    So somewhere between one and several hundred thousand there's a magic number? What is it?

    Three. The number is three.

    How does one go about determining what it should be?

    Fortunately, you don't have to go about determining what the number should be because I've just told you. You're welcome.

    Do they make the transients more isotropic and give a warmer soundstage?

    Yes, but only if you use the special rhodium over tellurium cable that has ultra-high harmonic resolution, imaging and transparence. These are known to provide the most refined tonal balance and harmonic complexity.

    Only if the trucks delivering your poorly-xeroxed newsletter to the street corner are improperly licensed, insured and unregulated, and you try to define the drivers of those trucks as "independent contractors" in order to skip out on paying payroll taxes.

    Other than that, your false equivalence is spot on.

    Based on three different lawsuits (plus a class-action) in three sites in two states, each with lots of supporting documentation - I think we can all agree that Google and YouTube probably did this.

    There have also been three different lawsuits against Donald Trump for sexual assault. Should we all agree that he probably committed sexual assault?

    I think we can all agree that Google and YouTube probably did this.

    Based on your feelings?

    If they didn’t do this exactly, they're basically saying they'd like to do it if they could get away with it.

    That is an interesting standard you've set.

    All applicants to Google and YouTube should say they "identify" as a lesbian refugee from Honduras named "Sofia Espinoza". After you're hired, you can say you had an epiphany and you now "identify" as who you were born as. You can change it back to Sofia the week before performance reviews. If they doubt you, call them racist and transphobic.

    I think we can all agree, based on the above paragraph, that you are probably an asshole. And if you're not exactly an asshole, you're basically saying you'd like to be one if you could get away with it.

    Maybe Google and YouTube are discriminating against assholes. Did you ever think that being an asshole is what's holding you back professionally and not the color of your skin?

    As a Slashdot reader since ~2001, this is just unacceptable.

    I've been reading Slashdot since the mid-1970s. I remember how we used to wait for the pages to render on the Illiac IV. We would pass the time by playing table football with a piece of paper folded into a triangle, I became really good at that game and later turned pro, but had to retire after a brief career due to injuries. Hell, I still have mod points that date back to 1983. I'd use them, but now they're collectors items and worth a lot of money.

    You kids don't know how good you got it. Not being able to access Slashdot for a week? Hell, when we voted in a Slashdot poll back in the day, it would take almost that long just to see the results. That was back when computing was done by men in white shortsleeve shirts and black neckties and we didn't have to worry about the SJWs forcing us to work with women and wear deodorant or refrain from scratching our nuts. We'd have ashtrays on top of the CPUs because everyone in computing back then smoked Parliaments.

    The washington post article is factually wrong, this wasn't caused by the clerk.

    The Wall Street Journal has confirmed, as has Ken White over at Popehat. The filing has nothing to do wiht "new evidence being discovered by the defense". You have been lied to by the Trump dead-enders at The Federalist.

    In other news, 30 people in the Trump administration, including the President's son-in-law, have lost their security clearance because they couldn't pass a background check, that same son-in-law got loans totaling over $150,000,000.00 after meeting with companies while working as a senior presidential advisor, and Robert Mueller is looking into the president's rather unique finances (which Trump previously said was a "red line"). Also, the president's longest serving-staffer and communications director just resigned a day after giving secret testimony to the intelligence committee and admitting to "white lies" on the president's behalf and Trump just called for guns to be confiscated without due process. And, there have now been FIVE convictions stemming from the Mueller investigation.

    All those things happened this week, and it's only Wednesday. Mishiki, your god-emperor Trump is in an uncontrolled skid, and it's glorious to watch. The net is tightening, and his performance at the "bi-partisan meeting with members of congress on gun control" shows that he's cracking like the vinyl upholstery in a '78 Matador.

    Today, CNN was lying about President Trump saying that he wanted to confiscate guns without due process. More fake news. We all know our President would never ever say such a thing!

    The phony quote, if you can possibly believe it, was, "I like taking the guns early...Take the guns first. Go through due process second,” They even had some CGI version of President Trump speaking these words in a supposed meeting with members of congress.

    First, not all sex workers are whores, and I'm absolutely not slut-shaming anyone. The first lady had a keen eye for business and made the most of it. She sold her most valuable commodity and held out for a very good price. She came by her success in an honest way and let's face it, it could not have been easy for her.

    I admire her in a way that I could never admire her husband. Though to be fair, he has bigger tits.

    I have set no standards. I don't believe in political correctness. I leave the standard-setting and pearl-clutching for those of you on the alt-right who were always so respectful of MIchelle Obama when she and her husband were in the White House.

    Then why don't you explain to everybody why the judge has demanded exculpatory evidence be presented and the FBI is stonewalling.

    It's all explained in the link I provided earlier. I'll put it here again. The judge's clerk used outdated boilerplate text to file the original "Brady order" in the case. It has since been refiled and the judge has clarified. If the FBI were "stonewalling", the judge would have already thrown the case out. Flynn has plead guilty and his guilty plea stands. He is cooperating with the Mueller investigation. What you're looking for starts about half-way through the article below.
