  1. Apple could fund a 100 lawyers for a 100 years out of petty cash. Multiple fronts isn't going to overwhelm Apple's legal team.

  2. Re:Aircraft with four 9s reliability is bad on Chinese Carriers, Ethiopian Airlines Halt Use of Boeing 737 MAX 8 Aircraft After Crash (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    No. A crashing plane is having no trouble descending.

  3. Have you ever been in a hospital with more doctors than patients? I haven't.

  4. Re:Thank god you're not a doctor, Roger idiot. on A Doctor Remotely Told A Patient He Was Going To Die Using A Video-Link Robot (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not even that. The guy died. This is his relatives complaining, not the patient.

  5. Re:Good replacement for Firewire then on Thunderbolt Vulnerabilities Leave Computers Wide-Open, Researchers Find (itnews.com.au) · · Score: 1

    I think it's macOS 10.12.4 that was released in 2016.

  6. Re: Tax is for the little people on New York Mayor Says Amazon Headquarters Debacle Was 'an Abuse of Corporate Power' (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    It is illegal, but not immoral or ethical, to rip your face off and stuff it up your ass.

  7. Government mandated censorship on House Bill Requires Pornography Filter on All Phones, Computers Purchased in Kansas (cjonline.com) · · Score: 1

    How would this not be a 1st amendment violation?

  8. Re: No Bill... on Bill and Melinda Gates: Textbooks Are Becoming Obsolete · · Score: 1

    I wish I could drop a textbook down the stairs and end up with an iPad Pro!

  9. Apple doesn't police enterprise apps on Apple Fails To Block Porn and Gambling 'Enterprise' Apps (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    I've worked for a company that uses an enterprise account for internal testing. Apps signed with enterprise profiles are never seen by Apple.

  10. Re:This is what happens when you cut fed funding on Hundreds Rally For Their Right To Not Vaccinate Their Children (msn.com) · · Score: 1

    Anti-vaxx disease is most prevalent amongst well-educated, highly-paid Whites. This is not an education problem that money can fix.

  11. Re:Call CPS on Hundreds Rally For Their Right To Not Vaccinate Their Children (msn.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm not worried. Just bummed that I can't blow your face off with a shotgun for being a fucking moron.

  12. Re:Other Religious Exemptions on Hundreds Rally For Their Right To Not Vaccinate Their Children (msn.com) · · Score: 1

    You are illiterate and a moron. Seriously, the AC wasn't that difficult to follow, and what he said accords with my understanding as well. Most exemptions in law are based on religious freedom, and that implies that some people consider it a religious issue.

  13. Re:Fun while it lasted on Google Criticized Over Its Handling of the End of Google+ (vortex.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't think you should be apologizing for slashdot's inability to handle a 20+ year old standard.

  14. Not a NN violation on Will BitTorrent's Paid 'Fast Lane' Violate 'Net Neutrality'? (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    There's no problem with charging more for faster access. The problem is that carriers want to charge both their customers and the businesses whose data they provide to their customers to move the same set of bits.

    It sounds like BT is doing the opposite. They will be paying the providers and charging the consumers.

  15. Shooting the messenger? on Grindr Harassment Victim Asks: Are Tech Companies Immune From Product Liablity Laws? (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The Internet is global, and any platform built on it is going to reach millions, if not billions, of people. If we pass laws that require companies to police their users, we will simply lose the platforms. Whatever happened to personal responsibility and liability? Why aren't the harassers arrested and charged? Why is Grindr the villain in this suit?

    (I know there are people here who would love to see the more popular platforms disappear, but that's just petty jealousy and elitism talking.)

  16. Re:Speak a language they can understand on Anti-Tesla Pickup Truck Drivers Take Over a Supercharger Station -- Again (electrek.co) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They aren't protesting anything. They are just being jackasses. I think the pickups should be crushed into little cubes. It would not particularly upset me if the owners were inside during the operation.

  17. Jacks on Dev vs. Ops: The State of Accountability (overops.com) · · Score: 1

    DevOps typifies the phrase "jack-of-all-trades, master of none". This is a trend I've started to see where I work. A push to get everyone at least a little knowledgeable about everything, so anyone can fill in for anyone else. The idea that specialized skills allow a good team to be more efficient and productive is mostly lost on my coworkers.

  18. Re:Lies, damn lies, and statistics. on A Woman on Twitter is Abused Every 30 Seconds (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Why does it have to be fixed? Are you going to just eliminate people who post abusive tweets? Because being "abusive" in this fashion has been a human trait since communication was invented.

  19. It's not the phone that's broken. Slashdot is stuck in 1991.

  20. Goodbye Debian on Debian's Anti-Harassment Team Is Removing A Package Over Its Name (phoronix.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I've been running Debian on a hosted virtual machine for the past 15 years or so. I guess it's time to find a new distribution. I don't use Weboob, but I'm not going to support an organization that has given in to terrorists.

  21. How secret were they? on Mapping Service Blurs Out Military Bases, But Accidentally Locates Secret Ones · · Score: 1

    I can't imagine any intelligence agency on the planet was ignorant of the same information that Yandex had to blur their maps.

  22. US Law is only worth tissue paper outside the US.

    The article is proof you are incorrect.

    These sanctions are not good in international law as they are not UN sanctioned and in fact are contrary to the UN treaty with Iran

    Sanctions need not be agreed upon by the UN to be legal. The UN does not negotiate treaties with sovereign nations.

  23. I have a Mitsubishi Attrage (company lease car), and it won't lock if the fob is inside the car.

  24. Re:5G rollout will take years on Apple Will Wait Until at Least 2020 To Release a 5G iPhone: Report (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    The first iPhone didn't support 3g. Other than USB, Apple pretty much lags behind on new technology uptakes.

  25. Re:5G rollout will take years on Apple Will Wait Until at Least 2020 To Release a 5G iPhone: Report (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm pretty sure you are alone, else you wouldn't need your own tower!
