  1. Suggesting fake cures to people with cancer is pure evil, even if it's just the result of extreme gullibility.

  2. Re:Congress are wussies and wimps on Republicans Back Down, FCC To Enforce Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 1

    You're a crazy person, with a head full of disinformation, who's in no position to judge MetalliQaZ.

  3. Re:Sounds good on Republicans Back Down, FCC To Enforce Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 0

    It's worse than that. Mir isn't bought, he's been severely propagandized by wingnut media, and actually believes the insane things he posts.

  4. Re:Obama vetoes jobs on Obama Vetoes Keystone XL Pipeline Bill · · Score: 2, Insightful

    >"I hate America", said the lame duck President. "I hope you all lose your jobs. Less energy means less economy

    Some of the nuttiest of the Republican propaganda victims actually believe this nonsense. We should all feel sorry for them, even though they've been taught to hate modern people. They can't help the fact that they were brainwashed, often from birth.

  5. Re:Thanks Obama...for nothing! on Obama Vetoes Keystone XL Pipeline Bill · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Because of wingnut propaganda from hate radio, far-right-wing blogs, and Fox "News."

    Some really rotten people realized that conservatives couldn't cope with a cooperative civilization, so set up fake news outlets to exploit the fears of these limited-thinkers. They feed them lies every single day, which keeps the rubes afraid, angry, and unthinking. This psychological terrorism to delay the end of the archaic Republican party was intentional, and should be criminal.

    The freedom of not being able to breathe due to pollution, not having clean water available, getting enslaved by the local warlord, etc... Libertarians are not clear thinkers. At best they're teenagers who will grow out of their selfish phase, at worst arrested-development cases who will never grow up.

  7. Re:The Keystone Pipeline already exists on Obama Vetoes Keystone XL Pipeline Bill · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You'd think the conservatives would protest that, but the wingnut media chose to make Keystone XL a conservative fetish-object, and most conservatives go along with whatever talking points are released by the far-right-wing propagandists.

  8. Re:On demand vs. random on Pandora Pays Artists $0.001 Per Stream, Thinks This Is "Very Fair" · · Score: 1

    Of course that's the reason. Pandora is Internet radio; Spotify is a replacement for a music collection. This is why I switched from Pandora to Spotify about a year ago. Spotify offers radio like Pandora, plus the ability to select tracks and albums. They're not a lot like each other.

    Same here. It's bad enough that searching Google for a word in a page opens Google in the foreground in Chrome.

  12. Re:Projector on Ask Slashdot: Affordable Large HD/UHD/4K "Stupid" Screens? · · Score: 1

    >Projectors are harder to position in a home
    Not significantly unless you're totally unskilled.

    >are significantly more expensive for equal quality
    A 10' direct view display would be much more expensive than a nice projector and screen.

    >require expensive screens if you want decent contrast and visibility, etc
    If you consider $155 to be expensive, you're not really the market for a big-screen TV experience. Screens haven't been insanely expensive for years.

    That user says a lot of odd things, and Slashdot has had an ignorance/bigotry problem for a long time now.

  14. Fox News exists to keep wingnuts insane on Does Showing a Horrific Video Serve a Legitimate Journalistic Purpose? · · Score: 0

    Videos like this help keep their ignorant viewers frothing at the mouth, and voting for regressive Republican candidates.

  15. Re:Who are you? on Bipartisan Bill Would Mandate Warrant To Search Emails · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Why would then need to distance themselves from the president to be seen as more moderate than the insane far-right-wing Republicans? Did you fail to notice the wingnut takeover of the Republican party?

  16. Re:to pull a weed, start at the root. on Ask Slashdot: Gaining Control of My Mobile Browser? · · Score: 1

    The HTC One M8 works fine, and is an excellent phone other than a minor issue with Spotify dropping offline, requiring that mobile data be turned off and back on. I've never run into any weird security problem on the device, but I haven't tried to root it.

    It looks like this "S-On" can be disabled to allow rooting of the phone.

    That's not how secure emails send by businesses to customers work. The customer gets a link that allows them to read the email from a website. Anyone receiving the link can read the message.

    Look at how popular extremist Christianity is down there. No one told Texas that the supernatural is imaginary.

    >You will always be an addict. I quit smoking over 3 years ago, and I'm still addicted.

    No you won't. It just seems that way because it's only been 3 years. I broke my 1-2 pack a day addiction about 15 years ago, and have been at the point where I can have one or two without getting out of control for about a decade. I don't anymore, since smoking is disgusting and makes you reek.

    It was a pretty good idea, considering that software was loaded from audio cassettes back in the day, and unlike a cassette, a flexible record can easily be distributed in an unpackaged magazine.

  23. Re:Steve Scalise did NOT speak to KKK group on Blogger Who Revealed GOP Leader's KKK Ties Had Home Internet Lines Cut · · Score: 1

    His "facts" are wingnut deflection. Speaking to a smaller group of racists did not make what he did any better. Only deranged wingnuts who are caught in the distant past believe that democrats control the KKK. The monsters moved to the Republican party during the civil rights movement, which victims of right-wing media actually believe never happened. Republicans are not reality-based people. It's all about dogma, and fake-news with them.

    Slashdot is pretty derpy these days, but not Breitbart-derpy, so no one is going to buy your absurd propaganda.

  24. They also have a "Grand Dragon." They have some really lofty titles for a bunch of hate-fueled morons. David Duke is considered to be one of the smart ones, so you know the average IQ is below room temperature.

    No, by educating superstitious people, and marginalizing would-be theocrats like the Republican clown-show.

    People tend to realize that the supernatural is imaginary if we allow them a decent education. Unfortunately a huge regressive subculture wants us to remain ignorant and reactionary, so we make stupid comments like "Just like USSR, China and North Korea does, by jailing people for having a terrorist handbook called ... "the bible"" .
