  1. Re:Example plots? on 2016 Hugo Awards Shortlist Dominated By Rightwing Campaign (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    Any plot that doesn't have some downtrodden minority sexual preference as a hero as far as I can tell. On the other side we have old hardliners who We must admit, some of them are outspoken bigots. What both sides of foaming fanatics are doing is ruining an awards process to further their own polarized agendas. I've read some really old sci-fi that integrated other sexual preferences as far back as the fifty's. Its was a robot or a alien but you could see what they were driving at.
    Today however the lefties insist it must include their ideals to be real sci-fi. The righties? They insist on their missionary style of writing to be the only real sci-fi. Personally I'm in the middle. And as a straight up het, I can take or leave some of this hermaphroditic crap I see nowadays. The best I've read lately has included a little of both.. So the answer to you're question is, If it doesn't have LGBT flowing out of every page its right wing.

  2. If symantec had any cred at all on Symantec: Cruz and Kasich Campaign Apps May Expose Sensitive Data (go.com) · · Score: 1

    They don't though. People buy their product and when they have trouble they call in and get transferred to some non English speaking country, where the scammers they employ get remote access to computer and create the sense the machine needs more work. Crappy tactics like filtering the event viewer to only show critical errors. When they get done nine times out to ten the customer has spent an extra 300 bucks and their machine is usually more hosed than it was. So what symantec thinks about security, isn't worth knowing.

    Maybe. But probably not.

  4. let them use the courts for their civil lawsuit on US ISPs Refuse To Disconnect Persistent Pirates (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 2

    They say piracy but really its civil. I get these notices to deliver their crap letters to our customers. They want us to roll a truck to deliver them for free. Not one has ever subpoenaed us through the courts. When asked to pay for the truck roll they hang up and refuse. They wan't us as a process server for free. We don't live in the land of the free we live in the land of them fee.

  5. I saw some of them around and the last time I asked someone about theirs they all told me the same thing. It doesn't really work as well as a phone. It has poor desktop real estate and what they really need at a minimum is a phone/phablet.

  6. clueless adults on Grieving Father is Begging Apple to Unlock His Dead Son's iPhone (mirror.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry but if something happened to my son or my daughter I would just do a password reset on the device. Why can't he? Did he not know the iTunes account it was linked to. Did he never do that. I know he is grieving but its still his responsibility not apples to properly set up a child's device.

  20. Refresh my memory on PhantomSquad Hackers Begin Their Xmas DDoS Attacks By Taking Down EA Servers (softpedia.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Whats the goal? Is to just be pricks?

  21. Every time I've contacted one of these companies about payment to deliver those copyright messages to our customers they are refused or hung up the phone. It cost money to roll a truck or to have a CSR call the accused customer. These guys basically expect a ISP to be their process sever in their civil suit for free. Its been a lose-lose situation for everyone but them. I think COX would be better off to start billing them for every truck roll and put these shysters on the defensive.

    Along another line of reasoning. Does this open a telco up to lawsuit for not taking action against fraudulent scams taking place on their network?

    That is the dream of any manufacturer that they sell you something you never own. You can use it but heaven forbid you talk about it.

    They are hocking their latest fair onto machines that are better off with the older operating system. Windows 10 doesn't offer any more functionality than windows 7 or 8.1. I don't need some crappy talking clippy to search for things for me. I don't need it, period.
