Anything is better than the corruption that is the Clintons.
No, not anything. Economic devastation and deep recession followed by lots of multinational corporations becoming ex-US due to shattering of trade deals is not better. If you think US could survive couple bankruptcies like Trump's casinos, then you are sadly mistaken.
Yes, the President has full power over kill drones, no checks and balances whatsoever?
Pretty much, and Obama already used them for killing off US citizens. Sure, it was heinous people that got killed that way, but that can quickly get redefined.
Voting machines should be open-source coded in assembly language.
You can backdoor hardware just like you can backdoor compiler. Assembly only wins you lack of code readability so it is easier to hide code-based backdoors.
I would rather not see Establishment Hilary elected, but Trump really could burn the system down, and what replaces it is going to be much worse than what we have. Corporate Authoritarianism and Full Surveillance State where we have less rights, less freedoms and where system rigged much harder against regular people. Your think your analog guns will be any good against autonomous kill drones?
For Google-impaired^h^h^h^h different-searching people - Pale Moon is an old fork of FF. So if you don't like Chrome in your browser there is something you can do about it.
As to what wrong with PDF and Flash modules - they will be native, without easy way to turn this functionality off. So you will have large footprint, large attack surface and popular modules making you less secure.

Now this! You know how hard it was to cram that thing into X-ray machine?! Plus I already paid for priority boarding so I would have space for all of my luggage.
From Kerbs on Security site:"The attack began around 8 p.m. ET on Sept. 20, and initial reports put it at approximately 665 Gigabits of traffic per second.".
Akami were handling it as of yesterday, but it seems that they decided it was too expensive to stand by their client while he is under attack.
Maybe a coincidence, but this started to happen after Kerbs exposed anti-DDoS 'protection' firm BackConnect use of BGP hijacking.
I could never understand why would any company risk JIT (just-in-time) on anything mission critical. At the same time everyone does it and disasters keep happening.
these old laws were in place for a reason... allows the manufacturer to set the price.
The old laws are from a different age. If any one manufacturer tries to do that now, global competition will be all too happy to undercut and capture their market share. If, for example, Ford and Chevy collude to jack up prices on pickup trucks, within production cycle you will have Toyota and Nissan capturing their market share.
I am cheering for Tesla to disrupt dealership system, as these dealerships are substantial and unnecessary added expense and hassle. They are there to sell you electronic rust modules and turbinator options that you don't want and rip you off on oil change "service" packages. Manufacturers should be able to sell directly to customers.
The fear of guillotine kept French elites in check. The same principle applies here, fear of communism kept Western elites in check up until collapse of USSR. Did you not notice that collapse of USSR coincided with decades of wage stagnation, loss of pensions, and general collapse of the middle class?
Gig economy is ultimately about absolving corporate responsibility and offloading traditional costs of employment on society while retaining control of the profits and money flow.
Historically, corporations were responsible for worker well-being. Work accidents, unemployment insurance, disability and illness, old age benefits were all part of the pay package. This was fought for and won by unions during early industrial age (aka the robber-baron age). Over past 30 years corporations fought hard to reverse these gains. First, pensions were absolved. Now, with this gig economy the rest of protections are being removed. We already have undischargable student dept.
At this rate, we will be back to debt slavery, compelled work, and company towns in another decade or so. Only this time it will be "gig economy" and "enabled entrepreneurship" or some other PR BS.
Hi, I am the guy who run this. Let me clear up some things.
First, when I tried to install this thing with world peace and universal happiness it wouldn't compile. When I asked on the net, they told me to RTFM. I couldn't figure it out, so I got stuck with defaults.
Second, have you played games where you mow down legions on NPCs? It is just like that. Be happy you get to exist, energy to run this sim isn't exactly free.
Third, this is about as historical as Lord of the Rings. Nazis? Trump unifying nations? Glorax invasion? You can't be serious taking this serious. Just relax and enjoy the ride.

Totally agree. Anybody but Hillary.

Burn the system down. Burn it all down.

Slashdot isn't really social media. It's more an anti-social network.
I resent this remark. Unless you apologize I will have no other choice but call you names and racial slurs.
I see. Interesting.
I use 'open new window' method, where all tabs for any given topic are in the same window.
I personally don't get this type of use-case. Why not simply use bookmarks/RSS?

When I all but called this when FF moved on from 3.6 people here thought I overreacted. Welcome to FireChrome.
I strongly suggest moving on to Pale Moon. NoScript works with it, so what are you waiting for?

The only logical explanation is that Time got trolled. I certainly don't recall reading anything about Hitler or Third Reich using frog symbols.
Yes, but not for technical reasons (DDoS succeeding in overwhelming ISP). Akami shamefully decided to dump Kerbs.

Apparently the developer was getting comments consisting of death threats.
Clearly, this is due to prevalent sexism in gaming and we should rally around this "developer" to fight off these GG aggressors.

Typical rape culture.
+1 for calling out the rape culture (no mod points right now)
I know, what is this with men daring to question women's actions?! We must put them back into their place, by force if necessary.

Is this submission by app appers guy, because it reads like one.
"No, wait, blowing up the Parliament carries a lower sentence."
What if you do it on the 5th of November?
With laws like this, do they have any other options left?
