  1. undoing bad mod - disregard

  2. Re:"Suggesting" ... on White House Supports Claim Putin Directed US Election Hack (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Ok, except Trump himself at one point publicly asked Russia to hack Hillary emails.

    Not those emails. Trump was referring to the missing emails on the private server. Different matter altogether, but quite illuminating given that you can't even keep Clinton's email disasters straight.

  3. Re:Obama care is the reason on US Life Expectancy Declines For the First Time Since 1993 (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    When did we socialize medicine?

  4. Dongles!

  5. Re:Microsoft for the win! on Windows 10 'Home Hub' Is Microsoft's Response To Amazon Echo and Google Home (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    It's dark humor.

  6. Re:Elephant in the room on The US Government Funds A War On Online Fake News (bangordailynews.com) · · Score: 1

    I think you mean Ministry of Truth.

  7. Re:How does Fedora compare to Ubuntu? on Fedora 25 Now Available -- Makes It Easier To Switch From Windows 10 Or Mac (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Fraunhoffer's mp3 codec patent did indeed expire this year. I think I even read about it here.

  8. Re:I feel sorry for you guys. No joke. on Trump Names Two Opponents of Net Neutrality To Oversee FCC Transition Team (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    It would appear that I am doing the same thing 'about it' as you are, with regards to the recent passing of the 'Snoopers' Charter' in your fine country - reading Slashdot.

  9. Re:Karma on One Third of California's Trees Are Dead (sfgate.com) · · Score: 1

    Now that's more like it.

  10. Re:Karma on One Third of California's Trees Are Dead (sfgate.com) · · Score: 2

    With that attitude, you're sure to be welcomed with open arms.

  11. Re: Best unintentionally funny headline I've ever on Facebook's Fight Against Fake News Was Undercut by Fear of Conservative Backlash (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Tagging 'Hillary for Prison' constitutes a 'hate crime'?

  12. Life != Fair
    College students should have this little nugget of truth down by the time they get there.

  13. What we want is something that works the way we use our devices and data.

    Recklessly? Blindly? I'm missing something here.

  14. The younger Munger

    Well done, guys.

  15. But you will be typing in your master password, which makes everything else moot.

  16. Re:Wiener is going to get roasted on Computer Scientists Believe a Trump Server Was Communicating With a Russian Bank (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    Ouch!

  17. Re:Looking forward to it on Apple Has Created 'Detailed Mockups' of iMessage For Android (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess there's a silver lining to everything. Even the eventual deaths of your friends and family.

  18. Re: Beginning of the end on Twitter Plans To Cut About 300 Jobs As Soon As This Week: Bloomberg (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Then you'd have to run the furnaces yourself because you fired all your employees.
    Your pedantry is poorly planned and executed.

  19. Re:Unbelievable on AT&T Buys Time Warner For $85B. Is The Mass Media Consolidating? (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    This has nothing to do with TWC.

  20. Re:For them theoretically hacking a private org? on CIA Prepping For Possible Cyber Strike Against Russia (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you have any actual evidence to back up the claims made by the article/statement you linked? This is just a repeat of the same claims we've been hearing, with still no substance to back them up.

  21. Re:Account Recovery on 'Adding a Phone Number To Your Google Account Can Make it Less Secure' (vijayp.ca) · · Score: 1

    Probably has something to do with why they're no longer supported.

  22. Account Recovery on 'Adding a Phone Number To Your Google Account Can Make it Less Secure' (vijayp.ca) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Google no longer supports security questions for account recovery.

  23. Re:Too late, they were already purchased. on AT&T Considers Buying Time Warner (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    They're completely separate.

  24. Re:Comcast? on AT&T Considers Buying Time Warner (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    TFA is about Time Warner Inc, a separate entity from TWC.

  25. Re: Irony on Yahoo Wants To Know If FBI Ordered Yahoo To Scan Emails (onthewire.io) · · Score: 1

    My point was that Yahoo! waited a ridiculous amount of time before making a statement. They made the same foolish error regarding the hack months back.
    It's called being tone deaf.
