  1. Sending a message.... on Republicans Introduce a Bill To Overturn Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Do you want to send a message that to be a Republican is to be ignorant of the internet and be accepting of bribes?

  2. Bullshit! on U.S. Gov't Grapples With Clash Between Privacy, Security · · Score: 1

    In what manner was the US government concerned with privacy?

    After 9-11, we were supposed to just stop being Americans and give up the whole idea of what our founding fathers wanted.
    Be a coward, and given them all the power they want, and see where that will get you.

  3. Snowden Did His Part as An American on Snowden Demystified: Can the Government See My Junk? · · Score: 1

    Just because the government has a certain power, does not make that power rightly American.

    Your Constitutional rights are guaranteed in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, your personal safety is not, Brenda Make

  4. The NSA has No American Style Checks and Balances on NSA's Former General Council Talks Privacy, Security, and Snowden's 'Betrayal' · · Score: 1

    If our founding fathers were alive to learn NSA is doing, they would be grabbing their muskets from the walls!

    Shame on you NSA.
    Shame on you Congress for empowering them to do it.
    Shame on us for re-electing them.
    Shame on them for brainwashing us.

  5. Last American Group That Would My Mind at Ease on Robots4Us: DARPA's Response To Mounting Robophobia · · Score: 1

    Darpa contours only the scariest robot applications.

  6. As a Former Supporter of Gnome.... on GNOME 3.16 Released · · Score: 2

    I am looking forward to this code to be ported into Cinnamon.

    Really, I wish Cinnamon, Gnome, and XFCE could all be merged, each giving meaningful input for Desktop, Tablet, and Lightweight.
    It's time to get it together!

  7. There is a downside on Researchers: Smartphone Use Changing Our Brain and Thumb Interaction · · Score: 1

    The downside is: having a thumb that is good for texting goes completely against the grain of what you want for the use of fine dexterity for other applications.
    In most activities that require good dexterity, the thumb provides a steady rest, with only small but strong movements, using control.

    Don't believe me?

    Grab and apple and peel it.
    Grab a pencil and write.
    Hold a ratchet, a scalpel, a tweezers, scissors, a soldering iron....

  8. And the Federal Trade Commission did NOTHING! on OEMs Allowed To Lock Secure Boot In Windows 10 Computers · · Score: 0

    The FTC, who's job it is to pander to the needs of every monopoly put their hands in their pockets, as hardware that had once been open--was taken by Microsoft.

    FTC, please get off of your knees for once, and do something.

  9. Bullshit on Obama: Maybe It's Time For Mandatory Voting In US · · Score: 2

    That's what we need: more people in jail.

    I have a counter idea: give us some reasonable choices. How about a few people in the government, who aren't on the take?

  10. NSA, the Anti-American Agency on To Avoid NSA Interception, Cisco Will Ship To Decoy Addresses · · Score: 1

    Someone needs to put some reigns on this out of control horse.

  11. Received Not the Same as Considered on Microsoft Has Received 1 Million Pieces of Feedback For Windows 10 · · Score: 1

    Everyone hears advice, who listens to it?

    For instance, I don't think people like square corners over round. The border-less buttons are slower for the eye to see. Drop shadows helped us figure out which window was on top. But the marketing people who are designing operating systems don't seem to care.

  12. U's Not So Great on Ultralight Convertibles Approaching Desktop Performance · · Score: 1

    Until, this series, my 3-year old 2520m was faster than any U series processor. The current crop just edges out a 3-year old chip. The intel integrated GPU is still a boat anchor, and if anyone thinks that a GPU like that is going to keep up with a good desktop GPU--even like the defamed GTX 570, then they are out of their minds.

  13. Corruption Over There, Too? on UK Gov't Asks: Is 10 Years In Jail the Answer To Online Pirates? · · Score: 2

    Hey, your politicians are taking money from media companies, too!

  14. No, the voters who voted them into office.

  15. How will be the first to be killed? on Self-Driving Cars Will Be In 30 US Cities By the End of Next Year · · Score: 1

    Volunteers, anyone. Do you feel safer?

  16. Marketing People Should Not Design and OS on Users Decry New Icon Look In Windows 10 · · Score: 1

    It looks like shit, that's why.

  17. Square Corners and Icons, Looks Like Windows 1 on Users Decry New Icon Look In Windows 10 · · Score: 1

    It's great to have a ringside seat watching the devolution of operating systems.

  18. Scrapbook in Firefox on Ask Slashdot: Most Useful Browser Extensions? · · Score: 2

    I have over 3,000 webpages and over 2000 links saved and organized in Scrapbook. Scrapbook can recursively safe entire websites. Searching for good information is tedious with search engines. Webpages come and go. Scrapbook lets you build a library, your own personal knowledgeable over years. You can highlight text and save the results, too. All the webpages can be be organized in a tree-like hierarchal manner.

    The only issue with it has to do with synchronization and differential backups. It should be rewritten to save Mozilla Archive Format files MAFF's so that synchronization would be quicker from machine to machine.

  19. You know, for killing poeple. on Boston Dynamics Introduces Their Newest Four-Legged Robot, 'Spot' · · Score: 1

    Great, this will help with our endless wars.

  20. They thin their word, and invalidate their testimony,

  21. XFCE and Cinnamon Merger? on Xfce Getting a New Version Soon · · Score: 1

    They both seem to be on the same side.

  22. And I Thought The NSA Was All Bad on Utah Cyberattacks, Up To 300 Million Per Day, May Be Aimed At NSA Facility · · Score: 1

    At least it serves as a honeypot, absorbing attacks, keeping the internet safe for people who respect the U.S. Constitution.

  23. Spending My Karma: Fuck You Verizon on Verizon Sells Off Wireline Operations, Blames Net Neutrality Plans · · Score: 2

    What's the matter? Can't extort? Aw, poor thing.
    Please leave Verizon, tomorrow.

  24. Thunderbird Mail, Own your Mail on Firefox Succeeded In Its Goal -- But What's Next? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I can't see myself using webmail. Ultimately, I download all my email.

  25. Won't Pass if it's Constitutional on Bipartisan Bill Would Mandate Warrant To Search Emails · · Score: 2

    No one in Washington gives a damn about the US Constitution anymore. It won't pass.
