  1. needs to be slapped with a restraining order by HHS

    Yeah, that's not going to happen.

  2. Re:Betteridge Answers for Us on Slashdot Asks: Should Android OEMs Adopt the iPhone's Notch? · · Score: 1

    Instead we are paying $1k for a "flagship" phone that doesn't really do much more than that $300 phone 4 years ago.

    Speak for yourself. I personally think somebody's got to be a little thick to pay $1000 for a cell phone, unless it does something that makes that much an impact on their lives in some meaningful way. From what I can tell, most people use their phones primarily as entertainment devices.

    Why the fuck does every consumer drone think that the whole world buys the same stupid shit that they do? I've never seen an iPhone "notch", and I don't know anybody who fetishizes their phones enough to go out of their way to explain to me the wonder of the "notch". It sounds like you might need to get your head out of Apple's ass. I still have no idea what the "notch" is.

  4. Re:Finally, following one best practice. on YouTube Will Increase Security At All Offices Worldwide Following Shooting (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    People who make/made money off of making videos should consider themselves lucky for the money they got, and get themselves a real job. It's not Youtube's fault that some really, truly, profoundly stupid people thought they were somehow *entitled* to be paid money for making stupid videos.

    Then, why don't all those surrounding and free states have horrible gun deaths and mass shootings all the time?

    They do.

    It is political. This is the only modern country in the world where this happens anywhere near this frequently, and it happens because of politics.

    That wasn't the question. The question is how is it possible that CA have gun violence despite having some gun control laws. The answer is because people buy guns elsewhere and drive, walk, crawl, bicycle, or otherwise cross the state lines.

    Yes, you directly compared murdering people with guns to antagonizing people with terms of service.

    It's just stupidity all around. People shouldn't shoot up offices and schools, and corporations should refrain from antagonizing people.

    Fuck you. That's never a justification for violence. Ever.

    Hahahahahahahahaha.... They're protecting their revenue stream, as you said. It has nothing to do with privacy.

  18. These are features that Instagram should have been providing already instead of leading to a data broker-friendly situation.

    The data brokers are their customers. That's who they want to be friendly to. They couldn't give two shits about the users, so long as the users keep giving them all of their data for free.

    A consumer isn't liable for credit card fraud. A new credit card number is trivial to get (call number on back of card. report stolen).

    We're doing it. We're a small business that uses some in-house servers. But, we'd rather not have to manage them and deal with (very very very rare) hardware problems. We're moving our business rule software into Azure, with local redundant servers for when the Internet goes down. It also eliminates the need to tie all of our locations together via (occasionally fragile) VPN's.

    Right. Somehow, our business has been doing well for the past 15 years using MS stuff. It sounds like there might be some pretty poor management in your company (if it exists) that can't handle Windows workstations.

    But, somehow I doubt that this little story is even real.
