  1. Welfare program ends in explosion. on Messenger's Mercury Trip Ends With a Bang, and Silence · · Score: -1

    What a waste of money.

  2. Re: Energy storage in the grid is 100% efficient! on The Myth of Going Off the Power Grid · · Score: -1

    This isn't a sci-fi novel, futurist boy.

  3. Re:How Many Features? on Google Rolls Out VP9 Encoding For YouTube · · Score: -1

    Just set your user agent to iPad or iPhone and YouTube will magically become h.264 and HTML5 -ified.

  4. Re:Wake up American's on Consumer Groups Bemoan Google's "Deceptive" Ads for Kids In FTC Complaint · · Score: -1

    "All the other kids" do not have a fucking phone. Kids do not need cell phones any more today than they did in 1930. Parents who allow their kids to have cell phones should be roped and spayed and / or neutered. What kind of doltish parent even considers giving their kids a phone? And what sort of moron falls for the "daddy doesn't love me" trick?

    No wonder the world is going to shit.

  5. What a good way for the Mafia to locate a witness. on Ask Slashdot: Identifying a Stolen Car Using Police Camera Databases? · · Score: 0

    You've really hit on an interesting method to crowd-source the task of finding the guy your bosses are going to kill. At least that's one possibility for a post like this, right?

  6. Those assholes with their cake... on Apple's Tim Cook Calls Out "Religious Freedom" Laws As Discriminatory · · Score: -1

    By forcing people to engage in business with a client they would rather not have, we have crossed the line and no longer have freedom of association. Note that in the Constitution there is no "but not if you are in business" clause.

    All the angst and hand wringing in the world won't change the fact that those assholes and their cake have caused enormous waves of dissent.

    Maybe we can finally get rid of the whole idea of protected classes this time around and have equality for real.

  7. All it takes is a National Security Letter on To Avoid NSA Interception, Cisco Will Ship To Decoy Addresses · · Score: -1

    All it takes is a National Security Letter and Cisco is putting a backdoor in every router it makes, then shipping all the ones destined for surveillance targets to the NSA BEFORE they ship to the dead drop.

    This is just a theater act designed to make the surveillance targets relax.

  8. Lots of us older folks carry a gun and would have no problem Treyvoning your ass.

    Kids these days.

  9. Usenet is better and works on any Droid version. on Who's Afraid of Android Fragmentation? · · Score: -1

    Wow, another innocent conversation - or is it a paid promotion? Used to be that Slashdot told us when they were promoting something.

    Come on over / back to Usenet. comp.misc is the new Slashdot. No silly Rob videos, no silly paid promotions.

    Eternal September offers FREE usenet access so take advantage of this and post today!

  10. Re:They can start with Epstein and Andrew! on Anonymous Asks Activists To Fight Pedophiles In 'Operation Deatheaters' · · Score: -1

    How do you know they are script kiddies and not a bunch of US Cyber Command types in an official DOD facility?

    Anyway glad somebody else sees this too. Anonymous is the NSA /CIA.

  11. They can start with Epstein and Andrew! on Anonymous Asks Activists To Fight Pedophiles In 'Operation Deatheaters' · · Score: -1

    Doubt they will, though, because Anonymous at its heart is just the non-official cover for the NSA.

  12. He will be killed in prison to send a message... on Barrett Brown, Formerly of Anonymous, Sentenced To 63 Months · · Score: -1

    He will be killed in prison to send a message. This is just how we roll in the USA.

  13. Re:This is one of the reasons.... on Surface RT Devices Won't Get Windows 10 · · Score: -1

    Actually, Apple started developing the iPad not long after Steve returned to Apple, and at his request. The phone idea was only considered after several iPad prototypes were constructed and tested.

    When the iPad was actually introduced, it was by Steve himself. Go watch the video on YouTube if you don't believe me.

  14. Re:Nostalgic for Windows 7? on Microsoft Ends Mainstream Support For Windows 7 · · Score: -1

    BYOD is gonna kill your little Windows-loving gold-bricking ass dead.

  15. Re:Makes sense. on Google Throws Microsoft Under Bus, Then Won't Patch Android Flaw · · Score: -1

    "Well, technically, phones never got software updates - updates are a relatively new thing."

    Phones that might *need* updates are a relatively new thing. This is hardly an excuse though.

    Let's continue the conversation on comp.misc on Usenet. It's the new Slashdot, but without Timothy's inflammatory subs.

  16. Re:Turn on FileVault on First OSX Bootkit Revealed · · Score: -1

    You simply take out your sidearm and shoot them as they sneak up and attempt to plug their Thunderbolt hacking gadget in. After all, your computer isn't sitting there unlocked all day is it? If it is, they don't need this exploit at all.

  17. Re:Why do I want to upgrade? on Is Kitkat Killing Lollipop Uptake? · · Score: -1

    Get the fuck outta here you stupid Google "UX" "designer."

    Come on over to Usenet's comp.misc and we'll give you a reaming you'll not soon forget. Bring some of the Gnome 3 guys with you and we'll really beat the unholy shit out of the lot of you.

  18. Re:In other words ... on Unbundling Cable TV: Be Careful What You Wish For · · Score: -1

    The cable companies ARE entitled to the revenue. This isn't a "utility" service. It's entertainment. They charge an amount that assures them maximum revenue.

    Usenet is the new Slashdot on comp.misc so come over there with your communistical views.

  19. Capacity is not fungible... on AMD, Nvidia Reportedly Tripped Up On Process Shrinks · · Score: -1

    Come to Usenet's comp.misc where you'll never have to see another Bennett post ever again.

  20. Tired of Rob's poo-butt Slashvertisements? on What's the Future of Corporate IT and ITSM? (Video) · · Score: 0

    Come on down to Usenet - Eternal September gives free accounts, and comp.misc is the new old Slashdot. Free from Rob!

  21. Re:It's time on Marissa Mayer's Reinvention of Yahoo! Stumbles · · Score: -1

    There are many defense and intelligence nitwits on the board of Yahoo (and Google) so it'll stay around because doubtless there is some national security / Gestapo spy value in the property.

  22. Re:Don't laugh... on Peter Sunde: the Pirate Bay Should Stay Down · · Score: -1

    YouTube has all the soaps, within an hour or two of their airing in the eastern time zone.

    We moved to a rural mountain area with no broadcast TV and I refuse to pay for what amounts to utter shit. However my wife watches GH and it's practically her only vice so we had to figure something out. Turns out somebody already did.

  23. Re:Comcast Business Class on Comcast Sued For Turning Home Wi-Fi Routers Into Public Hotspots · · Score: -1

    Easy - open the modem / router thingy and snip the wires leading to the antenna. Solder a big resistor on there instead.
