  1. They exist so.. on Ask Slashdot: Is LinkedIn Still Relevant? · · Score: 1

    Marketers and head hunters can send you spam.

  2. We will deserve it... on Can the US Stop China From Controlling the Next Internet Age? (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    ...if we continue to sell our souls in the name of profit. Time and time again, we ignore the Chinese governments abuses and atrocities just so we can get access to their vast population. It's a literal deal with the devil.

  3. Yes correct. Everything you said is nonsense.

  4. Re: True calling? on Voice Tech Like Alexa and Siri Hasn't Found Its True Calling Yet (recode.net) · · Score: 2

    None of those would be accomplished faster by going upstairs and bringing a system back from sleep and typing the question in.

    So no one has a smart phone on them?

  5. Re:small town on Wildfire Devastates California Town of Paradise (apnews.com) · · Score: 2

    Yeah, and entire town is destroyed by fire ruining thousands of lives. NBD AMIRITE??!!

  6. Re:This is a good thing on To Keep Pace With Moore's Law, Chipmakers Turn to 'Chiplets' (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Wait, aren't there only like 4 or 5 big chip makers now?

  7. This is a good thing on To Keep Pace With Moore's Law, Chipmakers Turn to 'Chiplets' (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    Hitting up against Moore's law is probably the best thing for the chip industry. It's going to force them to innovate.

  8. Re:News flash! on When Your Day Job Isn't Enough (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    You're right! I stand corrected.

  9. News flash! on When Your Day Job Isn't Enough (wsj.com) · · Score: 2

    This has been going on since jobs were invented. It continues to amuse me how often tech workers think they pioneered most of the shit they're doing.

  10. As the maxim goes... on China Makes a Big Play In Silicon Valley (npr.org) · · Score: 2

    ...the U.S. innovates while China steals.

  11. I'm gonna ask for sources. If you or anyone else has a problem with that then too bad. The way I see it, people who complain about having to cite their sources are people who don't know what the hell they're talking about and most likely can't cite any sources because they are just regurgitating something they read in an online forum.

  12. Hah! Yeah I realized that after the fact. But good on you any ways for being a responsible part of the community.

  13. If he/she does not provide sources then I disregard what they say. It's as simple as that.

  14. It's sad to see people throwing a fit over being asked to cite their sources. Sorry, but your words are shit unless you back them up.

  15. Nope, sorry. The burden of proof is on you sir or madam.

  16. If you want to me take anything you say seriously then you best back up your words. I'm not doing the legwork for you.

  17. Awesome! Now was that so hard?

  18. Re:science not emotion on Trump Administration Sees a 7-Degree Rise in Global Temperatures By 2100 (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Big claims. Where's your sources?

  19. Re:Plex is a pirates tool on Plex To Shut Down Its Cloud Service (variety.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    More correctly, those of us who use Plex desire to control our own assets. Putting out content on the cloud takes that control away because Amazon or whoever can easily wipe out those assets or just simply block us from accessing them. Plus, we would have to pay an ISP to access those assets. Keeping them local means we don't even have to pay anyone extra money to use our own assets.

  20. it certainly will do a great job of bringing in votes for the GOP and pushing anyone with even a tiny bit of ethics left in them away from the Democrats.

    lol! Care to elaborate on this set of mental gymnastics?

  21. Greatness in apathy. on Planet At Risk of Heading Towards Irreversible 'Hothouse Earth' State (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    If we as a nation are capable of election Donald Trump as president. Then we are more than capable of completely ignoring this issue. I have little faith that humanity as a whole is up to this challenge either.

  22. Re:Renaming Neighborhood is bad? on As Google Maps Renames Neighborhoods, Residents Fume (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    There are no "official" neighborhood names within the city. The names are just a result of a certain name gaining critical mass where everyone just starts using it. That's part of the problem. Google being the large force that it is, can vault a name to that critical mass point pretty easily.

  23. Lazy on Fake News 'Crowding Out' Real News (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Tory MP Damian Collins said people struggle to identify "fake news."

    "fake news" rarely holds up to scrutiny and fact checking. So it's not really a struggle, but a glut of apathy.
