  1. Re:Folks, we are in big trouble on FCC Will Also Order States To Scrap Plans For Their Own Net Neutrality Laws (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Resistance is futile. And that burn it to the ground stuff was tried in the sixties. Didn't work then and now the cops have flack jackets and semi-auto handguns that hold 15 or 16 shots it definitely won't work now. In fact the gov't is hoping you'll try.

  2. In California it's a felony to harass Bigfoot, Sasquatch or other undiscovered subspecies.

    I know what net and content and dickhead means.

    Net neutrality doesn't mean that you are entitled to free content.

    It did for most of the last twenty years.

    On Gentoo linux, there is an "offensive" use flag with fortune so you can keep the offensive ones or not. I chose to keep them. Every now and again I get a chuckle from them.

    All I saw was whining and self pity. Thought it would help snap you out of your malaise.

    And if you think the Canadian government isn't complicit in all of this nefarious activity you just haven't been paying attention.

    Concerning the Chairman's direction, you left out letting Trump think that he's getting the better of him. Throw him a big dinner, he'll love it.

    Damn! I should have googled it first.

    Maybe he grabbed some woman's boobs ten years ago and now has little choice. Charlie Rose is probably wishing he thought of this right about now.

  14. Sorry, I didn't realize this was a test.

  15. Tim Cook is into filling different niches.

  16. One of the things I like about slashdot is that we all have a wide latitude and nothing is taken too seriously. To me, it seems that there's enough limits on free speech already. But some won't be happy until there's no free speech left.

  17. When you want to know the truth on Eric Schmidt Says Google News Will 'Engineer' Russian Propaganda Out of the Feed (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    You don't ask Eric Schmidt. There's bad people on all sides.

  18. It all went off the rails somewhere. What would Thomas Edison think of Mark Zuckerberg?

  19. It would be interesting to see the U.S. economy completely crash just to see who really is essential and who is superfluous. There's an excess of smugness these days. I can see an every man for himself situation develop very quickly.

  20. Fortunately for you I don't consider your calling me "beyond retarded" hate speech although some might. That's my point, hate speech is poorly defined. What was acceptable last week may not be next week. What is hateful to one may not be to another. And yes, you can't yell fire in a crowded theater or say the CIA killed JFK (even if they did) or that the holocaust never took place. Where does the slippery slop end? Retard?

  21. And remember your government doesn't owe you anything. Not even the truth.

  22. You're right. What was I thinking? Free speech in the United States, must have heard it in an old speech or something back when people were dumb enough to believe it. Never had it and never will. There's probably more freedoms that I "imagined" people had, maybe it's something to look into. Thanks.

  23. Re:Hate speech on Stock Music Artists Aren't Always Happy About How Their Music Is Used (wired.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The concept of hate speech contradicts free speech. You can't believe in both. You either have free speech or you don't.

  24. There's a lesson here on Intel Planning To End Legacy BIOS Support By 2020, Report Says (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Once again we're left at the mercy of a multinational corporation who doesn't give a shit about anything except maximizing profits. Intel and google like to peddle their vendor lock-in as security features. They're so dishonest, but that's good. Every so often you have to remind yourself that despite the nice talk, they're not your friend. Just pretending.

  25. Re:They used to be made in Germany on Volkswagen To Spend Over $40 Billion on Electric and Self-Driving Cars (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    These days the game seems to be what can you do with your Siemens NX or Solidworks software. Between that and over regulation is why cars now all have a similar appearance. Quality in general seems to be better but there are no new cars that wow me. They all seem way overly complex. The first car I bought as a teenager to fix up was a 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge for $1000. in 1980. The world certainly has changed a lot since then.
