  1. Re:Take back Slashdot on Slashdot and SourceForge Sold, Now Under New Management (bizx.info) · · Score: 1

    And to make it perfectly fucking clear how fucked you are: you actually cited Breitbart on the Hugo Awards. As long as you pull that shit, you will struggle.

    Dude, as long the mangy buzzard is an influential member of your team, you're fucked. Anyone not wanting his Breitbart-level kookery will eventually leave your site.

    I'd say that the time to start worrying about the forced diversity is when we've finally gotten rid of the most rampant misogyny.

    You want a rightwing echo chamber, fuck off to Soylent.

    Frankly, I'm glad of the sizeable nutter contingent here. It makes me appreciate the few sane conservatives more.

    Fuck that shit. Do you see that tagline there? "News for Nerds"; if you can't handle about 8 HTML elements, and you really must have BBCode, then fuck off back to your scr!pt k!dd13 boards.

    I liked it. Bennet's rambling and the ranting in the comments took me back to fond memories of Jon Katz articles. Comedy gold.

    Yeah, but on the other hand it took SN only a few months to completely degrade into Breitbart-level rightwing kookery.

    Ok, ok, that's hyperbolic, but it's a lot worse than Slashdot. Here at least there is a sizable contingent of people still willing to challenge the reactionary rhetoric.

  8. Re:Manufacturing costs also fall on Tim Cook: What's Good For the US Dollar Is Bad For Apple · · Score: 1

    There's a name for that: The cost of doing business.

    If Apple doesn't want the risks, they can dissolve the company and pay out a megadividend to the stockholders. As long as you are active in international business, valuta risks are part of the game.

    It's the typical whining of the modern Wall Street Wellfare Queen: they want all the profit, and society to bear the risk.

    And MSR's finally also provide everyone with a pony.

    We've all heard this before. 60 years ago people said the exact same thing about LWRs and PWRs. Frankly, the nuclear industry has promised the moon so many times before, and failed us so many times on an organisational level, that they have not a lot of credibility left.

    Get the government out of schools.

    Somehow I feel you will miss the irony of your post.

  11. So tell me, are you in favour of abolishing the laws against libel and slander? Would it be okay if I were to put up a site alleging you are a paedophile? It's only words, isn't it?

  12. Utter fucking bullshit. Without the words, there is no action to take.

    And if had said, in the days of DADT, that I spotted Lietenant Smith in a gay bar, I would have killed his career.

    Speech is action, and it can certainly hurt. Only idiots and teenagers living in their mom's basements believe otherwise.

  13. Now that's an example of complete fucking illiteracy.

  14. Words do not harm, and have never caused harm

    Try telling that to those who were denounced to the secret police in totalitarian states. Oh wait, most of those people died.

    tl;dr: Fuck you and your libertard ranting.

    Another person who thinks that everyone must pay the price in loss of freedom because of the hazards imposed by a few.

    Well yes. That's what a society is. You don't like, you can go live on a mountaintop as a hermit somehwere; in the meantime you will have to give up some freedoms so that other people may enjoy theirs. Got a problem with that? Tough shit.
