  1. Re:Obama has no right to do this on President Obama Orders Review of Cyber Attacks On 2016 Election (reuters.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The Founders created Article 22 specifically to prevent a simple majority from electing a president in a representative democratic republic. They were well-aware for the potential of mob rule in a pure democracy. Read James Madison in the Federalist Papers to understand their brilliant idea called the electoral college.

  2. It Doesn't Matter How Many on The Universe Has 20 Times More Galaxies Than We Thought (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem is not that there are likely other forms of life out there, it is that they are so far away, and faster than light travel is impossible except at the sub-atomic level. Certainly not for complex biological life. They and we will be extinct before we can even exchange messages let alone travel to see each other. It is probably better that way anyway: if life on earth has taught us anything, there can be only one dominant life form at a time so they or us would be wiped out in the ensuing conflict.

  3. The Climate has always been changing... on Study: Earth Is At Its Warmest In 120,000 Years (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    The real question that neither side wants addressed is this: how much is really mankind's fault? In the end it doesn't matter. The Earth's climate has LAWAYS been changing and will continue to do so no matter what. So the important question is not the blame, which is after the fat... It is what we can do. But few are about that when short-term gain is the only thing they care about.

  4. Clinton Foundation has a new donor on Cable Lobby Tries To Make You Forget That It Represents Cable Companies (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    they'll get great "pay-to-play access" to HRC and she'll have even more emails to delete and need more IT staff. Plus there will be more for Wikileaks to hack. HRC growing the economy, creating jobs.

  5. Garmin VIRB Ultra30 forced this on GoPro Launches Karma Drone and Voice-Controlled Hero5 Cameras (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    When deciding to upgrade from my Hero 2HDs, I decided to go with the Garmin VIRB Ultra30, which has all the features GoPro just announced for the Hero5 plus integration of sensors (like heart rate, altitude, temperature, speed, power, foot strike, etc.) which can be added as overlays to videos in the VIRB editor. Also syncs with your mobile phone (via app) for camera control. The Hero2 HD had an arcane and clunky interface clunky, needed extra packs for poor WiFi, and I wanted more modern cameras with 2.7k and 4k capability. The only downside, which is temporary, is that accessories are limited for now, but the VIRB Ultra uses the GoPo mount so I can use all my mounts. Spare batteries are the one thing I miss so far. Competition drives market innovation once again.

  6. Sheesh. Just because they didn't use the case facade real estate, doesn't mean they didn't use the circuit board and internal space for other things. Maybe you non-technical people think of the jack's case footprint as all there is, but jacks are actually quite large for simply a contact point and take a lot of board and internal space as well. And here I thought Slashdot was a sophisticated tech publication, but you facile analysis reminds me of superficial fashionista leftist rag the Huff Poo more than the technical Ars Technica.

  7. When I was at a Sun Microsystems early in internet growth before the Dot-Com Bust and widespread adoption and growth, the porn industry was one of the largest purchasers of hardware and software. No one liked to talk about it so a lot of people don't know. It is a lot like the oldest profession, far more people demand it than will admit to it and it is big business. HD porn takes a lot of bandwidth just like HD movies. why single out one commercial market from the other? Let people decide what they want to consume: that's free market liberty. And stop being prudes. Don't spend money on it or watch it if you don't like it.

  8. Common sense, which, sadly, seems in short supply in liberal democrats. Maybe Russia can do the actual investigative work the Obama Whitehouse and it's Obama-cowed AG and FBI have been stopped from doing by a more corrupt Whitehouse than Nixon's.

  9. So In Other Words... on Comcast Excited To Have Lost 4,000 TV Subscribers This Spring (consumerist.com) · · Score: 0

    with TV subscriptions in decline, customers who only use Comcast for internet broadband connectivity can expect to be milked all the more to keep Comcast executive's paychecks fat.

  10. " though I am not certain why we allow this." Ever take a look at who owns the lion's share of US Treasury debt while Obama rolls up records in new debt? CHINA. They owns us financially thanks to our over spending (both parties are culpable) and their buying our debt. You are witnessing the final days of the empire and the barbarians will soon be at the gate. China is determined to be the new super power and meanwhile, our president is worried about Black Lives Matter (the Chinese don't really care). We voted in a black racists community organizer and his focus is domestic while our enemies sharpen their swords. No matter who you vote for, it doesn't matter: you cannot unwind two decades of failed policy in time no matter what you do.

  11. Remember, there is no free speech for British subj on Wannabe Prime Minister Andrea Leadsom Thinks Websites Should Be Rated Like Films (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 0

    You can be jailed for speech the government doesn't approve of so this is a logical extension. The problem isn't her Christianity per se, it is the lack of a Bill of Rights for English subjects preventing them from becoming free citizens.

  12. Yeah and Spoons Make you Fat on Pokemon Go Leads to Reckless Driving, Injuries, and A Corpse (chicagotribune.com) · · Score: 0

    People making a foolish decision to be inattentive while committed to dangerous and risky tasks is the problem, not Pokemon. The US DOT estimates 22% of all auto accidents involved distracted (a euphemism for deliberately and negligently inattentive) drivers. This is just another excuse for fools to increase their driving risks by not paying attention to their driving and risking their safety and that of others.

    Naw, that's Facebook telling him the SS want to friend him because he works in their building. Location, location, location.

    Wrong, Ever read Jefferson when he wrote about "natural inalienable rights". But that he meant, oh you of dull wit, they were, wait for it, NATURAL.

  15. Right...and Jefferson just _hated_ King George. Some issues transcend personal squabbles and this one does. We are talking about the control of information and the potential to distort it and access to it. that is the most dangerous threat to freedom and liberty ever seen.

  16. When you control the information... on The New Censorship: 'How Did Google Become The Internet's Censor and Master Manipulator?' (usnews.com) · · Score: 0

    ...you can bend it all you want. Google is the Big Brother they (numerous famous authors years ago) warned you about. You just won't realize it until it's too late: when you are disarmed and controlled.

  18. Short-term profits over supporting our nation on Qualcomm To Manufacture Custom Chips For Chinese Market (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    China will steal their IP and kick them out in a few years so they'll have joined a long list oUS traitors trading jobs and the future for short-term profits.

  19. "Blue Coat assures that it is not going to utilize the certificates to snoop on us." Right and registration of firearms won't lead to confiscation...except in NYC where it did.

  20. Their Gun Control Isn't Working on California Mayors Demand Surveillance Cams On Crime-Ridden Highways (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Despite California having some of the most Draconian gun control law in the US, their murder rate is still higher than Western states with far fewer gun laws: OR, WA, UT, MT, WY. ND, SD, CO and TX and they are closely tied with AZ. So it is becoming clear with this move that they are want to disarm the citizens and promote the Bog-Brother State, so It isn't about guns, it is about the state versus liberty after all.

  21. Leftist Statist at work on Apple CEO Tim Cook: I'd Require All Children To Start Coding In 4th Grade (thehill.com) · · Score: 0

    Tim Cook apparently knows what is best for everyone's children and wishes to mandate it. I appreciate some of Apple;s innovation, but the anti-liberty tyrannical statist views should be ignored.

  22. Gov't Excuse is Disingenuous at Best on Crypto Experts Blast Gov't Backdoors For Encryption · · Score: 1

    If one ways to damage from the two groups: terrorists and criminals having secure encryption or governments having a backdoor to all encryption, hands down far more damage is done to civil rights and liberty by governments worldwide. I'd rather find other ways to curtail terrorism and crime than let governments have tools for oppression of civil rights and liberties.

  24. Re:OK then what about the 2nd amendment? on Spy Drones Used To Hunt Down Christopher Dorner · · Score: 1

    The LAPD shot 4 innocent people in their vehicles while searching for Dorner. By my count (3 Dorner, 4 LAPD) plus the fact Dorner had a list and the LAPD just shot people, I'd they are more dangerous to us than Dorner.

  25. "Individual a big ask?" No. on Raytheon's Riot Program Mines Social Network Data For Intelligence Agencies · · Score: 1

    Espionage and surveillance work is done by diligence and pricing together bits of data to create an informative model. Every bit of evidential data or prediction narrows the filed of outcomes and increases the predictive capability and probability of the location and behavior even of an individual. Our courts work that way, bit by bit, and the bar for surveillance is much, much lower. No reasonable doubt stuff needed. With limited staff and resources, anything that narrows an individual likely locations and behavior enables more efficient resource allocation is a big win. As for not selling it, they don't need to—they made their money from the government during development and now they are paid to maintain it.
