  1. They've been able to move, study, live and work freely throughout the EU since the 1950s. That won't change. Take a look at Norway, for example. Something that WILL change is the amount of dole that will be available to them. It remains to be seen whether it will go up or down though.

  2. You sound like you think GB being free from the EU is a bad thing. Sure, it's bad for large corporations that depend upon regulations to stifle startups. But other than that, everyone wins.

  3. Re:That's money in the bank baby! on Austin Is Conducting Sting Operations Against Ride-Sharing Drivers (examiner.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "Remember, Uber and Lyft were not forced out of Austin. They simply left because they didn't want to play by the rules."

    To be fair, they left because Austin changed the rules.

  4. Re:Standard Operating Practice on Web Petition For 2nd EU Referendum Draws Huge Interest (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    Which is the same as saying - Keep having referendums until Big Government and Big Banks get the outcome they want. Then never have a referendum again.

  5. I can't believe someone at Slashdot is using Vox as a legitimate source for anything involving Hillary. Vox is practically a spokesperson for the Democratic party. O course they won't be able to see the search manipulation that is right before their eyes.

    Here are more examples of how Google skewed the search results involving Clinton. Don't trust sources. Trust factual information that you can test yourself. http://freebeacon.com/politics...

    Trump is so awful that the only person on the planet who would be a worse president is Hillary Clinton. Man, we sure know how to pick 'em.

    That is BRILLIANT.

  8. Re:Password Generator on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Create A Highly-Secure Password? (securitymagazine.com) · · Score: 1

    But then you have to write them down somewhere to remember them. That's very bad. I've had luck remembering single random password, but I use it lots of places. So if it gets cracked in one place, I'm screwed in many others.

    Misanthropic principle: People suck.

    You've piqued my interest. How can they continue without getting a new domain name first, Trachman?

    Actually, the head of CNN just admitted that they leaned too far to the left, and for the past three months he has been trying to rectify it. There ratings are now higher than they've been in quite some time, relative to the other news channels. There is no centrist news anymore. If CNN can pull it off, they could take over.

    I would have thought a bigger story than Facebook wants to become the only way to get your news, is that Facebook wants to use its power to control what news you can see.

    The only reason Fox News is so big is because it's close to the only conservative-leaning news company available. If you compare it vs. the left wing news groups NYT, WaPo, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, LaTimes... the list is almost endless - the media is still dramatically left wing.

  13. Re: *TRIGGERED* on Tech Firms Have An Obsession With 'Female' Digital Servants (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I wish there was a "score:6" for your comment. Gender studies should be a silly hobby. Not a college degree.

    I always knew I was an a-hole, but it's nice to have a scientific study that backs it up.

    I love you! Just as a friend. You know what I mean.

    I had the info stolen off my computer last year. The thieves who took it are now slightly dumber for having read it.

  17. New study confirms on Female Computer Programmers Make $0.72 For Every Dollar Made By Male: Study (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1, Funny

    Women are more likely to get pregnant and leave the workforce for years at a time. I know it's shocking, but I looked at the data. Men just never seem to get pregnant - at least in the STEM fields.

  18. I'm less interested in the porn than I am the quality of the shadows behind the porn. For that, you need a really good graphics card.

  19. The good news is that James Hansen has been consistently wrong about every prediction he has ever made. EVER. So it's safe to relax.

    Move to Venezuela for a year before you tell me how good socialism is.

    Socialism is only a dirty word in places that have experienced it.

  22. "Honestly, who gives a **** about what time Tom Cruise took a shit last night?" - ArmoredDragon

    It should be noted that ArmoredDragon is in fact Tom Cruise's alias. And he went to the bathroom last night at 9:40PM. Rumor has it that it was a bowel movement.

    I don't have mod points today, so let me just say, thumbs up on your comment! It's gotten to the point where I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I'm a heterosexual.

    When are they going to finally come out with that line of footwear I've been hearing so much about (the iShoe)? I'm starting to think it's just vaporware.
