  1. Computer science majors are useful on Ask Slashdot: Are You Apocalypse-Useful? · · Score: 1

    Yes . As cattle.

  2. science would not be obsolete on Ask Slashdot: Are You Apocalypse-Useful? · · Score: 1

    You like to eat and have fire, right? Sure, something as esoteric as a "particle physics research engineer" wont help in this 'world', but science is in everyday life and helps keep people alive.

  3. Control consumption on The Comcast/TWC Merger Is About Controlling Information · · Score: 1

    And create it... From start to finish, they control your entire media world.....

  4. Re:If this is not a bribery then I don't know what on Comcast PAC Gave Money To Every Senator Examining Time Warner Cable Merger · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If fact of donations will be confirmed, then Comcast lost in the court of public opinion

    Don't worry, there will be a squirrel event shortly and people will forget all about it. Then the merger will be quietly approved and by the time the rates go up, it will be too late.

    If you rely on the general public you will always be disappointed, they are idiots and easily lead and/or distracted.

  5. Re:lol on Photo Web Site Offers a Wall of Shame For Image Thieves · · Score: 1

    No. its 2 different discussions.

    We can have the second, but it will also fall on stupid/deaf ears around here.

  6. Re:How can you "steal" a pic off the 'net? on Photo Web Site Offers a Wall of Shame For Image Thieves · · Score: 1

    It's using someone else's copyrighted property to sell one's own services./quote?

    Few people are saying its 'proper' to that, without permission, but its still not stealing.. call it what it is. And you people need to stop spreading false information about copyright, Its not because its copyrighted that you cant make copies, its due to the lack of permission of the copyright owners.. Many people let you do just that.. but they still 'own' it..

    Using wrong terms and spreading lies only make you look stupid.

  7. Political golden parachutes on Double Take: Condoleezza Rice As Dropbox's Newest Board Member · · Score: 1

    Are they not grand? Where do i sign up?

  8. Re:lol on Photo Web Site Offers a Wall of Shame For Image Thieves · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Regardless of ones feelings about 'ownership and public domain', which is a totally different discussion; non-destructive copying of information is not stealing. It may be considered copyright infringement, or espionage, etc., but i will repeat again for you small brained morons: its NOT stealing.

  9. Thieves? on Photo Web Site Offers a Wall of Shame For Image Thieves · · Score: 0, Troll

    Show me what was stolen.. Come on.. Just try it. You cant. Nothing was stolen. And the sooner you pin headed pricks figure this out, the better for everyone.

  10. Re:Really? on Can the ObamaCare Enrollment Numbers Be Believed? · · Score: 1

    Simple, they are the worst.

    Not that I never said others didn't lie as well, in fact i said just the opposite, just that this bozo's lies far exceeds all the others, combined. ( both in quantity and content )

  11. Really? on Can the ObamaCare Enrollment Numbers Be Believed? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You really expect to believe the numbers coming out of Washington? Gullible aren't we?

    Sure, this is the worst administration for lies in our lifetime, but even before this one, they still fudged numbers. It's just the way the game is played out there.

  12. no anti-virus software to deal with? on Ask Slashdot: How To Start With Linux In the Workplace? · · Score: 0

    You go on believing that..

  13. Theo .. Rant on Theo De Raadt's Small Rant On OpenSSL · · Score: 1

    So what is new?

  14. Re:Not the first time this has happened on Scientists/Actress Say They Were 'Tricked' Into Geocentric Universe Movie · · Score: 1

    Besides everyone knows star trek is a sifi based entertainment show, its not claiming to be factual..

  15. Re:Good? on How Cochlear Implants Are Being Blamed For Killing Deaf Culture · · Score: 2

    Selective breeding is far different than being able to fix a problem later.

  16. Good on How Cochlear Implants Are Being Blamed For Killing Deaf Culture · · Score: 2

    Its a good thing that we can directly address a disability like this and practically eradicate it from society. Lets hope it happens tomorrow.

    Or does the poster think its great to go deaf with no hope?

  17. Re:serves them right on In-Flight Wi-Fi Provider Going Above and Beyond To Help Feds Spy · · Score: 1

    Oh, you mean we're only spied on when using public WiFi hotspots?

    No, that isn't what i said. Try learning some reading comprehension, sarcastic pinhead.

  18. Re:not surprised... on In-Flight Wi-Fi Provider Going Above and Beyond To Help Feds Spy · · Score: 2

    but I don't think the remaining brainwash / control aspects of the totalitarian govt are realistic.

    Then you are not paying attention. its here, today. Perhaps not as overly as in the book, but it is happening every day.

    Everybody wants to be part of the 1%.

    Clearly that is not the case anymore. Too many people are willing to live on handouts from the government, using the funds from the rest of us, and not aspire to be 'better'..

  19. serves them right on In-Flight Wi-Fi Provider Going Above and Beyond To Help Feds Spy · · Score: -1, Troll

    If you use public WiFi without ssh/vpn/tor/etc then you deserve to be spied on.

    But its evil GMO!

    Has it gone too far lately without proper testing and oversight? Perhaps, but If it wasn't for GMO we might all be starving at this point..

  21. Were number one! on Comcast Takes 2014 Prize For Worst Company In America · · Score: 3, Funny

    I bet there was an office party after hearing this, as you know Comcast goes out of its way to be a PITA. It cant be by accident.

    Obviously you didn't read the article

    No, and i should not need to. if i do, then why bother having a news aggregation page with summaries in the first place?

  23. Re:Constitutional Court on U.S. Supreme Court Declines To Rule On Constitutionality of Bulk Surveillance · · Score: 1, Insightful

    That is one of the few mistakes our founders made. Allowing the court to ignore cases.

    And some software may not even run on newer versions.. if they are custom apps they could run in the millions themselves to 'fix'...
