    You just described Slashdot's collapse.

    You confuse "news" with editorial opinion. Facts don't appeal to any one group over another. Some of us just want straight facts so we can form our own opinions. The media and these social media monopolies are trying to control opinion by disguising their agendas as fact.

  3. Simpsons on Intel Wants PCs To Be More Than Just 'Personal Computers' (engadget.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Homer had the same idea when he designed his car.

  4. Again, all people in power that matter must undergo security clearance investigations where ALL the skeletons are volunteered. That's why it's so abhorrent that partisan hacks have been placed at the top of those agencies to subvert democracy.

  5. It is plausible that British GCHQ is operating these while NSA looks the other way. Historically that's how they've gotten around laws prohibiting spying on US citizens.

  6. The FBI has always been the greatest threat since they know all of our leaders deepest secrets as part of the security clearance vetting process. That's what made J. Edgar Hoover such a menace and why it was such a bad thing when all of those FBI files were found in the Clinton White House several years ago.

  7. Re:Trump Eunuchs on California Senate Votes To Restore Net Neutrality (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    National polling is meaningless for Congressional races. Most Democrats live in concentrated areas geographically, generally known as the 80/20 Rule; i.e. 80% of registered Democrats live in 20% of the country. If a national poll is split 50-50 on a generic candidate that means Republicans have a sizeable lead in total congressional races.

  8. Controller overlays on Intellivision Lives: Tommy Tallarico Will Relaunch 1980s Console (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    What made the Intellivision unique was the numpad controller with slide-in plastic overlays. Hard to reproduce that in an emulator

    As a kid I spent more hours on my Intellivision with the voice box than my PS3 and PS4 combined.

    Not if the university is publicly funded. Remove the federal guarantees for student loans, allow them to be dischargable in bankruptcy and you will see the cost of university tuition plummet.

    Of course then the employees of those universities would complain about their collapsed wages, possibly go on strike and you'd be supporting that contradiction as well.

  14. Do you feel casinos should give the edge to the player? There wouldn't be any casinos then, congrats you just put ALL of those people out of work. Nobody is forcing gamblers to gamble just as nobody forced those workers to choose a career washing other people's dishes. Free will is an important part of the free market.

    Investors make crazy gobs of money? Such fantasy!

    1 in 100 or maybe 1 in 1000 strike it rich? The other 99% barely break even if they're lucky. Only in bubbles do "investors make crazy gobs of money" and then they all lose when that bubble pops. Another good reason for the gov't to stay the hell away from interfering in the free market as that's how most bubbles form in the first place.

    As the standard of living in the 3rd-world sweatshops increase - which their laborers demand - their wages will also increase, then it will once again be competitive for robot manufacturing to return to the US. Another example of how all boats rise from capitalism.

    Or we could try enforcing illegal immigration slave labor that drives wages down for all.

    Is it also too mean to suggest that perhaps being an entry level server is not a wise choice to make for a life-long career? The writing has been on the wall about automation for about 50 years now. We've all seen this coming.
