  1. Re:why? on 'Microsoft Should Scrap Bing and Call it Microsoft Search' (cnet.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    While I think the name Bing is SHIT. renaming it to Microsoft Search would only confuse the average user for no benefit whatsoever.

    Which is my most users call it "DuckDuckGo"

    isn't that what duckduckgo uses for their back end?

    It uses Bing.

    But, if it turns out the charges were fraudulent, they won't charge you the fee.

    ..and who decides what charges are fraudulent and what charges arent?

    Credit cards are the only way to do business online. If there is a fraudulent charge its just a number on a bill, not missing money that you have to fight to get back.

  4. Re:California subsidizes your bullshit. on Even Apple and Google Engineers Can't Really Afford To Live Near Their Offices (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    California, like pretty much all progressive blue states, is a net 'giver' to the rest of the country.

    California gives less per capita to the Federal government than my State, as well as three other States.

    Explain to me again why I have to subsidize your Californian bullshit?

    The states which are net 'takers' are pretty much all red states, filled to the brim with illiterate morons like you.

    I see that you are a typical self-entitled asshole Californian that thinks everyone else is illiterate while you steal their money. Explain to the world why we should take economic advice from the people of a State that is in debt up to its fucking eyeballs?

  5. The last burn was in Earth orbit, so obviously it'll return there.

    In my experience its not obvious to most people, even on slashdot, and is evidenced whenever a discussion of planetary capture of moons comes up. The consequences of conservation of energy just doesnt factor into their thinking.

  6. Which is good, because now the rest of the country doesnt have to subsidize Californian bullshit.

    Come on Californians... you know... you do... you know.

  7. Alternate question: Why would anyone vote for Trump?

    Because the most unelectable politician possible rigged her primary while getting the press to pied piper a gameshow host that was even more unelectable, only to have to murder a big fan of the person she screwed out of the primary because as a party employee he copied the emails from the party email system and gave them to wikileaks, an organization that still has never had to retract anything, delivering proof to the people that she was even worse than they had already thought rigging her primary, getting debate questions before the debates, and draining the rest of the party completely dry of the funds needed to win elections across the board, all the while telling the public that you have to vote for #her.

    Clearly the proper response is McCarthyism.

  10. Re:Hate speech on Bill Gates: Tech Companies Inviting Government Intervention (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    But there's a line, and where we draw the line is the real issue.

    ..and the case of Jordan Peterson and what has transpired is proof that a good chunk of society is on the authoritarian side of it.

    Jordan gets significant more hate and threats than, for example, Cathy Newman, yet Cathy and her spin machine are crying about how terrible it is that her failed wildly dishonest hatchet job on Jordan spawned the small amount of hate and threats that it did against her.

    The facts of the matter are that men are predisposed to defending women for both social and evolutionary/genetic reasons, so much so that women have been getting away with over-blowing all things related to them. The term for it is damseling. "Help! I'm a damsel in distress!"

    That other identity groups are also damseling is no surprise. The left, however, refuses to acknowledge whats going on.

    Jordan Peterson, Bret Weinstein, and Dave Rubin are just 3 of the thousands of cases where not only is there damseling by identity group, but also where the press itself is complicit in it with complete and absolute dishonesty. All 3 of these liberal men have been called alt-right racist nazi sexists by the press itself just because they didnt tow the complete identitarian narrative in its entirety.

    More cases include James Damore, and Milo Yiannopoulos. The case of the last one is a special sort of gross dishonesty by the press, as they labeled the homosexual jew that is married to a black man a nazi white supremacist and they are still doing it to this day.

    The progressives in concert with the press are very rapidly ruining any credibility the progressives have and it can only hurt any actual progressive policy that someone might want to support. In short, this bullshit harms everyone. The progressives have become so regressive that its dragging us all down, both on the left AND the right.

    As far as the clan burning the cross... the clan did start out as primarily anti-catholic and they still are anti-catholic today. In rational minds, burning the cross is no different than burning the flag. You have a right to complain about either of them, but you dont have a right to prevent either of them, because free speech is the most important value we have.

  12. Re:Download the offline installer? on Skype Can't Fix a Nasty Security Bug Without a Massive Code Rewrite (zdnet.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    The issue as I understand it is that a bit of nefarious code running in user scope can take these steps:

    1) drop a properly named nefarious dll in a tmp directory
    2) alter the userspace path environment variable that will cause skypes updater to search this folder first for that properly named nefarious dll
    3) launch the skype installer which will then load the nefarious dll into a super user scope

    Society is slow to help problems that hurt men more and suicide seems a big one that hurts men significantly.

    Gender dysphoria is a mismatch between body and brain.

    Doesnt alter their suicide rates one bit. Ergo, its not a treatment. Its just bullshit pandering to a mentally ill person.... a mental illness that we dont pander to when its an arm or leg that they want to cut off.
