  1. I do data recovery, I guess I can take the Apple logo off my window.

    I don't mind dealing with illegal immigration, as long as you do it intelligently. But this is a administration that wants to register every member of a specific religion in some national database, a slap in the face to one of our most basic freedoms.

  3. Re:Not at all surprising on Comcast Takes $70 Gigabit Offer Away From Cities Near Chicago (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Wait, if it HAS NO DATA CAP, then why do they charge and extra $50 for unlimited data?
    from the summary:
    "it came with unlimited data, which normally costs an extra $50 a month"

  4. When you plaster all over the front page that HRC has a 97% chance to win the White House, the only person you are going to hurt is Hillary, people will relax and figure it's in the bag so why bother voting.

  5. Re:Ha! CHINA can suck on my left tit! on China Threatens To Cut Sales of iPhones and US Cars if 'Naive' Trump Pursues Trade War (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you relish the day when no American products are sold in China (what the article is actually talking about)? When US profits tank due to the loss the world's largest market?

  6. And the loss of the worlds largest market wouldn't hurt US companies at all? The loss of billions in revenue wouldn't cause cutbacks or layoffs? This isn't about manufacturing, this would be blocking the Chinese market from US companies. No one would import American products into China because the tariffs would be too high.

  7. Considering 15% is considered amazing profits and is more then twice the average for all industries, I would say 35-40% is the definition of Famously High.

    Now for the bad news, Apple has never had 35 to 40% profits, 20 to 25% if you want to be generous. But that still fits the famously high mark.

  8. "Otherwise, rejoice in the fact that you can speak your mind without reservation!"

    Been seeing a lot of that recently and I am not too sure it's all that good for society, especially if its being scratched into cars and spray painted on buildings.

  9. How does the DMCA stop manufacturing from returning to the US. You really need to explain the logic of that claim. I could understand EPA regulations since electronics manufacturing can be dirty but I am not sure where copyright comes into it.

    This isn't a bandwidth issue, nothing is being downloaded, It takes a pretty dense worldview not to read the article you are posting on.

  12. And you know, States do not have the right to secede from the Union.

    Texas V White:

    "...the court further held that the Constitution did not permit states to unilaterally secede from the United States, and that the ordinances of secession, and all the acts of the legislatures within seceding states intended to give effect to such ordinances, were "absolutely null"."

  13. " When seconds count the police are half an hour away. "

    That's a statement not a question.

    "How shall the rights necessary for country living by city slickers who do not understand them and so want to tear them down for they perceive them dangerous?"
    Nope that bit does not make any sense. Grammatically it's a fucking mess.

  14. Not really. It came on in spurts and was embraced by many.

  15. I think our "time" problems would be far worse, as it would only be a matter of "time" until all life on our planet ceased to exist.

  16. Re:GODDAMNED DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME! on Slashdot Asks: Is It Time To Dump Time Zones In Favor of Coordinated Universal Time? (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    That's not quite true. It was made uniform across the states (for those that chose to). First implemented in 1918, repealed later that year though some states and cities continued to use it until 1945 when year round DST was implemented (called surprisingly enough War Time). Then in 1966 it expanded into a uniform time scheme though states could opt out.

    Not big on reading the summary are you?

    20% is a sizable percentage of a market. They would surely notice that loss.
