  1. SiVal loves it some socjus I guess.. Not much different than mozilla firing brendan eich because he donated "the wrong way", making some special snowflakes "feel uncomfortable." The fact ellen pao is involved should not surprise anyone.

  2. Re:So Assange has overstayed his welcome. on WikiLeaks: Ecuador Cut Off Assange's Internet Access (bbc.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    more likely the ecuadorian government got a call they couldn't refuse..

    Will they write us a letter telling us how angry they are?

  5. You know, it's not just america doing that.. It's likely that if you're posting on slashdot, your own country is doing its part as well.

  6. What's the issue here? on Non-Cable Internet Providers Offer Faster Speeds To the Wealthy (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Most people just live with the lowest tier anyway, which is plenty fast enough to mitigate any internet related sociological barriers. They can't or don't want to pay for the premium ones, so the isps focus those plans on those who can.

  7. Re:You deserve to get owned on Android Trojan Asks Victims To Submit a Selfie Holding Their ID Card (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, yeah, but identity thieves build up dossiers over time.. A bit from here a bit from there, and when it hits some level of 'legitimacy', it's then used, usually for a money grab. While the data on a drivers license is 'out there', it's not necessarily a search away to anyone.

    Pragmatically, it can be very difficult to get out from under the damage caused by a major id theft, especially if it has been ongoing for years without your knowledge.

    Identity fraud? The more they add to the dossier, the more likely they can successfully claim they are you.

  9. touch disease doesn't end with an explosion and fire.

  10. Yes, lets make transaction authorization as ambiguous as possible. I wouldn't want any of my financial streams associated with any of this.

  11. No.. they're about driving down wages by replacing competent people with cheaper alternatives who aren't so competent.. Why do you think existing employees have to 'train' them before looking for new jobs?

    an unbiased media is in all of our interests, even if we don't agree politically.

    Typically, what's considered cool and popular by the majority is insipid to those with half a braincell.

    By what standards? The standards of a society that saw fit to reward blink 182?

    I think it's the standards we should question..

    I think your optical drive needs realignment.

  16. Not exactly. It's the default space that allows expression. I suppose it does need protection from those who would try to take it over to impose their own limited views as the default. These typically take the form of anti-'harassment' and 'hate'-speech laws.

    I know, right? The 21st century is all about properly censored and curated 'safe spaces.' WTF is he thinking?

    Well, the feminism that is defining policy in government and large institutions is increasingly coming into line with that 'fanatic element,' largely thanks to it running unchecked through academia like diarrhea through diseased intestines.

    Then I'd pay the $50/mo.. still cheaper than cable.

    That design problem afflicts the whole industry. They're obsessed with fisher price interfaces at the expense of usability.

    arth's point was that the kernel, new or old, doesn't require systemd.

    sorry, also meant to add that old kernels don't require systemd either.
