  1. History repeating itself on Wells Fargo Sued Again For Misbilling Car Owners And Veterans (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    And, just like last time, Fargo is going to claim that since the victims are existing customers, they've already signed a binding arbitration clause, which prevents them from joining class-action suits.
    These guys are a bigger bunch of mindless jerks than the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation.

  2. This is Slashdot on Lovers Share Colonies of Skin Microbes, Study Finds (metro.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    If you want to avoid another person's microbes, don't touch their keyboard or mouse.

  3. Idle speculation on US Army Calls Halt On Use of Chinese-Made Drones By DJI (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    We'll be reaching out to the U.S. Army to confirm the memo and to understand what is specifically meant by 'cyber vulnerabilities.' Until then, we ask everyone to refrain from undue speculation."

    I'm going to go ahead and speculate that if they don't know what 'cyber vulnerabilities' means, then they shouldn't be making drones.

  4. Re:Manufacturing Wiretapping devices? on The Kronos Indictment: Is it a Crime To Create and Sell Malware? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    By the ridiculous logic of this case, a (foreign national) knife maker could be charged as an "accessory to murder".

  5. If I was a creator of Adobe Flash, I'd be worried right now.

    Yeah, all them villagers at the gate with torches and pitchforks would make me nervous, too.

  6. So now British nationals can be charged for violations of NN U.S.C. x.y.z (technical/procedural "crimes") that occurred OUTSIDE U.S. jurisdiction? So when can we expect US bankers to go to jail for violating other countries banking laws?

  7. Re:doomed on CBS Delaying 'Star Trek: Discovery' To Maintain Quality (foxnews.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Exactly. The notion that we're all going to subscribe to tens of monthly streaming services at 12$ or so a pop (particularly just to watch a single exclusive series) is ludicrous. CBS was counting on this series to be their flagship for why you should subscribe to their service. The fact that the showrunner is now gone tells you that a) he quit because there was too much interference, or b) they fired him, thus proving there's too much interference.

  8. Re:Something new? on Hyperloop One's Full-Scale Pod Reaches 192 MPH In New Nevada Track Test (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    No, no, no. it's:

    NevadaTestTrack nevadaTestTrack = new NevadaTestTrack("Hyperloop One");

  9. Re:First LEP, then LHC, now Hyerloop on Hyperloop One's Full-Scale Pod Reaches 192 MPH In New Nevada Track Test (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    And his cars already go Ludicrous Speed! Meesa worried about Annie in Hyperloop One Full Scale pod.

  10. Re:Yes, for heaven's sake let's do something usefu on Senators Propose Bill Targeting Websites That Facilitate Sex Trafficking (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Uh, no. The Post Office receives ZERO "tax dollars". They only get what they make from postage. FedEx and UPS have the Post Office do last-mile delivery for them because it's CHEAPER (for them) that way.

  11. Re:Yes, for heaven's sake let's do something usefu on Senators Propose Bill Targeting Websites That Facilitate Sex Trafficking (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Then why oh why do FedEx and UPS use the Post Office for last-mile delivery so often? Hmmmm??

  12. Re:Bullshit much? on Luxembourg Just Passed A New Asteroid Mining Law (engadget.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Take a look at maritime law for plenty (~600 years) of examples. The whole notion of ship's registry or its flag state tells you where all this is going. Luxembourg is simply making a play to be the Liberia of the future space merchant fleet.

  13. Re:huuuuuge can of worms there on Petition Asks Adobe To Open-Source Flash To Preserve Internet History (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    My mom doesn't know how to code, so I think we're safe.

    As opposed to the average, run-of-the-mill Flash "programmer"?

  14. Already been closed on Systemd Named 'Lamest Vendor' At Pwnie Security Awards (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Marked NOTLAME, WONTACCEPT, closed.

    Also, lameness filter.

  15. Re: The future of rustlang is tied up with Mozilla on How Rust Can Replace C In Python Libraries (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    So you're saying a language that people find useful could persist without the company that created it continuing to exist? Huh. Never thought of that.

  16. Re:The future of rustlang is tied up with Mozilla on How Rust Can Replace C In Python Libraries (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Let's talk about Sun Microsystems...

  17. Re:It's not GMOs that people object to. on Scientists Genetically Engineer the World's First Blue Chrysanthemum (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 2

    Informed individuals don't have a problem with GMOs...

    I think I found the flaw in your logic. It applies to vaccines as well.

  18. Re:After consultation with "my Generals"... on Donald Trump Says US Military Will Not Allow Transgender People To Serve (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    The military is NOT the place to do social experimentation.

    Like desegregation, for example?

  19. Re:After consultation with "my Generals"... on Donald Trump Says US Military Will Not Allow Transgender People To Serve (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    Even Franklin Fucking Delano Roosevelt never had the balls to refer to them as "my Generals".

    LOL. Exactly.

    Bravo. Your PhD thesis in trolling has been accepted and forwarded to the accreditation committee.

    Because fallback kernels are for pussies, right?

  25. 3 (!!!) Standard deviations at 32 parts/trillion on The Proton Is Lighter Than We Thought (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That's just astonishing. Get the Nobel committee on the phone. It'll be interesting to see what tweaks to the Standard Model come about as a result of this -- one of its 72 unexplained empirical "constants" has suddenly been (drastically) updated.
