The headline of the post(not the article) makes it sound like there was a vote and that science is decided democratically.

Seriously, we put Saddam Hussein and Slobodan Milosovec to death for genocide and profiteering. Facebook upper management has been complicit in the Myanmar genocide longer than Nazis were allowed to run concentration camps. Facebook employees have been helping undermine governments everywhere, making money off human suffering and escalating towards violence.

So why are we talking about regulating FB when we should be talking about rounding up the traitors and putting them to death? Every employee has blood on their hands. Its time we really escalate this to the next level and give FB a taste of their revved up violence and show them how we handle genocide and profiteering as war crimes.

IBM is hiring! They pay well if you're white!!

Rest of the world: Avoid IBM, it's like voting for Trump all over.

...that someone would publish private information they were paid to recover and not consider that hacking? It's definitely doxxing, right? Unless I'm missing something, asshole is getting everything he deserves for publishing that. He should lose his job and company, too.

...but didn't know how to implement or even present it. But back in the day, I hated going to the post office to get a postal money order and then take it home to mail it off to someone for a payment on something or other that I bought in the back of Computer Shopper or otherwise.

My idea at the time was for the Post Office to present a service where instead of me having to mail the postal order, that I fill in a form and they print the postal money order at the post office nearest the destination and then stick it in that mailbox of that person.

I still think a thing like this would be both valuable and interesting as it would start to negate some of the things like Western Union.

If other retailers are price matching does this start exposing that maybe there is a gigantic markup in photography gear made for the high end?

When civilization fails, you won't be able to hide behind a computer screen and threaten people. Are you sure YOU'RE not gonna be the first to die?

It would be interesting if the 'structure' they offer will be ways of finding all the cops that murdered black people because they're trigger happy around dark skin. I can't say if I'd be upset hearing some vigilantes decide to murder the racist cops who have all taken innocent black lives.

We totally expected that there would be comets that broke the speed of light so we weren't even looking for them when we *Yawn* found one while looking for the planet Cybertron.

Thank you for adding some intelligence, I used to love reading comments in Slashdot but now it makes me wonder what happened to humanity.

The biggest impact social media seems to have had on humans is the idea that if someone disagrees with you, it's because they are obviously stupid and desire your ridicule and vitriol. There no longer seems to be intelligent debate or even discussions on the likes of FB or Twitter in the same way you had it in the old days of Usenet and other public internet forums.

I'm saddened that the average person is more like Donald Trump than any sort of intelligent, thinking being while on the internet and its taking its toll on the smart people who remember what it was like to have a discussion with other smart people.

Agreed. I think that if he can't bother to give the countries the attention they ask for they don't have to do business with facebook. I can see now how many less people would be into the Brexit if they made facebook illegal in Canada and UK. I'm all for this. Facebook isn't so big they can say fuck you to the UK.

...is that I know that a company of Apple's size can't 'turn the company upside down' in just a matter of weeks and expect to find anything.

If this was protected by a gag letter and high clearance, unless Tim Cook has clearance, that part of Apple is hidden from him.

I posted the link to the Onion editorial of the same name the last time they posted it but because Slashdot is lazy about submissions that this has shown up twice, I'm too lazy to paste it in again.
