  1. Your parents made garbage offspring, and the world would be better off without them.

  2. Apple has never been first to market, with perhaps the Macintosh being the sole exception.

  3. Headline written by stupid shit on Astronomers Prove To Einstein That Stars Can Warp Light (theverge.com) · · Score: 3

    1) The term "prove to" implies that Einstein believed that such lensing doesn't happen.
    2) Einstein is dead, so no scientists are proving anything to him.

  4. If a lithium fire starts in a cargo hold, all those lovely suitcases full of cloth are going to burn. The entire plane will go down with a big, roaring fire in the entire underbelly of the aircraft.

  5. Ben Yelin should be tortured to death on TSA May Recommend Stowing Laptops In Cargo For US Domestic Flights (cbslocal.com) · · Score: 1

    "Airplanes have been the common threat that we've seen over the past several years."

    This is factually incorrect. Motor vehicles have been the common threat we've seen. Israel has ramming attacks on an almost weekly (for a good stretch it was daily) basis. We have Paris and now London. What kind of fucked-up shit wad thinks airplanes are the vehicle of choice for terrorists?

  6. Re:Yes, He Can Do That on Slashdot Asks: Is Trump's Blocking of Some Twitter Users Unconstitutional? (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    No user has been blocked. There is no facility for doing so. Only accounts have been blocked.

    A blocked user can still twit all he wants. He just won't be seen by the blocker. And there's no right to be heard.

  8. Re:Yes, He Can Do That on Slashdot Asks: Is Trump's Blocking of Some Twitter Users Unconstitutional? (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Blocking an account does not block the person. Unless Twitter somehow manages to enforce a one-account-per-person rule.

  9. Yes, you do. And the campaigner is allowed to wear ear plugs.

  10. You are a retarded shit. Assault is assault, no matter the reason and no matter the perpetrator. Your ridiculous example is not a Free Speech issue, either.

  11. It's like saying that if you send a letter to your local newspaper care of your local representative, the representative is allowed to burn the letter without reading it. Furthermore, he can instruct the mail handler at the newspaper to do that for him.

    Oh look, that's perfectly legal, because elected official or not, he doesn't have to read your god-dammed letter.

  12. Do you need a brain transplant in order to have the ability to think? Yes. Sucks for you, I guess. Actually, sucks for the poor soul who has to feed you.

  13. Is abject stupidity worthy of the death sentence? Sadly, no.

  14. And what (legal) right would that be, exactly?

  15. I eagerly await the news that you've been ripped apart by wild dogs and your body parts strewn across your parents' front yard.

    Everyone should look forward to something, right?

  16. Anyone banned is free to create a new Twitter account and subscribe. No speech is being blocked, only one particular channel.

    Trump is a lot of bad things, but he still has rights. And one of those rights is the right to use Twitter's block feature.

  17. Filtering refers to the speaker, not the listener. The tweets are unfiltered. The listeners are irrelevant.

  18. There have been many instances of reporters asked not to come back, or being barred from later attendance. There is no Constitutional right to attend a press conference just because you've done so in the past.

    Also, Free Speech is about the speaker, not the listener.

  19. Preventing someone from hearing you speak is not an abridgment of anyone's right to speech. Freedom of Speech is about the speaker, not the listener.

  20. Re:how 25 versus 15 percent is six times more like on Why Women Devs Are Hard To Recruit and Even Harder To Keep (windowsitpro.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Who says it isn't? Remember, discriminating against (white) males is always OK.

  21. Re:Some numbers from Geico on US Insurer Hikes Tesla Premiums Due To 'Higher-Than-Average' Claim Rates (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Insurance rates are based on statistics. If a particular model tends to be involved in expensive accidents, it will have a higher rate, even if the car itself is junk. The statistics don't care why such cars are accident-prone or why they are expensive to repair.

  22. Re:So much for free speech on Harvard Pulls Student Offers Over Online Comments (go.com) · · Score: 1

    Not that Universities welcome free speech, but this story is not an example of that phenomenon. These were prospective students, not actual students. Wait for the story of Harvard expelling actual students for the same.

  23. Re:Harvard indoctrinates rather than educates. on Harvard Pulls Student Offers Over Online Comments (go.com) · · Score: 0

    I can tell by your inability to understand the summary that you would never be accepted to Harvard. Or even your local community college.

  24. Re:Thoughtcriminals on Harvard Pulls Student Offers Over Online Comments (go.com) · · Score: 0

    If not getting into Harvard ruined their life chances, their chances were so slim so as to make no difference. Really, if this bothers them, they should rape their anuses with rusty forks and gargle bleach.

  25. Re:Seems reasonable. on Harvard Pulls Student Offers Over Online Comments (go.com) · · Score: 0

    Doesn't matter. Harvard is not censoring in any way, shape or form by not accepting prospective students who prove to be assholes. They are still free to be assholes.
