  1. Perfect information myth on Fewer Than Half of Young Americans Are Positive About Capitalism (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    This is wrong.

  2. Errr. What is MDI?

  3. This is truly innovative copying of screens from the Amiga Workbench circa 1985. Good job, Microsoft!

  4. Re:Yes! on EPA Proposes Limits To Science Used In Rulemaking (reuters.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    Yep. Secret science means the EPA can target anyone they don't like, regardless of legitimate environmental issues.

  5. Re:How about a coinless currency? on A Cryptocurrency Without a Blockchain Has Been Built To Outperform Bitcoin (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 2

    Stop asking questions and just give us your money. It will be fine.

  6. Re:WAT? Windows? Easy to maintain? on Linux Pioneer Munich Confirms Switch To Windows 10 (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    It's cute that you think these corporate environment users are doing all these things instead of browsing E-bay and Amazon.

  7. 20% slower? on Linux Has a USB Driver Security Problem (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Really? That seems like a lot.

  8. Re: "This could lead to an improved user experienc on System76 Pop!_OS Beta Ubuntu-based Linux Distribution Now Available To Download (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, it's System76, so everything will work in Linux.

  9. Awesome! Now do it with Teslas! on Elon Musk Releases Supercut of SpaceX Rocket Explosions (hardocp.com) · · Score: 0

  10. "I have no idea how this isn't +5."

    Well, the last time I had mod points, I wasted them on comments in a post announcing the invention of the telegraph so don't expect much modding from me.

  11. Re:That org is garbage on Snapchat Wanted $150K To Not Run NRA Ads On Gun Control Group Videos (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't believe you. Say anything you want.

  12. Re:That org is garbage on Snapchat Wanted $150K To Not Run NRA Ads On Gun Control Group Videos (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 2

    If the Liberals are not trying to "take our guns" why did DC v. Heller and Chicago v. McDonald go all the way to the US Supreme Court? Were DC and Chicago all for gun ownership and everyone was just confused? It's not that Liberals are going to take our guns; they already have!

  13. Re:That org is garbage on Snapchat Wanted $150K To Not Run NRA Ads On Gun Control Group Videos (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 2

    For all the times that fearless murderers ambush armed victims regardless of the mortal risks to themselves and kill "Chicago style," you have a point. As for the other 99.9% of the time...

  14. Re:That org is garbage on Snapchat Wanted $150K To Not Run NRA Ads On Gun Control Group Videos (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 0

    I wish I had moderator points. :(

  15. Northeastern Liberals on UN Climate Change Panel: It's Happening, and It's Almost Entirely Man's Fault · · Score: 1

    So, this means it's time to force the northeastern liberals to move somewhere with a warmer climate, like Mexico, to help cut heating related CO2 emissions? It's for the planet, right??? (To the indignant northeastern liberals who are going to reply to me, yes, it takes more energy to heat a home from 30F to 70F than to air condition a 70F room in a 95F environment.)

  16. Re: and? on Free Broadband For NYC Public Housing? · · Score: 1

    Are ya SURE it's an "either or" kinda deal?

  17. Re:Why so slow? on Test-Driving a $35 Firefox OS Smartphone · · Score: 1

    Anything Firefoxy is surely bloated... I think you can't compile and link Firefox 32bit natively anymore because the linker needs more than 4Gigs...

  18. Carbs not needed on Low-Carb Diet Trumps Low-Fat Diet In Major New Study · · Score: 1

    You really don't need any carbs at all.

  19. Re: What's so American on Net Neutrality Is 'Marxist,' According To a Koch-Backed Astroturf Group · · Score: 1

    Your logic is surely as good as your punctuation, grammar, and capitalization skills...

  20. Re:What's so American on Net Neutrality Is 'Marxist,' According To a Koch-Backed Astroturf Group · · Score: 0, Troll

    I can't believe the only non-sheep post here was modded as a troll. Good grief, people! Wake up! The FCC and FEC are going to make it illegal to criticize incumbent politicians on the internet and most of the Slashdotters will cheer them on every step of the way. "Give government full control of the internet! We'll protect you from slow speeds! (And free speech, and porn, and satire, etc.)"

    If your ISP is giving you bad service, grow a pair of f***ing balls and drop the service! Stop running to your mommy!

  21. McCain Feingold on Study Finds US Is an Oligarchy, Not a Democracy · · Score: 1

    It's kinda funny that the people who rage about the Citizens United decision can't grasp that when Democrats and Republicans work so diligently together their goal is to protect incumbents. It should have been called the McCain-Feingold Incumbent Protection Act.

  22. Re:Are you kidding on Study Finds US Is an Oligarchy, Not a Democracy · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Name ANY supporter of free market capitalism that supports or condones the sale of laws or people. You can't. In the USA, only the Democrats have done this.

  23. Re:Maybe they could delay them more? on Gnome 3.12 Delayed To Sync With Wayland Release · · Score: 1

    Thanks.

  24. Re:Maybe they could delay them more? on Gnome 3.12 Delayed To Sync With Wayland Release · · Score: 1

    What is MATE? (Yes, I realize it might be a sore subject on Slashdot.)

  25. Eco-terrorists! on New England Burns Jet Fuel To Keep Lights On · · Score: 1

    Why do we let these eco-terrorists even live so far north where they have to burn up all the world's fuel? It's not like any of these people are actual lumberjacks who need to live there. They might as well be eating spotted owls on rye bread with mayo!
