  1. It is intentional on Did Twitter Exec Censor #WhichHillary In Advance of Sunday Fundraiser, Key Primary? (dailykos.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Twitter also scrubbed #JeSiusMilo when they unverified Milo Yiannopoulos from Breitbart.

  2. You've probably seen them on YouTube on Fine Brothers File For Trademark On Word "React" · · Score: 1

    Nope, never heard of them before. Nor have I heard about their react products til now. (but didn't click the link 'cuz parenting doesn't interest me)

    Another slashdot fail.

    Facebook has more money and lawyers than a random youtuber. Let's see the Fine's C&D/sue over react.js. Facebook will crush them.

  3. Re: What a load of BS on US Gov't Confirms Clinton Emails Contained Top-Secret Information (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    What the NYT and your NPR piece have failed to tell you is that some information such as satellite images are born classified. The secretary of state goes through training to know this.

    Saying that the information was not marked classified is a red herring because it's not the marking that makes info classified, it is the information itself.

    Even things you and I take for granted like our daily schedule are classified when you are a top official like the president, sec of state, defense, etc. That is how they prosecuted Petraeus.

  4. Re:Take back Slashdot on Slashdot and SourceForge Sold, Now Under New Management (bizx.info) · · Score: 1

    As someone who has been around since the near begging (prior to username registrations), fuck off with your unicode bullshit. A-Za-z0-9 is good enough for everyone. Adding in a bunch of faggoty emoji codes will only accelerate the decline around here.

  5. To be fair on Twitter Sued For Giving Voice To Islamic State (reuters.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Twitter is flooded with abuse complaints from SJWs with hurt feelings. No time to go after actual terrorists when you have nutty feminists squawking about criticism.

    #JeSuisMilo

  6. False premises and strawmen abound on The Empathy Gap and Why Women Are Treated So Badly In Open Source Projects (perens.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    Bruce Perens is the last person who should be pointing out people with social development issues.

  7. Children or not on Chicago Sends More Than 100,000 "Bogus" Camera-Based Speeding Tickets · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The computer doesn't lie about the speeding. People are afraid of these traps exactly because they work so well. (and they drive like a-holes)

  8. Re:No way on WordPress Now Powers 25% of the Web · · Score: 1

    What that sentence means is that 41.3% of all website are not using a content management system or they have one that the bot couldn't recognize as a CMS.

    This doesn't change the point of WordPress being used on 25% of all websites.

  9. So in summary on ARM64 Vs ARM32 -- What's Different For Linux Programmers? (edn.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    There are no changes for programmers in general. Only the compiler writers need to care. (as usually happens with new cpu architectures)

  10. Language choice on Government Team Experiments With Paying For Small Open Source Tasks (gsa.gov) · · Score: 2

    With a few exceptions, their stuff is primarily Javascript, Ruby, and Python. If those aren't your languages, I don't think you'll have much luck finding tags to bid on.

  11. A better idea on A Call To RICO Climate Change Science Deniers · · Score: 1

    Instead of suing people, shouldn't the global warming crowd be evacuating the areas of the country that will be underwater in the next 5 - 10 years?

  12. WP Foundation Development Model Adds to Problem on WordPress Hacks Behind Surging Neutrino EK Traffic · · Score: 1

    WordPress as a platform targets the easy-to-use market and thus has a lot of site admins who are not savvy IT people. The auto-update system built into WordPress addressed a large part of the security problem, namely people who don't actively update their software.

    One glaring shortcoming to the WordPress development model is that they don't keep a set of stable releases. The WP core group wants you to stay on the most recent head version to be secure. In practice they have patched previous releases going all the way back to 3.8 but you definitely get the feeling that this is a half-hearted stop gap while they brow-beat you up to the head version.

    Linux distros went through this growing pain 15 years ago with the introduction of enterprise distributions. It is about time that the WordPress foundation recognize that they are no longer a small time blog package. They need to introduce long term supported releases for the stability of their platform.

  13. No chance on Lawrence Lessig Wants To Run For President So He Can Resign · · Score: 2

    A lot of candidates are said to have no chance of winning the election. Here we have an actual case of no chance.

    In Lessig's case it's less than no chance, it is negative chance. Every time he runs one of these stunts his cause is hurt more than it is helped.

    Tell me how well Lessig's Mayday PAC is doing these days. How many super pacs has he ended with it?

  14. Re:Backers don't want DRM on FirefoxOS-Based Matchstick Project Ends; All Money To Be Refunded · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Because the vast majority of people saying they want a device without DRM don't understand that all of the CONTENT that they want (netflix, hulu, amazon video, etc) is using DRM.

    So while firefox was smart enough to end a product that will be universally panned by reviewers, they are stupid to think that they can copy whatever Google does.

  15. Re:FOIA isn't meant to support a business model. on Making FOIA-Requested Data Public: Too Much Transparency For Journalists? · · Score: 1

    I strongly doubt government investigations will cease if FOIA information is gets 0-day public releases.

    This is a scare tactic by big media to protect their profits.

  16. Why keep funding any of it? on Jolla Spins Off Hardware Business · · Score: -1

    The only linux based mobile platform that matters is android. These guys are 10 years late.

    I guess their name is their destiny... the fish has already sailed.

  17. Is the kernel basically a finished project? on Interview: Ask Linus Torvalds a Question · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Aside from adding drivers and refactoring algorithms when performance limits are discovered, is there anything left for the kernel?

    Maybe it's a failure of tech journalism but we never hear about the next big thing in kernel land anymore.

  18. Enderle? on GitHub Seeks Funding At $2 Billion Valuation · · Score: 4, Interesting

    That Enderle guy is still around? He has been so discredited that it's amazing. One thing is for certain, whatever his opinion, the opposite will be true.

  19. Finally an honest assessment in the /. description on UK High Court Orders Block On Popcorn Time · · Score: 2

    A public domain movie can be watched technically but how many public domain movies are in the top 100 most watched list?

    Free software is awesome. Too bad the same can't be said for free music/movies.

  20. Death of the arcade game killed Sega on Is Sega the Next Atari? · · Score: 0

    When the market moved from fun games like Soul Caliber and Hydro Thunder to seeing how many ways it could clone wolfenstein, Sega didn't follow and thus disappeared. Sadly to this day all we have left are FPS's and their rehashed story lines.

  21. Terrible on Female-Run Companies Often do Better Than Male-Run Ones (Video) · · Score: 1, Troll

    This interview is terrible. It seems as if they pulled this chick off of the street and put her behind a camera. If she is the future of women owned companies, we are all in trouble.

  22. Laws of Physics? on Dell 2015 XPS 13: Smallest 13" Notebook With Broadwell-U, QHD+ Display Reviewed · · Score: 4, Funny

    Wow, squeezing those 13 inches into a 12 inch chassis almost defies the pythagorean theorem!!!

    Just wow.

  23. Re:How crazy on Bank Security Software EULA Allows Spying On Users · · Score: 0, Troll

    There's a big difference between scanning files and collecting them.

    When they find a suspicious binary running and attacking other computers on the network, how do you propose to examine it without collecting it?

    You are just proving my point that alarmists know nothing about how IT works.

  24. How crazy on Bank Security Software EULA Allows Spying On Users · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Security scanning software that looks at all of my files? How will I be violated next? /sarcasm

    Seriously, these privacy alarmists are kooks. They have no idea how IT works.

  25. Actually a smart strategy for comcast on Civil Rights Groups Divided On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    This is both cynical and genius on Comcast's part. For no good reason, people still listen to race hustlers like Jesse Jackson. Feed him some money and watch the protester buses and media circus roll into town. Facts will no longer matter.
