  1. Yeah. Parent lumping in lottery people with casino people is kinda numb. Shows a lack of nuanced thinking if you can't tease those two apart. Lots of differences.

  2. We worked out a system that regularly won.

    Oh cool. It regularly lost too.

  3. If the situation is as you describe it's absurd that they haven't been arrested. It's about as clear-cut as fraud gets.

  4. The money they take in from the lotteries means they don't need to take it from everyone in taxes. I like people who play the lottery.

    lol really?

    How much did they reduce your last tax bill based on people playing the lottery?

  5. Millions of people play the lottery, thinking "somebody has to win!" while completely ignoring the fact that the lottery companies make huge profits.

    Casinos are a good example of how we are stupid. Lottery not so much. Lottery is low risk, low stake. Not many people go broke playing the lottery. Casinos, on the other hand.... Jesus.

  6. Charisma is essentially a form of deception. We all fall for deception at one point or another.

  7. Unless corrupt politicians, lobbyists, and cable company wankers all decide that cities should be able to build their own networks, cities won't be building their own networks. What "Americans" think is only tangentially related.

    This guy seems to think the 'smart' thing to do is pack up your stuff and head for the hills/get in a bunker without confirming what, if anything, is happening.

    In case you somehow got the impression that you're the only person who thought connecting everything ever to the internet was/is a bad idea, let me reassure you that you're not, and I don't think you ever were.

    Personally, I find it implausible that Assad ordered a chemical attack now.

    Looks like you're getting rid of your computer. Because you saw an article on slashdot that you didn't like. And then you commented on.

    Stability Putin-style comes from establishing a de-facto monarchy and wrapping the cowardly russians in ever-increasing layers of obfuscation and propaganda. "stability" indeed.

    This is going to be both difficult to understand and accept. So brace yourself.

    No one gives a fuck if you like the article. So shut up, and fuck off.

    it was repaired using unauthorized parts of unknown quality and suitability that turned out to be incompatible with an OS upgrade they knew was bound to happen.

    I see what you're doing there. Maybe you should work in Apple's PR or something.

    You make it sound obvious that they should know an update would brick the device, for having 'unauthorised' parts. Not so.
