  1. Thanks but no thanks. on Pirate Bay Founder Launches Anonymous Domain Registration Service (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Just means if the company gets seized, you have no rights to your domain as it's not yours, it's company assets.

  3. Re:Rule Change when it's in his best interest? on Senate Confirms Neil Gorsuch To Supreme Court (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    Because the Republicans were keeping a nominee from being confirmed just like how they stole the seat from Garland.

    What? Their P/E ratio was -53 for 2016. And it's -103 so far this year. They DEEEEEEEEEEP, in the fucking hole.

  7. Re:How's this any different from the norm? on Bidding Website Rentberry May Be the Startup of Your Nightmares (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Because the properties list their rates before hand and are already pricing based on demand. You dont have to outbid somebody else for it.

  8. > No crying babies, chatty teens, or rude patrons playing with their smartphones.

    Mention something to the theater so they can fix it. Complaining on slashdot wont make it better.

    NASA is the easiest go to for pork barrel politics.

    > that will literally break over night

    If by overnight you mean "A 5 year grace period" then sure. If it hasn't been copied or mirrored in that time its probably not worth saving.

    If someone wants to convert more than 250,000 rupees — roughly $3,650 — they’re required by law to provide an explanation for why they have so much cash and prove that they’ve paid tax on it. If they don’t, they’re expected to pay a fine of 200 percent of the tax they owe.

    Sounds like a horrible thing.

  23. No, sounds like Fitbit is acquiring people not the actual company and it's assets.
