  6. Cellphone with Keyboard on Ask Slashdot: What Is Missing In Tech Today? · · Score: 1

    I could type so much faster with my old LG Lotus than my even my galaxy note.
    Bluetooth cellphones are not very practical. They are a PITA to connect and rip through the battery in no time.
    Everyone makes the same stupid candy-bar cellphone, now : (

  9. Is Apple Paying Police? on iPhone X Purchase Leads To Police, Battering Ram, and Handcuffs (cbslocal.com) · · Score: 1

    This is not the first time that the police have been Apple's goons.

  10. Please, help in the fight for what is right.

  11. Passing on Nvidia Next Time! on Nvidia Wants To Prohibit Consumer GPU Use In Datacenters (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The user interface changes for Firefox are a study in bad user interface design.

    A properly designed cellphone should shut down or throttle to prevent overheating.

  16. A policeofficer is in danger to many days for the idea to have any merit.

    Most police would advise against entering a hostile situation, thereby creating another potential victim or hostage.

  17. Will Twitter Block Trump's Abusive Attacks? on Twitter Rolls Out Stricter Rules On Abusive Content (apnews.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    Trump has launched a lot of personal hurtful and childish attacks on people, and Twitter, so far, has done: nothing.

    I left Twitter because they supported Trump, and maybe you should, too.

  18. FBI Succums to Politics on DOJ: Strong Encryption That We Don't Have Access To Is 'Unreasonable' (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    We have a problem that the FBI is controlled by political ebb and tides. How can democracy function if a politician has access to their competitors plans?

  19. If you can keep track of your political opponent, how will our government function?

  20. MDMA Needs Good People to Work on FDA Designates MDMA As 'Breakthrough Therapy' For PTSD (futurism.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    For instance it's really bad to take MDMA by yourself, as in never do it.

    I believe that MDMA is an anti-dissociative that helps people connect with themselves, which in turn helps people connect with others; that in turn helps people heal.

  23. I Have Known Several Trans Vietnam Vets on Donald Trump Says US Military Will Not Allow Transgender People To Serve (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I knew two cross-dressers who were in Vietnam; one had the river boat blown from under him. Years later they found fiberglass still in his leg.
    I knew two transsexual Army soldiers. One broke their back when they were shot down in their helicopter. The other kept reenlisting, and was groomed by the CIA.
    I knew another transsexual person who kept reenlisting who had quite a few scars from being shot up.
    I knew a nuclear engineer aboard a submarine who was transsexual.

    You are going to have transsexual people in the military, one way or another. Though the issue here is not only a question of military service, but a question of our place in society.

    And as if it matters, I carried a draft slip too, and when I was young I would have given my life for my country, as did my grandmother's brother, aboard the USS Juneau, who died along with the Sulivan Brothers,

  24. No one needed it... on Software Developer Explains Why The Ubuntu Phone Failed (itwire.com) · · Score: 1

    The Ubuntu phone was a me-too thing. No one asked for it, wanted it, or bought it.
    And yet, Ubuntu ran their game into the ground supporting Unity, and for what?

    Let this be a lesson to all the me-too, flash-in-the-pan bullshit instigators.
