  1. Are you really PopeRatzo? Someone stole your account, right?

    PopeRatzo is more than a single individual. He is an idea. You can think of him as the Nicolas Bourbaki of Slashdot commenters.

    I hope you get a +5 for this. I'll come back when I have mod points.

    I appreciate that, but the answer is still no, I won't have sex with you.

  2. Does anyone get any work done at that fucking place? With all the memo-ing and meme-ing, I'm shocked that this Chevalier or Damore were able to keep their jobs at all.

    Knock off all the bullshit, you two. You're here to work for a living, not make spectacles of yourself. If you have a problem with your company's policies, feel free to go work somewhere else (unless there's something criminal going on, of course). Starbucks is always looking for baristas. EVERYTHING ISN'T ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS.

    I preferred G.I. Joe. It's bad enough to play with dolls. Even worse to play with He-Man since he looks like a Chippendales dancer.

    G.I. Joe looked like a member of the Village People, which I will admit is a step up from a Chippendales dancer.

  4. Honestly, since I know you have Apple gear, I can't tell if you just forgot the sarcasm tag, or if that's how you GENUINELY feel...

    My wife's department gave her a new MacBook Pro, but other than that the only Apple gear in this house is the Apple-branded Smart Butt Plug that I'm using as I type this. Which by the way hasn't held a charge since its last OS update.

  5. I know what it's like to be misunderstood and underappreciated. Like Apple, people often fail to grasp just how awesome I am. BECAUSE THEY JUST DON'T LISTEN.

    Anyway, I hope Apple perseveres and doesn't give up because some day they'll get their due and the haters and losers will have to come crawling back on their knees and admit they were always wrong about Apple - that scrappy little underdog company that just never gave up.

  6. Masters of the Universe on Barbie Will Be Used To Teach Kids To Code (engadget.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    The SJWs are out to spoil absolutely everything. I've never heard anything more ridiculous than using Barbie to teach kids to code. Everyone knows that He-Man is the only doll that should ever be used for teaching kids to code. Barbie is only to be used as a companion for He-Man so he can relax a little after a hard day of coding, as God intended.

    [Note: I only use "doll" above in the generic sense, since technically, He-Man is an action figure. Barbie is a doll. And several studies have shown that women lack the upper body strength to code. It's a biological fact. ]

    This will save Apple approximately $47B however none of that can be credited towards earnings. It is counted towards their cash assets.

    So unremitted foreign earnings are not counted as earnings? Are you sure?

    You guys are correct and I'm wrong. I was going on a misremembered article from Feb 1. Apple barely underperformed their guidance and came in $5billion short of Wall Street expectations, which is completely different.

    I apologize to one and all and especially Tim Cook.

    I stand by the statement that their earnings increase is mainly a result of their sweet tax cut and also the statement that the iPhone sales number are much lower than expected.

    I've found my pro wrestling persona. My signature finishing move will be something I like to call "High Treason" where I come off the top rope and rip the wig off my opponent, followed by a teabagging submission hold and invasion of the Ukraine.

    This phone made record breaking earnings for Apple.

    Apple revenue is down something like $18billion from last year. Their stock fell into a hole this afternoon and despite what Tim Cook says, iPhone is under-performing's Apple's own projections, and the company as a whole is under-performing their guidance.

    All this despite the fat, wet tax break they were given. Supply issues like the one pointed out in this story are a good way to look behind the rosy economic numbers that every CEO lays out. Because in these quarterly press releases, they all lie,

  12. Best we can hope for on Judge Rules AT&T Can't See Trump White House Communications About Time Warner Merger · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The merger between AT&T and Time-Warner should be blocked. This is a case of the president doing the right thing for corrupt reasons, which I suppose we should take as a win.

    But ultimately, I suspect the merger will go forward. AT&T and Time-Warner simply have better lawyers than the Trump administration.
