  1. How can Slashdot just repost a thread... on Washington Post Retracts Story About Russian Hackers Penetrating US Electricity Grid (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 2

    ...with an altered headline and act like they never fucked up in the first place? Fake news reporting fake news.

  2. The wapo edited the headline postpublication after it became obvious their pants were around their ankles.

  3. Re: Hey look! It's another MSM Russian Hacking Sto on Washington Post Retracts Story About Russian Hackers Penetrating US Electricity Grid (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Yep. Any time the media starts pushing a narrative this hard, one should immediately be skeptical.

  4. I don't know what beef Bezos has with Russia, but this rag has really gone downhill since he bought himself a newspaper.

  5. Call me an idiot, then. By all rights, Trump lost by more than a 2% margin.

    Trump didn't lose anything by 2%. He won by ~70 electoral votes.

  6. Again, there has not been any evidence presented that the DNC was hacked.

  7. Re:How is this even an issue? on FBI and Homeland Security Detail Russian Hacking Campaign In New Report (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    How is providing transparency undermining our most important institution? The only truth that was revealed was that John Podesta and the DNC were actively undermining our most important institution.

  8. Go to any college campus and look at all the Marxists.

  9. Not doing anything is often a tough decision.

    Then the Obama Administration has made a hell of a lot of tough decisions.

  10. Re:Why should anyone trust the report? on FBI and Homeland Security Detail Russian Hacking Campaign In New Report (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    No one says they affected the national vote. And if they did hack the DNC, they did it DURING THE PRIMARY.

    There's no evidence yet that anyone hacked into the DNC. Or if there is, it still hasn't been presented. The simplest answer is that an insider who supported Bernie Sanders copied the inbox file to a thumb drive and gave it to wikileaks.

    Do you honestly believe we'd be hearing all this Russia crap if Hillary had won? Answer that question honestly, and you'll have the truth.

  13. A DNC insider wouldn't have had to use a phishing attack. They could have just copied the inbox file and put it on a thumb drive.

  14. Re:Its a talking point on FBI and Homeland Security Detail Russian Hacking Campaign In New Report (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    And you are falling for a smokescreen offered by the Administration (which is obviously a paramount of truth) laying blame on others for why they wasted 1.2 billion dollars in campaign donations and still lost to a second rate tv reality star.

  15. The insider would have had legal access to the email system. No hacking needed. Crowdstrike was contracted by the DNC. Of course they are going to come up with a scenario that makes the leaks somehow not the DNC's fault.

  16. Re: Why bother on US Announces Response To Russian Election Hacking [Update] (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I saw a missile defense program get canceled. And after every aggressive move made by Putin, I saw a limp wristed response. I saw a total failure to stop Russian aggression in Syria. Why would Russia think that he has anything to worry about from us foreign policy?

  17. Re: Why bother on US Announces Response To Russian Election Hacking [Update] (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Obama already gave them free reign to fuck around with Europe. Have you not been paying attention?

    Why do you think DT is Russia's "man"? You think Russia wants massive US military expansion?

  19. ...and I thought it was just me. I have been having the premature battery shutdown problem ever since I installed Nougat. I just assumed the battery was getting tired.

  20. Re:i think Turkey on Turkey Says It's Investigating 10,000 Social Network Users (engadget.com) · · Score: 2

    This isn't paranoia. This is a purge.

  21. Actually, government should... on US Congressional Committee Concludes Encryption Backdoors Won't Work (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    ...fuck off, and rediscover traditional investigative techniques, instead of relying on the fascist relationships it has with corporations to get the easy access to illegal surveillance it's been reliant on for too long.

  22. You'd think terrorists would be that smart. But time and again we find after the act that they were active on social media, and used it exactly like you'd expect.

    You mean it was a radio controlled helicopter?

  24. Re:So, President Snowden? on Congressional Report Claims Snowden In 'Contact With Russian Intelligence' (cnn.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Trump didn't lose by 2.9 million votes either. He won by ~70 electoral votes.

    Slashdot isn't a printed periodical. It is pretty much the only online forum that doesn't let you edit comments.
