  2. slashdot really has taken a nosedive. I blame 911.

  3. But Americans don't want that, they want to be lied to. They don't want to hear that we created ISIS, or that the USA is detested because we've meddled in their regional affairs and killed people's kids. Or that the USA supports murderous regimes and horrific Islamic violence in countries like Saudi Arabia. Nope, everybody is too busy covering their ears shouting USA USA USA.

  4. Re:What are they thinking? on Islamic State Claims Responsibility for Paris Attacks; Death Toll At 127 · · Score: 1

    They believe they are the chosen people, like the Jews do. They intend to bring about Armageddon, like the Christians do. They believe they'll take back Israel, like the Jews have. They believe Jesus will then come back, like the Christians do. They will then install their own caliphate. It's not that difficult to understand, and the only people making it out to be inconceivable are other religious liars who share the same goals and intentions. Also, we helped put them in power, so pretty much all the bullshit from the right here is just more of the same arms industry profiteering that's made this country loathed and detested around the world. The United States is an embarrassment of epic proportions. We have plenty of Christians here that hold similar psychotic beliefs. We have GOP candidates that attend religious conferences hosted by religious leaders who call for the execution of gay people. The rampant lying and hypocrisy is only surpassed by the profiteering.

    And you personally let them. Nobody said unions could preform miracles. You have to make some sort of effort, instead of laying around on your lazy ass waiting for someone else to take car of you. Idiot anon.

    IT people waited too long, that ship has sailed. They kind of deserve it for not bothering to organize 20 years ago.

    in this article. SOME people called "Engineers" those things apply to; but not most, by far.

    Changing a title doesn't resolve underlying complaints. Failing to address the underlying issues simply perpetuates them. Simply changing what you call yourself is stupid and cheap.

  17. It's a pretty major fuckup on Greenland Ice Sheet Not Covered In Soot · · Score: 1

    ...to not know those sensors were degrading, and just goes to show that much of whats passed off as "science" is actually social manipulation.

    Normally, when someone makes dire claims, and is incompetently wrong, there's some sort of consequences for the people making the claims.

    I doubt this incident will sway many people, as people in general tend towards a childish conformity, and the internet helps maintain that with the same tired crap as always; superstition, fear, and rage.

  18. Exactly, for all the commentators professing an interest in people's privacy being usurped it's remarkable to me that those same people remarking seem to be oblivious to the fact that a great deal of court misinformation is already readily available on-line, and in a deceptive manner. I guess the privacy of the truly innocent isn't as important to them as the privacy of the guilty.

  19. Re: Multinationals have no country on US Tech Giants Increasingly Partner With Military-Connected Chinese Companies · · Score: 2

    THIS, a thousand times, THIS.

    Ignorance is not an excuse, and the bulk of remarks here about China ARE based on sheer ignorance.

    The US isn't "just as bad" as China. The ONLY people saying that are the Chinese apologists and the stupid.

    The US has harmed itself, severely, by permitting US corporations so much control of our government. That's how the Chinese have essentially bought their way into respect, despite not being deserving of it. And int he process they put Americans out of work, and bought-up US companies.

    It's idiotic that we permitted it, but it's been over a decade now of that shit and we pretty much deserve what's coming.

  20. Re:I know that lab very well on Crime Lab Scandals Just Keep Getting Worse (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    To me it's most disturbing that the buck has for the most part stopped with her. Sure, what she and some others int eh state crime lab did was fraudulent. But they churned-out results for the Mass State Police. Results that the Mass State Police obviously liked for years. The Mass State Police were responsible for oversight and verification and validation. They get a pass because of one uncomfortable fact that people in the USA are going to need to deal with eventually. The fact that :

    THE POLICE ARE A CRIMINAL CLASS.

  21. Conservatives will lie about this on Finland Begins To Shape Basic Income Proposal (yle.fi) · · Score: 1

    Like they do about everything, I look forward to the fanciful bullshit they'll spew about Finland. They have to, since this is a historic event that proves almost every ideal Conservativism is based on is superstition, lies, and lowest common denominator appeals.

    I'd respect Conservatives a little more if they weren't such whores for the ultra rich, the warmongers and arms peddlers, and the overt liars, i.e., religious people.

  22. Re:Smart move. on Finland Begins To Shape Basic Income Proposal (yle.fi) · · Score: 1

    Yet one can not help noticing that all you're doing is whining; that you've offered zero "rational basis" for disagreement.

    That Conservatives do this now with such frequency is an indication how utterly intellectually bankrupt their positions are.

    Not that I necessarily agree with everything liberal, one thing is pretty obvious though - conspiracy theory bullshit by and large is predominantly a conservative thing. Own it, it's yours.

    And that observation confirms the problem with government.

    The peons doing the work are obviously not calling the shots and essentially stealing from the taxpayer. It's the corporate entities and the politicians who kiss their ass who are responsible for the massive waste and fraud. And they are rarely held accountable.

    Spending 30 minutes with an OS that's two versions ahead of the one you're currently using is hardly enough time or effort to adequately judge it.

    Touch interfaces are here to stay, deal with it, and grow up. Expecting an OS UI to remain the same after a decade when a new input device is everywhere now, is just dumb.

    That being said, Windows 10 is pretty easy to make feel and look like 7; I manage to do it for all my more brittle and more or less lazy customers.

    The whole left-right thing is tired and hypocritical.

    If you're going to make blanket statements like that about who actively suppresses free speech, you should attempt to back them up with something substantial. Because most people that read your shit just look at it and dismiss you as a anon troll.

    Which is what you are.
