  1. Read the summary on Man Fined $4,000 For 'Liking' Defamatory Posts on Facebook (cnn.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    Jeez, dude. Forget about RTFA. How about RTFS: Read The Fucking SUMMARY?
    The court in Zurich found that the man indirectly endorsed and further distributed the comments

    Personally, I like the ruling. Slander is slander. Spreading false bullshit should be a punishable civil offense in the US, too.

  2. Re:Trump should send it to the Senete on Elon Musk Joins CEOs Calling For US To Stay in Paris Climate Deal (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    his is about America and what a terrible treaty this would be for America and all Americans

    Yeah, it would be terrible to prevent a few hundred thousand deaths a year. Terrrible.

  3. Re:Would have nothing to do with electric cars... on Elon Musk Joins CEOs Calling For US To Stay in Paris Climate Deal (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    The fact that the diminishing of the treaty may affect world-wide popularity of electric cars would not affect Elon Musk's feelings on the subject. Not at all...

    Any same, intelligent human would prefer electric cars to what we have now.

    Green energy isn't so green when you see this.

    Oh, that's cute. We've got probably 200,000 people dying prematurely from air pollution from auto emissions.

    And if you want to compare apples to apples, Google "Deepwater Horizon".

  5. Re:ESPN? on Bill Simmons Says ESPN Blew It By Not Embracing Tech (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    I wasn't aware that ESPN made a corporate statement about the NC bathroom bill. All I can see if them reporting on it, since the NCAA refused to have championship games there until it was repealed.

    What does an NFL player have to do with ESPN?

    I'm still confused as to what ESPN did to be "aggressively progressive". Were they not supposed to report on NCAA's actions? Were they not supposed to report on the whole not standing during the national anthem thing? Does just reporting facts make an organization "aggressively progressive" in your mind (or the mind of other people)?

    I was asking about concrete examples of what makes a sports TV channel "progressive" or not.

    I don't watch sports at all, so all I know about ESPN is it looks like what people watch in Idiocracy because I see it when I go to some restaurants and bars. What about ESPN is "aggressively progressive"? How can a sports TV channel be "progressive" (or not)?

  8. "What Essential Home is exactly, isn’t clear on Essential Home is an Amazon Echo Competitor That 'Puts Privacy First' (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    From the article: "What Essential Home is exactly, isn’t clear."

    So, why does this article exit, and why is it on Slashdot?

  9. Shit "article" on Security Analyst Concludes Windows 10 Enterprise 'Tracks Too Much' (xato.net) · · Score: 1

    Where's the info? This article is about a Twitter rant, but then has no actual information in it. This was a waste of my time to even look at.

    Because you took their pay while they trained you, and then split. You wasted a ton of their time and money. That's a real dick move.

    $20 million now. $20 billion in 10 years. $200 billion in 20. And it keeps going up.

    What the fuck are you talking about?

    "The bill asks the federal government to set aside $20 million in funding for organizations to use to look at the types of benefits programs individual workers could take with them from job to job."

  15. Yes! You can give away all of your personal information to Apple, Google, and Facebook AT THE SAME TIME. This is unprecedented. The stupid should be ecstatic over this.

  16. Barcodes? on Amazon Brings Its Physical Bookstore To New York (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    So since they track everything people do online, do they also require a barcode tattoo to enter their stores? Maybe an ear tag? Do they require a DNA sample? I'm sure they could ask for any of these things, and multitudes of brain dead people would do it, if only they could save a buck or two.

  17. Sorry to say but only by finding out what the consumer likes... Which can be perceived as invasion of privacy. Please offer a better solution.

    Hey, AC! Ever heard of "Amazon"?

  18. Fuck you, Russian spam bot.

  19. ... I say, "Awesome! This will be incredibly useful for customer tracking!"

    As a consumer, I use cash.

    But we all know that's now how these labels are used. They're weaponized. Had a conservative figurehead said a similar thing about a liberal figurehead, or an actual homosexual, that word would be bandied about like stink at Coachella.

    You're arguing with a scenario that you created in your own mind.

  21. Not an error. A lie. on President Trump's Budget Includes a $2 Trillion Math Error (time.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Like everything else from this administration, it's a lie. We don't have a functioning democracy any more because we don't have an informed public, sadly.

  25. 10% is nothing. Our commercial buildings fluctuate more than that between the seasons. I don't know what you mean by "really huge", but a 10% increase means the bill goes up by 10%, too. Big deal.
