  1. Only handing over my guns can save the planet on Only Nuclear Energy Can Save the Planet (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    To the UN

    To Ted Turner!

  2. Revenue generation on Yellow Vests Knock Out 60 Percent of All Speed Cameras In France (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Is what this is only about. Not "safety". These things need to be stomped in the US as well.

  3. I only wish it really were.
    We are far better off without the oppressing evil hand of Big Government.

  4. Spammers only use methods where they don't pay on T-Mobile Begins Verifying Calls To Protect Against Spam (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Which is why this is meaningless.

  5. This is why Google has got to be broken up on Google Wins Round in Fight Against Global Right To Be Forgotten (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    One company should not have this kind of power. The robber barons of the 19th Century only dreamed of this kind of power.

    Google must be broken up. Not into two pieces but into a thousand.

  6. OH NOES!!! GLOBAL WARMING!!!! on Natural Gas is Now Getting in the Way; US Carbon Emissions Increase by 3.4% (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    Of course this never happens. But we still need to raise your taxes. For the good of the collective, comrade.

  7. Remember the three laws of telecoms on Canada's Bell Telecommunications Company Wants Permission To Gather, Track Customer Data (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    1. They will Overpromise
    2. They will Underdeliver
    3. They will Overcharge

  8. The Chinese communist party on Huawei Has Suspected Ties To Front Companies In Iran and Syria, New Documents Reveal (reuters.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Is the real owner here. Any company that does business with China is subsidizing one of the most evil governments of all time. The ChiCom government is responsible for the mass murder of millions.

  9. Software bloat is the biggest problem in IT. Windows should not be anywhere near 7GB IN TOTAL not just for am update.

    640K ought to be enough for anybody?

  10. Socialist media is a cancer on Politicians Cannot Block Social Media Foes, US Appeals Court Rules (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    That is what I have always said. It is something that is completely unneeded. And it serves no purpose except for government hacks to rant so as to control the people, and of course for the most sacred of all cows: advertisers. Marketing is a very unnecessary profession, like lawyer and politician.

  11. The NSA/CIA probably did the hacking on Germany Reportedly Seeks US Assistance After Hacking Breach (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Except mostly incompetently given that they are government workers.

  12. The Three Rules of Telecom on The Lies Comcast Allegedly Told Customers To Hide Full Cost of Service (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    When will the xAA finally have enough of our money? Of course the answer to that question is NEVER.

  14. Apple is dying on Apple Says It Could Miss $9 Billion In iPhone Sales Due To Weak Demand (theverge.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They have lost their momentum. They used to make great products that just worked. Perfectly. They have been living on that reputation and it's about over.

  15. This is a CNN story on Tesla Will Cut Prices To Combat Tax Credit Phase Out (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    So it is probably fake right?

  16. The huge megacorps can afford the lawyers. If you can't you are a slave.

  17. Windows 10 is great on Windows 10 Passes Windows 7 in Market Share (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    I just hope Microsoft doesn't screw it up. They have this tendency to release good version/bad version of Windows since they flopped with Vista after XP. Windows 8 was a similar flop after the great Windows 7.

  18. I don't use Firefox anymore on Mozilla Says Ad on Firefox's New Tab Page Was Just Another Experiment (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    This is one reason why they have sucked for the past year. They used to be for the users. Now they are for the advertiser.

  19. actually does anything worthwhile.

  20. So what do the evil Chicoms want? on China Gets on the Bandwagon To Provide Global Satellite Internet (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    World domination of course.

  21. I still think of them as 9. I don't recognize the authority of an arbitrary body to vote Pluto to not be a planet when it was such for most of a century.

  22. Google steals everything on YouTube Apologizes For Tweeting Somebody Else's Video (inc.com) · · Score: 1

    That is a practice they definitely endorse.

    I doubt it.

  24. Ironic that India does this on India Curbs Power of Amazon and Walmart To Sell Products Online (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    As an American IT pro, I don't much like India for obvious reasons. But this is the right thing to do.

  25. Google needs to be broken up on How Google Software Won 2018 (engadget.com) · · Score: 2

    They have to be. I don't care who does it but it has to be done.
