I am the previous poster, and if you think I was posting to slashdot to "accomplish anything," then either you're delusional, or you think I am. It's a social site, and I made a social comment expressing my lack of sympathy and distaste for their hypocrisy, not to try to affect some sweeping social change*.
*that's apparently what fifteen year old "feminists" on tumblr are for.
False, on several points. Every time one of those "masterminds" pushes some abusive big-brother shit, police unions invariably support it, to make them "more effective."
Plus, it was well-established years ago that "just following orders" (being "pawns") doesn't excuse evil and corrupt behavior.
It is perfectly reasonable to hold both the corrupt leadership, and those who spread their corruption through the populate, in the same anger and contempt.
Except that's the point of the canary tag. You've got your analogies inverted. You're not saying the code word that means you got the warrant. You're not NOT saying the word that means you haven't. You don't confirm getting the NSL/warrant, you just stop denying it (From "No" to "I'm not at liberty to answer that").
That's because that's what they were supposed to be for, until Adobe decided to start shitting into bags and hanging them off the side of the standard.
No, you blackhole it in your internal DNS server. This way you don't have to keep a ton of devices synced up, and a visiting family member can't get around it and spread compu-chlamydia through your network.
I really wish people would stop trotting that out as if it really indicated you could get pregnant by oral sex. You're probably being humorous, but I've actually seen morons using that story to push their "abstinence only" crap.
The fact that there was a knife raked through her abdomen makes kind of a big difference, and the truth is that a girl should probably already be taking care to avoid people who will stab her in the goddamn stomach, long before that particular oddity.
Try using facts rather than just making up what you want to believe
To be fair to GP, he may not be making it up. He's likely an American, and the truth is that we've been having that bullshit shoved down our throats (at least) since Ronny decided that Nancy needed a hobby.
Hell, that wasn't even true for the Bundles before they got into putting up YADDGS. More than one recent bundle has been DRM/Steam Required.
After the bad joke that was buying "indie" games to see EA's bloated chancre fill up my screen, ditching the No DRM promise was the last straw. I stopped paying attention to them.
The Tesla needs a "Eject Core" for the battery so that the car can be saved
Why bother? We all know that, in the event that there's the slightest chance of a core breach, that system won't respond and all the passengers will be holding their breaths until the robot or the Marty Stu wunderkind finally wakes up from his nap to save them all.
Pretty much this. I love Slackware, I cut my linux teeth on Slackware, Slackware held my hand as I plunged into the world of FreeBSD. Unfortunately, manual dependency tracking (and, gods forbid, updating) dozens of machines...
Sadly, I don't have time for that (who does?). That's the only reason I haven't dumped ubuntu-server in the bin.
SourceForge were great, that it's declining popularity (no thanks to Google Code and Github) and falling website hits forced them to put up more, spammier, scammier ads?
I don't know. A lot of the sentiment I've seen/heard on the subject inverts that particular cause-effect relationship.

I imagine that an undercover cop isn't doing his job particularly well if he's driving a police cruiser.
Poor powiceman. Don't worry. After all, if you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide, right?

Sounds like the Stats class I took online at FSU.
"Days" was blindingly fast for the TAs in that one.

And If you don't want a cell phone with GPS, buy one that doesn't have it.
Welcome to the small picture.
Wait, you were actually interested in the biological oddity of it?
Don't you know all the actual nerds left ./ in the "Ultima Exodus of 2002?"
But what I can say is that if my hard work is now "free", then I won't work hard anymore.
If you don't compensate people for what they do, they'll stop doing it, unless you enslave them and use brute force.
You won't. The claim that no one does/will do anything other than for the money is as specious as it is tedious.

BSD is Unix, but it's not UNIX(tm).
Good point. /tallymark
didn't really think it was wise to stuff all their money in their mattresses â" even virtual, cryptographic mattresses
So they elected to use a shady HK exchange instead?
I think you're a bit too generous with your use of the word "wise" :)
All these nonsensical ALL CAPS... could it mean...?
Oh shit! We're being invaded by Orz, and they're DANCING!
I can find no heart within the beast.
You're fucked.

Then you should be old enough to know that, valid or not, your "loyalty card" rant was almost completely out of context for the discussion at hand.
Meanwhile, in the real world, grown-ups occasionally need to buy things that aren't sold at the corner deli.

Don't be such a fool. Everybody knows that no one ever does anything for any other reason than the money.
