  1. Re:Just show me all the comments. Fuck the voting. on New Study Finds That Most Redditors Don't Actually Read the Articles They Vote On (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    "When I use a discussion site like Reddit, or Hacker News, or Slashdot, or Stack Overflow, I want to see all comments by default.

    I don't care about what score they've been given by a bunch of arbitrary moderators or other users.

    I want to make up my own mind by seeing the comments for myself. I'll judge them on my own.

    Sites like those, and this one, would be a lot better without the pointless moderating/voting systems they have."

    Especially sites like Reddit and HackerNews with their utter cowardice in the form of shadowbanning users. Paul Graham and Alexis Ohanian are probably two of the biggest cowards on this planet because of their practices coming from their ultra-sensitive bullied since childhood personalities. Thinnest-skinned of all the geeks, and horrible excuses for American citizens.

    Wet Platinum would disagree with you, there.

  4. For a MUSIC player, AIMP2. (Not AIMP3, it sucks.)

  5. "My company now deletes virtually all email after 3 months, to better manage storage resources and adhere to best practices for retention."

    So if your company is a public company, you're in violation of Sec 802(a)(1) and 802(a)(2) Sarbanes-Oxley data retention laws!

    "The sonic echo chambering is what is what made people stop using it"

    And SJWs are the masters of echo chambers.

  7. Same shit in iOS 9 on my hubby's 4S.

    Autocorrect is the most annoying thing ever.

  8. SJWs shat in their own house on Tumblr Is Tumbling (medium.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    That's why Tumblr is falling down and no longer Weeble-Wobble status.

  9. " but WotC doesn't profit from that"

    Not directly, but that loss of card probably means they're buying another booster pack in the hopes of re-obtaining that card, which benefits WotC.

    You're an idiot. UHF is 300 to 3000 MHz and the signal from the analog scope runs 1,860 MHz and is broadcast at 380mW antenna power. It is designed to work with either regular plain TVs or computers.

    Piss off until you have your HAM license.

  11. Actually, the original rules for M:tG stipulated that you put a card up as a bet before the game. There's the real gamble.

    You've obviously never played M:tG before, then, because the entire thing made sense to me with regards to the OP statement.

  13. You're talking to a race of geeks and nerds on this site. If you think the majority of us have used their penises, you might want to look for ways to get back to your own universe.

    Yea, given barely anyone's tried suing Cloudflare (Discord certainly doesn't have their 5-9 after the losses suffered this year, they ain't done shit) I doubt anyone's going to try, and if they do "Oh, looks like the servers that handle requests from that geolocation zone has issues."

  15. We're far better equipped and prepared than the French were. We have a literal glut of food and resources to work with.

    I don't think you're paying enough attention to what's happening around you and have too narrow of a focus.

    As is Mozilla could actually afford the infrastructure needed to handle the sheer amount of requests from their 5% market share...

  17. "Unless Ajit Pai has a penchant for pornography he isn't likely to notice."

    His ancestral people are well-known historically for what is essentially child pornography and slavery and rape, with events happening in that country to this day, so I would not be surprised to find out that if he had a penchant for pornography, that little dark side of it would be his favored type.

    "I for one will enjoy the civil suit that follows."

    Over what? Pai doesn't have a fucking contract for anything with CloudFlare, they're under ZERO obligation to send anything to him for any fucking reason. It's their CDN, and he has no contract so they can freely refuse him access.

  19. "now the company is stating it will take puntative action against a citizen"

    Once you become a government member, you actually LOSE some rights, dipshit, as you are no longer fully a citizen, you are now in a heavily-restricted world.

    Go shill for the FCC elsewhere, jerk.

    "Firstly, I don't think you know what "objective" means; it means you can measure it, empirically."

    You sure as fuck didn't bother to read or comprehend what you were replying to, did you?

    Those of us who have looked into the issue have pointed out a long history of abuse by multiple cable companies (prioritizing their own in-house services to the detriment of competitors, etc.)

    That clearly shows an empirical measurement, one you can look up though the court systems.

    "If you agree to an action when it's done by $FOO but disagree with the same action when it is done by $BAR, you aren't anywhere close to holding the moral high-ground."

    I disagree with Catholics and Christians being anywhere near children because of their tendency to be rapey. I agree with animals being around children, they tend to not rape children.

    Oops, there went your bullshit morality argument, you ignorant emotionally-driven fucktard.

  21. "If you cannot beat him in the realm of ideas, no amount of protests, slogans, and stunts will help."

    You're a historically-ignorant person if you think change cannot be effected.

    We simply target Pai and his family. Pure and simple French Revolution style.

    That gives all the other people reason to step the fuck back, 'lest they find themselves the next target.

    "Dunno about GP, but I like the fact that big, heavily-populated states (California, New York, Texas) don't get to set the agenda for the rest of us"

    Actually, they have more electoral votes, so they still get to set the agenda for everyone else. Bigger populations means bigger representation.

    So the EC is entirely unfair.
