  1. Fight for your right...to party on Bannon Loses National Security Council Role in Trump Shakeup (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 0

    Bannon's new title is "Secretary in Charge of Doing Rails of Coke off the Toilet Tanks in the White House Bathroom".

  2. Re:Trump is wrong every frigging day! on Canadian Town Picks Uber For Public Transit (cnet.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    Nope. Not tired of winning.

    Here it is in Trump's own words:

    "LinkedIn Workforce Report: January and February were the strongest consecutive months for hiring since August and September 2015"

    Let that sink in. He's crowing about the strongest consecutive months of hiring since 2015.

    That's like saying, "Today, I had the biggest bowel movement since yesterday! WINNING!"

  3. Re:iPhone - courage, Mac Pro - Bold on The Mac Pro Is Getting a Major Do-Over (mashable.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So iPhones are all about courage, while Mac Pro is all about being Bold. I'm sensing a theme here. Perhaps their iMacs should have valor, iPad tenacity, and earpods should have balls.

    The new Mac Pro will grab users by the pussy.

    You conflate Capitalism with Cronyism

    Cronyism is the inevitable result when Capitalism enters its malignancy stage, which it did about 1980. Now it's stage 4 Capitalism.

  6. Erik Prince in the Seychelles on AIG Is Now Selling Cyber Insurance, But Only To High Net Worth Individuals (securityledger.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder if they've gotten any inquiries about a policy that covers impeachment.

  7. So why don't you just short sell Tesla and get rich?

    Because that would require two nickels to rub together.

  8. How did Tesla sales figures compare to Ford's all-electric models?

    (note: Ford is planning an all-electric vehicle in...2020)

    The parent post doesn't contribute anything of substance to the discussion. Please mod it down to -1 Offtopic.

    I agree. The GP is clearly trying to impugn the character of the President of the United States by suggesting some connection to Russia, which is ridiculous on its face. He should be modded down severely.

    There is a HUGE (pun intended) difference between mandating that data is open and mandating that plans are developed to ensure open data.

    The plans created in 2013 have been fully implemented.

  14. Mao Mao on 'Verified' Is Now a Derogatory Term on Twitter (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    The alt-Right seeing Twitter verification as derogatory reminds me of the way the 20th century hard-core Communists used to see using a toothbrush or wearing glasses as a evidence that you are an elitist.

    Yes, on the public website of the company that published the annotated texts. Here

    To be fair, Georgia residents have been trying to search for the text of the laws on Pornhub, and currently they are not available there.

  17. Mythbusters on House Approves Bill To Force Public Release of EPA Science (ap.org) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    1) The EPA's science is already released publicly.

    2) This bill requires the data to be released publicly.

    3) The EPA's data is already released publicly.

    On February 22, 2013, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) directed federal agencies that conduct research to develop plans ensuring peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals and related digital scientific research data resulting from federally-funded scientific research are accessible to the public.

    What's missing from the archived pages are the daily flame wars about the lack of lesbian eskimo transmidgets or whatever in STEM.

    So what you're saying is that Slashdot hasn't changed, but many of its readers have now grown up and moved out of their parents basement and aren't quite so scared of the world? I guess that's a big change, when women and gay people aren't quite so scary any more.

    Not even close. The OP was not joking. He really thinks that Slashdot 2000 page differs somehow in content from today's.

  20. Re:Troll post on Trolling Will Get Worse Before it Gets Better, Study Says (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    It's almost impossible to compare a 2000 Slashdot front page with a 2017 Slashdot front page, given how truly awful the submissions today are.

    Good troll, dude.

    If you look at that 2000 page, except for the version numbers and cultural references, they could have been taken from today's front page. Slashdot has been remarkably consistent over the years.
