  1. Re:This is Slashdot, not Politico on Blogger Who Revealed GOP Leader's KKK Ties Had Home Internet Lines Cut · · Score: -1, Troll

    Because it paints Klan members in a bad light, and racism has become far too mainstream in the Republican party. Too many Slashdot users are part of the ignorant, reactionary, wingnut subculture, and just can't cope with the fact that America is moving away from our racist, homophobic, just plain stupid past.

    Maybe, but it definitely means that he thinks his audience is made up of idiots.

    Maybe, but I don't really want to see a Star Trek comedy.

    Token Ring was fun. You could convince noobs that they'd let the token out of an open connection, and ruined the network.

    If people that lie for a living are upset about their lies being flagged, that suggests that this is a good idea.

  8. Re:call me skeptical on NASA, NOAA: 2014 Was the Warmest Year In the Modern Record · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You seem to have internalized wingnut propaganda. There's no equivalent between scientists and propaganda from polluters, but the right-wing sociopaths want you to believe that all beliefs are equal, because that would make your stupid beliefs valuable instead of foolish and absurd.

    Not data that contradicts his beliefs, I don't think. I think he's referring to crank denier sites.

    When people go crazy, they often think their beliefs are data, but really they're just living in a fantasy world.

    Right wing sociopaths have put a lot of effort into creating a false narrative, and so many former-conservatives have been turned into frothing-at-the-mouth wingnuts from internalizing far-right-wing propaganda from hate-radio, wingnut blogs, and Fox "News".

    I hope you're trolling. The only alternative is that you're incredibly stupid.

  12. Re:Power Tools for Powered Destruction on Steam For Linux Bug Wipes Out All of a User's Files · · Score: 0

    Clearly doing this is a good idea, rather than just paranoia, but you shouldn't have to do it. It's insane that Valve is so incompetent with Linux that they'd code something like this. I've never seen a system-wiping bug like this in Windows, where it can happen much more easily.

  13. Re:m -rf "$STEAMROOT/"* ??? on Steam For Linux Bug Wipes Out All of a User's Files · · Score: 0

    It seems like Valve does not take Linux support seriously. Windows is inherently less secure than Linux, but I expect that they dedicate enough resources to their Windows version that something like this would never happen.

    Wealthy people tend to want even more money. I get the feeling that the constant Java updates exist only to trick people into installing the Ask toolbar.

    >True, from what I've seen, they actually re-design them regularly so that people can't get used to where the options are.

    That's how they got me. I was conditioned to look for the adware/malware checkboxes that used to be displayed even when express installing. Now they've hidden the malware checkboxes in the custom install, so I wound up needing to re-install Windows to clean the system. I used to like CNet, but I'm over that.

  18. Re:But on Microsoft Ends Mainstream Support For Windows 7 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    >99% of the people bashing the windows 8 interface haven't used it for more than an hour. They go crazy when anything changes

    That's complete bullshit, and you know it. The terrible changes in Win 8 were done to try to drive traffic to an app store, and to run on tablets. They actually harm the user-experience on the desktop. This is not people freaking out over change, this is people rejecting a broken UI.

    I have to assume that there's something seriously wrong with you, causing you to call people crazy for rejecting an inferior OS. Is the rest of your worldview this screwy?

    The last time I used it, I made the mistake of doing an express install, and wound up with at least 5 pieces of malware on my PC. CNet is dead to me.

    But we see yet again that the ignorant, superstitious, anti-science, theocratic throwbacks are concentrated in the Republican party, and have driven everyone with an IQ over room-temperature out. "Conservative" is clearly a subset of "stupid."

    It's a pretty big bug for people who like watching sports. I'd think live sports are the only advantage that cable has over Internet based entertainment at this point, so this is a pretty big deal. I'm not into sports, so I ditched cable and moved to NetFlix and Hulu a long time ago. People who are into sports can now do the same with this service.
