  2. Trumps first steps towards a Theocracy!!

  3. It is the news!! on Ask Slashdot: Why Do So Many of You Think Carrying Cash Is 'Dangerous'? · · Score: 1

    The NEWS companies put up every little bad piece of news and people run around thinking crime is going through the ceiling. When in fact the general trend for the last 50 years has been, crime is down! Did you know you are more likely to get hit by lighting then to be kidnapped! The most dangerous thing you can do these days is get in a car.

  4. Careful or Trump will Tweet about each one, and say bad things, that may make them feel bad, and he will smile.

  5. Could not see local NFL Games? on AT&T's DirecTV Now Plagued With Outages and Sports Blackouts (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    It seems few people remember that antennas still work! You do not even need a special digital..... that antenna that has been on the roof for 20+ years will work just fine. Heck I watch the games with the antenna because of the better picture.

  6. Not on tablets, iPad or desktop = fail!! on Google Duo Video Chat App Arrives On iOS and Android With End-to-end Encryption (betanews.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

  10. All toolbars are malware? on Ask Toolbar Now Considered Malware By Microsoft · · Score: 2

    All toolbars are malware, what is the big deal. I took user install rights away, because of toolbars. They were just causing to many problems.

  11. A version for Runners on What Will Google Glass 2.0 Need To Actually Succeed? · · Score: 1

    Add GPS, drop the video and keep the weight to a minimum, run time of at least 5 hours. Display running data, distance, time, pace, etc... Add an option for ear phones and the runners will buy it...

  12. Re:No on Microsoft Reveals Windows 10 Will Be a Free Upgrade · · Score: 0

    "software that users subscribe to, rather than buy outright"
    Seems to say it right there!!

  13. No arrests? on GCHQ Warns It Is Losing Track of Serious Criminals · · Score: 1

    Unless NOAA is going to get permission from every landowner in Texas! Also no more satellite views from any thing like Google/Apple/Yahoo/Garmin/Tomtom/etc... Maps.

    Another politician not thinking any farther then their personal money sources! Most likely a group who know they are breaking the law and are trying to keep other from learning about it.

  18. Different then?? on Silicon Valley Values Shift To Customersploitation · · Score: 1

    And how they are acting any different then say 90% of the other companies in the USA?

  19. 57% really?? on BSA Claims Half of PC Users Are Pirates · · Score: 1

    57% really?? Most users are lucky they know how to turn a computer on, and most likely didn't know what they were even answering. Ask the questions the right way and you will get the answers you want.

    China has been at war with us for seventy years, the US just doesn't want to acknowledge it!! We need to wake up!!

  21. Re:YES! on Ubuntu 8.10 Outperforms Windows Vista · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Not even close!

    Being faster means little if the average person can not install an application and have it work! That is WITHOUT going to the command line, editing some script, coping some file, or hunting for some needed RPM.
