  1. Re:Going to vote with your wallet? on Almost Half Of All TSA Employees Have Been Cited For Misconduct (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually Texas tried to make it illegal for the TSA to molest you with HB1937. The feds responded in their usual manner and said they would enact a "no fly zone" over the entire state if it passed.

    You can't beat shipping your belongings by UPS or Fedex. They will get there on schedule and you'll have tracking and verification.

  3. Question on Maximizing Economic Output With Linear Programming...and Communism (medium.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm lazy and don't want to get up in the morning. Why should I continue working when I could quit and get paid less? I would still get food stamps and reducing income housing. Sounds like working is for suckers.

  4. The dumbass had a server located in the USA. Read the fucking article.

  5. Honestly Black and Decker isn't much better than a Chinese knockoff. They are the cheapest appliance brand for a reason.

  6. That screen could connect to a brand new current technology million dollar mainframe for all they know.

  7. Re:So, what about other browsers. on Maxthon Web Browser Sends Sensitive Data To China (securityweek.com) · · Score: 2

    Typing into the omnibar is the same as typing into google.com. What is your point? Are my passwords being sent? Is my browser history being sent? Again, put up or shut up with proof.

    If they did send anything sensitive we would know about it by now. I mean come on hundreds of millions of people use these browsers and not a single person has posted any packet sniffer logs or demonstrated any proof of malicious behavior. The neckbeards here love to claim Chrome does this but ask them to provide some details and they suddenly clam up.

  9. Re:Do the people who write this software... on Windows Malware Poses As Ransomware, Just Deletes Victims' Files (slashgear.com) · · Score: 1

    Hey if I lived in a country that was untouchable by the USA I'd give it a shot. Easy money by scamming a few rubes.

  10. Re:Thanks for the concise summary on FBI Closes D.B. Cooper Investigation After 45 Years (oregonlive.com) · · Score: 2

    I think the argument is government resources would be of better use on crimes not approaching the half century mark.

  11. Such a great parallel on Third Tesla Crashes Amid Report of SEC Investigation (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Tesla's autopilot is what systemd is to Linux. Beta tested by the users and still not ready for anything serious. Does it compile? Great, upload to the mirrors!

  12. WOW on Qualcomm's New Snapdragon 821 Is 10 Percent Faster Than the 820 (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Such amazing news! A new processor is slightly faster than the previous model!

    Pretty much sll pre-packaged baked goods have a sweet chemical taste. It's technically food but everything is processed to hell.

  15. Catching dumb terrorists on US Terrorist Conviction Appealed Over Use of NSA Data (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    This guy was never really a threat. Some undercover agents started asking around who wanted to plant a bomb. This genius said ok and the FBI made a fake bomb and let him press the button. He never would have done this by himself. Sure he deserved to be locked up but this was hardly some mastermind they captured.

  16. Re:karma's a bitch on Baton Rouge Police Database Hacked In Retaliation For Killing of Alton Sterling (dailydot.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This problem has a few pieces. First cops have the us versus them mentality. Everyone other than a cop is just a person who hasn't committed a crime yet. Second cops are taught to maintain control of the situation to matter what. Tell a cop knocking on your door that he can't come in and what him flip out, kick the door in and pull a gun on you. Third the unions and legal system ensure cops rarely do jail time. Why do cops get trials where a judge decides? How can an average citizen get those privileges?

  17. Is is the same guy who kept posting about cows?

  18. While belonging to opposite political parties, at the end of the day they all play for the same team. The government takes care of its own.

    Firing him wasn't an excuse, he punched a co-worker. They had to fire him at that point. That said, I am a fan of him but had no idea he would get physical with anyone.

    Matt Le Blanc isn't a bad host but they really need someone dry and British. Eventually they're going to run out of jokes about him being American.

    This watermarking is different in that it is unique to every copy of the ebook. Maybe the text was locked inside a binary?
