    Double down on your zealous ignorance, motherfucker. Yes. Play with your poop some more. Thats a good crapflooder. Keep it up.

    Yet another reason to laud President Trump. He is doing an excellent job of totally trashing "executive overreach" in the Federal Government. By the time he leaves office the wings of the Executive branch will be severely clipped, and the precedent will stand. We couldn't be more fortunate as Americans that it is happening. Bush, Obama, Clinton, etc. should never have had the power they wielded in the past.

    Do we have to put up with this crapflooding forever? Can't a few choice keywords like 'faggot' and maybe 'traitor' trigger an automatic downmod? This is pure unadulterated crapflooding, and extremely uninteresting to need to skip over.

    Net Neutrality as most often proposed is a gimmick. If it becomes highly politically partisan, it will be a creaky shrieking gimmick. The stench will kill it permanently.

    80% "support it"?? WTF does that even mean? Did the pollsters who said "Hillary would win" cook that number up?

    The irony is that in the early to mid Industrial Revolution, Americans got ahead because they weren't subject to the patents and restrictions that European entities were regulated by. The US was the equivalent then of China now.

  7. Don't bother googling it. It's probably not even in an Alphabet that google would recognize.

    If their CFO goes to US prison, I would worry about being a US or Canadian businessperson and doing anything that might be illegal in China. On that trip to HongKong or Singapore you might be interdicted.

    It's a risky precedent to be setting. I guess a bunch of crooked US business people in Chinese prison wouldn't be that big a loss, esp. if China has to pay to incarcerate them, but it's got to have the shady plutocrats a bit worried...

    Only if you live in overcrowded areas of the country. Out here, there's not nearly as much supervision.

  10. I want to see Spielburg surrender all awards he has gotten for films that subsequently were released for home viewing. They were sullied by being available outside the theatre and he should surrender all awards.

  11. Slashdot is for nerds. Annoying pinks like you need to just leave. Don't load slashdot on your browser again. You are unwelcome here.

  12. Maybe if films want to later be distributed on disc or on Netflix, they should be required to relinquish any Oscar awards they have recieved. We wouldn't want those lovely cinematic creations sullied by being viewed on mere tee vees. So any of Stephan Speilbergo's (the cheap mexican equivalent) films that are available for home viewing should lose their Oscar status.

  13. Apple don't make ant Mac hardware anymore that's not made out of laptop parts..

  14. Apple should buy Adobe and start making Adobe Creative Appliances and end Adobe making software for anything else. And then shut down a year later.

    Doesn't matter if you're making a popular smartphone or rubber dogshit.

    The best part about discussions like this is that it's near conceded that Apple is now 'a smartphone maker.' The Mac is just about dead.

    WTF? Sony was making what were perceived as 'top end' electronics when Apple's founders were making illegal blue-boxes for foreign students to steal long distance time from the phone companies.

  19. Indeed it is. Except that means nothing at all.

  20. Browsers need URL level visibility. Anything that obscures the URL in the browser should be fixed. Mouse-over should always display what is about to be clicked.

    One point of comparison is that with an old Beetle you will be out there doing that stuff with the tools regularly, since it requires constant maintenance and adjustment to keep it going.

    If you're hoping for luddites you had better be careful. Luddites weren't simply people complaining about your hyped fantasy tech on the Internet. Luddites were people who would smash shit up. Does your Tesla have armorplate?
