2006: The AT&T split from 25 years prior was ondone. All the Baby Bells became again AT&T. Didn't seem to make much difference. This happened in the Bush administration.

Inferior troll is inferior. You are mistaken about nothing. You are cackling like a stoned teenager as you posit lies with 75% factual backing. What's your next claim going to be, that lead foil of the same thickness blocks "cell phone signals" better because it is denser?
How about YOU try it, beam weld all the foil together, and post a video on YouTube with today's datestamp.
Unfortunately, you will probably be modded down as troll or something while "sinij" is modded from +4 to +5 on his wrong answer. CORRECT on your part. Conducted emissions are always half the battle and generally easy to handle with EMI suppressors.
Arabs purchased Slashdot about two years ago as some sort of "investment" and threw the site under the bus. It is being actively neglected and has lost most of its user base. They hired two or three monkeys who push about half a dozen topics from "Russia" to "Net Neutrality" to "AI" and little more. It looks as though the site was either purchased to be run into the ground in a big portfolio (look at the SEC filings), or they are taking big bucks from someone to do some SEO black hat magic.
The field of astrophysics utilizes orders of magnitude in their calculations with ONE significant figure. Numbers like 1E-50 are commonplace. Now think about that one for your probability of catching an alien's signal on the hydrogen line spectrum. Think about it. You'd have to modulate a star. Not going to happen, and I don't think they would be that interested in our level of "intelligence," unfortunately.
Meh, reminds me of the time I bought a "rodent-proof" trashcan to keep the rats out of my goat food.
I came back a few days later to feed the goats and found rats had chewed right through the thin sheet metal. Go figure. One thing I learned from Jurassic Park is "life will find a way."
All stories alternate between three topics with no break:
1. "Evil Russians" 2. Al non-stories Some other SJW/marketing nonsense
Unfortunately, some like you learned neither reading comprehension or to be aware of silent agendas. I would like to know in this case what is with #2. Slashdot used to have good articles on, say, a change in how device tree overlays are handled, or an article on the current state of RESTful design. It is little to none of that anymore. The faux-editors don't know anything and have been given instructions from their bosses in Dubai. When it was kdawson, samzenpus, taco, et al., these guys at least were in circles where real tech was being discussed, even if they didn't know too much about it themselves. It's really sad when cloning Timothy Lord into a worker pool of 30 pocket protector bearing threads knocking heads with each other would be preferable to THIS.
Ripper: Mandrake?
Mandrake: Yes, Jack?
Ripper: Have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water?
Mandrake: Well, I can't say I have, Jack.
Ripper: Vodka, that's what they drink, isn't it? Never water?
Mandrake: Well, I-I believe that's what they drink, Jack, yes.
Ripper: On no account will a Commie ever drink water, and not without good reason.
Mandrake: Oh, eh, yes. I, uhm, can't quite see what you're getting at, Jack.
Ripper: Water, that's what I'm getting at, water. Mandrake, water is the source of all life. Seven-tenths of this Earth's surface is water. Why, do you realize that 70 percent of you is water?
Mandrake: Good Lord!
Ripper: And as human beings, you and I need fresh, pure water to replenish our precious bodily fluids.
Mandrake: Yes. (he begins to chuckle nervously)
Ripper: Are you beginning to understand?
Mandrake: Yes. (more laughter)
Ripper: Mandrake. Mandrake, have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water, or rainwater, and only pure-grain alcohol?
Mandrake: Well, it did occur to me, Jack, yes.
Ripper: Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation. Fluoridation of water?
Mandrake: Uh? Yes, I-I have heard of that, Jack, yes. Yes.
Ripper: Well, do you know what it is?
Mandrake: No, no I don't know what it is, no.
Ripper: Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face?
Definitely the Russians. If they pull this off (and sources tell me they can), they will take all of California's natural resources, Gazprom will build a pipeline over the Pacific Ocean to North Korea, and California will be left as a mere desert. Trust me, I had a convo with EditorDavid, and he said *his* sources told him exactly this but was obligated to not reveal them.
LOL, Property rights! You MORON. If you have a RIGHT to property, you outright own it. If you have a TITLE to property, e.g. a car or real estate, you never own it and are forced to pay taxes on it. If you don't pay the taxes, you lose it or are penalized with more fines or jail time.
See subject. Think about it. The religious people always joke about their omniscient deities watching everything, including you pooping. This, however, is far, FAR less of a stretch.
Slashdot Mirror
We will need all the help we can get.
Zuckerberg's tentacles are fewer and shorter than Google's. They're also receding like an old man's hair. He's just far too arrogant to accept that.
2018: Mark Zuckerberg makes first address to Congress.
2020: Mark Zuckerberg is installed as next president.
Actually, I was wondering whether "monitoring kids at the pool" was code for something.
I think I'm on to something.
BLM
I think getting the Bureau of Land Management involved in this is going a little overboard.

Did all of Slashdot take stupid pills today?
Try running that through a simulator and tell me what the S11 is.

Replying to yourself again? Sounds like a pretty stanced opinion.
On that note, a reputation that might have been solid three hundred years ago has had plenty of time to falter.

Beau, why?
How is this even newsworthy? Is it that Beau/Miss Mash finds great interest in a startup existing out of Silicon Valley?
At least it's not another "KGB" "story."
THIS is what you put in the room to discipline cats. I guarantee you you'd never have that problem again.
Post more. I want to hear the part about Han crushing and snorting Force Crystals and joining in on the fun after Yoda/Luke.
Don't think so. That sounded like a good question, so I looked it up. Here's a Vice link where Vice goes after Cracked.

They're equally clickbaity and empty, but I don't think there is any real relation.

Sounds like the perfect KGB job to me.
This is NOT NEWS. This was posted LAST WEEK elsewhere. Even clickbait aggregator Drudgereport.com had it.

Learn the difference, retard!
Can you BELIEVE IT! Someone used INFORMATION to INFLUENCE people's MINDS! WOW!!!
