  1. Re:Bitcoin is stupid. on Steam Ends Support For Bitcoin (polygon.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Luckily there is never a shortage of complete morons with money to fleece. Tulips anyone?

  2. Re:Very dangerous, despite the name bruhaha on 'Bomb on Board' Wi-Fi Network Causes Turkish Airlines Flight To Be Diverted (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Um, no it couldn't have.

  3. When was the last time someone in the US starved to death? The most destitute here have an obesity epidemic.

  4. Have you ever heard of a person in the US starving to death? Ever? Serious question.

  5. Trump won because of bots? Again, the Clinton campaign openly bragged about the tens of millions they were paying David Brock to hire online trolls. Correct the Record? Media Matters?

  6. Clinton is going to run again in 2020. How do see that working out?

  7. The Clinton campaign was the one who spent more than $1 million PER MONTH on an army of internet trolls paid specifically to social engineer comments sections and social media. They openly bragged about it. David Brock is desperately trying to keep that operation going by accusing others of doing exactly the same thing.

    What position of authority was Draper in?

  9. Re:There was a solution to this many years ago on iOS 11 'Is Still Just Buggy as Hell' (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I would gladly carry an extra 1/4" thick phone if someone would bring back the slideout keyboard style.

  10. Re:Correct. on Foreign Students Have Begun To Shun the United States (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    "Or pay $500,000 to get an education that is free in my country."

    If I move to your country can I get that education for free? Why not?

    Do you get to choose any school to study any field you wish? Or do you have to score in the top percentile in order to go to the top school, otherwise be shuffled off to the trade school of [i]their[/i] choosing?

    That "free" European education myth sounds great until it doesn't.

  11. Hive impersonates Kapersky certs and netwrok traff on WikiLeaks Starts Releasing Source Code For Alleged CIA Spying Tools (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    CIA's Hive can also hide it's outbound network traffic from compromised devices to look like traffic going to Kapersky. That's also in the leak posted by Wikileaks.

  12. Re:If you really believe that ... just short it! on The Bitcoin Bubble (economist.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The subprime mortgage market bubble was incredibly obvious, just not to those whose entire net worth was leveraged to participate in it (i.e. those buying McMansions with no money down and no way to afford the adjustable rates).

    In a few years you'll be telling us that no one say the bubble in higher education either when it has been blindingly obvious for more than a decade.

  13. The FBI doesn't indict, imbecile.

  14. Re:Here comes the alt-right on China Spreads Propaganda to U.S. on Facebook, a Platform it Bans at Home (nytimes.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    It would make more sense that you're the Russian! spy sent here to make Democrats look like imbeciles. The Russians! collusion narrative fell apart a long time ago. Now it just looks like a Clinton campaign op meant to excuse her loss to the circus clown and giver her the nomination again 2020 on the premise that The Russians! stole it from her in 2016.

  15. Ah, a socialist utopia. It's been tried several times and led to millions of deaths and human suffering on a scale difficult to imagine. But in your mind you'll be in charge this time so none of that matters...

  16. You could always start your own business, hire people and then not have any expectations for them to produce. See how that works out for you.

  17. LastPass knows your passwords? on LastPass Reveals the Threats Posed By Passwords in the Workplace (betanews.com) · · Score: 0

    LastPass employees have access to everyone's passwords? I think that'd be a bigger story.

  18. Re:No surprise... on Student Charged By FBI For Hacking His Grades More Than 90 times (sophos.com) · · Score: 1

    That one is ridiculously expensive. Nice try sneaking in that affiliate link though.

  19. Re:student loans need chapter 11 and 7 on Many Junior Scientists Need To Take a Hard Look at Their Job Prospects (nature.com) · · Score: 1

    Your friends were also told which field they would be training in and at what school. Only the top 2% get to choose for themselves.

  20. Re:Beleivable on Kaspersky Admits To Reaping Hacking Tools From NSA Employee PC (zdnet.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Doing that with Officially Classified materials has legal consequences. .

    Unless you're Hillary Clinton, of course.

  21. Re:And the biggest blunder of a comment award goes on Slashdot's 20th Anniversary: History of Slashdot · · Score: 0

    And that article about the iPod has over 1000 comments and doesn't even mention Trump or climate change hysteria.

    Ah, the good old days before Slashdot turned into a clickbait farm.

  22. Whoever thought this was a good idea needs to be taken out back with the fake tech-support scammers.

  23. Re:Why does Ebay not do escrow? on eBay Launches Authentication Service To Combat Counterfeit High-End Goods (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    This is a result of all manufacturing being moved to China. It used to be that originals were bought from the country of origin and then copied in China. Those were easy to detect. Now the fakes are being made in the same factory as the originals, either by third shift or just selling the units that don't pass quality-control.

    The number of cold days is a function of solar activity though.
