  1. And what incentive does Slashdot get for this provision? Rhetorical question, okay?

  2. Yeah really, man! Anybody got 50 cents?

  3. ?

    The only reason to buy steel from China is if it's cheaper than other sources. Their domestic market or tariffs are irrelevant if you buy from somebody else, say, the US.

    Or is the Honda factory in China?

  4. So completely ass backwards on Vulnerability Exploitable Via Printer Protocols Affects All Windows Versions (softpedia.com) · · Score: 2

    Drivers belong on the printer, not the damn computer. Who dreamed up this shit?

  5. Yeah, but unlike the heavy stuff, steel is pretty easy to get from other sources. Right now China's is cheaper, it only makes sense to buy it from there.

    Watch the birdie... *click*

  7. Re:Easier said than done on How Technology Disrupted the Truth (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    We are dealing with very basic animal psychology. Society pretty much operates from the brain stem. The cortex serves to rationalize it.

    Nat Geo said it best in their March 2005 issue: "The mind is what the brain does."

  8. Re:Fuck quality; we need balanced comments. on Linus Torvalds In Sweary Rant About Punctuation In Kernel Comments (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    we need balanced comments.

    They must also be fair.

    Given his reaction to these kind of things, we should have some fun with it. Throw in a few extra typos, some smileys, words in different languages, whatever gets him to write about it..

    Look at the bright side, the weatherman is even worse...

    I can only regret that everybody takes my more facetious comments so seriously.

    Ah well, I guess you didn't get it... Sorry

    But yeah, when I want the latest local gossip, I get it from my neighbors.. The second best place is the bar, where I can talk to strangers.

    If I want to find out whats going on around me I go outside or talk to my neighbor.

    He works for The Sun?

    Never ever believe anything you hear... and only half of what you see.

    If mass media wasn't such an obvious propaganda machine, there might have been a modicum of trust, and social media could easily be blown off. But now, with all the censorship of war coverage (for example), and shared wire service that only recite government press releases, there is nowhere else to turn.

  14. Re: NUKE ORACLE on Oracle Asks Judge To Throw Out Java/Google Verdict...Again (siliconvalley.com) · · Score: 1

    It's a show. Who doesn't act differently when the cameras are on? Afterwards, they are off to the dinner party with the wives. Does anybody really believe in this faux antipathy?

  15. Re:What if. . . on PSA: Pokemon Go Has Full Access To Your Google Account Data (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, In my case, I do seem to be able to decide for myself which account my mail goes out. If the app doesn't send from the address that was registered on installation, maybe that's where the lawyers come in. But something tells me that you give permission when installing the app. If enough people deny it, the developers might react. I still see the problem as self inflicted.

  16. Slow growth? on PC Shipments Return To Growth In the US (theverge.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Nothing a batch of cheap capacitors can't fix..

  17. Re:Uh huh.... on Google To Train 2 Million Indian Android Developers (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    So much for white privilege.

    Oh really? Maybe you should check who owns the land and businesses that do the hiring...

  18. Re:There is a lot of truth to this on Google To Train 2 Million Indian Android Developers (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    It's cheaper in the long run to hire and keep American workers.

    Long run? To these people the longest term they can think of is three months.

  19. Re:What is this? on Pokemon Go Was Never Able To Read Your Email (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Slashdot had been forwarding a lot of false rumors over the last few weeks. It appears to be serving its purpose.

    you won't be able to use the app at all until you create a Google account.

    Right, so what's the problem? Make an account just for Pokemon and other spammers. People are getting excited for nothing.

  23. Re:All fun and games until your account gets stole on PSA: Pokemon Go Has Full Access To Your Google Account Data (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 0

    It's no big thing really. Just make up a burner account for spam like this, and make all payments with prepaid cards.

  24. Re:more gifts from the party of small government.. on Congress Is Trying To Expand The Patriot Act (rare.us) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "The bill's sponsor, Congressman Robert Pittenger (R-NC)..."

    It's a bipartisan thing. You should be happy!

  25. Very suspicious and doubtful on MIT Says Their Anonymity Network Is More Secure Than Tor (pcmag.com) · · Score: 1

    If it were truly effective, it would be "born secret" and not released to the public unless it is crippled.
