  1. It's more an instance of shrill denial. They've managed to brainwash themselves into believing it to be impossible for there to be a President Trump other than through chicanery. The 'grassroots' can't handle the fact that things don't go their way. AstroTurf is too fucking expensive for it to go so badly.

  2. If someone is meddling with your election, you take steps to fix your election.

    The point is, the people who usually fix the elections didn't get their result last time around. They're mad as hell, and they're not taking it anymore.

  3. We can't have discussions like that if it involves Hillary missing 'her turn' yet another time.

    Really, in this fractured primary climate, who can unify The Party more than Ms. Clinton herself?

  4. This is the same Bloomburg with the hidden chips in Supermicro motherboards?

    Or is this another case of 'Good Wikileaks/Bad Wikileaks'?

  5. It has Marvel involved in it. It's bound to be comic book trash.

  6. Re:Does anyone actually care? on 'Captain Marvel' Smashes Box Office Record, Laughs Off Review-Bombing Trolls (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    My problem is that Marvel annoys me. It annoys me that a comic book company has come to be such an important factor in movie making. I don't like superhero-type comics. They are PlasticFantasticFake.

  7. It takes a weeks notice for it to show up, and then it can take up to 10 of your library items....

  8. Zuckerberg is a bigger, and weirder nerd than almost anybody here on Slashdot. He is such a nerd that almost all the other nerds can't stand him, let alone the pinks.

    The only pinks that will hang out with him are the parasites that hang around like pilot fish.

    MacOS is evolving into the expensive proprietary hardware developers had to use to develop Nintendo games.

    USB dongle for the USB thumb drive (for the occasional file copy from one system to another; aka sneakernet).

    You're supposed to copy from one of your computers to another 'through the cloud' so that the contents can be scrutinized in case something bad might be in whatever you're copying. For your pr0tection.

    He didn't say Linux. That could be a chromebook, which has deep linux support since it runs a Linux kernel tuned by the manufacturer.

    The firefighters should have been operating on a completely different tier and on different channels. They should not have been allowed to be sold a bill of goods by SV hucksters who want everything 'on the Internet'. The fucks who designed and sold the "cheap" tools for the firefighters should be punished, not the carriers that the hucksters assumed would be 'good enough.'

    All packets CAN'T travel 'equally' like that. Unless you want services that die when there is latency to cease to exist. Your VOIP traffic needs to travel by vastly different means than some cached pop culture bullshit that a streamer is consuming.

    You're responding to a crapflooder who probably doesn't believe in anything. Gibbering hollow nothings. It's sad that they can get a response from any of us.

    They should quit promising a data rate and just publish the tier rates. Sorry, torenters and streamers. You get to pay for your proportion finally. I can pony up a few bucks when I want to download an ISO or a bug game install. And you can pay for that fat pipe of mainstream shit culture that should be multicast, not streamed to individual clients.

    This. We need mainstream America to see more of this.

    The mainstream Democratic Party regulars have spent too many years doing 'nudge, nudge, wink, wink' to the far left. Their principles have been hollowed out by years of tolerating far left rhetoric.

    They're in trouble, now.

    Killing the individual mandate was sufficient. Now the thing can die on it's own.

    So you're saying that the direction things are going is that people who use Netflix and other streaming stuff will have to pay more for the huge additional portion of the pipe that they use? So my cost will be less?
