  1. Why? on Ask Slashdot: Are AdBlock's Days Numbered? · · Score: 2

    I never understand this. It's obvious to anybody with 2 IQ points to rub together that somebody who employees adblocking software IS NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR FUCKING PRODUCTS. How, then, by going around his blocks and stuffing this shit in front of his eyes do you believe that suddenly he will be unable to resist your ad. He will resist your ad and will only get even more pissed about your company. Is this really a wise thing for you to do?!?

    Finally some common sense!

    So I guess you're also against HUDs like I had in my last two cars.

    Have you seen what distractions cops drive around with?!?

    Seems to me the only idiot here is you!

  4. Meltdown... on Man Jailed For Refusing To Reveal USB Password · · Score: 1

    I've always thought that encryption software should offer a meltdown password such that when entered, instead of decrypting the data it erases it. So when you want to get into your encrypted drive you enter "sesame" but when the authorities which to get your password you enter say "meltdown" (or rather you tell them your password is "meltdown") and they enter it only to find the drive has been hosed. Then you shrug your shoulders and say "I thought that drive was on it's last legs....".

  5. Re:IANAL, but... on Silicon Valley Workers May Pursue Salary-Fixing Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Bullshit. Go work for any of a thousand other companies or start your own business. You are pushing a false dichotomy.

  6. Re:Collusion, in tech? on Silicon Valley Workers May Pursue Salary-Fixing Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    If it complies with the law then how's it a scam? Also, if you don't think the law is correct then the bone you have to pick is with the government - not the employers.

  7. You may be in trouble! on Ask Slashdot: What To Do With Misdirected Email? · · Score: 1

    You're in a deep load of shit if the email contains:

    I mean it's like strictly prohibited and you should delete this e-mail from your system and whatever you do you should not disseminate, distribute or copy this e-mail under penalty of death apparently!

    I usually respond with "Make me! :-p" but I'd really love to find a web site where I can post these...

  8. Bullshit. Pick up a phone and call and talk to your family and friends in a human way for a change! Jeeze we didn't used to have Facebook and guess what - nobody died nor suffered.

    Bullshit! As somebody who always moves around rarely does my driver's license have my correct address. There's nothing illegal about that.

    If you aren't making the "big bucks" then sorry that's because you ain't that good.

  12. Re:Something is wrong on Bill Gates Regains the Position of World's Richest Person · · Score: 1

    WFT?!? How can you say that with a straight face? You say you have nothing against the rich except of course that they make to much money. You bestow upon something that doesn't exist and that you don't identify ("the system") as if it has bestowed wealth onto an individual and has agency. Nothing could be further from the truth. People make money because they produce value, value that other people gladly part with their wealth to attain. Nobody's holding guns to anybody's heads and forcing them to part with their hard earned cash. Everybody purchases *willingly*.

    And you provide absolutely no fucking evidence nor reason why it should be anything else other than presumably you just don't like it. Well who the fuck are you? Obviously somebody who has failed in his own wealth creating efforts.

  13. Re:Land of the free on US DOJ Say They Don't Need Warrants For E-Mail, Chats · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Because it's difficult to understand and difficult to use and most people don't know and don't care about encryption. You don't need to put on your beany hat and start conspiracy theories with men in black SUVs - I tried to use encryption and by and large the people I tried it with were nothing but confused and couldn't see the value in it.

  14. Caught with your pants down on Google's Punishment? Lecture Those They Snooped On · · Score: 1

    Google didn't "steal" anything. You left your proverbial dick out of your pants - Google pointed and laughed at you and now you're embarrassed. That's totally different than breaking into a network.

  15. Re:This Is Beyond Inane & Changes Nothing on Lew Rockwell: Ron Paul Not Using the State or UN to Control RonPaul.Com · · Score: 1

    You need to understand how capitalism works WRT how trademarks work. Ron Paul's name is trademarked. Trademark law dictates that you must defend your trademarks or you lose them. If he loses them then he stands to lose a lot more in terms of books, speaking fees, etc. While ronpaul.com may be benign right now there is no guarantee that it will remain that way. So, he must defend his trademark. I see nothing wrong, nor non-libertarian in this action. In a truly libertarian world this might be different. But you have to work in the context of the system that you find yourself in.

  16. Re:Kids on Six Months Without Adobe Flash, and I Feel Fine · · Score: 1

    WTF man! What can you do with a shitload of money? You can spend it to do things and explore the world. You can give to those in need. You can do a ton of stuff. The only thing the guy was saying to not spend it on was kids. Everything fucking other thing is open for you to spend it on. When then do you pull the bullshit of being a Scrooge?!? Are you really that dumb of a fuck? Some people don't want to be parents you nimrod and there's nothing wrong with that!

    That's completely asinine! Leave commented code because the code you write to replace it will be shit. Well maybe the code you write to replace it will be shit but not the code that I write to replace it. Besides we're not talking about the code that remains - we're talking about code that's been deleted. Often that code is shit and should go - period.

    "The larger the number of genes required, the more susceptible we are as a species to random genetic events that reduce our intellectual and emotional fitness." There's your problem. You assume random genetic events reduce our intellectual and emotional fitness. Such event can do both harm and good. That's how evolution works.
