  1. Browsers are not slow... on Slashdot Asks: Why Are Browsers So Slow? (ilyabirman.net) · · Score: 1

    ...you're just too damn fast!

  2. Re:Islam is anti-freedom on IBM Employees Protest Cooperation With Donald Trump (theintercept.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Because Islam is incompatible with many of them.

    Yup yup, and hardline Christianity isn't. Any religion, when taken to extremes, is antithetical to a country that proclaims religious freedom as one of its cornerstones. Trying to single-out Islam as the problem is nowhere near the solution, it makes you one of them us-vs-them guys that fuels this fire even more.

  3. Re:hey, how about you don't do that on The FBI Is Arresting People Who Rent DDoS Botnets (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Renting a botnet to DoS a site isn't just "stupid shit", this should have consequences.

  4. You realize the Nazis were neither socialist or for the workers right? They were absolute fascists. Having socialist in their name doesn't make them so.

    Currently the party that wants to tell me who I can marry or what bathroom I'm required to use are the Republicans.

  5. Re:I wouldn't work there. on Amazon Worker Jumps Off Company Building After Email Note (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't personally think a willingness to give up one's entire existence should be considered a skill - but maybe that's just me.

    This, THIS, so much this!

  6. Re:If you don't like what they pay, don't drive on Uber Drivers Demand Higher Pay in Nationwide Protest (cnet.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you don't like the system, then work to change it, which is what they're doing.

  7. Re:Everyone's demanding higher pay on Uber Drivers Demand Higher Pay in Nationwide Protest (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    I'm of the opinion that anyone doing full-time work deserves a wage to live on. Meager living fine, but enough for a roof over one's head and food in one's mouth.

  8. Re:Yes. No. Maybe. on Will Trump Protect America's IT Workers From H-1B Visa Abuses? (cio.com.au) · · Score: 1

    Yep, instead he just fucks the working class directly

  9. Re:All for education, but... on US Regulators Seek To Reduce Road Deaths With Smartphone 'Driving Mode' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    Though with any luck within 20 years we'll make stupid a fuel source.

  10. Re:Looking for alternatives on Oracle Buys Dyn DNS Provider (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Been using https://www.zoneedit.com/ for years, although I'm on the cheaper end of the spectrum. Not sure how enterprise-y you need your DNS

  11. Re:The paradox of tolerance [Re:Poor Nazis] on Twitter Suspends American Far-Right Activists' Accounts (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Exist? Perhaps... right to distribution, no way.

  12. Re:how do they know this is the university? on University Bans BitTorrent To Stop Flood of Infringement Notices (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Either companies are honeypotting Bittorrent emissions themselves, which would be entrapment

    Citation please?

  13. The citizens of Canada also implemented the copyright law at the heart of this matter, either directly or indirectly via their elected representatives. The school is only doing what the public has asked of them in this regard.

  14. Re:You might be surprised on What the Trump Win Means For Tech and Science (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    You want to fix this? Get rid of the lawyers. Over half a private practice's gross income is spent on malpractice insurance.

    Some times doctors can't fix the problem and suing them for it sends the costs through the sky.

  15. Steam and multi-platform SDKs like Unity have made some pretty remarkable inroads on Linux gaming these days, much much more so than the Loki days of old.

  16. VoxDay is why on Why Is Science Fiction Snubbed By Literary Awards? (galacticbrain.com) · · Score: 1

    When you have idiots like Vox Day trying to take over genre awards like the Hugo sci-fi almost deserves the bad press it gets, and I say this as a sci-fi fan.

  17. You mean the fact that now no NC municipality can raise the minimum wage above the state-mandated $7.25?

  18. Re:Why stay? on Some Root For a Tech Comeuppance In San Francisco · · Score: 0

    You sound like a dickhead

  19. Re:The Best Technical Guide? on Ask Slashdot: Good Technical Guide To Windows 10? · · Score: 1

    You'd be surprised how many AAA titles are available for Linux on Steam.

  20. My cat pictures will last longer than ever before!

  21. Re: Hoax on US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia Has Died (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Na, he's right, Sanders would be the best thing for us right about now.

  22. Re:No such thing on Adblock Plus Maker Seeks Deal With Ad Industry Players (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    It would be easier to find a unicorn in the wild

  23. Re:Is it the year of the Linux desktop yet? on Intel Gets Called Out Again For Their M.I.A. 3.0 X.Org Driver (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    I know for a fact that Intel employs Jack Vogel to work on the FreeBSD (and possibly Linux) port of their Ethernet drivers, as I've talked to him on their mailing list on more than one occasion. OSS drivers are in no way "special projects" at Intel.

  24. Re:How do I know if a game is worth playing? on Pirates Finding It Harder To Crack New PC Games (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    That's excellent, I had no idea Steam offered that, thanks for the info!
