  1. Scientology needs the scratch on Wikipedia Exceeds Fundraising Target, But Continues Asking For More Money (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    No worries, it is just Jimmy Jo Bob and his inner circle trying to pull in a few more bucks. Those Scientology membership fees are steep.

  2. Will this save electricity, who knows? The whole save as much as SF is a over generalization that ignores all of the computing equipment that would not be up this new spec. What it will do is drive up costs as manufacturers re-engineer for a new spec that may only be required in CA.

  3. Head shops from South Asia act like they have never heard of US diversity laws.

  4. Re:Hillary Lost Because of Her on President Obama Orders Review of Cyber Attacks On 2016 Election (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Any real review would have to include an idictment of Hillary Clinton on charges of perjury and espionage. It is telling that Hillary (Crime) Foundation donations have dropped to almost nothing since she lost. Pay to play anyone?

  5. Less risk, more reward on Cesarean Births Could Be Affecting Human Evolution, Study Says (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    As the risk has gone down more mothers and doctors are going to Casarean earlier. These days Casarean births and less expensive and easier on both the mother and doctor. Wham, bam, here's your baby ma'am.

  6. Where, in India, Mexico, the PRC or maybe Vietnam?

  7. Head shopping on Facebook Commits Millions to Help Silicon Valley's Have-Nots (fortune.com) · · Score: 2

    SV is expensive and Facebook needs somewhere for all of its visa workers to live.

  8. Hypocrites on Twitters Says It Will Ban Trump If He Breaks Hate-Speech Rules (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Without condoning Trump Twitter is being mighty hypocritical here. Warning the President-Elect about hate crime while allowing "#popacop" There Twitter service has had its time, the less relevant service has been caving to the demands of censors and dictators everywhere.

  9. Quitter on Slashdot Asks: Should The US Abolish The Electoral College? · · Score: 1

    Pundits say that Gore conceded too early as a recount in Ohio might have given him the win. The electoral college should be abolished as it has been reduced to favoritism for only a few states. To eke out more votes maybe we should come up with a system of using the Internet. A major disadvantage to Internet voting used to be disenfranchisement but at least in NY all of those who live in the projects have both a state supplied smart phone and a computer.

  10. Maybe the Japanese will trade us CA for Okinawa or perhaps the PRC for Macau?

  11. The Canadians seem to be able to make theirs work as opposed to Obamacare which has turned into another Medicare.

  12. No surprises here on Why America Needs India's Rockets (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    So now with all of the money going to pay for toys for oligarchs so they can smash stuff into the desert and occasionally into the ocean they want to outsource the US space program too. It is no surprise really as thee same oligarchs use visa abuse and outsourced labor to keep the bonuses rolling in at their other paying gigs.

  13. This could be translated as lame duck president prepares to dump taxpayer money on helping semiconductor oligarchs earn huge bonuses while laying off engineers that are US citizens and replacing them with "whatever" head shop maggots outsourced or on one of the many abused US work visas. Note that they are talking about labor and tax restructuring but there is no one representing US labor on PCAST.

  14. Deja vu all over again - Scooter on Apple Shared User Data With Governments, Says WikiLeaks Email (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    Citizen 4 had already shown in a leaked document (a PowerPoint of all things) that Apple, Facebook, Micro$oft, Google amongst others were already on the alphabet mafia payroll.

  15. A lot of Democrats seemed focused on Hillary's genitals (ick!). I doubt many would have cared about gender just not Hillary because she is corrupt and evil. There are a number of possibly good candidates that could have run besides Sanders including a number of women. The fix was in though, The DNC had cut a deal with the Clinton's to buy their support and avoid a split ticket for the relatively unknown Barack Obama in 08. The deal included her appointment to SOS, a position Hillary had no qualifications for and totally botched, except for the funneling of money for access part. If there was a "normal" nomination you would have had about 30 people at the start and the losers, kooks and real evil people including Hillary Clinton would have been vetted out.

  16. Re:The FBI is not reopening the case. on FBI Probes Newly Discovered Hillary Clinton Emails and Reopens Investigation (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Comey told members of Congress on Friday that newly discovered emails believed to be related to the Clinton case were prompting a new review. -NYT

  17. Re:Transparancy on Yahoo Scanning Order Unlikely To Be Made Public: Reuters (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure if that is a bad thing. Talking about revenge, Hillary Clinton already suggested doing a drone strike on Assange.

  18. Goodbye non-Retina MBP on Apple's New MacBook Pro Requires a $25 Dongle To Charge Your iOS Device (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    It looks like Apple also cut the non-Retina MBPs. That is too bad as these were nice for a working MBP that you could actually upgrade and of course if you needed a optical drive for whatever you were doing.

  19. Re:Transparancy on Yahoo Scanning Order Unlikely To Be Made Public: Reuters (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Re: "So you would take a pineapple in the ass rather than a chance at some sort or salvation?"

    Yes. It's a bit graphic, but yes. As opposed to The Donald, who in this analogy is a stick of dynamite in the ass, with the fuse lit, and Donald is distracted by attractive women he'd like to grope. There's no salvation with The Donald. That's just a dream of his followers.

    Kind of like Bill Clinton but unlike Bill Clinton none of the supposed misogyny carried out by Trump has any proof other than incidental stories and embellishment by the pop media otherwise all of the supposed victims would have sued long ago. Whereas Bill Clinton has had to payoff multiple rape victims and of course there is his sex for promotion scandal where he used the office of the POTUS to force women to have sex with him that got him impeached. This was the same scandal that also saw Hillary a regular champion of womens lib, use her influence to attack Bill's victims.

    We should do what Bill Clinton did his whole married life and choose anyone but Hillary.

  20. No one here but us Russians on Yahoo Scanning Order Unlikely To Be Made Public: Reuters (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    This was just Big O trying to lend a hand to Hillary at the taxpayers expense to try and find out where all of those nasty Russians that keep on showing the world what an idiot she is are hiding.

  21. Re:Transparancy on Yahoo Scanning Order Unlikely To Be Made Public: Reuters (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    with hillary, you know you'll get a politician.

    with trump, what ARE you going to get?

    I'll take the devil I know to the devil I don't know, thankyouverymuch.

    So you would take a pineapple in the ass rather than a chance at some sort or salvation?

    Yeah, that makes sense...

    Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted. - Martin Luther King, Jr.

  22. Updates on the port side on Satya Nadella: 'We Clearly Missed the Mobile Phone' (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    M$ main problem was that they were coming out with new incompatible updates to the OS all of the time while simultaneously slow to support new hardware features. Another problem was that they where extorting their developers early on forcing them to but new SDKs with newer versions and making things hard to port.

  23. Not getting there from here on Elon Musk's Mars Colony Would Have a Horde of Mining Robots (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    The only thing that space oligarchs like Musk have figured out is how to get that dole money from the taxpayer through NASA.

  24. Why would they? on Women in Computing To Decline To 22% by 2025, Study Warns (usatoday.com) · · Score: 2

    Why would women specifically want to go into a job where you work long hours and at all times of the day and for mediocre wages for the required skill set and are forced to compete for a shrinking number of opportunities with foreign workers whose cost of living is 10% of yours and for corporations who get tax breaks to hire them?

  25. We would probably be better off if we replaced POTUS and Congress with AI but as far as an industry goes I doubt it will do much for workers in the US. Most professional code is being copy/pasted by outsourced labor or visa maggots so no new jobs for US citizens. What could be worse is that if successful the AI would certainly be taking over jobs in the US.
