  4. Hey wimps on New Yorkers Sue Trump and FEMA To Stop Presidential Alert (cnet.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Grow the fuck up. It's the Presidential Alert system, and only for the brief moment is The Trumenfuhrer occupying that seat. Someone else will be President soon enough and we can all luxuriate again in alerts about how many billions of dollars we're shipping in the middle of the night to terrorist supporters.

  5. Because hardly anyone on Ask Slashdot: Why Does Almost Nothing Come With a Proper Printed Manual Anymore? · · Score: 1

    Life as we know it need one thing: a starting point of Earth. Everything else remains conjecture.

  8. There was not a proposal on FCC Chairman Slams Trump Team's Proposal To Nationalize 5G (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    It was one of several alternative approaches under consideration. There has been no proposal to date.

  9. From the same people with no outrage on Rocket Lab Criticized For Launching Their Own Private 'Star' Into Orbit (newsweek.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    over some dude launching a Tesla to Mars.

  10. If the action is viewed as criminal (intending to do financial harm?) then a federal prosecutor has standing. Twitter should hope DOJ does bring action - that way they can blame the evil Trump regime for forcing their hand to act

  11. No way he can claim this was accidental on Advice To Twitter Worker Who Deactivated Trump's Account: 'Get A Lawyer' (thehill.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Assumptions based on what I've read: The contractor's actions appear to have been intentional, applied after termination, done without company directive, and did harm to the business. I think this ticks a lot of the boxes of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. While the action was "easily" (I assume) undone without loss of data, the negative reactions to the company must have a bottom line calculation. Hell, if Twitter doesn't sue the contractor then it can be viewed as condoning the act, and Twitter's public shareholders likely have a class-action suit ready-made for lack of effort regarding their fiduciary responsibility, since being publicly traded comes with a responsibility to act in the best interests of their shareholders, and a multi-billion dollar company is a juicy target.

  12. It's $500 - just buy the damn thing and enjoy it.

  13. I find your ideas intriguing and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

  14. Hey GM, are you saying only you can do it, and only if you can steal another $10 billion from the American taxpayer?

  16. Re: Part time, not full time on Amazon Looks to Hire 30,000 Part-Time Employees in US (fortune.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    You want something like retirement and healthcare, budget and pay for it like an adult instead of working looking for a nanny. We'd have much less of a mess if that was done across the board.
