A while back I discovered that they’re selling photographic film again, so I bought a package of three rolls of 35mm Kodak color film. Not sure what I’ll photograph, but the Minolta 35 mm SLR takes a hell of a lot better pictures than my phone. Actually, than any phone—and any digital camera.
I got home, set the film aside (it’s a lot more expensive than the last time I used film) and looked for my camera, which hadn’t been use
I certainly hope you're right.
Odd, but yours is the only comment. I posted the same thing at S/N and got a ton of responses. Is slashdot dying?
Again, it's giving me wingnut sites from both wings. I'd far rather get it from mainstream sites that have proven their validity over time so I didn't have to check Snopes or Politifact.
All the cops and newspapers are searching for a motive in the horrific mass murder in Las Vegas last week. No connection to any terrorist groups, no indication at all that it would happen, and the newspapers are all asking “Why??”
The answer is simple and I can’t figure out why nobody else can figure it out.
I always referred to the earlier engine as "Infosuck" but damn, Google's getting bad. When I open Google News in Firefox on my tablet, I get a blank page unless I click "request desktop site" and then it still goes nuts. But then, it might be my crappy tablet that I'll probably write about.
The answer is Google broke Google. I've been getting served a misandrist site from there, Breitbart (famous for its fake news) and wingnut sites from both wings. Did Sergey retire or something?
Not until I was at S/N earlier and someone journaled about it. Lately I never visit
Slashdot seems to not be for smart people any more. To misquote 2001: "My God! It's full of morons!"
IIRC it was 3. I hate the new KDE but it will have to do.
...and the old KDE.

Any more I only come here to read journals.
You linked a fact-free opinion piece. The actual amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
It has absolutely nothing to do with the private sector.

I’d been eagerly looking forward to this event since I first heard about it—Illinois was going to see its second total solar eclipse in its history as a state, and no one alive had ever seen an Illinois total eclipse. It happened in 1869 and totality passed right through Springfield, the state’s capital. Then, as now, people were very excited.
Fiber is already there, along the railway line from Narvik and eastwards. There is no permafrost in this area, most of it is sea and bedrock, within which the mines were located. As for distance, even a large town such as Tromsø is further north and further away from the rest of Europe.
There is no permafrost in this area. This is built on bedrock, and close to the coast.
No politician in my life has been caught telling so many incredibly stupid, easily disproven lies. He lies moe and worse than my ex-wife. Like her, he'll keep lying to you even when he knows you know he's lying.
Lying on a sworn statement is NOT normal for any politician. That's what fraudsters do (he did settle a fraud claim).
And no, I'm not a Democrat. I vote candidate, not party. Of the four that ran, IMO none would have been a good President; historians say that James Buchanan was our worst (he caused the civil war), and his pre-presidential career was very similar to Hillary's.
Maybe next time the parties will actually nominate someone who is qualified.
Not surprising, considering all the other bald faced lies he's been shown to tell. It is likely that he was once six three, because one shrinks as one ages. I've lost two inches in the last twenty years.
