HP hasn't made anything worth crap in 15 years anyway. Everything they touch turns to dookie. I thought it was just Carly F. but their culture has run to crap even in her absence. DEC was a great company, Compaq was a decent company. The end result HP was/is a steaming pile of excrement...

What gives you the expectation of privacy while appearing in public ? In my area sidewalks are not owned by the householder but rather public property. Either way what is visible from the street is legal tender so to speak. That is why they have 6' privacy fences in most neighborhoods. On top of all that anyone foolish enough to upload video to a google owned data storage with no privacy agreement gets what they deserve... outed ?

What happened to anonymous posting here ? You have to login to post anonymous ? Slashdot is once again gone to the dogs.

Thank-you. Shaq was mediocre at best. If he wasn't freakishly tall he'd have never made a team at all. How many of the "greatest players in history" couldn't shoot a free throw to save their lives ?
  Hack a Shaq for the win :)

C'mon we all know the earth is flat, and rides on the back of a couple of horny giant elephants riding on the back of a giant tortoise...

God rest ye Terry Prachett

Apple is so courageous. It's not like most of their users complained about the shoddy crap when they first came out or anything.

Remember the 1984 add for Apple and the fist MAC computer in which the 'running woman' tossed the hammer at the maxheadroom'ish mockup ? Back when Apple was innovative and not just an electronic fashion accessory ?

BTW GO RAIDERS !!!

LOL I came to post that but was beaten to it. I'll have to revert to my secondary snark. Minimizing VC money loss to $34.70 allows for idiot investors to spread the wealth about in a much greater field of fiscal irresponsibility.

Invest it and they will lose it...

Is that really a thing ? At what point do you invoke the backup browser ? Is there a specific protocol for that sort of thing? Mr. President we are at DEFCON 4, should we invoke the backup browser sir ? When one browser fails to resolve an address does another one work ? That sounds like the logic arrived at by the elderly clients whose desktops I cleanup when I am in Arizona visiting my parents... "I tried the Chrome internet and it did not work so then I tried the Edge internet but it was down too."

This was your neighbors friends cousins house keepers niece right ? I agree you should not be 'forced' to get vaccinations, but by the same reasoning you should not be 'allowed' to compromise everyone else's health nor is it your 'right' to participate in the benefits of modern society.
"...but it's truth..." No it is opinion, which is your right to have, but that doesn't make it truth or fact.
Your right to freedom ends where it intersects with my right to freedom.

Does it really matter if the rest of the world 'appreciates' or even understands what you do? You do the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing, not the recognition you get, that is called being a glory hound. Find a cause that motivates YOU and pursue it. The problem is that for most people the only cause that motivates them involves getting more, more money, more stuff, just accumulating stuff in an effort to fill the internal void they can't define. Friends and family, a sense of personal accomplishment those are the things that contribute to happiness and a sense personal fulfillment. Money is not the goal, but rather a tool to be used to gain the things that really matter in life.

They should ban the she males who compete against proper women because they can't compete against proper men ? I don't really care about your choice of sexual partners or your identity but crossing the admittedly blurry gender lines for the point of competition is underhanded. In my opinion professional sports competitors should be able to take whatever they want in the pursuit of their 'craft'. Unfortunately that would trickle down to the college level, in order to be competitive, and that would then do the same to the high school level for a spot in college. The should allow players in the MLB/NHL/NFL/MLS use HGH when on the disabled list to speed recovery and healing, but require them to test clean before getting back on the active roster.

Merely that comparing what a company or companies that are 20 years defunct has no bearing on a company that is currently involved very deeply in government surveillance. Also I might add the idea of being involved in government research and deployment in the US or UK is hardly the same as that of a company under the auspices of the government of China.

DEC ? As a former DEC, then Compaq employee I am quite sure no DEC personnel have worked with the US government in a long time.

This is kind of like when the record industry and the conservative politician's wives marked records with explicit lyric tags and it doubled their circulation. Alice Cooper to this day claims that those tags made his career. AC/DC albums sales went through the roof following their inclusion in that list as well.

The ignorant can be educated, stupid is forever. Which are you ? In case you missed the gist, recreational pot is LEGAL in California so what would be the point ?
