  1. Re:You couldn't make enough on It's Time To Admit Apple Watch Is a Success (imore.com) · · Score: 1

    Wow, this is like a textbook post on entitled nerd rage. Guy doesn't need downvotes, they'll be using this comment in classrooms for decades. Mod up!

  2. Re:Easy answer on Ask Slashdot: A Point of Contention - Modern User Interfaces · · Score: 1

    What's so difficult about iOS?

  3. Re:Meaningless on The Doomsday Clock Is Reset: Closest To Midnight Since The 1950s (npr.org) · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Those of us that grew up under the constant pressure of instant annihilation from nuclear attack just don't get worked up over climate change that much.

    Sez you. I'd much rather have gone out in the 80s with a 45 minute warning and instant annihilation than deal with the decades of increasing shit that global warming's gonna deliver.

    For those who still really don't get it: Imagine the Syria refugee crisis, only repeat it every few years with larger and larger numbers. No thanks.

    Cheeto Mussolini has always worked well for me,.

  5. buttmad

    Grandpa, leave the slang to the kids, you suck at it. Nice lawn, though.

  6. Re:More of that small, local govt freedom on Virginia 'Broadband Deployment Act' Would Kill Municipal Broadband Deployment (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    To be fair, letting corporations run everything is technically "smaller government". Republicans might be stupid, but they are consistent.

  7. Re:I'd listen to more of my purchased music... on Streaming Now Officially the Number One Way We Listen to Music in America (pitchfork.com) · · Score: 1

    Which is a crying shame since the reason to use it in the first place (or more technically, its predecessor, Soundjam) was the clean, easy to use interface.

  8. Afraid of a tax-spanking

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, no. Trump or the GOP aren't going to be raising anyone's taxes or levying any import fees. Makes for a cute story though.

  9. Not rocket science on The Loyalty To AMD's GPU Product Among AMD CPU Buyers Is Decreasing (parsec.tv) · · Score: 2

    AMD CPUs are awesome.

    AMD GPUs, not so much.

  10. Re:Yes, yes, let the hate flow through you on Twitter Is 'Toast' and the Stock Is Not Even Worth $10, Says Analyst (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    Because investors are essentially a small step up from little old ladies feeding quarters into a slot machine?

  11. Re:I can hear crying on Twitter Is 'Toast' and the Stock Is Not Even Worth $10, Says Analyst (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    Seeing as how he's already fucking up relations between the US and China, as well as 'saving' 700 jobs from Carrier, apparently not.

  12. Die, you misbegotten fucking idiots, die!

    Seriously though, they'll be using BB as a textbook example of how to completely miss an emerging market for decades to come.

  13. Re: Prediction on Pentagon: Chinese Ship Captures US Underwater Drone Fom Sea (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    A glaring absence of safety regulations will do that to you.

  14. Re: And on January 21... on Businesses May No Longer Sue Customers Over Negative Reviews (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 0

    Democrats: don't hurt people's feelings, 1st amendment be damned.

    This is literally the exact opposite of what's happening here. But don't let that go spoiling your little mantra...

  15. Re:Oh please... on Businesses May No Longer Sue Customers Over Negative Reviews (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    Yelp is a glorified e-racketeer that collects extortion fees from small businesses the world over.

    Please elucidate.

  16. Re:There was a reason it was so cheap on Uber Appeals Against Ruling that Its UK Drivers Are Workers (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    Those who have any brains at Uber intend to build up the business and sell out because they know their fortune cannot last.

    I wish that were the case, but from my understanding, Uber is just trying to establish dominance in ride-sharing before automated cars get major approval. Then they can dispense with all these drivers and keep all the money.

  17. Re:Enormous breech of security on Uber Defends Privacy Practices After Allegations It Spies On Riders (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I'd think twice about using Uber if I were a person with a lot of money or power.

    Seems kind of stupid. Rich & powerful people don't even think once about Uber.

  18. Re:Welcome to the Trump future... on US Life Expectancy Declines For the First Time Since 1993 (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Religious whackjobs from different religions are still religious whackjobs. News at 11.

  19. Re:Pro Bono? on Lawyer Sues 20-Year-Old Student Who Gave a Bad Yelp Review, Loses Badly (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Filing documents and other case-related expenses are not free, but the lawyer's time is.

  20. Re: Don't give him ideas on Trump Will Get Power To Send Unblockable Mass Text Messages To All Americans (nymag.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I dunno about Android, but iphones have a night mode that's highly configurable. Calls and texts you want make noise and the rest doesn't.

  21. Re:Where to now? on Verizon Workers Can Now Be Fired If They Fix Copper Phone Lines (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, you know what they say: You wake up one morning and run into a douchebag, he's just a douchebag. You keep running into douchebags all day long, maybe you're the douchebag.

  22. Re:The Internet on Julian Assange: All That Malware On Wikileaks Isn't a Big Deal (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Except for Fox News, which no one will believe, no media will actually release any dirt on any Democratic candidate or organization.

    Provably false if you've read a newspaper in the last 25 years.

  23. what do we say about certain Slashdot users and their toxic posts?

    That concentrating boomer/gen x white nerds into one place makes for hilarious reading?

  24. LOL, slavery is literally the needs of the few outweighing the needs of the many. Lay off the crack pipe son.

  25. Don't make it any less sad.
