  1. Re:Nothing of value will be lost on Scientists Marvel At 'Increasingly Non-Natural' Arctic Warmth (msn.com) · · Score: -1

    Are you a young earth creationist who denies that humans existed during the optimum?

  2. Apple has ONE PRODUCT on It's Time To Admit Apple Watch Is a Success (imore.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    If you actually read what Apple reported rationally you find this:
    1. The iPhone is successful.
    2. The Mac segment is stagnating and frankly it's probably a healthy dose of RDF + iPhone tie-in as to why it's not in freefall considering how poorly Apple has treated it.
    3. The iPads are actually in freefall and the RDF ain't working.
    4. iWatch? There's a word for that: rounding error. And not a hugely profitable one.

  3. Re:Gobal menus? on KDE Plasma 5.9 Released (softpedia.com) · · Score: -1

    KDE had support for dragging empty areas of windows IN WAYLAND back in the Mandrake days you say?

    Dayum, their time-travel KIO part really does work well.

  4. Yeah, Apple is so happy that Ireland didn't IREXIT on 'It's Tricky': Apple Misses the Deadline To Pay $13.9 Bn To Ireland in Illegal Tax Benefit (cnbc.com) · · Score: 0

    I'm sure Apple is quite pleased that an EU commission can decide laws for Ireland and decide if Irish laws are "legal" or not. After all, a democratically elected parliament that passes the laws sounds like Nazism to me.

  5. Java webstart? on Japanese Government Requires Java and Internet Explorer 11 X86 · · Score: -1

    The work-around for most plugins is to use webstart instead. It works fine with Chromium on Linux, for example.

  6. Those Hawaiians are just Xenophobic! on Mark Zuckerberg 'Reconsidering' Lawsuits To Force Property Sales in Hawaii (cnbc.com) · · Score: -1

    They should welcome Zuckerburg showing up out of nowhere and taking their land. Who do they think they are, a bunch of deplorably xeonophobic Trump supporters?

  7. Re:Batteries turn out to be dangerous on HP Recalls Another 100,000 Laptop Batteries After Reports of Overheating and Damage (techrepublic.com) · · Score: -1

    Yes, because Obama personally descended from his higher plane of existence and stopped all the issues with the Note 7 or these batteries from occurring.... UNTIL EVIL HITLER TRUMP ASSASINATED HIM AND FORCED US TO BUY THESE BATTERIES! AMIRITE?!?!!?!

  8. Increase the price for non-performing majors on Should College Tuition Vary By Major, Based On the College's Costs For the Major? (qz.com) · · Score: 0

    College majors that don't result in productive graduates need to cost more not less. Do we really need more business majors floating around because it was cheaper?

  9. Try focusing on your real competitors on Vivaldi CEO: Stop Your Anti-Competitive Practices With Edge, Microsoft! (betanews.com) · · Score: -1, Insightful

    Whining about Microsoft's browser monopoly is very 1998.

    You might want to focus on the real competitors in the browser market instead of a minority player that's only even really present on one platform -- the non-Mac PC -- and is basically non-existent everywhere else.

  10. You just now started worrying? on Ask Slashdot: Can US Citizens Trust Government Data? (msn.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Only a koolaid drinking disingenuous douche-shill thought that the government was magically trustworthy with Obama but all of the sudden is magically not to be trusted anymore because there's a new president.

    Especially because it's pseudo-intellectual bullshit since the cancerous unelected unaccountably bureaucracy that actually runs the government doesn't care about who is in charge.

    The government is 100% as trustworthy today as it was the during your god and personal saviour Obama's reign. It is left as an exercise to those of us with more than two brain cells to determine what that trustworthiness level is.

    Yeah, fuck you. The world doesn't owe you anything and even Uber's own ad campaigns bend over backwards to emphasize that this is supposed to be a side gig to make some extra money.

    Well wouldn't it be late to stop Obama at this point?
    Those time travelers need to check their clocks.

  14. Re:If they're smart... on Trump Trades in Android Phone For Secret Service-Approved Device (cnet.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    Yes, blame the blacks -- oh wait -- jews -- oh wait -- Russians for everything. It's literally impossible that Hillary might have lost because she ran an incompetent campaign while living in special bubble created by the press and her elite celebrity pals who told her that she didn't have to earn the election.

    It's sort of ironic that you call Trump a xenophobe while the entire Democrat and press establishment go on a witchhunt for foreigners that makes Mccarthyism look like Mr. Rogers.

    Yeah Trump's just SO STUPID!

    You are SO ORIGINAL with that zinger! Damn, are you up for a Pulitzer?

    Incidentally, if he's so stupid, how come Hillary isn't being inaugurated today?

  16. Re:Schizophrenic Slashdot Reaction Time! on Russia Extends Edward Snowden's Asylum To 2020, To Offer Citizenship Next Year (cnn.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    The first sentence of that story shows how ignorant you are of how the world works.

    The Guardian -- not exactly an unbiased source -- claims that at trial Manning's defense team pretended that nobody got killed due to the leaks because no specific individual that was specifically named in the leaks was proven to have been killed specifically because of the leaks.

    Let's assume that the one-sided story presented by Manning's defense at trial -- yes, he received a fair trial, more than Trump is receiving in the press -- is true: So the fuck what. It's well documented that the Taliban read the leaks and went around indiscriminately killing people who they though fit the profile of collaborators. The fact that the Taliban didn't get the right guy doesn't mean that those Afghans weren't murdered because Manning was an attention-seeking sociopath.

    Last year's reaction: OMG SNOWDEN I NEED TO CHANGE MY PANTS NOW!

    This year's reaction: OMG NAZI RUSSIANS MIND-CONTROLLED US TO VOTE FOR TRUMP! WIKILEAKS IS EVIL*!

    * But commuting Manning's sentence is great or something, so leaking sensitive information that got people in Afghanistan killed? All good as long as it's politically damaging to nazi-Bush.

    Leaking factual information from the DNC that got nobody killed and that proved the DNC directly helped Trump get elected by interfering with the Republican primaries? TREASON! EXECUTE TRUMP SUPPORTERS NOW!

    What's so "incredible" about a $9 million salary for the CEO of one of the most valuable companies anywhere?

    It's downright pedestrian compared to what many sports players get to throw a ball or make tackles, and it comes with a massively higher responsibility to boot.

  21. SLAM DUNK THE RUSSIANS DID IT! on US Announces Response To Russian Election Hacking [Update] (reuters.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Total slam-dunk case those Russkies were guilty of it, just like Iraq!

    One thing that I find amusing: Love or hate Snowden, he 100% leaked large numbers of highly classified government documents and ended up finding asylum in Russia.

    Consequences to Russia for that action? None.

    So-called "russian" hackers grab private emails from the DNC that were not official U.S. government documents and were never classified at all?

    Obama makes Bush look like a hippy peace protester and all of the sudden the good little left wingers start making Patton look like a librarian.

    So it's now NASA's responsibility to pay for the ESA's Mars probes?

    Given how much slobbering worship of Europe occurs around here while insulting the supposedly backwards Americans, then answer these questions;
    1. Why the hell should these advanced beings of pure energy in Europe even need the help of those backwards rednecks at NASA in the first place?

    2. Since obviously the "advanced" countries of Europe like Greece and Italy are so much better than the U.S., the ESA obviously should have a budget that is a hundred times larger than NASA. Why didn't the Europeans "pay their fair share" for the design of their own space probe?

    I'm sorry, you seem to be posting to sources that aren't predicting the apocalypse unless we eliminate that racist blight known as "individual freedom" so that some elites hand picked by ALGORE can decide who lives and who dies based on "diversity factors".
