  1. Re:It's 2018... on Hey Microsoft, Stop Installing Apps On My PC Without Asking (howtogeek.com) · · Score: 1

    Thanks. I was wondering how long it would be until one of the c^cksuckers I was talking about put in an appearance. You sure didn't disappoint!

  2. Re:US sanctions on Venezuela Launches Oil-Backed Cryptocurrency (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 0

    So they're pretty much like the US, but without a good PR Department.

  3. Let's be honest... on Venezuela Launches Oil-Backed Cryptocurrency (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Venezuela's crypto-currency is no more of a crap shoot than the stock market, if you're just one of the little fish devoured by the thousands every day by predators like Goldman Sachs.

  4. Ah, the irony on Who Killed The Junior Developer? (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    The story summary after this one has the following headline: "US's Greatest Vulnerability is Ignoring the Cyber Threats From Our Adversaries, Foreign Policy Expert"

    A quick skim of the comments on Slashdot shows almost all the Anonymous Cowards and a significant number of the identified commenters think it's the job of the US government to get the hell out of the way of business and watch it turn America into some kind of libertarian utopia.

    Sadly, this is what happens instead. Business won't provide entry level jobs for the best and most talented young computer people, because "Fuck you. Our only mission is to enrich our shareholders and society can suck it."

    So those bright, talented young kids find somewhere else where they can make a buck while they develop and exercise their skills.

  5. Broader Application on AI is Being Used To Raise Better Pigs in China (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Perhaps this technology could be adapted to provide a better class of Congressmen and Senators.

    Since it works on pigs, it's at least worth a try. It it worked on rats, weasels and reptiles, it would be a slam dunk.

  6. Re:Russian Trolls Have Also Invaded Slashdot on Pro-Gun Russian Bots Flood Twitter After Parkland Shooting (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Sadly, I do...though not for so long as you.

  7. Re:It's 2018... on Hey Microsoft, Stop Installing Apps On My PC Without Asking (howtogeek.com) · · Score: 2

    The only real problem with switching away from Windows is that the Linux community is almost as full of c^cksuckers as the men's room at the Republican National Convention.

  8. Re:Controversial study on Ultra-Processed Foods May Be Linked To Cancer, Says Study (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I hear Scott also said his thoughts and prayers are with the victims' families.

    No doubt they're touched that such an important man is spending his time thinking about them.

  10. Re:He's got my vote, here's why on Trump's Infrastructure Plan Has No Dedicated Money For Broadband (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't need to be eloquent. You're and AC...and a liar.

    Liar.

  12. Re:Look at all the deniers... on 25 Years of Satellite Data Shows Global Warming Is Accelerating Sea Level Rise (usnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Anybody who quotes Walt Kelly is a worthy person.

  13. Who would have thought! on US Senators Voice Concern Over Chinese Access To Intellectual Property (reuters.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And these corporate blow boys are just now figuring out that dealing with China means they will suck every iota of technology out of your company and throw it back a year later as their own?

    Seriously...it's 'way past time Americans at least made a token effort to get control of their government back from the oligarchs.

  14. Look at all the deniers... on 25 Years of Satellite Data Shows Global Warming Is Accelerating Sea Level Rise (usnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Global Warming deniers sure love to be Anonymous Cowards when they're blathering their anti-science bullshit.

  15. Re:My attempt was relatively tame... on Google Autocomplete Still Makes Vile Suggestions (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    I got this, and I spend literally zero time looking for racist stuff.

  16. My attempt was relatively tame... on Google Autocomplete Still Makes Vile Suggestions (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    I tried "Jews are". Google auto-completed it as "Jews aren't white".

  17. It's just you. Whistle-blowing isn't "leaking".

  18. Re: potatoes and soy is the world's #1 food on Spread of Breast Cancer Linked To Compound In Asparagus and Other Foods (theguardian.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...three years ago.

  20. ...yerass

  21. Thanks for the education. I had no idea they'd actually gotten to the point of installing crap like that in an Enterprise edition. How can you be responsible for customers' confidential information when the actual OS is undermining your security efforts? It's like somebody scattering cell door keys around a prison and not expecting problems.

  22. It took long enough! on Pornhub Is Banning AI-Generated 'Deepfakes' Porn Videos (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    I am profoundly relieved, because that nasty Scarlett Johansson person will be unable to post videos featuring my face grafted onto the bodies of her lovers. The chance that my dignity might be outraged in this way been worrying me ever since "deepfakes" became a thing.

    Pat Robertson.

  24. Is this what it means... on Xerox Cedes Control To Fujifilm, Ending Its Independence (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I dated a girl with the attributes to deliver such a fate when I was 15.
