  1. Tell me again on Google May Be In Trouble For Firing James Damore (inc.com) · · Score: 1
    "Just because one side is wrong doesn't mean the other side is right."

    Tell me again, which is the ONE wrong side?

  2. "Essentially, engineering is all about cooperation, collaboration, and empathy for both your *colleagues and your customers*" What a boatload of inane platitudes from this willing idiot.

  3. Just because the same bullshit is repeated over and over, it does not make this report any less bullshit than it is (but maybe more).

    Moving On.

  4. too bad it never happened.

    https://theintercept.com/2016/...

    /. should stick to tech news and stay out of politics. The editors have no clue or education to filter out fakenews in that field.

  5. Time to drop this turd on Firefox 44 Deletes Fine-Grained Cookie Management (mozilla.org) · · Score: 1

    See Subject.

  6. 85th percentile on Homemade Speed Trap Made By Former UVA CS Professor (cvilletomorrow.org) · · Score: 1

    As required by law, speed limit is set to the 85th percentile of the operating speed on that road. Looks like that speed sign needs to be changed.

  7. consider the source on FBI Chief Links Video Scrutiny of Police To Rise In Violent Crime (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I would normally just say fu$k this bull$hit, but then I saw it was a NYT piece, a newspaper which has turned into the onion, but without the self awareness.

  8. Clock Issues on Ahmed Mohamed, His Clock, and the Curious Turn of Events · · Score: 1

    The linked analysis posits that Ahmed's clock started out as another clock, rather than a box of parts, and Ahmed can be said to have repackaged rather than "invented" a wholly new clock, but acknowledges that "none of us were there and knows what happened." Yes, because the issue here is who invented the clock... Idiots.

  9. Corporate censorship on Facebook Launches Internet.org Platform and Opens Up To More Developers · · Score: 2

    Up until yesterday Facebook was preventing any posts linking to prospect.org, flagging them as a security threat. You think FB censorship logic will get better once it becomes a ISP?

  10. Re:If it is simple use on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Secure Your Parents' PC? · · Score: 1

    Doing the same for my parents, too. Covers web surfing, skype and youtube videos, which is all of their needs. Does not need to be a tablet, either. There are a couple of 21+" android all-in-one out there.

  11. Re:MS Security Essentials on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Secure Your Parents' PC? · · Score: 2

    As AV, MS offer seems to score pretty badly

  12. More BS on Adrian Lamo Explains His Decision To Expose Bradley Manning · · Score: 1

    "Afghan informants, for instance" Still pushing this bullshit?

  13. keep on hoping on Marijuana Prosecution Not a High Priority, Says Obama · · Score: 5, Informative

    Heard this declaration before, only to be followed by the highest amount of FBI raids on legal dispensaries since 1996.

  14. Twenty minutes over here on The UK's 5-Minute 4G Data Cap · · Score: 1

    Over here, we can take a full 20 minutes to use all of ours unlimited data plan at 12MB/s. (For the non-residents, unlimited has a different definition in the US, usually 2GB a month)

  15. monitoring ip on Following Huawei Report, US Rejects UN Telecom Proposals · · Score: 1

    Instead monitoring traffic on behalf of corporations to find out who's watching the latest 30 Rock without paying Hulu is perfectly acceptable.

  16. Re:Put your money where your mouth is on Microsoft Calls For $5B Investment In U.S. Education · · Score: 1
  17. Put your money where your mouth is on Microsoft Calls For $5B Investment In U.S. Education · · Score: 1

    Apple should start paying its fair share of taxes, and maybe we'll have $5B to invest in education (education not.equal job training)

  18. Universal on Flaw In YouTube Takedown Process Exposed · · Score: 1

    Be careful, you know what happens if you piss off Universal, no matter if you are in the US or NZ.

  19. healthcare, yes on Nano-Scale Terahertz Antenna May Make Tricorders Real · · Score: 1

    "In the not so distant future, every household might have a Star Trek-like tricorder capable of detecting cancer or other diseases." Yes, that's what it will be used for. That, and only that. Sure.

  20. Changing trade relationship on Samoa and Tokelau Are Skipping December 30th · · Score: 1

    Many garments with Made in America labels used to be made in Samoa. Just saying.

  21. water bottling industry on In the EU, Water Doesn't (Officially) Prevent Dehydration · · Score: 1

    Any loss of the water bottling industry is a win for humanity.

  22. fair play on Compiling the WikiLeaks Fallout · · Score: 1

    Like the cop told me the other night: "If you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide. Now, bend over"

  23. tit-for-tat on Compiling the WikiLeaks Fallout · · Score: 1
    Could not have been said better

    "I have a hard time getting worked up about it - a government that views none of my personal correspondence as confidential really can't bitch when this sort of thing happens."

  24. Happy for this on Seagate To Pay Former Worker $1.9M For Phantom Job · · Score: 1

    Hell yeah!
