  1. PC Infestation on YouTube Strikes Now Being Used As Scammers' Extortion Tool (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    YouTube is turning into some sort of Wild West infested with political correctness.

  2. Re:Pill cam on Man Reports PillCam Stuck In His Gut For Over 12 Weeks · · Score: 1

    Aw, I guess that means one less hip Gastroenterologist who gets to feel cool at the expense of his patients. Sometimes, everyone's a loser it seems. ;(

  3. It's easy to cite a number on Man Reports PillCam Stuck In His Gut For Over 12 Weeks · · Score: 1

    If you believe that 1-3% approximation, then I've got a fine set of encyclopedias that are going to find a new owner. Do you take pharmaceutical enterprises any more at their word than deceitful software shops?

  4. In reserve on How WIRED lost $100,000 in Bitcoin (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't be so sure one of your sys admins won't manage to "find" it, WIRED.

  5. Re:Slashdot Obituaries on Atari Co-Founder Ted Dabney Dies at Age 81 (eurogamer.net) · · Score: 1

    Bad timing.

  6. Since conservatives are astounding polluters, I can already say that your metaphor makes very little sense.

  7. Bay Area tech employees won't be happy until the rest of the world is as sterile as they are.

  8. Re:Could get expensive on T-Mobile Bug Let Anyone See Any Customer's Account Details (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Europe(ans) could care less about what happens to the data of Americans in America.

  9. Re:RESTful APIs (sans RBAC) FTW on T-Mobile Bug Let Anyone See Any Customer's Account Details (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Hey, the reason the CEO makes that huge sum is that they are responsible for the company. If they want to pay a janitor 1mil per year, he can be held accountable too ;)

    Unfortunately for all of their customers, the ability to be informed (and thereby responsible) fails to come with the salary.

  10. Re: Thunderbird or AlPine on Slashdot Asks: Which Is Your Favorite Email Client? · · Score: 1

    At first I assumed you meant it could not tell if the recipient opened the email and read it, and I was thinking that's to be expected.

    Then I realized you probaly meant that it could not tell if you had read an email locally, which is quite sad, if true.

    Yes, locally. Sad, indeed.

  11. What's important is that the founders got rich from the investors' money.

  12. Maybe in China.

    The U.S is long headed in that direction already.

  13. Re:Thunderbird or AlPine on Slashdot Asks: Which Is Your Favorite Email Client? · · Score: 1

    Don't even mention Outlook. I have to suffer that at work. It can't even figure out if a mail has been read or not. Still, in the year 2018 for Godsakes!

    Mind you, Thunderbird has had trouble with that lately as well, but at least its behavior isn't so fundamentally flawed. It has less problems after years of neglect than Outlook with all the incompetence it has thrown at it.

  14. Re:What's the problem? on The Brazen Bootlegging of a Multibillion-Dollar Sports Network (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    "..perhaps they need to re-think their business model."

    Better known as never opposing an imperialist initiative conceived by the United States. Such are the consequences (at the moment) for a failure to abide.

  15. Orwellian on Wages Aren't the Only Reason Teachers Are Striking (axios.com) · · Score: 0

    What an Orwellian hell the U.S. is becoming. If it weren't for the great weather, what kind of social creature would live there outside of the oppressors?

  16. Re:Troll? on Wages Aren't the Only Reason Teachers Are Striking (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    I would guess that the Anonymous Coward with the interpretation skills of a 21st century American inner city resident is probably the troll.

    Oh yeah: Uh, his statement supports your opinion, mate.

  17. Re:Education is dangerous on Wages Aren't the Only Reason Teachers Are Striking (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    You're right, except when you use the word democracy, assuming you're referring to the United States in this century.

  18. Practice Makes Perfect on Researchers Develop Online Game That Teaches Players How To Spread Misinformation · · Score: 1

    Wow, if the kids could only practice long enough, they might become half as good at it as the mass media and U.S. government itself!

    I mean, how else are you going to cover up the pedophilia of your leading ranks and convince the public to risk vaccinating their own children, for nothing?

    Indoctrinate yourselves while you still can!

  19. It's still slimy behavior that is a reflection of the company.

    I got a Huawei phone as a gift in the past. That gave suffering enough to avoid Chinese electronic products like the plague for decades to come.

  20. And then there is true paranoia steered by feminist nihilism...

  21. Re:Facebook confirmed for CREEPY AS FUCK on Health Secretary Hits Out at Facebook's New App, Says 'Stay Away From My Kids' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure I would go half THAT far...

  22. If you don't know how little toilet paper a corporate promise is worth in this century, you just haven't been living.

  23. Fortunately, God had a clue where semicolons and, ahem, even commas might belong...

  24. Re: OK so riddle me this: on Elon Musk's 'Scientific Method' (rollingstone.com) · · Score: 1

    Tech drives down costs.

    Not when it is completely lacking in practicality.

  25. Re: OK so riddle me this: on Elon Musk's 'Scientific Method' (rollingstone.com) · · Score: 1

    And the government is riddled with morons, especially in the modern day.
