  1. Re:Cruility the default Trump Administration stanc on Ajit Pai Loses in Court -- Judges Overturn Gutting of Tribal Broadband Program (arstechnica.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Whoa!!! /\ /\ Triggerred AC above /\ /\. I didn't vote for Trump. I don't like Trump. I do, however, LOVE how you self-nicknamed "Progressives" get your panties in a bunch the second anyone mentions anything even remotely negative about Dear Leader Obama. I know I'll get modded down for this, just like I did for my original post, but it was 100% factually accurate, so whatever. "-1 I don't like the truth you speak" isn't a mod option.

    They'll be just as insightful when the writers are all robots.

    And the headlines might be less sensationalist and click-bait-ey. I, for one, welcome our journalist robot overlords.

    Ajit was appointed to the FCC by Obama. But hey, don't let facts get in the way of the stuff bouncing around in your little echo chamber.

    Wow, I got modded down as 'troll' for this. Apple fanbois are truly fockwads.

    Nothing to see here. Move along.

    but cassettes sound absolutely terrible! If you're going to spend hard-earned money for nostalgia, at least spend it on the superior option.

    Super-douchy, insanely stupid law is pissing people off. News at 11.

    They're called laptops and they work just fine, now get off my lawn. Seriously though, does this mean we'll be typing on screens? I sure as hell hope not.

  10. I wasn't talking specifically about people working in software, but SJW's as a whole, as I believe that is what the parent was referencing. Twitter usually seems to be the place where these arseholes gather because then they can get the backing of other arseholes that are just as easily offended and arrogant as them.

  11. Re:Like Weinstein? on Riot Games Issues New Company Values In Wake of 'Bro' Culture Accusations (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The people bearing this label actively seek out what they perceive as social injustice, and where necessary cause that injustice, purportedly to bring light where they see it as needed. These are people who go into a situation, often in droves, with the intent to be offended by something.

    Don't forget that they usually go into these situations with such an incredible arrogance that it would make Narcissus himself blush.

    MS Exec #1: Our users love Windows 7 and say it actually works relatively well. How should we proceed?

    MS Exec #2: KILL IT! BURN IT WITH FIRE!!! Then replace it with a bloated garbage OS that nobody wants.

    MS Exec #1: Genius. I'll have our best people get right on that.

  13. Remember how difficult it was to get the congress-critters to understand how the internet works? Making rational laws for this type of tech is gonna be a real cluster fock.

    You assume that things will continue EXACTLY the way they are now. This article proves that won't be the case. I guarantee you I'm not the only one who refuses to pay for 7 streaming services to get the content they want to watch.

    Sorry, but I'm not going to pay for Netflix, Hulu, Disney, Amazon Video, Watch ESPN, sling, etc. etc etc. (and constantly have to switch between them) just to watch TV. A basic cable subscription and a DVR is starting to become the better option again.

    China is a criminal cabal. Anything that government owns ought to be fully boycotted, not unequally half-ass tariff'ed.

    No, the AC is right. It's stupid and inefficient. It's the equivalent of writing only in emojis whose intrinsic shape don't actually mean anything.

  22. It's a terrible value proposition for 95% of users given that a $100 Kindle Fire can do nearly everything the iPad can. Some Apple fanboi modded me down for my post though, lol!

  23. Despite the Apple propagan...erm...commercials, I've thought the iPad was mostly useless for quite a few years, so the title of this article gave me quite a chuckle.

    Despite the last sentence being an obvious troll, the rest of this is pretty spot on. When Obama and his minions took advantage of the internet to help win the election, he was declared a super-genius for doing so and most of the left would've happily felaciated the internet if it were a physical being. But as soon as Trump won...ORANGE MAN BAD, so INTERNET BAD TOO!!!
