  1. Re:We need to start an Internet 2.0 on Lawmakers Are Fighting For Net Neutrality (theverge.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Things like this aren't a two sided war where you have to automatically accept all the shit that says it is on your side.
    It's not only possible but advisable to be both against AT&T/Verizon/Comcast AND Soros, as both works to ruin your life, albeit in differing ways.
    The T-Rex biting the T-Rex that was chasing you is not your friend, and he will eat you as soon he finishes beating the other T-Rex.

    There is a reason why google is so big, which is well doing the exact opposite of what facebook is doing here.

    They're probably responsible for half of this e-waste.

  5. Re:Saw it coming on Trump Signs Law Forcing Drone Users To Register With Government (thehill.com) · · Score: 2

    Trump is a corporate cock sucker, not a nazilike person.
    If he gets his way US will probably become a corporate feud thing, where companies are literally kingdoms and enforce their shit on population with hired "knights" etc..
    If you want an empire that enforces their ideologies on other countries etc.. that's still Germany, but with a different rhetoric and tactics etc..

    Of course, where else would you put the "Whole.contents.of.earth.S2017M4.UNIPAK-Zarbulians.spacetorrent" ?

  7. The biggest unique resource we have on Ask Slashdot: What Is Your View On UFO Sightings? · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's our media in general.
    Water, oxygen etc must be easy for space traveling civilizations to come by, but can be safely assumed that music, art etc is quite unique on every planet.
    Which means the visitors are probably just pointing their advanced downloading devices to our planet and copying up EVERYTHING to some database that gets shared/sold later on.

    And there's not a damn thing esa/riaa/mpaa can do to stop the space pirates.
    Our "powerful encryptions and digital locks" probably falls in mere seconds on their advanced computers and cracking techniques.

  8. When the fairy of the free market is allowed to wave3 her little magic wand it do work.
    But this fairy is tied down on some basement of AT&T and have no chance to escape.

    Probably would be a thing if it was easy to track if people are not using celphones.

  11. Re:Insurance Company Math on Insurers Are Rewarding Tesla Owners For Using Autopilot (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Yep.
    That's how capitalism works, they will try always to get the highest profit, so they will increase the discount until they get the perfect balance, and if they have actual competition, they will get the discount even higher just to cut out the rival.

  12. Do you know who hired Ajit Pai to the FCC?
    This is not left vs right, it's corrupt party that favor some companies and will help others for money vs corrupt party that favor other companies and will help others for money.

    And they will get it, paying or not paying for it.
    So you're better off not being on a situation where the only way is the "free" way, or people will take it.

    It happened several times already. But the hype pulls it right back up, and people love it, because on every crash, you buy em because you know the stupid hypers will pull it up again.

    In theory you can.
    In practice Verizon/AT&T/Comcast will just pay the local government and block your efforts with a freaking law.

    It's a corporate on corporate fight here, no good sides.
    A true good side would be focused on bringing actual competition to the american internet market.

    If it's verizon offering it.
    Wake me up when another company like google is allowed to even try.

  22. The problem was understanding what IME does as it is a encrypted black box piece of hunk.
