  1. Re:in short on How President Trump Could Destroy Net Neutrality (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Trump is a business man, those other business men are his competitors not his friends. At that end of town there are no friends just acquaintances and temporary partnerships. Reality is, for Trump business ventures Net Neutrality is a huge plus and as such it would be really dumb to cripple his and his families future business interests. We have seen the corruption, only 0.0001 percent of business profit with an absence of net neutrality, where as 99.999 percent of business profit with net neutrality. Smart business choice is net neutrality is good for the majority of business and only a tiny handful of business profit from it absence.

Show some courage, show just a tiny bit of backbone and vote third party for a change.

Walk up to the voting booth and show you are a real person and not just a gullible fool and vote either The Libertarians or The Greens, make your mark in this election. I think Doctor Jill Stein is the best candidate in this particular race, I would say head and shoulders above the other two choices but that would be quite the under statement. Vote you conscience, don't vote FUD, fear, uncertainty, doubt, vote like you got a pair, whether that be testicles or ovaries. So walk up to that machines, push The Greens button and watch as the hacked device flips it to Clinton, you people are fucked and are not choosing anything, you are participating in an idiotic charade and you allowed it to happen.

Did Ballmer win for taking credit for other people's efforts, did Ballmer win for blaming others for his own mistakes, as far as Ballmer is concerned, he is rich, he won, everyone else is stupid for no recognising his true genius at lying, cheating and stealing (and in every other way fucking up ie MSN is a major fuck up). We are the ones who should be ashamed for allowing a society that functions around that psychopathic deceit.

All this upon the basis of donations to the Clinton Foundation, which uses the money as payoffs for those who have arranged payments to the Clinton family, hundreds of millions of dollars churning over in a pay to play scam. All that and all you can see is the security classification issues, what the fuck. Now remember those sex slavers, how many under-age girls or boys (we have all heard, the US fucking government reported it, they just forget the fucking part where it is US arms and munitions facilitating it, sold with the approval of the US government), got tired of it and killed themselves, prophetic words from the corporate whore Hillary Clinton, if all you can see is the security issue, than you people are truly sick and no longer a human society.

Supply them to terrorists, not a problem, let sex slavers use them to take over towns and cities leading to a million rapes (let them kill themselves till they tire of it - Hillary Clinton, I guess that's what those under age sex slaves do, tire of it and them kill themselves, no excuse the corporate whore knew exactly what was going on and still allowed arms and munitions to be sold for exactly that purpose), not a problem.

Why the fuck bend over and just take it, when you can do something about it, don't win, so the fuck what, at least you tried and annoyed the crap out the arse holes in the interim and nothing stops you from continuing to try, year in and year out.

  17. Now from the geek side, who could have named his wireless network what ever the fuck he wanted to, including cock sucker mother fucking cunt, all he had to do was turn of SSID broadcasting.

People turn off network ID broadcast and that should be the default (that broadcasting of the name will always be legally problematic). That's right all of you, that haven't done so, log into your firewall router wireless modem, get into configuration settings and hide SSID and one other I just checked on, turn on client isolation (isolates wireless from wired)

  18. Technically those stories are extremely stupid if Apple is putting them out because basically they are mocking their customers. Those profits do not come from the air, they do not come from other companies and they do not come from non-Apple customers, those profits all come from the pockets of Apple customers, they more they pay for the less they get, the more profit Apple makes. If a customer does not make a effort to cut back the profits of their suppliers, than that customer is a fool. Paying more for something than what reasonable profit margins should allow is just bloody stupid.

  20. Gees dude wake up to yourself. There are similar rules for things like hot water services (most people don't know that because big kaboom if pressurised vessel explode due to defective pressure release valve, heating water makes it expand) or cars or planes. Basically recall goes out, you are bound by law to be a part of that recall or the device can no longer be used. They tie those rules to provision of service. You can not hook up a recalled hot water service to the water supply, you can not drive a defective vehicle on public roads and you can not fly a defective plane over public or over other people's land, there are also rules for hooking up appliances to the electrical grid. As such you can no longer hook Note7 to the mobile network because of the mobile risk you present. Grow the fuck up, you are not God, you are just another mud monkey and no matter how stupid you might want to be you are not allowed to put the other mud monkeys at risk, even should they want to be just as idiotic as you. So good move my the New Zealand government, New Zealand telecoms and Samsung.

  21. Germany can not sue because the German government itself is criminally negligent because they can block it if they want to. Hence for Germany to sue Facebook, Germany must also sue itself. The German government chose not to block Facebook and hence the German government itself is liable. Facebook for all of it's many, many faults is quite simply an open broadcaster of the content created by others and it is the Germans along with the German government who choose to import that content as well as creating it's own internally. Every government faces the exact same issue. They can force it to be blocked by local service providers and until they do, they are more liable than the open broadcasters. The German government allows Facebook in, their choice, they are just as liable as Facebook. Technically first they have to strive to block Facebook and then they can try to sue Facebook for trying to get around those blocks.

    Facebook should also declare on their homepage and as part of their sign up, that only 'Opinions' are allowed and Facebook is only an 'Opinion' social media site and in the most humorous fashion state categorically that no facts are allowed (technically already true for the majority of ads they show, they just lie about that). There is a real difference between, saying that I hate Germans (not true by the way) or saying that Germans should be hated ( again not true by the way, don't want the Germans to sue me or 'hmm' Slashdot ;D).
