  1. Re:IBM is in it for IBM on IBM Will Share Tech With China To Help Build IT Industry There · · Score: 1

    Why not?

  2. Re:Buy american only. on IBM Will Share Tech With China To Help Build IT Industry There · · Score: 1

    I'd gladly choose to live in the stagnant US Middle Class where i have the freedom of the internet than to live in a burgeoning Chinese middle class where I would not. I bet most Chinese can't even read /.

  3. Re:Security theater on $1B TSA Behavioral Screening Program Slammed As "Junk Science" · · Score: 1

    If security theatre is the reason you refuse to visit the USA, you're an idiot. There's dumb stuff happening in other countries too, I assure you.

  4. Libertarians hate America on Greenpeace Co-Founder Declares Himself a Climate Change Skeptic · · Score: 1

    Libertarians are selfish pricks who can't think 10 minutes into the future, and do not recognize that they put all society in danger by their short-sightedness.

  5. even worse threat: AT&T routers support 802.11 on At Least 700,000 Routers Given To Customers By ISPs Are Vulnerable To Hacking · · Score: 1

    When replacing my parents' AT&T U-Verse router with a brand new U-Verse router, I was dismayed to note that it only supports 802.11g. WTF? That's a wifi standard from 2003. It's as if AT&T give zero fucks about your wi-fi experience.

  6. Idiots! Snowden isn't the threat. on German Vice Chancellor: the US Threatened Us Over Snowden · · Score: 1

    Terrible politicians getting involved in matters that they don't fully comprehend, making awful decrees and threats. Snowden is not the enemy of democracy: secret state actions are a greater threat to our nation.

  7. why don't all manufacturers sell direct? on New Jersey Removes Legal Impediment To Direct Tesla Sales · · Score: 1

    the biggest benefit of the private dealership racket is that they buy cars from the mfg, leaving the manufacturer off the hook. if mfg's were forced to all sell direct, they'd have more reasons to focus on building quality cars.

  8. Maximum Overdrive on NVIDIA To Install Computers In Cars To Teach Them How To Drive · · Score: 1

    When and where will these cars be tested on the roads, so I can know when to stay home? Sounds like a horrible plan.

    At least computers never eat or apply makeup while driving. But can they text? How many threads?

    I still don't trust the idea of giving 3000+ pound vehicles autonomy. Thankfully, they still need humans to pump gas.

  9. Re:Domain Name Front Running on Ask Slashdot: Advice For Domain Name Registration? · · Score: 1

    This reprehensible practice has been going on for a decade. It sucks.

  10. poor guy on World's 1st Penis Transplant Done In South Africa · · Score: 1

    what happened to the donor?

  11. Re:Everything is derivative. on $7.4 Million Blurred Lines Verdict Likely To Alter Music Business · · Score: 1

    So you think Disney's estate should still make money off Steamboat Willie?

  12. Re:Nirvana vs. Killing Joke proves copyright is jo on $7.4 Million Blurred Lines Verdict Likely To Alter Music Business · · Score: 5, Interesting

    and THIS:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

    shows how many fucking songs ripped off Pachabel's Canon in D. I still hear the same opening 4 chords in pop music all the time.

  13. Nirvana vs. Killing Joke proves copyright is joke on $7.4 Million Blurred Lines Verdict Likely To Alter Music Business · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Nirvana clearly stole Come as You Are's bassline hook from Killing Joke's Eighties. Eightie's was written in 84 and I heard it frequently on college radio before 1991's Come As You Are. In fact, I just suspected that the band was high when they wrote the song since the bassline is so much slower and drawn out. However, they made a shitload more money and had better lawyers, so Nirvana prevailed in court.

  14. SHOW US THE JOB LIST on Obama Administration Claims There Are 545,000 IT Job Openings · · Score: 1

    Prove it, Obama.

  15. they also require background & credit check, S on Do Tech Companies Ask For Way Too Much From Job Candidates? · · Score: 2

    your personal information is not your own. i've been kicked out of the job-seeking process by my refusal to turn over my SSN or submit to a credit check. my poverty shouldn't bar me as a candidate but companies have zero fucks to give.

  16. Was it a Toyota? on Laser Takes Out Truck Engine From a Mile Away · · Score: 1

    Please tell me we're test-firing on the Toyota models used by ISIS.

  17. China sucks on It's Official: NSA Spying Is Hurting the US Tech Economy · · Score: 0

    China has always backed away from buying US technology when they can STEAL IT. Fuck China

  18. people expect it to look cool on Why Hollywood Fudged the Relativity-Based Wormhole Scenes In Interstellar · · Score: 1

    just like we want our cars to sound badass
    http://tech.slashdot.org/story...

    i predict once we get laser weapons in space, we'll play cool FX to hear the sound they're not making.

  19. what drives selflessness? WEAKNESS on Game Theory Calls Cooperation Into Question · · Score: 1

    i meant for this to be funny but it's probably more true than funny

  20. Google Self-Driving Cars = Captive Advertising on Peak Google: The Company's Time At the Top May Be Nearing Its End · · Score: 1

    Facebook doesn't have self-driving cars. Google will win the advertising war by subsidizing the cost of self-driving cars with advertising and product placement.

  21. the only purpose of states' rights was slavery on Iowa Wants To Let You Carry Your Driver's License On Your Phone · · Score: 0

    The time has come to eliminate the laws that vary from state to state and make national laws that apply to all American citizens. The primary objective of states' rights was to keep slavery for the southern states.

  22. Re:Most. Transparent. Administration. Ever. on DEA Hands MuckRock a $1.4 Million Estimate For Responsive Documents · · Score: 0

    Libertarianism starts to fall apart when you realize that government is actually a pretty cool thing. Libertarians are deceiving themselves it they think our world is better run without laws or "government interference". Would you rather actually live in a place where there is complete anarchy? We don't see lines of people at our airports heading to the Sudan.

  23. Re:Stupid Idea on WA Bill Takes Aim at Boys' Dominance In Computer Classes · · Score: 2

    Quotas are a terrible way to get the cream to rise to the top. It is discriminatory and predatory behavior.

  24. doesn't work with OSX - not proper on The Pirate Bay Is Back Online, Properly · · Score: 1

    it's not properly running if it requires to run Windows. when you click search it downloads VLC installer .exe file and won't actually search. VLC is already installed and running on my macbook pro, which of course doesn't run EXE files and won't be recognized by their dumb site.

  25. how about a 6% tax every year instead? on Obama Proposes One-Time Tax On $2 Trillion US Companies Hold Overseas · · Score: 1

    If these capitalist leaders are given a one-time tax that they'll fight in court, screw them -- give them a tax every year. Because while it's a capitalist success to buy the legislature and write laws that allow you to keep huge profits out of the US government's hands, it's unpatriotic to screw America for billions in uncollected taxes only gained by successfully manipulating our legislature and screwing American workers.
