  1. Re:Biassed media bullshit on Russia Says it Was in Touch With Trump Campaign During Election (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Trump said the election was rigged, did he not? Are you calling him a liar?

    This is going to be fun.

  2. Re:Russia invited Hillary too, but she declined on Russia Says it Was in Touch With Trump Campaign During Election (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The article summary makes it sound like Russia was controlling the Trump camp.

    Prove that it wasn't.

    (Now it's your turn to prove a negative--enjoy!)

    You expected reason from someone who can't spell "sale"?

  4. Re:A leader who defuses the situation? on Russia Says it Was in Touch With Trump Campaign During Election (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    You can always tell who's likely being paid to post nonsense like the above post, an important clue being the "once elected, you can do anything you want" meme.

    A president got elected in Ukraine on a promise to join the EU. As soon as he'd won, he flew to Minsk and started doing the opposite. The people who elected him were naturally... not exactly pleased. Accountability *begins*, and not ends, once you've won the election.

    So it's a case of "Bitches don't know 'bout MAH DEVELOPMINT ENVAHRONMENT"?

  7. Re:Obviously, a failed time travel mission on Secret Service, DHS Scramble To Secure America's Election (yahoo.com) · · Score: 0

    Wrong. The mission *succeeded*. Thus, Trump lives to lose the election and make his triumphant return to reality television instead of being turned into an Alt-Right martyr, and so you lot get to sidestep the ensuing Second Civil War touched off by enraged Tea Partiers, skinheads, Free Staters, and gun nuts afterwards in our timeline.

    (The fishing eventually got really good in Keene Crater Lake, but we decided that we were willing to write that off for the good of the country.)

  8. I hope you realise that completely fails to contradict the account related by the Associated Press.

  9. Re:Old news (even for Slashdot) on Two Critical MySQL Bugs Discovered (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    All they need to do is upgrade to the latest release. I believe there has actually been another release in each current series (5.5, 5.6, 5.7) since the releases incorporating the fix.

    I still think it's a slow news day at InfoWorld.

    Oil has additional uses, other than as a fuel.

  11. Old news (even for Slashdot) on Two Critical MySQL Bugs Discovered (infoworld.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Both of these vulnerabilities were fixed in MySQL two months ago. I assume MariaDB and Percona have long since applied the patches as well.

    So the big takeaway here is, "If you've not upgraded to the latest release yet, why the hell not?"

  12. That worked out real well for them in Algeria, n'est-ce pas?

  13. Re:Freedom? You have to join the migration movemen on Man Who Named His Wi-Fi SSID 'Daesh 21' Prosecuted Under French Anti-Terror Law (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    A migration of liberty minded activists has been moving for the purpose of achieving a disproportional impact on politics at the state level and has been having some success.

    Or, in plain English, Let's go someplace where we outnumber the locals, then take over and run things to suit ourselves, and the hell with them and how they feel about it.

  14. I don't see the word "white" anywhere in the quote.

  15. Several residents in Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city which fell to the extremist group in June [2014], told The Associated Press that the militants threatened to cut the tongue of anyone who publicly used the acronym Daesh, instead of referring to the group by its full name, saying it shows defiance and disrespect. The residents spoke anonymously out of fear for their safety.

    I'm gonna go with the AP until you come up with actual documentation to support your claim.

  16. If it's purely a collector's item, then it doesn't need any network connectivity whatsoever, does it.

  17. Waiver be damned--that dipshit better not try to bring it on my flight.

  18. Let us know how that fire in your butt pocket works out for ya.

    Given a choice between Erdogan's neo-Ottomanism and the Kurds' moderate progressivism, it's a slam dunk.

    And it's about time the Kurds had their own country in any event. Maybe when Turkey considers an alternative to making everyone within their current borders "Turkish" whether they like it or not, we can talk about that EU thing again.

  23. Re:Great! Competition FTW! on Microsoft Teams Launches To Take on Slack in the Workplace (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Text chat (XMPP/IRC) or phone for real-time communications when necessary/desired, and email for everything else has worked quite well for us for over a decade.

    And we are forbidden to use Skype for any work-related communications, since our management isn't keen on sharing everything we do with Microsoft.

    Suits me fine.
