    Stop being such an ass.

    Windows users have no more ammunition left save random insults and invectives.

    I'm a Linux user ( ~ 99% of the time) and I mostly agree with him.

  6. Re:Victim's fault? on Thousands of Uber Drivers Scammed Out of Millions of Dollars (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I suspect that where TFS says "a new Uber driver received a call from Uber" a "purporting to be" was missed out.

    And from TFA: "The caller, with a heavy Spanish-sounding accent, said he was from Uber".

    I'm failing to see how this was Uber's fault.

  7. Did they run any kind of sanity check on the name? Like going into a pub and asking a few of the people there what they thought?

    Among the myriad meanings of bent are:
    * homosexual e.g. "He's bent, he's bent, his arse is up for rent _insert_name_of_opposing_player_here ".
    * corrupt e.g. "There ain't nuffink lower than a bent copper and no mistake, lummee if it ain't so and strike a light, me old china".

    If these disputes were half as onerous as you claim then the porno industry would have packed up business years ago.

    It hasn't. Umm, or so I'm told.

  9. Re:unprofessional, but turnabout? on Ask Slashdot: Have You Ever 'Ghosted' an Employer? (linkedin.com) · · Score: 1

    Ghosting an innocent employer because a different employer didn't do you the courtesy of letting you know, is a race to the bottom which hurts everyone.

    I bet you know all the verses of Kumba Yah.

    The employer who didn't tell you they'd gone with someone else for the job probably felt justified in not informing you because too many candidates were no-shows for scheduled interviews. And turnabout is fair play after all, right?

    They started it.

  10. Re:Beware Leaky DNA on Data From Open-Source Ancestry Site Leads to More Arrests (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    This is terrible! How can they justify convicting people based on DNA evidence alone!

    Oh wait, they don't.

    But here's an interesting fact: the first time DNA evidence was used in the UK it exonerated a mentally retarded suspect who'd already confessed.

    That couldn't possibly work, certainly not just after a major war left the country's economy in the shitter.

    I mean, there'd be something on the telly about it, wouldn't there?

    Some of them don't even let you know that you didn't get it, let alone why.

    Turnabout's fair play.

  22. Re:It'll take a show with a larger audience to mat on China Blocks HBO After John Oliver's Last Week Tonight Mockery of Xi Jinping (scmp.com) · · Score: 1

    Oliver sort of reminds me of Ben Elton (if you're not just a Brit, but an old one).

    His material is sort of similar to that tall Scotch cunt who swears a lot, but the latter's delivery is totally deadpan whereas Oliver telegraphs the punchline a bit too much for my liking.

    Having said that his show's OK, but I prefer that Aussie cunt who swears a lot. The one where he registers a camel as an emotional support animal is fucking hilarious.
