  1. Re: egalitarian? on Interviews: Ask Brianna Wu a Question · · Score: 1

    you clearly don't know what feminists actually do. For example, see the sexist divorce laws they support. Of course they CLAIM different.

  2. egalitarian? on Interviews: Ask Brianna Wu a Question · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Why are you a feminist instead of a egalitarian?

  3. question on Interviews: Ask Brianna Wu a Question · · Score: 1

    When are you going to admit the feminists lied about gamer gate and it wasn't a attack at all but a justified concern about corruption in gaming news?

  4. Artists are jerks on Can You Commit Copyright Infringement By Using Your Own Work? · · Score: 1

    modern "fine art" artists are jerks. In stead of learning how to make masterpieces they are all about attitude and crap. All modern art is just a drug deal game anyways, it's all about laundering money it now appears. What, did you really think some screaks of blue paint was worth 100 million to some Eastern euro people when the old masters don't fetch that much? Also I bunch of tax doges.

  5. Re:Banksters on Greece Is Running Out of Money, Cannot Make June IMF Repayment · · Score: 1

    no, wrong. Forget fines, the penalty should be real jail time for anyone involved AND any one overseeing anyone involved. Fines don't work because income in always hidden or delayed or moved around one way or another.

  6. "girls are interested in. They want to do things that matter." And boys don't? fuck you, I am tired of male hate everywhere. Be mad more we tend to just be better

  7. Re:Aren't these already compromised cards? on Fraud Rampant In Apple Pay · · Score: 1

    haha, I love sending assholes like you away. The card says "not vaild unless signed" for a reason. And we compare the sig to the one on the ID not the one on the paper to verify. Entitled middle class+ jerks that were born into silk sheets that never really had to work thinking you are above the rules and can expose me to liability then stand around and insult my employees.

  8. this is competely false on Fraud Rampant In Apple Pay · · Score: 1

    I have worked in several places in the back office and the merchant always took the loss when there was a question of fraud.

  9. The police ticket system is a dragnet on $56,000 Speeding Ticket Issued Under Finland's System of Fines Based On Income · · Score: 1

    Don't forget in the United States police force members routinely admit in YouTube lectures they mostly pull people over as a (illegal) dragnet. Hoping they will smell booze or spot a stolen radio or find someone with an outstanding warrant out. They could care less about you doing a rolling stop at a stopsign usually. This is part of the reason younger people get stopped more and why minorities get stopped more. A cop tells me they can trail anyone for 5 miles and find at least one legitimate reason to pull them. It's pure harassment. And if you don't do something like change lanes were it is technically illegal, they just make something up that is un-disprovable. Such as "you were driving a little erratic".

  10. The NSA can read your txts too on Yahoo Debuts End-To-End Encryption Email Plugin, Password-Free Logins · · Score: 1

    The NSA can read your txts too. If they get a copy of the email not hard to get a copy of the txt to decode, right?

  12. wireless charging mats are gimmicky anyways on Why Apple Won't Adopt a Wireless Charging Standard · · Score: 1

    wireless charging mats are gimmicky anyways.

    The device still has to be right on top of the mat, and they never work quite as well as wires. Like plugging in a cable is that much harder anyways. The mat still has to be plugged in so it's not like you can charge and walk around or anything.

  13. passions count. 'me too!' products suck anyways on Steve Jobs's Big Miss: TV · · Score: 1, Insightful

    TV is dead anyways. I am no fanboy but this makes me like Steve Jobs a little more. The fact that he liked some things and hated others gave the company a vision and gave him a passion. Google could learn from this instead of scattershotting with everything with 'me too products' that fail and just hurt the brand ( and waste money). TV in that era was especially bad, I can't stand people that like sitcoms. protip=friends, the big bang theory, and cheers are all the same show. A bad one.

  14. you are half right on Ask Slashdot: Why Does Science Appear To Be Getting Things Increasingly Wrong? · · Score: 1

    What you pointed out is a big problem, but don't pretend the way science is funded isn't broken. You have to publish to get jobs, and "massaging" the data to get better results is very common now. Plus in any field with money, there is distorting effects. I can't find the slashdot link, but there was a doctor that reigned from a major journal saying there was no independent evidence that statins helped at all and he felt he could no longer trust a lot of medical studies. Also don't forget all the important people in places like the FDA are future and or former corporate heads, and yes it effects their judgement.

  15. Pretty amazing but who stole all the colors? on Rendering a Frame of Deus Ex: Human Revolution · · Score: 1

    Pretty amazing, Really. But why does it still look worse then a modded eldersign? Now that is so impressing shit. Also, who stole all the colors? The death of PC gaming was herald by brown and tan in every game.

  16. Re:10x Programmers on Google Code Disables New Project Creation, Will Shut Down On January 25, 2016 · · Score: 1

    Google, with all their rockrstar 10x programmers and engineers fail yet again. What's the point of hiring "only the best" through a series of day long gruelling interview processes and obscure ego inflating (for the interviewers) exams - when all the software they write ends up in the trash. Their only good products are the search engine, .....

    I take it you haven't used Google search lately to find new(not ones you lost the address to) websites? It has gotten really sucky. The first two pages are sockpuppet websites for whatever company is trying to sell you something. Example: learning a new language. You sued to be able to find real specialty sites on the web. Not so much anymore.

  17. Re:Well intentioned, but misguided on Wikimedia Foundation Files Suit Against NSA and DOJ · · Score: 1

    shut down the NSA and we won't have contract required backdoors all over the place. So you could make your stuff more secure. Either we are all secure or no one is. The NSA makes EVEVYONE less safe. Other governments can't force limits on encryption and demand keys to the castles

  19. fuck no on Ask Slashdot: Should I Let My Kids Become American Citizens? · · Score: 1

    Don't abuse citizenship. Get citizenship where they grew up, Belgium. Citizenship should not be a choose your own adventure. They are not American by any stretch. Why not apply for UK citizenship while you are at it? UK offers better protection to private citizens and better colleges anyways. Oh, and get Easter island citizenship while you are at it in case they want to retire to an island paradise.

  23. Just name them anonymously on How Do You Handle the Discovery of a Web Site Disclosing Private Data? · · Score: 1

    Just name them anonymously, this is the only way executives move, bad press. Example, that time A UPS driver threw a TV over a fence. They guy had a video. At first they refused to pay to replace it, so he posted it to youtube and sent a copy to the 10 o'clock news. They paid up pretty fast. Their are tons of examples like this. You might think you are protecting people by hiding the bug, but you are not.

    A replaceable battery to to recharge when you are away from home. I bike to work and cannot charge at work as my phone needs to be on me or on the way there. I often spend 20 hours away from a charge. It's not about the battery wearing out, it's about double capacity without lunging around a spare charger. Also A SD card is awesome for it's usefulness in trip phones or carrying movies and music.
