  1. Re:Why the FOSS movement is small and obscure on Proprietary Software is the Driver of Unprecedented Surveillance: Richard Stallman (factor-tech.com) · · Score: 1

    Stallman doesn't support open source shoes. Now open toes , that's entirely different.

    Antifa's entire modus operandi, however, is based on violence â" For the Greater Good[TM].

    The USA's very existence is based on the same thing - an armed insurrection against the God-anointed King.

    But I suppose that was OK.

    You don't know the difference between economics and arithmetic? Must be one of them thar librerlarts majors.

    Laws: such a good idea you have to be forced at gunpoint to obey them!

    Actually kilograms, i.e. weight, are never a unit of mass.

    Found the DeVry grad!

    I mean Snow Leopard? Couldn't be an ordinary leopard, could it? With its yellow and black pigmentation that would be tantamount to admitting the actual true scientifically proven historical FACT that the Chinese and Africans invented computing as we know it and Babbage, Dickens and Mozart stole it literally at gunpoint.

  7. Re:What they're really doing... on Google To Kill a Bunch of Useful Android Apps That Rely On Accessibility Services (androidpolice.com) · · Score: 1

    Google aren't omniscient? WTF? Was that mentioned in the EULA?

    But rather that's my point. I quite like your and I think it could be useful - but why isn't there a vanilla, non- accessibility, API to get the text?

    It's like an os where there's no grep, but only an accessibility-grep.

  8. You can use open source software for just as much spying and lack of privacy.

    Could I use Kali or whatever to spy on other people? Yes, but that's not the issue.

    The difference is that with Windows 10 or Chrome, even if I'm not in Soviet Russia, I'm enabling someone to spy on me.

    You appear to be conflating "supporting Hitler" with "having learned, off by heart, everything he ever said".

    If he said 2 + 2 = 4 does that mean the answer's 5?

  10. Exactly what I'd expect a kiddy-fiddler to say.

  11. Little-known fact - the name was chosen to try and attract more females.

    Yes, I know.

    Some people have suggested that votes be weighted by intelligence. Comparing that to your system, I reckon it's not far off.

    If you drop three marbles off a building in 1 second intervals, the gap between marble 1 and 2 will always grow faster than the gap between marbles 2 and 3.

    I'm not sure what that proves, other than that things generally don't fall up.

    with regard to pressure on banks to give out loans to people who really weren't fiscally qualified, that was done by liberals and progressives

    What are you on about now? I presume you're not referring to the CRA, since it contains the phrase "...consistent with the safe and sound operation of such institutions." which I don't interpret as meaning anything like that.

    they saw that as a way to make sure more minorities were able to get house loans on par with potential white home owners.

    It's a scientific fact that they prefer sleeping under the trees in the park because it reminds them of the jungle, right?

  19. The Japanese are brilliant. Nearly as great as the Chinese. Blacks and Hispanics are pretty good too.

    White people are stupid.

    If you don't believe me, ask the submitter.

  20. It's quite easy, at least when there aren't any pronouns involved: the person who owns (or is associated with) the thing is immediately before the apostrophe. Note that this holds even for irregular plurals like the second example below.

    Joe's garage = the garage belongs to Joe.
    Men's hats = the hats belong to [some] men.
    Nations' elections = the elections belong to the nations.
    Slashot's editors' stupid fucking retarded brains = the stupid fucking retarded brains belong to the editors, who it turn belong to Slashdot.
