    I think you mean a nearly identical new party that can continue the same bad policy while blaming the other identical old party.

    It's too complicated, there's too many choices. just tell me what I want to hear when I want to hear it and I'll be happy. Ohh but you can't learn anything about me with your intrusive spyware and snooping.

  3. Re:You assume there is a problem on Ask Slashdot: How Can Technology Improve the Judicial System? · · Score: 2

    I think for the most part you have that backwards. If you have money the system takes it from you, if you don't have money it will take your time from you.

  4. Re:It is not about technology on Ask Slashdot: How Can Technology Improve the Judicial System? · · Score: 1

    How about an amendment that says "No law can be passed that can't be fully understood and explained by any random High School graduate in less than 45 minutes."

    Then you might get a nice side effect of wanting to increase education at the pre-college level.

    You know, you can be pro vaccination, yet anti government forcing what ever chemicals they deem mandatory into you. I could be called pro-choice. but that term is already taken.

  13. Re:better idea on Report: Samsung Replacing Its Apps With Microsoft's For Galaxy S6 · · Score: 1

    What makes those apps special and not the 10,000 other pre-installed crapware they put on phones. I don't even mind the pre-installed part, but make them so I can remove them from the phone with no trace they were there. and give me the option to wipe to bare os with no apps if that is what I want.

    It's quite simple. Give them the choice, but with freedom comes responsibility. They are now responsible for any measles outbreaks or other diseases they spread as conspiracy to commit murder or spread biological weapons.

  19. Re:FAA could only *limit* US launched rockets on FAA Could Extend Property Rights On the Moon Through Regulation · · Score: 1

    I find it funny, we finally have territory that isn't already occupied and we're fighting over not being able to claim it. I'm sure if there were native mooninites we'd already be slaughtering, enslaving, and sending them gift blankets just like every other territory ever inhabited by modern humans.

    I guess we has humans can't have something unless it is taken away from someone else.

    Just because there are 3-4 naysayers doesn't mean systemd isn't the best thing possible for Linux. It really is the one and only thing that Linux has been missing for more than 20 years. Now that we have an all encompassing boot process we can do away with all the other crap sold under the guise of "choice" and settle on a single system that works all the time and does everything you should want to do.

  22. Re:Don't let perfection be the enemy of good enoug on Test Shows Big Data Text Analysis Inconsistent, Inaccurate · · Score: 1

    What big data brings to the table is you can find that "A" is strongly correlated with "B" and have not even an inkling as to why.

    If you scan all medical and personal records throughout history and find that everyone that owns a yellow Camero (no matter what year) at some point in their life comes down with liver cancer at 45. Sure you can make up reasons all you want but if there is no other correlation in the data, do you just ignore it? What if it's just 90% of the Camero owners? even 50% or 20% would still be a significant correlation to start asking about car ownership history.

    The timing of these techs is really going to put me as the ~2050 headline "ArsonSmith 85ish, Last man to have to die of natural causes" Who am I kidding, If I make it to 2040 It'll be from some marvelous breakthrough.
