  1. Re:Time and place on Starbucks and McDonald's Announce Porn Blocks On Their Wi-Fi Networks (cnn.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And what exactly is "porn" again?

    The Venus de Milo? Greta Garbo in a swimsuit? Protest coverage? Dancing?

    Apparently not Game of Thrones though.

  2. They forgot the First Rule of AI Kill-Switches on Google Is Developing an AI Kill Switch (hothardware.com) · · Score: 2

    The first rule of AI kill-switches is "Don't talk about the AI kill switch".

  3. What's next? on YouTube Threatens Legal Action Against Video Downloader (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    How long before they demand access to your brain, so they can remove the copies of infringing material you keep there?

  4. Bad Student! The Emperor has lovely clothes! on Student Exposes Bad Police Encryption, Gets Suspended Sentence (podcrto.si) · · Score: 1

    And be grateful that you're getting away with your sedition so easily!

  5. How about this "change"... on A Third Of Cash Is Held By 5 US Tech Companies (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1

    The boards and executives can rot in 8x10 cells until they pay taxes on their profits? How's that for an incentive?

  6. Equally, it's "very representative" in that voters put little thought or concern for quality and the future into their decisions, instead following the crowd and supporting ideas because they're popular and/or amusing, without regard for their actual merit.

  7. If they burn his house down... on 'I'll Make Their Life Miserable': Tech CEO Bullies Low-income Vendors By His Home (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    then he won't have to see them anymore. They'd be doing him a favor, right?

  8. Because they won't sell you internet unless you agree to also buy their crap. Or they can just charge you for the crap along with their internet, but not give it to you. Your choice.

  9. Re:Serious question... on Microsoft Limits Cortana Search Box In Windows 10 To Bing and Edge Only (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Windows 7? I was trying 10, and while it wasn't bad to start with (once tweaked sufficiently) once it went to full release, it seemed to get worse with every patch. After the patch before this one, I nuked my Windows 10 install and put on a clean copy of 7 and realized how much I'd missed it.

  10. Re:The shame is that on 2016 Hugo Awards Shortlist Dominated By Rightwing Campaign (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    To me, it looks a lot more like Correia and the various dogs are just angry that they're not the ones winning.

  11. Re:Key points to understand on 2016 Hugo Awards Shortlist Dominated By Rightwing Campaign (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    You're leaving out who and what started all this (even as you reference his website as though it were an unbiased source): Larry Correia, and his campaign to game himself a Hugo rather than earn one by writing well, and his enraged butthurt when his scam failed.

  12. Re:That is what it is now on 2016 Hugo Awards Shortlist Dominated By Rightwing Campaign (theguardian.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Yeah, and gamergate is about ethics in game journalism, too. /sarcasm

  13. I'm not sure we should give Snowden credit here. Clapper is lying sack of shit criminal, after all.

  14. Erroneous title. on US ISPs Refuse To Disconnect Persistent Pirates (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't it be: "ISPs refuse to disconnect their customers whenever shady legal firms demand it"?

  15. Starting development is a good idea on Hawking Backs $100 Million Interstellar Travel Project to Send 'Nano-Craft' To Nearest Star · · Score: 1

    We're going to need something like this to get a good look at Planet IX once we find it.

  16. The Emperor has no clothes on Top US Undergraduate Computer Science Programs Skip Cybersecurity Classes (darkreading.com) · · Score: 2

    Why would the Establishment want to teach students that the status quo approach to computer security is nothing but lies and failure?

  17. Re:This is dumb on FBI Wants To Access Terror Suspect's Skype Records (bostonglobe.com) · · Score: 1

    What? You expected the intelligence agencies to do their fucking jobs? Sorry, but they're too busy spying on ex-girlfriends and Congress, with the occasional side-venture into insider trading.

  18. Re: pay me to Not Block ads on Mozilla Co-Founder's Ad-blocking Brave Browser Will Pay You Bitcoin To See Ads (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Will they pay you for the malware that gets installed on your computer or is that already covered?

  19. Re:Lie detector on Researcher Measures Brain Reactions To Donald Trump (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    Would you rather get another shitburger, or play Russian roulette? That's the Clinton v. Trump "choice". Anyone who thinks a New York billionaire who wasted half his inheritance playing at being a real estate developer is going to change anything is so gullible they make the most ardent Clinton fan look like a sophisticated cynic.

  20. Our descendants are going to laugh on Patent That Cost Microsoft Millions Gets Invalidated (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A century or more from now, people are going to look back at software patents the way we do at indulgences, serfdom and other medieval stupidity.

  21. I'm guessing something along the lines of the pre-Christmas update for the Kindle Fire that made it much harder to install your own OS (like CyanogenMod's Android).

  22. Thank you, slashdot, for the reminder on Canonical Finally Lets Users Move The Unity Launcher To Bottom In Ubuntu 16.04 (softpedia.com) · · Score: 2

    of why I don't use Ubuntu.

  23. Re:Because catering to heterosexual men = EVIL! on Sexism Is Still a Thing At Microsoft's GDC Party (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    No. Neither is it a particularly good idea to serve a meal with Satan and Ghost peppers as the focus of the main course.

  24. I don't. I look at those things and my brain screams. Alien murderbot! Kill it now, while you still can!

  25. Rocket to Nowhere Lives Up To Its Name on NASA Begins Planning the First Human Mission To Cislunar Space (blastingnews.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Where will the crew be going? Not even NASA knows, but they're going!

    What will they be doing? Proving that they can go where ever it is they're going.

    The whole mission is a billion-dollar joyride. The best self-licking ice cream cone ever!
