  1. Re: Oh thank god on Linux Community To Adopt New Code of Conduct (kernel.org) · · Score: 1

    Then they'll reject my awesome code if I call someone a fag or retard? Or will they still use my code but reject me?

  2. Re:Anyone have a handle on what this actually does on Senate Passes Music Modernization Act With Unanimous Support (billboard.com) · · Score: 1

    That's fine if you want to share the work privately between you and a cypher holder. But if I want to comment on a work publicly, or, at least, within a group of my friends, it will be illegal.

  3. Re: The same thing is going on in thunder bay on Swiss Village Votes for Free Money. Now It Just Needs the Cash (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    you end up with rival warlords setting up their own little kingdoms.

    So basically what we have now.

  4. So I break the law by uploading infringing content and facebook has to pay? Why don't they just target the copyright infringers? Oh, it's because they don't have any money. The point of these types of laws isn't to enforce or punish lawbreakers, it's to extort money. If I stab someone at starbucks, should the manager go to jail? I am, after all, committing a crime on their property.

  5. ITT I solve the world's unemployment problem on California May Become First State To Require Companies To Have Women On Their Boards (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    If you're going to force companies to hire certain people, why not just force them to hire everyone in the state? That'll wipe out unemployment in one swope. Forget that. Hire everyone in the world! Damn, I'm a genius.

  6. But now you'll have the official source telling dummies to enable the unknown sources option. So when some asshole finds a "cracked free fornite all dlc for free" APK on the internet, they can google "should I enable unknown sources for fortnite" and the official webpage will make it clear that they must.

  7. Re:50% income tax on Canada's Ontario Government Ends Basic Income Project (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: -1, Troll

    This guy. The rest of society has agreed to help you by giving up a portion of their labor and you're still fucking complaining. If this was a hundred years ago, you'd be left in a ditch to die. But instead you're on here complaining that it's not enough or it's hard. Fuck you, dude. If I were king of the world, I'd put people like you back in the ditch and give what money you would've received to the grateful disabled.

  8. Look, Google... on Google Facing Billions in EU Antitrust Fines (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Just sign a blank check and hand it to the EU. Someone has to pay for all that free healthcare and college. You can call it "pre-fines" to hedge against laws that will be passed in the future. As long as Google can make $1 after all the fines, there's no real problem.

  9. Re:so how do you prevent from scanning your plate on Repo Men Scan Billions of License Plates -- For the Government (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    There's no way keep your vehicle information private. It is, by design, public information. You'll need to buy a shit ton of land and never leave if you want to drive without any information being made public.

  10. Re:so how do you prevent from scanning your plate on Repo Men Scan Billions of License Plates -- For the Government (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    When me and my white friends would drive to the ghetto to buy drugs the cops would stop us all the time. It was obviously because we were young, white teenagers in a predominantly black neighborhood known to sell drugs.

    how do you do that without javascript? Not everyone uses it. With javascript, how do you hash without exposing the key?

    trying to justify your bullshit job. whatever you gotta do to keep them suckers paying you.

  13. From where does the UNESCO Institute for Statistics get its information? Do they have teams in every country verifying the claims of literacy? Do they ask every person if they can read? Or do they do samples? If so, do they (really) get to pick the group of participants? Or do they rely or government reports?

  14. Re:Just The Facts on German Supreme Court Rules Ad Blockers Legal (faz.net) · · Score: -1

    Which capitalist countries have your theory been tested in? Oh, none? Sorry, I forgot that there are no capitalist countries on planet earth. Every state meddles with their economy. Show me a country that doesn't offer copyright protection or some other state sponsored economic interference. Please!

  15. Waze doesn't do any of that in my town but it still takes 15 minutes for me to drive across the street because of people using my town as a throughway to the metro area. Who can I sue?

  16. Without governement, the world would be anarchy

    No shit.

    anarchy
    noun

  20. Raspberry PI is your answer. on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Build a Private TV Channel For My Kids? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I did something similar with a Raspberry Pi, a simple BASH script, and OMXPlayer. I loaded tons of old 80's Christmas shows/movies on a USB thumb drive and plugged it into an old 13" crt television. The Pi played all my shows 24 hours a day during the xmas season. Whenever I turned the TV on, I could enjoy an old classic. I did have to reboot the Pi once a day but other than that it works perfectly as a homemade tv station.

  21. Re:Seems to me Yahoo is burning their seed corn on YouTube Toughens Advert Payment Rules (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    That's not true. If I make a video and someone discovers it outside of youtube (via search or share), now that person who might not normally have been attracted to youtube at that moment is now there. Once there they could watch endless amounts of YouTube Suggested videos from other creators that do have ads enabled. My content could easily bring in new customers for google to monetize in other ways and I get nothing.

  22. Re:For Now... on Amazon's YouTube Workaround on Fire TV Works Just Fine (geekwire.com) · · Score: 1

    Years ago I remember watching hulu in the ps3's browser just fine and then one day hulu's website claimed it no longer worked in the ps3's browser. So I wrote a website that scraped all the direct links from hulu and accessed that page on the ps3's browser. Videos worked fine. Until hulu realized people were doing this, then they had the flash player check the useragent and all of sudden the videos were gone. I don't recall any antitrust lawsuits resulting from their actions.

  23. Re: I'll go against the Slashdot groupthink on Trump Wants Postal Service To Charge 'Much More' For Amazon Shipments (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    The post office handles an incredible amount of Amazon volume. Amazon cannot simply shift that many parcels to some other company and they can't even just split it up between them. The other companies couldn't handle that influx. On top of that, even if, say, UPS did agree to take all the volume, hire thousands of new employees, purchase thousands of new vehicles, buildings, printers, hand carts, forklifts, etc, what's stopping Amazon from just flipping the switch and taking their business to fedex leaving UPS on the hook for all that new infrastructure?

  24. Shut up and get out of the way of the Hype Train. on Star Wars: The Last Jedi Has Critics In Raptures (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Stop picking on Disney. They're just trying to produce highly profitable movies to please their shareholders. Just say the movie is great and shut up.

    They spend X amount of money on an eminent domain lawyer, the government spends 100 times that amount winning the lawsuit over a few years. There. Cost the taxpayers tons of money to prove no point.
