I saw something about this while watching C-SPAN on my Smart TV and I heard the Senators say, "Smart TVs are wonderful and everyone should own one and watch it every day." Sure, their mouths and words lined up like on a old b&w Godzilla movie dubbed into English, but what's weird about that? I'll watch my Smart TV some more and get back to you with any updates...
China: Oh, boy. W-what's wrong, Rick? Is it the quantum radar or something?
Rick: "Quantum radar"? Jesus, China. You can't just add a [burp]-- Sci-Fi word to a word and hope it means something.

This is great! I thought being a founder of something was an indelible historical event, but apparently, you can step down from being a founder! I'm going to go found some evil groups right away...once I step down, I won't be a founder any more, so I will be absolved forever. Awesome!
... it's still unclear if the space (or tab) Van Rossum leaves, by removing himself from the Python Language decision process, will make things easier parse.
Kind suggestion for Slashdot editors: please mention how the organics were destroyed in the lede. You say they were destroyed but you don't say how.
They did mention it, but that part got destroyed during posting. They were going to mention that, but were afraid of kicking off an infinite edit loop.

Either way, the FCC will still ignore individual informal complaints for free and ignore individual formal complaints for $250.

Also INB4 "But muh Fox news". Yes, the state of reporting and journalism in the country is absolutely atrocious and going downhill.
Or, more correctly, the current Trump/Republican administration is simply a mouthpiece for Fox "News".

... and the guy apparently admitted he'd downloaded 'a couple of guitar licks' on YouTube.
I'm not sure a "couple of guitar licks" would qualify for copyright protection, but perhaps the law or online monitoring system(s) really are that anal.
He was polite, but it was a REALLY condescending response.
She unloaded on him pretty hard, but it was the right way to nip that idiocy in the bud.
I'm a guy and I had to deal with stuff like that when I was younger. For example, when I started with SAIC at the NASA Langley Research Center in 1996. My first time on-site, a much older admin literally started explaining to me how Unix worked. I interrupted him and said that not only was my BSCS degree focus in operating systems, but that I had actually taken a course in BSD internals from Kirk McKusick when I was an admin with Unisys at the NASA LaRC supercomputing group -- I was an admin for their Cray 2 and YMP supercomputers and 3 Convex mini-supercomputers from 1988-1992 -- and that I knew how Unix (and, more specifically, SunOS) worked. He shut up and we got along pretty well after that.
Unfortunately, sometimes pushing back hard is the only way to get any (initial) respect and, unfortunately, I've seen it be worse for women.

My parents, friends, wife, etc... sometimes say "yes" or "no" to things I want to do and/or do again.
[ Is the problem here that's it's an "algorithm" (presumably written by people) or that it made decisions? ]
