  1. Re:Serious question on GOP Senators' New Bill Would Let ISPs Sell Your Web Browsing Data (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    This dude Flake represents a massive gerrymandered district which encompasses part of phoenix and a huge swath of land to the north and east. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... This bill would not affect most of his constituents as most of them don't even have high speed internet, so he's safe. The question is, who's paying him to introduce this bullshit?

  2. This guy Flake is not a flake, he's a dick.

  3. 'an increase in singletons over that period -- who tend to have less sex than married or partnered peoples" Really?

  5. Roadside billboards? on Curated Advertising Is Coming To Highway Billboards (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    The only place I can think of where I've seen billboards is in Las Vegas. Most of those were for strip clubs. Would there really be a market for these?

    Agreed. What I meant to bring to the table was that people don't kill each other because they have guns. They kill each other because they're willing to do so. We need to change that.

    Sorry, but if someone walks up and shoots you Chicago style, it doesn't matter if you're armed.

    Quite true. Interestingly, both sides try to play the fear card. Everytown says "OMG, can you imagine people carrrying concealed weapons leagally all over the country?" NRA says "OMG can you imagine an evil criminal (or lately, a terrorist) with a gun about to shoot you and you have no gun?" Neither addresses the problem which is there are people out there, for whatever reason, that are willing to kill.

  9. ... Slashdot posts a blog post which is completely ignorant of patent law. It's not just a typical out of office setup.

    Correct. We should instead be posting articles about douchebags like this: https://www.washingtonpost.com...

  13. Is it too soon? on False News, Absurd Reality Present Challenges For Satirists (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Is it too soon to talk about the Bowling Green Massacre? So many lives lost. Trump will avenge us.

  15. Fire on Ransomware Infects a Hotel's Key System (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I can understand people being locked out of their rooms. But if they're being locked in they're in massive violation of fire safety laws.

    I can't stand the captchas where I can't possibly read what the fuck the letter/number/??? is.

    the CC in CCTV means closed circuit. Clearly that's not the case here.

  18. Tesla employees in the U.S. around 25,000. Target employees about 347,000. Walmart at least 1.4 million. Tesla hiring a few thousand more people sounds super but it's time to get real.

  22. And general dipshits.

  23. The title of the WP article is not the Slashdot title. The title of the WP article. is "Russian operation hacked a Vermont utility, showing risk to U.S. electrical grid security, officials say". Slashdot is becoming Reddit.

  24. Good luck with a VPN.
