  1. Re:So on It's the Beginning of the End of Satellite TV in the US (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    I'd be extremely happy to have 25 mbps. Right now I'm lucky to get 6.

    Yeah, they'll stream them WITH COMMERCIALS. I record them first is so I can fast-forward through all the commercials, halftime, time outs, etc.

    Now I'm supposed to stream all my live tv too? I thought Netflix was already crushing the internet's "pipes." There are single weekends where I record 7 or 8 college and pro football games, sometimes 3 or 4 at a time. Tell me how that's gonna be possible over the internet?

    I remember a time when Slashdot kept away from political subjects.

    Then MSMASH got hired.

    I do miss making fun of SCO and Darl on /. Those really were the good old days.

    Are they not supposed to work with whomever they want? Ridiculous.

    Not ridiculous when they manipulate elections against the law. Yes, some laws about that do still exist.

    What are you trying to say? That they should only be allowed to work with liberal firms 'cuz ORANGE MAN BAD? Your post just sounds like a whole bunch of butthurt.

  7. Re:Racist...Really on NYC Politician Wants To Ban Cashless Restaurants (eater.com) · · Score: 1

    So could people enumerate just what is left in this world that is NOT racist?

    You probably didn't do that on purpose but you kinda answered your own question. So-called progressives have been screaming racism about every. single. thing. for at least three or four years now. So no, there's pretty much nothing that isn't racist anymore.

  8. Huh?

  9. MURDER?!?! Are you freaking kidding? It would be one thing if the pedestrian was mowed down in broad daylight in the middle of a crosswalk with the "walk" sign flashing. That is very much NOT what happened here. A human driver likely would've hit her too. Even though that person would only be about 10% at fault at most, would you put that person in jail for murder too?

    I agree there should be some sort of consequence here, but sentencing someone to murder is absolute lunacy and you know it.

    Why, because it'd make me dumber? HuffPo is basically the InfoWars of the left.

    Yeah, because I'm ever going to click on a link that has the words "huffingtonpost," "opinion" and "donald trump" in the URL. That ought to be a balanced assessment of the situation. Only the dumbest of the dumb read anything on HuffPo and think there might actually be any truth to it whatsoever.

  12. Nike's wet dream on Nike and Boeing Are Paying Sci-Fi Writers To Predict Their Futures (medium.com) · · Score: 0

    A future where the only people who wear their overpriced crap are spoiled liberal SJW millenials who kneel during anthems, hate police and love communism.

    Nike's leadership can take their sweatshop-made junk and shove it right up their arses. SWOOSH!!!

    that I can actually support. The mosquitoes in Wisconsin were the worst I've seen in decades this year.

  14. Do YOU understand AI? Right now it might just be a pattern classifier, but as we get better at AI it could become a lot more than that.

  15. Re:Of course it's not a new low on Trump Says He Doesn't Believe Government Climate Report Finding in a New Low (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm aware of all this, but the vast majority of those people in prison aren't just innocent bystanders that did nothing wrong. You don't just get "declared" a felon...you have to do something to earn that title. I don't agree with all the U.S. policies regarding jails, but the people that are in there are in there for a reason.

  16. Re:Of course it's not a new low on Trump Says He Doesn't Believe Government Climate Report Finding in a New Low (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    It still exists here. Once someone is declared a felon, it's legal to enslave them

    I believe the term you're looking for is "prison." You can google it if you're unfamiliar with the term.

  17. F'd up AI on The Police in UK Want AI To Stop Violent Crime Before it Happens (newscientist.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So, to teach the AI they'll basically have to feed it the minute details of every violent crime in the country. That's gonna be one really messed up AI system.

    No, no, no. The pre-cogs could actually see the future (mostly). This is even worse because it's just a bunch of algorithms figuring out pre-crime. Let's just hope the "intervention" stops at counselling.

  19. You didn't offend me at all. I'm glad you did clarify, I'm just surprised it needed to be done at all. Then again, reading comprehension is not much of a strong suit of many /.ers

  20. The precedent isn't prosecution, but rather the decision to prosecute or not

    Thank you. I didn't think I'd need to clarify that, but apparently I did. It's amazing how incredibly stupid some of these posters are.

  21. I didn't say case law, you dumbass. Precedent is a real word, in and out of court.

    Many of the noisiest on the left are corporate billionaires. Hollywood is essentially a corporation.

    The left eats their own regularly. As soon as someone stops being an NPC and has a thought of their own, the left quickly disowns them...it's in their programming to do so.

    The legal system doesn't work like that.

    No shit, Sherlock.

    The prove of your guilt is not contingent upon the prove or lack of such of somebody else's guilt.

    Technically you're right, but in the real world there's this thing called precedent, and the precedent has already been set during Hilary's investigation.

    Are you being willfully ignorant because ORANGE MAN BAD or are you just trying to be a jerk?

    Everyone keeps comparing this to what Hillary did. Not sure why.

    Because ORANGE MAN BADDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111. I had to scroll through about 10 of these posts from some of my ultra-liberal friends on social media. They were just frothing-at-the-mouth livid about it. I would bet that not a single one them read anything more than the headline.
