  1. What the fuck!? on Google Earth's Timelapses Offer a 32-Year Look At Earth's Changing Surface (pcmag.com) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Nothing in this article has a thing to do with Trump! Is slashdot jumping the shark or something?

  2. Re:Everyone's demanding higher pay on Uber Drivers Demand Higher Pay in Nationwide Protest (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Even the lowest paid student burger flipper could do with more pay, and a rising tide lifts all ships. Why in the world would you be against pay raises?

  3. Re:Encrypt everything! on The UK Is About to Legalize Mass Surveillance [Update] (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Why not just vote with your feet? If you don't like the rules in one place you move to another. Isn't that how free markets are supposed to work?

  4. In an age where a person can't even speak his mind without even the least semblance of privacy what does this matter?

  5. How is your "do not spy list" shaping up? Of course your privacy may not be as valuable to you as it is to others.

  6. Nope, not a chance. I see no mention of an integrated hardware keyboard, and it is less open the Harmatten. Open is open. Manufacturers dictating control is not open. Nokia cam close with the N900, all that was needed was someone to take it just that small step forward.

  7. Mine, after nearly 7 years of daily use, sadly is on its last legs. And to be honest it never was 100% true "open source". Nothing available now that I know of comes even close though. Someone I know bragged about having 64gb of storage, I've had that like for near 7 years now. And if I needed more all I have to do was swap out the memory card. And I really don't get this slim fetish.

  8. Copyrights and other IP protections can bite the dust as far as I'm concerned. If I choose to pay more to support the creator of a work, I want to be sure that the creator of the work I chose to support benefits.

  9. Re:The States elect the President of the States. on Slashdot Asks: Should The US Abolish The Electoral College? · · Score: 1

    Yes, you did. When the voters in each state cast votes for the Presidential candidate of their choice they are voting to select their state's Electors.

  10. The States elect the President of the States. on Slashdot Asks: Should The US Abolish The Electoral College? · · Score: 1

    The People elect their Representatives. We are a Representative Republic after all.

  11. Such as Billionaires who have declared bankruptcy? on IT Workers Facing Layoffs Jolted By CEO's Message (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I understand Trump as declared it a number of times.

  12. Re:Don't worry guys... on IT Workers Facing Layoffs Jolted By CEO's Message (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    ...and totally devoted to his beloved wife...

    Would that be Marla or Ivana?

  13. So if the majority perfer Window's 7 Window's 7 shouldn't win?

  14. Re:Good for the Chines! on China Launches New Heavy-Lift Long March 5 Rocket For First Time (space.com) · · Score: 1

    The last tine we physically put a human on another piece of rock was when exactly?

  15. Could it be more people like Windows 7 and 8 better than Window's 10? In a free market economy the most popular option should win.

  16. Good for the Chines! on China Launches New Heavy-Lift Long March 5 Rocket For First Time (space.com) · · Score: 1

    Since the US has obviously taken a backseat on space exploration it is good another nation is willing to step up.

  17. Re:Because Enterprise Faired So Poorly on Star Trek Discovery Gets Delayed After Losing Showrunner Bryan Fuller (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    The stone who played Sinclair destroyed other seasons as well. Why did they allow O'Hare to ruin a magnificent series such as this anyway?

  18. Re:Because Enterprise Faired So Poorly on Star Trek Discovery Gets Delayed After Losing Showrunner Bryan Fuller (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    The actor who portrayed Sinclair was the main reason for Babylon 5s downfall. The man couldn't act his way out of paper bag.

  19. Because Enterprise Faired So Poorly on Star Trek Discovery Gets Delayed After Losing Showrunner Bryan Fuller (variety.com) · · Score: 2

    Enterprise could have and should have been the ultimate Star Trek prequel, and other than the stupid temporal cold war and Xindi things, I quite enjoyed the show. It was quite fascinating to see how new technologies and discoveries were dealt with by the crew.

    Another series ripe for a reboot is Stargate. It is such a shame that its writers so jumped the shark with SGU. Members of forums I frequented quite loudly told them how the direction they were taking was destroying the franchise, but of course they knew better than Stargate fans what Stargate fans wanted to watch.

  20. If I were a programmer I MIGHT worry about such minutia, but would bank on AI eventually becoming smart enough to interpret the usual human error. After all, people have been doing it since there were people.

  21. Evidence based practice, that is what they are supposed to be following. Do you have any proof that standard vaccines are harmful. Do they?

  22. I'm just saying if anyone benefits all who paid should profit. Why would you have a problem with that?

  23. Allow them to keep their licenses provided they retake their nursing exams. Obviously they haven't been keeping up with science.

  24. Then don't waste so much time on trivial matters.

  25. Great!! on First New US Nuclear Reactor In 20 Years Goes Live (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Can you translate if please? Hard to do with the political nonsense interfering with the message.
