  1. Chomsky Said It Best on Wikileaks Co-founder Julian Assange Arrested in London (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    "Julian Assange's crime is to violate the fundamental principles of government, to lift the veil of secrecy that protects power from scrutiny and keeps it from evaporating. It is well understood by the powerful that lifting the veil may cause power to evaporate. It may even lead to authentic freedom and democracy if an aroused public comes to understand that force is on the side of the governed, and that it can be there for them if they choose to control their own fate. We should all thank Julian for his courage and integrity in providing us with this precious gift, at great cost to himself, much to our shame." - Noam Chomsky https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  2. Thank you for this post. It's amazing how many people are being taken in by the propaganda being pushed by the Corporate Media/Military Industrial Complex/Democrat/Republican money machine. This is the same thing that happened with the Iraq war. It's about oil.

  3. Re:unprofessional, but turnabout? on Ask Slashdot: Have You Ever 'Ghosted' an Employer? (linkedin.com) · · Score: 1

    I work for local government, and I know that there are many times when the person doing the hiring already knows who they want, but they are required by law to conduct a certain number of interviews. So obviously they're not going to give you the real reason you weren't picked. It would be better to not know at all then to believe the lie they tell you.

  4. Stock Answer on Will the T-Mobile, Sprint Merger Be Bad For Consumers? (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Will the ________, ________ merger be bad for consumers? Yes.

  5. Silmarillion? on Amazon Is Making a 'Lord of the Rings' Prequel Series (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    It's possible the new series will mine the ponderous but rich Silmarillion for material...

    Not while Christopher Tolkien is alive.

  6. Re:The real problem we have is on A Million Bottles a Minute: World's Plastic Binge 'As Dangerous as Climate Change' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    The other problem is that nobody wants to talk about it. When was the last time we heard a politician mention overpopulation?

  7. Buying the War on What Are Some Documentaries and TV Shows That You Recommend To Others? · · Score: 1

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

    The Iraq War seems to be fading out of memory already, but it should never be forgotten. Bill Moyers told the story much better than Michael Moore or anyone else did.

  8. Verizon Has Issues on Woman Faces $9,100 Verizon Bill For Data She Says She Didn't Use (dslreports.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Just about a month ago, Verizon was reporting that my wife had used some ridiculous amount (can't remember exactly how much) of data on her phone. It turned out that both their website & their phone app were reporting MB as GB. It took them several days to fix it.

  9. The 'Activity Sharing' feature that Twitch announced on Thursday aims to notify your entire Friends list if you're doing something interesting.

    That pretty much eliminates everything I've ever done on Twitch.
