  1. Re:Outsource jobs, blame AI, bring 3rd world on White House: US Needs a Stronger Social Safety Net To Help Workers Displaced by Robots (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    Why is this modded as interesting? This post is just right-wing flame bait. As if "democrats" are responsible for the globalization of the world's economy.

    Ahh, the pathetic level that Slashdot has descended to.

  2. Re:Slashdot is killing itself on Elon Musk and Uber CEO Travis Kalanick Will Advise Trump On Business Issues (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've given up on Slashdot because the lowering of the quality of the posts (the level of detail, precision and insight) is directly correlated to number of conservative dipsticks here on Slashdot. The constant denial of global warming. The defending of the pussy grabber in Chief. Pizzagate level bullshit is fairly common on slashdot.

    There's really little difference between slashdot and r/the_donald.

  3. Re:Now one trusts the mainstream media anymore on Facebook Users Interacted Most With Articles From Fox News, CNN and Breitbart In Month Leading Up To Nov 10 · · Score: 1

    Ok, which of the new articles (not editorials) in the NY Times coverage of the electer were in the tank for Hillary?

    Oh, what's that? You can't actually provide specifics or details or anything aside from the hot air spewing out of your mouth.

    Well, I guess that makes you just a shill for our new Racist Overlord, Donald Trump.

  4. Americans consume a healthy diet of propaganda and lies. No wonder, our racist overlord won the election. It would be interesting to go back in time to 1861, and compare the amount of racist propaganda consumed by the American South versus the average Trump voter.

  5. The media reported the facts. Trump said a lot of sexist, xenophobic, racist nonsense. And the media reported it.

  6. Except some people really are racist and homo-phobes. Like Steve Bannon, Trump's advisor. That dude is white supremacist fck head.

  7. Trump said he never said those things. So he never said those things. If you google, "Sexist things that Trump said", those things are all lies.

    And that makes Trump less of a monster? Less of a complete and total scum bag?

    The climate activists here on Slashdot have been overwhelmed by the moronic crowd of science deniers. The same crowd who elected the racist, emotionally unstable, sexual predator in Chief.

    I agree: this story is complete nonsense. We know why Trump won: his voters had no problem voting for an offensive, sexist, racist, sexual predator.

  12. Re:Congrats idiots on Russia Says it Was in Touch With Trump Campaign During Election (cnbc.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Right, you moron, Hillary was racist against white males, even though she's married to one.

    She was offended by deplorable bigoted scum bags who don't have the basic sense of decency not to elect a racist, sex offender to the presidency of the United States of America.

    Trump was openly racist. He prevented blacks from moving into his real estate holdings.

    People shouldn't have to quit their jobs so they don't die. We need a single payer health care system.

    You are truly stupid. The uncaring, callous Republican congress has tried countless times to repeal the ACA with no replacement. Trump has said he would repeal the ACA.

    The racist, sexual predator who was just elected President isn't going to fight against that list of outcomes.

    Your sister should move out of the United States. The sad fact is that your sister and thousands like her will die when they dismantle the ACA.

    The fascist, racist thug who has just been elected President and his entire party have proposed no working replacement for the ACA.

    Preventing man from causing another extinction event is what we give a shit about.

  21. Re: Science... Yah! on Science's Biggest Failure: Everything About Diet and Fitness · · Score: 4, Funny

    Are you joking with this nonsense about "buying and preparing actual ingredients"?

    I tried that once and I nearly missed half an episode of American Idol. All that cooking takes too much time and requires standing up and an occasional period of mental concentration.

    I love prepacked television dinners.

  22. Android on Intel is Unstable Crap, or not? on First Look At Dell Venue 8 7000 and Intel's Moorefield Atom Performance · · Score: 1

    The Dell Venue 7 on amazon goes for $100. There isn't a comparable tablet from a major vendor with the specs of the Venue 7 that approaches $100.

    I nearly ordered one, and then I read the reviews on amazon, and the reviews are scathing. Apparently, this product has real stability issues potentially related to the upgrade to KitKat, or related to only 1 gb of RAM (which seems odd because there are a multiple of tablets (see iPad) that function well with only 1 gb of RAM).

    Is this an Android on Intel problem?

    Obamacare is working fine. Millions of people now have health insurance who didn't have it before. Thousands of lives are being saved because of that.

    The problem is with the blood sucking, heartless Republican bastards who pretend that a laissez-faire approach to healthcare is anything less than the whole sale negligent killing of the poor.

    The civilized world (almost everywhere except for the United States) has figured out that a single payer approach to healthcare is cheaper and provides better healthcare than the crap ass system used in the United States of Exploitation.

  24. Microsoft and BestBuy are Thieves on Microsoft Takes Another Stab At Tablets, Unveils Surface 2, Surface 2 Pro · · Score: 1

    Here is the most remarkable fact about Surface RT (Windows on Arm) in combination with the new Windows Store at BestBuy:

    A significant amount of the floorspace of America's last remaining generic brick and mortar electronics vendor, is now devoted to a product that does not sell.

    The Surface RT is product does not have a naturally won position in the market place. The product exists simply because Microsoft has the money, a long standing relationship with BestBuy, and the desperation to place the excess inventory in front of customers who do not want to buy it.

    Microsoft and BestBuy are flogging a product (Windows on Arm) which is doomed. Everyone in the industry knows it is. I can only feel sorry for the unsuspecting customers who purchase Windows on Arm.

    Microsoft and BestBuy are stealing money from people in a last gasp attempt at flogging a dead platform.

  25. Finger Grease on a Laptop Screen? on Surface Pro 2 and Surface 2: Now With New Kickstand! · · Score: 1

    This is a serious question of Surface users. My laptop screen must stay pristine.

    How do Surface users, when toggling the device back to desktop mode, deal with the finger grease?

    - Battery life
    - Disk space
    - Decent keyboard
    - Screen size

    These all take second place to the chore of dealing with a smudged up screen on a machine that would seek to function as a tablet and a laptop.
