Comment Look at their website, all you need to know.. (Score 3, Informative) 250

Just take a look at this ISP's website and you'll learn everything you need to know about them. Started in 1996 they say, and they haven't moved on since then. Spelling errors, grammar errors, and a flash logo at the top right hand side.

The sooner Starlink comes to town and replaces useless outfits like this, the better.

The stupidity of this shines like a bright bright light.

Submission + - When a conspiracy theorist gets what he really wanted (youtube.com) 4

drcraig writes: There are a lot of conspiracy theorists at the moment, perhaps lockdown meant they had nothing better to do? But one guy has been at this for over three years now. He is British, quite well known in those circles, and very very ill informed. This is a story of what happens when you are so desperate for whatever data supports your cause, that you'll, quite literally, fall for anything. You'll nee to hold onto your hats for this Slashdotters, it's very very funny! Especially if you know anything about 5G, antennas, or, well, just science really.

Comment Re:Hackers or Criminals? (Score 1, Insightful) 113

This is true.. But look at this headline:

BLACK MEN RAPE YOUNG GIRLS

Now, it may be true that they are black. Its also likely that other people who were not black were also involved, but bringing out one attribute such as ethnicity or a technical aptitude really does not describe the whole situation. What the headline should be is:

CRIMINAL HACKERS...
or
BLACK RAPISTS....

Which, instead of attributing *ALL* hackers or *ALL* black men to a certain criminal activity, makes the distinction that not all people with that attribute are criminals, only a certain minotiry who engage in the mentioned criminal activity.

So whatever way you look at it, it is sloppy.

An excellent summary..

Really, the West should concentrate on not giving the Chinese everything we have.

This is how it is working:

1) We have the ideas and make East Asian people make them cheap.
2) They profit we do not.
3) They buy everything we have.
4) They have the ideas and since we have all gone bankrupt we make it cheap.

And yeah, dump NASA and get yourself a working healthcare system at least! Then ban guns (yeah HOW MANY PEOPLE DIE OF GUN CRIME IN THE US?)

New York To Spend $27.5 Million Uncapitalizing Street Signs 322

250,000 street signs in New York City feature street names in capital letters only, which is not the national standard. Having no other issues on the table, The New York City Department of Transportation has decided to fix the problem and put up proper signs featuring both capital and lower-case letters at a cost of $27.5 million. The Transportation Department hopes to have the job completed by 2018 with 11,000 of the most important improperly capitaled signs fixed by the end of the year. Catastrophe averted.
