  1. Trust the Computer. The Computer is your friend. on Microsoft Tip Leads To Child Porn Arrest In Pennsylvania · · Score: 1

    It's For The Children!

  2. Verizon throttles Netflix too on Verizon Throttles Data To "Provide Incentive To Limit Usage" · · Score: 1

    I have to use a VPN in order to get reasonable Netflix performance on my DSL line. WTF Verizon?

  3. Must be nice to have free money on Ask Slashdot: Good Technology Conferences To Attend? · · Score: 1

    and work for a "nonprofit". Corporate IT budgets have dried up for this sort of fluff long ago. Good for you landing a job where there's free taxpayer money.

  4. If you know you need a NAS, why buy it? on Synolocker 0-Day Ransomware Puts NAS Files At Risk · · Score: 0

    There's plenty of free options out there, if you really need that much storage, you need to care how it works and how well.

  5. Fappity fap! on SpaceX Chooses Texas Site For Private Spaceport · · Score: -1, Troll

    2nd Elon Musk post in a single day!? I can hardly contain myself!

  6. Good thing this got greenlighted on Tesla's Already Shopping For More Office Space · · Score: 2, Funny

    I was worried that I'd miss my daily dose of Musk.

  7. Re:Because The Children on Critics To FTC: Why Do You Hate In-App Purchasing Freedom? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Consider the concept of "socialism", then consider those who self-describe as "conservative", and you will have the answer to the apparent contradiction.

  8. We need a Pi category so I can ignore it on Recipe For Building a Cheap Raspberry Pi Honeypot Network · · Score: 0

    That, and Elon Musk are the two most masturbatory topics on Slashdot these days.

  9. Because The Children on Critics To FTC: Why Do You Hate In-App Purchasing Freedom? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    In the 21st century, people are screaming for the government to regulate their lives in order to protect them, to provide "security", and to "make people feel safe". It's the fag end of the smoldering socialist experiment. Sadly, America's just getting on the end of the demographic tidal wave which will make this impossible, so the golden years where everything is perfect are going to seem really short.

  10. Re:Until Google comes clean on Google+ Photos To Be Separated From Google+ · · Score: 0

    Unlike any other social media site, right?

  11. GUI = fail on Comparison: Linux Text Editors · · Score: 1

    When you're SSHd into a *BSD based firewall in China, you can't just bring up some fancy autocompleting GUI editor. You'll get vi (not vim!) and like it.

  12. Daily fap on Elon Musk Promises 100,000 Electric Cars Per Year · · Score: -1, Troll

    Thank goodness, I was worried I wouldn't get my daily Elon Musk story from Memedot.

  13. Re:20 megawatts on Inside BitFury's 20 Megawatt Bitcoin Mine · · Score: 0, Troll

    They're not wasting, they're buying power. Also, whether or not the town is small is irrelevant, unless you're trolling.

  14. Won't be seeing it on The Hobbit: the Battle of Five Armies Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    I'm not going to watch "Tauriel" or the Dwarves split into 2 parties, or the "black arrow" nonsense, or how Bard is really like Robin Hood.

    The first movie was a stretch, the second was bullshit.

  15. Re:For domestic use only on Senate Bill Would Ban Most Bulk Surveillance · · Score: 2

    Maybe your own spy agencies need to man up.

  16. It takes a village, but all cultures are equal on Smoking Mothers May Alter the DNA of Their Children · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I'm torn on this one. On 1 hand, anything a mother does has to be right by default, and all cultures and belief systems are equally valid, and feelings trump cold hard facts, but this seems pretty damning. How is a 21st century white guy supposed to react to this completely obvious news? Where do I focus my outrage?

  17. Slashvertisement for HBO? on A Fictional Compression Metric Moves Into the Real World · · Score: 2

    Given that only a subset of Slashdot users are HBO subscribers, how is this relevant?

  18. Uneducated, lazy consumers on The Misleading Fliers Comcast Used To Kill Off a Local Internet Competitor · · Score: 3, Insightful

    People didn't look, or think, they just reacted from their gut. Sounds like perfectly trained American voters/consumers.

    Who's the villain here?

  19. Keep a master list on New SSL Server Rules Go Into Effect Nov. 1 · · Score: 1

    Of hosts, we could even call the file 'hosts'. Then, periodically, you pull a copy from the master to have locally. Simply set up a governing body to arbitrate name clashes (like 'mailserver') and you're good to go!

  20. Google's off the reservation on Google Looking To Define a Healthy Human · · Score: 1

    They can't do everything, which is going to lead them to doing a lot of things suckily.

    How do they actually make money to keep those bazillions of servers running? Does anyone ever actually click on those ads?

  21. Re:Sad on Wikipedia Blocks 'Disruptive' Edits From US Congress · · Score: 0

    It started when it became ok to simply "hate" GWB. You never needed a reason.

  22. Re:Not on human timescales on Comet To Make Close Call With Mars · · Score: 1

    How are you going to create the atmosphere ON a human timescale?

  23. Re:But what IS the point they're making? on Earth In the Midst of Sixth Mass Extinction: the 'Anthropocene Defaunation' · · Score: 1

    That's the sound of you missing the point. TFS goes into great detail about facts of whats happened, then says "which makes the point" - but it never MAKES the point. It's just a groupthink argument that everyone must somehow naturally arrive at the same conclusion.

  24. But what IS the point they're making? on Earth In the Midst of Sixth Mass Extinction: the 'Anthropocene Defaunation' · · Score: 0, Troll

    "Don't build anything, ever, and don't eat any animals, ever" ?

  25. Re:Too bad this didn't happen in 50 years on Comet To Make Close Call With Mars · · Score: 3, Informative

    Too bad the solar wind will ionize and rip away any atmosphere that accumulates due to 1000s of comet impacts. Mars has no deflector shield like Earth has.
