  1. Re:Give it a break slashdot on Trump Will Get Power To Send Unblockable Mass Text Messages To All Americans (nymag.com) · · Score: 1

    We don't have nearly enough Trump news on slashdot now as it is. Why the discouraging tone?

  2. Re:guessing game on PC Market Shows Signs of Recovery (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    The last few years are moving from a New OS/New Processor series driven cycle to things just getting really old. Let's suppose lots of people bought new machines when i5 and i7 came out those machines are now 6 or 7 years old.

  5. Re:At least Trump may actually do some good on EPA Increases Amount of Renewable Fuel To Be Blended Into Gasoline (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    What if you were born a couple years ago in Flint Michigan? While the EPA is trying to go after carbon emissions and push pork programs like Ethanol poor people are getting lead tainted water. EPA really could use a sea change in priorities.....

  6. Re:I actually think Hilary does care on Online Pranksters Mock Trump's $149 Christmas Ornament, Rename Trump Tower on Google Maps (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    Trying? She announced her candidacy on TV sitting on a couch. She was not trying very hard....

    because rounding corners doesn't go nearly far enough

  8. Transactions are too complex on Buying Stuff On Your Phone Still Sucks (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    People buying on the web want to look at pictures, read reviews, do research, price compare, as well as read shipping and transaction fine print etc. You can't (or at least don't want to) do this on a phone.

  9. We have a county here the size of New Jersey if that helps.

  10. The whole pentagon is not a SCIF. These are special rooms with controlled entry.

  11. He said he would wait and see. Why would he give up his legal right to contest the vote ahead of time? Gore didn't either.

  12. Re:You Trump voters have been played on Trump Admits 'Some Connectivity' Between Climate Change and Human Activity (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    ...and?

    He said he is considering "how much it will cost our companies" and the effect on American competitiveness in the global market, according to a tweet from Grynbaum.

    Yeah he's being sensible. What a boob!

  14. Re:Perfect Proof of Concept on Tesla Runs an Entire Island on Solar Power (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe he cherry-picked a scenario where his products are actually profitable?

    a political honey badger?

  16. Re:Doesn't this describe almost every job? on Slashdot Asks: Are You Ashamed of Your Code? (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    That's silly. Should the assembly line workers that made the pinto be ashamed? Nobody sees them.

    who is going to take the clothes out of the dryer?

  20. Re:Finalize with a dealer, screw that on Amazon Now Sells Cars (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Amazon is no better. Ever try to get shipping on a small, common book that is less than a week? Maybe a car dealer is working in the shipping department.

  21. Re:We have different definitions of cheap on When a City Has Gigabit Internet, Prices For Slower Speed Tiers Drop: Study (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't care about 'low income' access. I pay 45$ a month for 3.5mbs and it's too damn much. Just because you can afford something doesn't mean you should get bilked.

  22. A less conspiracy minded interpretation is that they just didn't do the extra programming to take advantage of the new features.

  23. It's like comparing poisons. One makes you sick and kills you quickly and the other has no symptoms and you die without realizing you have been poisoned. Which is more dangerous?

  24. Translation on President Obama On Fake News Problem: 'We Won't Know What To Fight For' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You should only be reading *our* fake news.

    It appears that the girls family is paying for it... I assumed that the father was getting saddled somehow with the cost. That's what I get for not RTFA.....
