Proof? How about the slightest shred of goddam EVIDENCE? Something more than a mindless chorus of "Putin bad, globalists good", unsupported by ANYTHING.
Could it possibly be that the submissions just happen to come from that side? All slashdot does is accept submissions. The conservatives just threw up their hands and abandoned the battle generations ago. If they can't be bothered to care enough to fight for their beliefs in the arena of public opinion molding, then it's only natural that societal direction all the way from homeowners' associations and public schools, through universities, all of the information media, up to the top of the national structure, is well and truly saturated with globalists.
People who self-identify as conservatives are only good in the echo chamber of reinforcing each other. They are absolutely ineffective at effectively arguing substance with their opponents. There is something cuck about their heart and soul. I am convinced the seeds of selfishness, moral weakness, and lack of commitment are inherent in conservatism as we know it.
I don't get my DHCP and my DNS from my router because I'm not stupid. I have a Beaglebone Black running my DHCP and DNS. Let the dumb fucks try to hack that.
Suppose you encrypt it with the public key for which you DO NOT HAVE the corresponding private key? Hmmmm? Maybe the private key is known only to a third party with whom you have a secret canary agreement. Maybe this third party is in a safe jurisdiction. The rubber hose about which you boast will not be worth shit then.
Headline is slanted. For the love of god, the council which will meet with Trump has 19 members and represents a wide swathe of industry. Musk and Kalanick are only barely 10% of the council. Other extremely notable members are Cook from Apple, Iger from Disney, Rometty from IBM, Nooyi from PepsiCo, and (obviously) 13 others.
What could possibly be bad with a President who seeks wide input from industry and others? In my life extending back to Truman, I don't remember this level of dialog and participation.
First, everything I see presently on the front page of slashdot, including this article, are tech.
Slashdot seems to be relatively balanced to me, both in articles and in comments. You want to see a place that started out leftist and has turned into a complete sewer of ultra-left bias, see soylentnews. An echo chamber for cuckoos. Participation has dropped to critically low. And theregister is embarrassing themselves with their batshit-insaneTrump derangement.
OTOH, pipedot stayed virtually 100% pure tech, and has all but died. The truth is, the wonder age of tech is gone. There is no more telephone-book-size Computer Shopper, and never will be anything like it. All the mom and pop computer stores are long gone. Other former greats, like arstechnica, have turned all flashy and same-looking and have gone to the dogs.
Trump: on January 20, demand a list of all the employees who did NOT work in any way on climate change. Fire everybody NOT listed, and fire everybody who refuses to make such a list. If nobody is listed, fire everybody. If the list is found not to be truthful, fire everybody.
We may be outnumbered and shouted down on this forum, but the freaks are not going to get things their way in DC for a while. It's kind of fun to watch the tantrums.
Oh yeah? It worked just fine for the air traffic controllers the last time we had a REAL president. Despite all the wailing and gnashing of teeth and predictions of doom.
Nailed it with "or carry cargo". Every week I drive to the supermarket and pick up 20-30 kg of stuff[*]. It pretty well maxes out my Golf trunk. I couldn't possibly lug that stuff even 30 meters, let alone 10 km to take it home. No; sorry; not even with a hopelessly cumbersome cart. I'm 69 and pretty-well busted-down. I'm doing pretty well just to walk through the store and COLLECT the stuff. And no, nobody will deliver it, even if I had two pennies to rub together to pay them with.
You can say I'm not worth society "allowing" me to live at this point; I'll just say I'm self-sufficient as long as I can make that short drive, and the drive to the post office. I use no more than 1/2 gallon of diesel fuel per week.
[*] 3-4 gallons of spring water (I drink a lot of water), other bottled drinks totaling at least a gallon, a pack of 12 Ensures, cans of soup, etc., etc.
the battery design was too aggressive for current technology
Battery "design"? The phone company doesn't "design" the battery. They just call up the Ching Chong Very Fine Battery Company and say "we want 10 million LiPoly state of the art batteries x by y by z mm". All the manufacturers call up the same battery company. There's nothing "special" about the batteries any of them use.
That said, you may be right that these batteries are all ticking time bombs. We know that all models of all brands of cell phones (and vapes, and "hover" boards, and...) have had instances of fire. But it does seem that the Note 7 stood out with a statistically much higher than average incidence. Pretty sure the researchers are on to something with their packed-too-tight theory. But it's not the whole answer. As long as you put bombs inside of every cellphone, some of them are ALWAYS going to find a way to blow up.
Slashdot Mirror
For god's sake man. That gooey grey thing between your ears is your "fake news" filter. You don't want your sources pre-filtered.

This agitprop is hilarious to any discerning person.

Reality is funny that way. It doesn't care if you are convinced or not.

Take your fucking Glow Bull Warming alarmist cult religion and stuff it. There, I said it without calling you a moron.
In your dreams, globalist shill.

Except to make a profit you have to make sales, and better battery life increases sales.
Says who?
I'd say security-patching the kernel is a pretty goddam good reason.
BWAHAHA!
Except for one little problem. Gentoo Bug 391945: "boot can hang when rc_parallel=yes".
Reported 2009. Current status 5 years later: "CONFIRMED".
Immature know-it-all detected.

Maybe that means "fuck you, come and get me fuckers".
But it is very very difficult to win permanent residence in Switzerland - let alone citizenship. And the cost of living is exceedingly high.
No, you miss the point utterly. Steganography HIDES the data so the bastards won't know it is there. You still encrypt the data, though.
