    Not invented by Elon Musk, not funded by bitcoin, doesn't have a guns and isn't being used to get more girls interested in tech.

    Does not belong on slashdot.

  5. Re:frist post on Thanks To Apple's Influence, You're Not Getting A Rifle Emoji (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    That's true for all emoji. The entire concept is a bucket of cunt.

  6. Re:Vacant lot analogy on Coursera Commits 'Cultural Vandalism' As Old Platform Shuts (i-programmer.info) · · Score: 1

    One of the pillars of freedom at the founding of the U.S. was property rights -- you can buy/own property with no fear of it just being taken away by someone on a whim

    Unless they have more guns than you. And blankets infected with smallpox.

    I didn't go through the time and expense of getting a master's degree to work for nothing.

    I did. I didn't plan to.

    I really thought underwater sociology was going to be the hot new thing.

  8. Same here. Luckily, only three had been discovered then.

    What? The goddam thing flies in an OVAL?!?

    Take coverrrrrrrr!

    Rubbish. The definition of a common carrier concerns blocking/refusing traffic or items. It says nothing about sniffing or scanning anything.

  11. If the post office was distributing that propaganda under the form of paper without vetting it, in some countries they could be sued.

    Where? In sensible countries the mail operator is a common carrier, which expressly obliges them to carry any thing from any person, so long as no actual law is being broken.

    I'm all for having their accounts banned and IP's barred

    It could be argued that from a political perspective you're full of shit.

    From a technical one you certainly are.

  13. So Gawker didn't flaunt the law

    Why would anyone display a law in an ostentatious manner?

  14. Hint: their political philosophy revolves around using state power only when absolutely necessary.

    You appear to have mistyped "only when it's in their best interests, everyone else be damned".

  15. Re:If you keep voting for the same people... on UK Snooper's Charter, AKA The Investigatory Powers Bill, Passes Through Commons (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    I did try... we had a referendum on a better system, but people were too dumb to understand it.

    I totally agree.

    I mean it's impossible that they're not dumb and just happen to have a different opinion to you.

    Don't you have to return it to the "stable" to get your coin back?

    Bumping costs like this means somebody has to lose their job

    You have it backwards. It's severance pay. If nobody loses their job, the cost is zero.

    I worked in one for a while that had a 13th floor, but there were no offices on it. It was full of heat exchangers and stuff like that.

  22. manufacturing robots that are far cheaper than having to supply expensive food/water/air/medical/misc to maintain slaves?

    Define them as contractors, then you don't have to pay for the medical.

    Shilling for yourself is still shilling.
