    trying to have your cake and eat it too so to speak

    That pretty much sums up the entire history of the UK as a "member" of the EU.

    "I run my own domain and email server--how many email addresses do you need?"

  3. Re:Do you remember when using nicks was cool? on US To Seek Social Media Details From All Visa Applicants (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    If you're so old in Internet years, surely you remember the Google Real Names Policy?

  4. Re:CGNAT, 443 block, AUP, domain, server, secure on Ask Slashdot: Is There a Good Alternative to Facebook? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    That's a very long-winded version of "Yes".

    Because it's obviously an AHuxley "Everything's a conspiracy" rant?

  7. Re:Not Really on Ask Slashdot: Is There a Good Alternative to Facebook? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Self-hosting is still a thing, right?

  8. Re:Regulate Facebook on Ask Slashdot: Is There a Good Alternative to Facebook? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Facebook isn't ubiquitous. I know plenty of smart, successful people that don't use it.

    Tries to look modest...

  9. Re:Predecated on deception on Ask Slashdot: Is There a Good Alternative to Facebook? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 2

    The FB app can't slurp your data if it's not installed on your phone. Or so I've heard...

    I won't lose sleep over the fact I'll never get the chance to fuck up on that scale, no.

  12. If FB told her in writing that they'd not share it, there's this little thing called contractual obligation that says you're wrong.

  13. Even My Mom Hates the New FF on Firefox In 2018: We'll Tackle Bad Ads, Breach Alerts, Autoplay Video, Says Mozilla (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I might lie to you about some things, but I would never tell a lie about my own mother.

  14. Re:It is time for Stormy weather on Facebook Gets Hit With Four Lawsuits Over Cambridge Analytica Scandal (sfgate.com) · · Score: 1

    Top law firms telling him, "Nah, we're good. Best of luck, Mr President".

    Ooh yeah, baby, when I read about this yesterday--I cannot lie to you: I LOL'ed. You bet your sweet ass I did.

    I'm thinking that they don't see him getting away with trying to flip the script on the Mueller investigation, either.

  18. Re:Triple quintuple bullshit!! on Ask Slashdot: Is Beaming Down In Star Trek a Death Sentence? · · Score: 1

    This let them get away with all the joys of including Greek-style Gods into Star Trek without having to touch on religion.

    TOS covered that territory twenty years earlier in "Who Mourns For Adonais?"

    Better yet, just go for a walk.

    Twitter will still be a money-sink in ten years.

    You have to activate a calling plan *before* you leave? You live in a previous decade, do you?

    First thing that happens when I turn on my phone after landing in a foreign country is that I get an SMS from my telco (Telenor) telling me what my pricing/plan options are for making calls there. Usually offering a couple of decent choices.

    Devil's Island is a French possession.

    You're just full of interesting and relevant facts today, aren't you?

    Uh, nope, today's the same as any other day, and you're still a knothead.

    Sorry if I got anyone unnecessarily excited, there.

    The "new" Norway full of Ahmeds and Tyrons won't be so successful on this metric.

    Ahmed Behring Breivik being one fine example, right.
