  1. Lt. Col. Obvious? on Tim Berners-Lee Urges Web Users: 'Care About Your Data' (marketwatch.com) · · Score: 1

    Of course people need to care.
    But they don't and they won't. Not so long as they get that Pavlovian response from a Like/RT/Share/Reply.

    Hell, we have scores here on ./, too.

  2. Re:SWauTistic Video Interview on Kansas Swatting Perpetrator 'SWauTistic' Interviewed on Twitter (krebsonsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    I can't be mad about it. Keem basically got a full videotaped confession out of the kid.

  3. Needs an asterisk. on A Case For Why Movie-Theater Experience Is Still Worth the Effort (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    Ed. Note: This list not valid in Aurora, Colorado.

  4. Re:Nostradamus reporting in on Google Uses Search To Push Its Products: WSJ (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    I never would have guessed an advertising company that branches out into creating goods and services would slant their advertising in favor of their advertised products.

  5. Uh... on Google Uses Search To Push Its Products: WSJ (usatoday.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So, which drawer of "No shit" should I file this under?

  6. Re: They will never learn on Microsoft Exec Admits They 'Went Too Far' With Aggressive Windows 10 Updates (softpedia.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When the Marketing Team is louder than the engineers, mostly.

  7. Nah. Sorry.

    People that have the Note 7 IED Edition have been duly warned about the issue for awhile now. If they didn't already make arrangements to use another device, even a cheapy burner, I'm not really going to be too bothered.

  8. What they should do is offer free rides from bars. That's where most of the voters will be.

  9. If anyone knows the difficulty of Email Ownership. on FBI: Review of New Emails Doesn't Change Conclusion on Clinton (cnn.com) · · Score: 1
  10. 100K on a Fireworks Show? on Intel Wants To Replace Fireworks With Drones (marketwatch.com) · · Score: 1

    Gee, can't imagine why some cities have empty coffers.

  11. Likely MS Idea Meeting Minutes on Microsoft Teams Launches To Take on Slack in the Workplace (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Hey, you know what hasn't been super over-complicated yet? Interoffice communications. How can we further fuck this up?"
    "Let's make a version of Slack, but integrate it with Skype even more!"
    "Brilliant!"

  12. 15 Second Explanation. on Prosecutors Say Contractor Stole 50 Terabytes of NSA Data (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    NSA: Well, we can't get Snowden, but it would sure be swell if we could get SOMEONE.
    Martin: *Waves* Hi! I'm still living in the States!
    NSA: Yes, you'll do nicely.

  13. Remember, folks... on The FBI Recommends Not To Indict Hillary Clinton For Email Misconduct (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    You can break any law when your last name is Clinton. Unless you're Roger Clinton.

    I suppose this is the FBI's way of ensuring their budget is increased after this election year.

  14. Screw all the drives! on A Lot of People Carelessly Plug In Random USB Drives Into Their Computers (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Blame the OS? Nope. I'll blame the Operator, not the Operating System.

  15. Re:Sugar is sugar... on Fruit Drinks Aren't Much Better For You Than Soda: Study (vox.com) · · Score: 0

    "WTF is wrong with America?"

    Republican Leadership.

    Don't forget the pure and undying hatred of the American people for anything "sciencey."

  16. Re:character assassination on Heavy Social Media Users Trapped In Endless Cycle of Depression (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    If you think that's bad, take a gander at Tumblr sometime.

  17. Re:Nothing to see here on Microsoft's 'Teen Girl' AI Experiment Becomes a 'Neo-Nazi Sex Robot' · · Score: 1

    I think it's just biding it's time as a new HK model droid...

  18. Re:The war on white space on Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey: the 140-Character Limit 'Is Staying' · · Score: 1

    I wish I could argue with this, but I cannot.

  19. It's 2016, and Yahoo still lives? on Yahoo To Fire Another 15% As Mayer Attempts To Hang On (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Mind you, this is the company that owns Tumblr. Logic has no place in their world.

  20. This just in... on Online Ad Czar Berates Adblockers As Freedom-Hating 'Mafia' (thestack.com) · · Score: 2

    "Moron says words and things that mean stuff and whatnot."
    Or
    "Advertisers hate things that prevent people from seeing advertisements."

  21. Re:What can I say? on LILO Bootloader Development To End · · Score: 1

    Get a room, faggot.

    I had no idea XBOX LIVE and /. were merging...

  22. Re: Well now Patrick will have to make a change on LILO Bootloader Development To End · · Score: 1

    This pun hurt. Oh, but it hurt so good...

  23. Re:Urgent: write your representative on The Coming Terrorist Threat From Autonomous Vehicles · · Score: 1

    And have these vehicles banned from your state

    I'm still working on the whole "get military-grade weapons and troop transports banned from podunk towns" petition. I just don't have the energy to get riled by something else just yet.

  24. Beware the Adam West! on The Coming Terrorist Threat From Autonomous Vehicles · · Score: 1

    Not gonna lie; the first thing that came to mind was the "Beware the Grey Ghost" episode of Batman: The Animated Series. And however many other times RC cars have been used to blow things up.

  25. Wrong line of work. on Ask Slashdot: Can a Felon Work In IT? · · Score: 1

    I'd imagine that if you're a felon, you'd have a fast-track in any MBA program.

    I keed, I keed.

    That said, I don't presume to know the laws, but I'd think you'd be better suited as part of a break-fix sort of shop. Never once in all my years was I ever asked about a criminal history or otherwise unsavory aspects of one's past. I have to support the suggestion of becoming a developer of some sort, since most of them are usually considered socially marginal, anyway.
