  1. Wait? on Ad Blocking – a Coming Legal Battleground? · · Score: 1

    The internet has ads? Since when? I haven't seen an ad online since 2004 since I learned about Privoxy, and the hosts file modification, and later Ad-Block, and Ghostery. I refuse to use the internet without ad blocking. For fuck sake, I even have all ads blocked on my smartphone. I NEVER see ads online.

  3. Re:Cryptographic lockout on Apple Considering Switch Away From Intel For Macs · · Score: 4, Informative

    Lock picks are completely legal to own in WA state without any permits, licences, or prior authorization. Any private citizen may also purchase these tools without any restrictions. What is illegal, is to use them in the commission of a crime; just as it is with any other random tool or device.

  7. Quit your job on Ask Slashdot: How To Avoid Working With Awful Legacy Code? · · Score: 1

    Work minimum wage for the rest of your life, and quit your bitching. After all, being completely willing to take minimum wage for the rest of your life will ensure that you will never be priced out of the market. Quit your bitching, and so long as you get paid, work for it. I am willing to do anything for minimum wage. I highly doubt I will ever even make $25,000 per year. Do I have goals beyond keeping myself and small family alive? Nope. I will likely die at work on the clock. Dreams are for people who have too much time on their hands. If you have time to "dream", you could be using that time to work and make money. Get a grip on reality, before reality gets a grip on you. "Dreaming" is for college students who have no realistic expectations out of life, and think everything will be handed to them just for breathing. Guess what? You don't get "extra credit" for breathing. Now keep up with the market, and realize what you are worth. Absolutely nothing. You are easily replaceable.

  8. Yeah, that makes perfect sense on Is Mobile Broadband a Luxury Or a Human Right? · · Score: 1

    Because a bunch of bush niggers that have no electricity, safe running water, agricultural system, modern health care, houses constructed with modern materials up to code, mobile phones, computers, etc could REALLY benefit from having broadband access while outrunning a lion chasing their ass for food. That makes a lot of sense.

    or if you lose it, a 6' long broom stick works well enough to change the channel, adjust the volume, and turn of the TV from the comfort of your chair. Hint: tape a cotton ball to the end of the stick that hits the buttons, so you don't accidently break them when you miss your target. Put white masking tape on your buttons so they are more easily visible.

  13. I don't get it on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Get Through To a Politician By E-mail? · · Score: 1

    On the federal level, I just get form letters that very often have little to do with anything that I was writing about. However, on the state level, my representitive, (Joe Schmick), always responds directly to my emails that I send him. He's done a great job representing the 9th district of WA state, and even though I disagreed with him on the legalization of marijuana for taxation purposes, (I am pro, he is nay), I will still vote for him because he seems to care about representing all of his constituents, and actually bothers personally responding to my inquiries..

  14. Big deal. on Chevy Volt To Resume Production One Week Early Following Record Sales · · Score: 1

    It's still not a big seller by any margin. So what? The Chevrolet Volt sold 2,289 units in March of 2012. Meanwhile, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 sold 32,555 in March of 2012. Congratulations Volt line, you managed to sell 7.031% of the total volume of Silverados in one month. Last year combined, Chevrolet Volt vehicles didn't even meet up to one MONTH of sales of the Chevrolet Silverado. U.S. Chevrolet dealers sold a total of 7,671 Volts last year

  15. Why should I believe it? on Ask MIT Researchers About Fusion Power · · Score: 1

    In the 1970's you people promised it's only "20 years away". It is now 2012, and there is not even an experimental power plant that is even reliable. It is now 42 years later. Where is my electricity that is too cheap to meter? Where is my fusion powered car? Hey futurists, stop making promises you can't keep. I remember watching as a child a video about having an ounce of plutonium being able to power a personal vehicle for one million miles. Where is that development? Quit dreaming dreams you have NO chance of fulfilling in your life. Yeah, "someday" it will probably be done, just don't waste my taxpayer dollars on it. (Solyndra anybody?) Why should I even give consideration to a failed wet dream? Quit wasting my money that is taken from me by the government under threat of armed enforcement.

    Go to your bank before you go abroad, and get traveler's checks in $100 and $20 amounts. While abroad, when you need the foriegn currency, don't go to the exchange places, go directly to the national bank, and exchange them for local currency. I've done this in both CA and MX, and there were no exchange fees. I gave them american traveler's checks, they gave me the equivilant in their national currency.

  25. Re:Glad to see Microsoft taking this position on Microsoft Pushes For Gay Marriage In Washington State · · Score: 2

    Even an adult mother and son? How about an adult daughter and father? What about adult brother and sister? And who cares if they decide to have children and inbreed. After all, it's their choice to who they marry, and how they express their love. Using your logic for homosexual marriage applies exactly to consensual incest with only the partners changed.

    Example: "Who is being harmed by allowing two people who love each other and enjoy the benefits of being married, just because they have the same DNA sequence."
