  1. Re: Good government management on Amazon Pulls Out of Planned New York City Campus (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Amazon needs to relocate to Houston, TX. No way would we have the sentiment of astrofurter (5464356)!

    I honestly thought that it was an attempt at humor ;_)

  3. Re: Banning ad blockers will never work on Spotify Bans Ad Blockers In Updated ToS (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    For those without enough time to read the article and do the math: 207 million users vs. 96 million premium users.

    96 / 207 = 46.37% +/- 0.50%

    I have this exact concern for the exact same reasons!

  5. Re:No Winamp in Federal prison on Google Chrome 73 To Officially Support Multimedia Keys on Your Keyboard (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I think the CEO of the National Enquirer might end up there first!!

  6. Re: Not Americans on Americans Are Lining Up To Work For Amazon For $15 an Hour (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    I have never met any good coder who learned how to code in an American university.

    Not one. In 20 years.

  7. Re:This data SHOULD be public. on Singapore HIV Registry Data Leaked Online in Health Breach (bbc.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    They should have done that in the 1980s. HIV would be dead now. but only if they forced a tattoo as well.

  8. Diseased Lists SHOULD be Public! on Singapore HIV Registry Data Leaked Online in Health Breach (bbc.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Communicable diseases, especially incurable, lifelong and fatal ones (HIV) should be public knowledge!

    If we don't have the temerity as a species/civilization to quarantine such individuals, at least let the public stay away from them on their own accord!

    Not stopping HIV in its tracks in the 1980s was the genesis of the entire SJW movement.

  9. Re:HAHAHAHAHAHAHA on Netflix Becomes First Streaming Company To Join the MPAA (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    Regulatory capture is when the heads of companies become the regulator heads of the government agencies tasked with regulating them.

    E.g. Obama's Secretary of the Treasury being an ex-Goldman Sachs CEO.

  10. It probably comes pre-bundled.

  11. Over here in the U.S., my dad is literally the only person I know who has zero debt.

    You really ought to make time to watch Netflix's Maniac. It is INCREDIBLE!

    Let's find out!

    https://www.yts.am/ -- This is the best movies site where I can find 85%+ of everything I'm looking for and there are -always- seeders. Zero fakes.
    https://thepiraratebay.org/ -- I hardly never use it (too tracked, down, slow) but it does have things none of the others do.
    https://www.katcr.co/ -- The rebooted KickassTorrents. Good content! I use it for stuff not found on YTS.
    https://eztv.ag/ -- The TV torrents site. Has stuff none of the others do, including non-geeky TV series.

    That's generally everything I need to find practically everything I want. I have to use a search engine (DuckDuckGo is MUCH better than Google for finding torrents in 2019) about 2% of the time.

  17. Who the FUCK uses their real full name on Slashdot?!

  18. Re:I'm still waiting on Ask Slashdot: Is Today's Technology As Cool As You'd Predicted When You Were Young? · · Score: 1

    It's *so* amazing to me that you managed to work at the same place for over 20 years! Every job I love I get sacrificed in a layoff before 3 years are up.

  19. Staring out the window as a kid encourages, even demands, the creation and flexing of an imagination! Something that is absolutely critical in an information-driven creative society like our's!

    Your son is going to be at a great disadvantage because of that iPad! I never let my stepkids do that sort of things on trips, for longer than 30 minutes every few hours.

    Bush created the deep state. Obama weaponized it.

  21. Sounds like every city in Texas except Austin and parts of San Antonio.

    Only statists (::cough:: Leftists) would ever force this on every store.

    Especially in the most populous state!

    Hey, California! Convince some poor low-population state like New Hampshire to test your bullshit ideas first! Jumping in head first as the largest state with the largest city is a good way to end up dead in the water.

    Just ask any competent engineer.

    Hey, moron!

    Do you honestly think people are going to type in their email address at the counter every time they want a receipt?! No way!

    This is a huge leap toward a totalitarian police state. That's what this is. Cash or card, government will know.

  25. In the United States, we only have two options for a Lack of Confidence:

    1. Leave the United States, which is what I did for several years until Trump won.
    2. Viva La Revolution!!

    Yeah, those are the only two options, sadly.
