I LOVE that Slashdotters were all like "omg, they're a private company. And these are EXTREMIST channels! WHO CARES!" and now it finally hits channels they care about and they're like "omg, googggles is so evil."
Only a libtard would get offended by the word libtard.
It's funny how new liberals (i'm a classic liberal, suck it) can dish it out and call conservatives every name in the book. Xenophobe. Warmonger. Fascist. But the second someone makes a word for them, they get all butthurt.
I wonder how many liberals realize the Chinese have a word for them... and it's not very flattering:
> "People who only care about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment" and "have no sense of real problems in the real world"; they are hypocritical humanitarians who advocate for peace and equality only to "satisfy their own feeling of moral superiority"; they are "obsessed with political correctness" to the extent that they "tolerate backwards Islamic values for the sake of multiculturalism"; they believe in the welfare state that "benefits only the idle and the free riders"; they are the "ignorant and arrogant westerners" who "pity the rest of the world and think they are saviours".[11]
I love that you guys always cite that. You're like "The constitution is vague".. if only there were thousands upon thousands of pages of documents written by the founders of the amendment to explain their reasoning!
Sadly, to my knowledge, no such documents exist. Perhaps, one day, Google will be able to find them.
Anyone here who doesn't support Pressure Cooker Control after the Boston Marathon massacre, is a massive hypocrite.
Basically, re-write every sad, emotional plea that's advertised for a school shooting, and replace guns with pressure cooker. Don't our athletic children deserve to grow up in Marathons without the fear of being murdered or mutilated for life? How can you support the right to own [Pressure Cookers], over our children's right to live?!
Reminds me of the UK coverup of 1500 raped children. They didn't need guns to rape those girls. And they didn't need guns to get the cops to ignore their pleas for help.
(Seriously, read the stories. They're horrific. Raped, Drugged girls thrown onto the street, call the cops for help, and the cops arrest them for being "intoxicated." Dads who tracked their daughters down, banged on the doors where their daughters were being raped, and the cops came and arrested the dads.)
Turns out you don't need guns to be a despicable human being that destroys lives.
Can you make a pressure cooker bomb in the USA, Australia, and the UK? Yes.
Can you rent a van and kill over 20 people in the USA, Australia, and the UK? Yes... yes you can.
Can you throw acid in someone's face in the USA, Australia, and the UK? Yes... yes you can.
Why aren't you for banning all of those? Do you SUPPORT innocent women's faces being mutilated? Acid should be banned! Hashtag "Nobody needs an acid beaker."
And why does the USA have the most guns? It's fucking simple--well, only if facts are allowed in this discussion: The USA has LUXARY GOODS because it's a super-high-GDP country. The rich in the USA buy nice China, nice cars, and nice guns. They buy nice guitar, nice, boats, nice TVs.... and more guns.
The people who own the MOST GUNS in the USA (3% of all citizens own 133M guns!)[1], are rich people, who aren't using a single gun to commit a single crime. (But then, we can't play the "guns == violence" card anymore. So let's ignore that.)
So the question is, if a few people own most of all guns... and aren't committing crimes with them. What's the actual crime rate of actual guns owned by the 97% of the rest of the population, and how does that compare with the rest of the world?
Because the UK has nil legal gun ownership, and they still have mass shootings. And as we all know, drug and alcohol prohibition worked great, so gun prohibition is a sure thing.
You do realize that all of the companies do this... right? Right?
In the words of Robin Williams "You mean to tell me the Oscars are political? NO!!!"
People old enough to remember yesterday, remember Prince giving away a "free" copy of his album with every concert ticket purchased, which then counted toward his album sales and he was at the top of the charts for awhile during his comeback.
Even Reddit's viewership numbers are complete bunk. This isn't just "not news", it's an industry norm.
For a year, Slashdot has basically been a Trump and Russia bandwagon while completely ignoring the countless examples of China using nation-state sponsered hacks to steal BILLIONS in tech, weapons, and nuclear secrets while everyone in the media, congress, and Slashdot goes "russia! russia! russia!"
So, are we finally allowed to talk about the fact that China actually has a war machine "at parity" with the US military (and Russia doesn't), and that they make up over half of all internet attacks? (Russia doesn't.) And they literally were caught red handed directly financing a political party in the 90's nicknamed "Chinagate" and actual people went to jail? Oh, wait, but that was Bill Clinton and the Democratic party. I'm sorry. Please... I'm so sorry.
- They've already got nuke power up there.
- They have TONS of nuke subs
- They've got tons of military ships / weaponry up there so there's no chance this is some smuggling run.
Is it solely a story because "muh russia controls everything"?
With quality articles like this, how will we have time to discuss incredibly important topics like whetehr Hollywood and tech are "too pale"?
I'd say any contract that you can't prove >10% of your users actually understand, is null and void.
All a sudden, you have TONS of easily-readable contracts and incentive for users to read them.
It's like a kind of classism. Where the smartest lawyers (with insider legal knowledge) prey upon the average intelligence with no access to legal resources and experience. You know they don't understand it and you're absolutely going to benefit from it.
It's even worse for things like Facebook, or your ISP. "Just don't use it!" Yeah, except try living in the modern world where your boss can't e-mail you. You DON'T have a free choice, unless you consider "being homeless" one of those choices. So these are not simple consumerism businesses. They're essential services. As if you had a choice between Ford and Ford, and if you don't agree to Ford's ToS, you can't drive. Nobody would accept that. (But computers == MAGIC so everyone suspends their usual real-world criticism / bullshit detectors.)
Slashdot Mirror
Posturing... to a party that's against net neutrality?
Do... does your brain activate your logical hemisphere before you post? Or does it just spew whatever random neurons fire off into key presses?
>It's dumb in the same way the ending to Mass Effect 3 was dumb
Maybe that's because the entire series was ripped off of Star Control 2 so they didn't know what they were doing.
Seriously! He would have taken Star Wars and fuckin' "hard sci'd" the shit out of it.
I would have stood up and applauded that because it would have wrecked the previous movies without any sense shame.
THE BALLS on this guy.
Or you know, you could just not watch those movies.
The difference with George is... there's actual new ideas.
Whereas all Disney can do apparently, is repackage old ones in different ways and by the end of the movie you don't feel like you've see anything new.
George, as batshit insane at it sounds, is still... creative.
"New Star wars are too similar" vs "Prequels aren't similar enough"
Friggin' pick one already.
And if you think there's a third route, "make them just similar enough", enjoy another twenty Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
If you think you can write a better Star Wars, hurry up and do it already.
I LOVE that Slashdotters were all like "omg, they're a private company. And these are EXTREMIST channels! WHO CARES!" and now it finally hits channels they care about and they're like "omg, googggles is so evil."
Fuckin' hypocrite, overload.
Between the non-stop SJW posts, Microsoft rules posts, and Linux needs to break everything that actually works, posts.
Why the hell are you here? Who is paying you? How does it feel to be the worst of Slashdot?
Clearly, the most important reason to remove tools like "ifconfig, netstat and the like"? Is because they work well and nobody complains about them.
I mean, good God people. (I mean, Hail Science!)
Let's assume there's no constitutional right to own guns. There's also no constitutional rights in the Bill of Rights for supporting abortion.
So we might as well get rid of abortion. #ShotsFired
p.s. I actually support abortion.

And many others!

France, Canada both allow gun ownership.
And why does the USA have the most guns? It's fucking simple--well, only if facts are allowed in this discussion: The USA has LUXARY GOODS because it's a super-high-GDP country. The rich in the USA buy nice China, nice cars, and nice guns. They buy nice guitar, nice, boats, nice TVs.... and more guns.

Remember. VIGILANTISM IS ALWAYS WRONG.
Except when children might be missing. Then... everyone should stop everything and hunt them down!
Oh man, it's so easy!

Other than "kinda cool" blerb.
