    > not randoms who peddle repaired things out of the trash with unknown quality.

    You might be a redneck idiot but there are skilled engineers who care about maintaining electronics, who would like to make a small additional income. There, corrected that for you.

  2. Re:Collusion... on Amazon Is Kicking All Unauthorized Apple Refurbishers Off the Site (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    >non-news, so Amazon wants to be sure to sell supported products, that's fine

    Bollocks. I just bought a CNC machine on Amazon where the seller explicitly offered and explained how to download a cracked software application to drive it. Amazon don't give a shit unless there is another big business love-in.

    What you say makes complete sense. Sadly, in the states, the people in power dont give a fuck.

  8. Re: It's simple.. on Why Is American Mass Transit So Bad? It's a Long Story. (citylab.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's because the one car one person model is destroying the planet, and until we get rid of selfish people who think otherwise, we are in trouble

    I look forward to more articles on Kim Kardashian, lipstick, weight loss, hair replacement.

  10. The title is unhelpful on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Unwanted But Official Security Probes? · · Score: 0

    If this is official, then it's official. If you dont like it, change jobs ( or change jobs and report it if illegal )
    If it's official and you don't like it, then grow up and learn to communicate with people. The organisation is bigger than your personal view point.
