  1. I remember when... on Oculus Founder Palmer Luckey Is Secretly Funding Trump's Meme Machine (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When posts on /. were intelligent and the users replied with equal intelligence. Now it's no better than comment sections on any other website on the internet.

  2. Perhaps all new legislation on AT&T and Comcast Helped Elected Official Write Plan To Stall Google Fiber (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Should have to include a statement that the legislator wrote the legislation completely on their own without the assistance of any parties concerned in the legislation.
    There should be a stipulation that if they are found to be lying on the in the statement they have to spend 1 year in jail.

  4. So FB, a private company can't show what they want on Senate GOP Launches Inquiry Into Facebook's News Curation (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2

    If Facebook is a private non-governmental company what does it matter if they decide to do that to the news feed? No body pays for access to the site, so you get what you pay for. If you feel that you are not getting your fullest daily dose of insane right-wing news you can just go to Fox or Brietbart.

    Anonymous,

    I live in Frederick County too, I agree with everything you just posted 100%.

    I wish Billy and Shreve were gone, but I'm glad that Blaine Young got the non-starter award from the MD Atty General.

  6. Re:Obviously laughable, but ... on Lawmaker's Facebook Rant Threatens Media For "Unauthorized" Use of His Name · · Score: 1

    Maryland education is highly rated. However, Kirby didn't care because he knew he was destined for greatness living of the government teat doing contracts for the government and then later complaining like a typical R that we need to cut spending on 'non-essential' programs .. think of the tax payers!

  7. He's one of the guys I didn't vote for. on Lawmaker's Facebook Rant Threatens Media For "Unauthorized" Use of His Name · · Score: 1

    I live in Frederick County, MD.

    I actively spread the word in the last election that they should by no means vote for Kirby Delauter. The only thing he cares about is the size of his bank account.
    He's proved himself a hot head over the last 4 years he was a county commissioner, and has in no way changed since we changed to a charter government and he was elected as a county councilman.

  8. Re:Yeah right on AT&T To "Pause" Gigabit Internet Rollout Until Net Neutrality Is Settled · · Score: 2

    Exactly, total BS that only and I mean ONLY those who are bought and paid for by the big telecom lobbies and those who are completely stupid will fall for this.

  9. bad analogy on Canadian Police Recommend Ending Anonymity On the Internet · · Score: 1

    Driving a car is not like posting on the internet.

    Posting on the Internet is like talking to people in a large room.

  10. what's the point? on The Students Who Feel They Have the Right To Cheat · · Score: 1

    What's the point of going to college if you are just going to cheat on exams? Your degree is worthless at that point.
    Even if you do use that degree to get a job, you'll probably be fired not too long after, because you can't* cheat at work.

    *I'm sure you can in India.

  11. Re:Becuse it is small on Why the iPhone 6 Has the Same Base Memory As the iPhone 5 · · Score: 1

    My wife has a 16GB iPhone 5s.

    I upgraded her to iOS8 yesterday and she had 6GB of available space at that time. She hardly ever syncs her phone to clear off photos or video, and typically she streams music via Pandora or XM apps. Seems that 16GB is enough for her and probably a lot of 'regular users' like her.

    I'm sure Apple produced the new versions with storage options that reflect what the public has been buying.

  13. Re:Kind of see their point... on Ikea Sends IkeaHackers Blog a C&D Order · · Score: 1

    disclaimer http://www.ikeahackers.net/abo...

    "Are you paid by IKEA or is this an elaborate scheme by IKEA to make us buy more furniture?
    No, not a cent. Nil, nada, zilch. IKEA does not pay me nor is this site their idea or in any way sanctioned or endorsed by IKEA. This is purely a fan-run website.

    However, in the spirit of full disclosure, I do earn from advertising, mainly via Google Ads, SayMedia, Technorati ad networks and when readers support me by buying Amazon or Parts of Sweden products through my affiliate link. From time to time I may test out new forms of advertising but my goal is to always keep advertising as non-intrusive as possible."
