I'm thinking just the opposite. It should be Liberals, Hillary Supporters and Telephone Handset Sanitizers. However, maybe you were being sarcastic and actually agree with me.
Some of use don't have the luxury of not using Windows, either because we need to run applications that are only on Windows or we work with or support others who cannot be forced off Windows. What we really need is a hardware firewall that blocks all access to Microsoft domain names and IP addresses. Or even better one that sends bad data to Microsoft. Maybe a nice little distributed computing project would be to know what data Microsoft is collecting and the write and distribute software that keeps feeding Microsoft bogus data to make their data collection less useful. If enough people ran such software, and I believe a lot of people would gladly do it no matter if the were Windows or Linux users, Microsoft might get the message and cut this out.
I'll take this as a good sign that the new overlords are not quite as evil as the last. Might be too late, but time will tell. Hope that the bad faith of the old overlords helped drive the price down.
It is a good thing that we are no longer bothered by a Constitution and need Congress to approve such spending and our benevolent King can now do it all himself. But we should be careful, the American public isn't too bright and someday an America hating person, maybe one who wasn't even born in this country, might try to take over and destroy this country by making bad decisions that he isn't legally entitled to make.
Another victory of religion and superstition and the self interests of a few people who have appointed themselves as religious leaders over science and reason and public interest.
No, I didn't hand it in. It is being reviewed by my attorney. You'll likely get it in 6-12 months, although it may be a bit longer. There were some excellent concepts there that he says need protection.
MINT? You tell me what you use but offer absolutely no information to support it. Might as well be saying "My God is better that your God". So I give very little value to your input. I've actually seen Mint and used the Live DVDs. As a Live DVD I like it better than Knoppix, which I have used for many years (without really gaining the knowledge of Linux that I would like). But as far as I know Mint is based on Debian and I see no reason to to install Mint over Debian. Maybe you need an install dumbed down, I don't need or want that.
I'm a life long computer user and have been considered very knowledgeable in some operating systems, but so far I can't claim to be knowledgeable or even comfortable with Linux, although I would like to gain that knowledge. I'm leaning towards Debian. Is there any reason that I should try to learn and use Ubuntu over Debian? If something has been dumbed down at the loss of flexibility or usefulness I would not consider that a "feature".
Rethink the moderation system. Perhaps you could rename "troll" and "flamebait" and even "over rated" to "I don't like what he said but I don't have a good argument to post against it". Or at least actively moderate so that this type of improper moderation can be caught quickly and aggressively discouraged.
1) Get rid of the "clickbait" ads that are frequently at the bottom of the page. Clickbait ads may not be the most offensive (that honor goes to either pop-ups or forced videos) but they are pretty hated and pretty offensive.
2) If you're going to tell a long time user that they have he ability to disable ads and "Thanks again for helping make Slashdot great! ", then really disable ads, not just a subset of the ads. Makes us feel like you can't even do that right.
3) Quit including ads that look like content (even with the different color).
Plus, if we call it a weapon and we catch you with one, we'll just ignore all of your rights and treat you with "extreme prejudice". And no second amendment bullshit, the second amendment does not say that you have the right to own a firewall.
I had expected that this ad blocker software was ineffective and didn't bother with it, but after this high recommendation by someone in the industry I'm going to install it.
Slashdot Mirror
At least it was the peaceful and fun loving Germans who have it and not some trouble making nation.
Lack of money has also delayed my trip to the Sun.

So if you ever want to play your Xbox games at the landfill where they bury all of the unwanted Windows 10 phones, this is good news.
This is great because the important thing is what the name is rather than just taking a product that you already have an improving it.

What wonderful news. Now the only remaining problem is getting the world population down to 1.1 million.

When someone wants you to drink a glass of poison and you don'r want to drink it, the compromise is to only drink half a glass.

Racist!
That's a shame. I've always found Sharp products to be of good quality and very reasonably priced. That will end very soon now.
Yes Miss Berthnal, I did my homework.

Using Microsoft products and expecting privacy is like hiring a Catholic priest to babysit your little boy and expecting him to be safe.
Microsoft Edge's Private Browsing Mode Isn't Actually Private
I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!
On the other hand, it has been obvious to me for a long time that if you want privacy, you don't use Microsoft products.

I'm pretty damn sure that I don't need a subscription to that.
I guess it is the difference between being open and honest and being being on the corrupt murderous side with lots to hide.

As far as I'm concerned, if you have to go to the bay of thieves to try to get one then it doesn't exist. That place is too vile and evil for me.
