Comment Kemp (Score -1, Flamebait) 452

Bad enough that he stole the election by purging hundreds of thousands of legitimate voters from the voter rolls (like the 92 year old grandmother whose entire registration and history had been disappeared) but now he has to dox people as well.

Guess I shouldn't be surprised. Hell isn't big enough for the Republicans.

Comment Re:Screw Trump (Score 1, Troll) 101

We also can't trust the American government with ownership of mission critical components. And government and corporations are just as entangled here as they are in China, the US government simply does a better job of obfuscating it.

Literally almost everything Trump accuses China of doing, the American government is equally guilty of doing. There are no good guys here.

Comment Screw Trump (Score -1, Troll) 101

Of course, once again, Trump is doing the bidding of his corporate masters. When he isn't busy holding his neo-nazi fascist white supremacist rallies, he is busy enabling them to gouge the American public.

Never mind the fact that Micron et. al have repeatedly engaged in price fixing. Never mind the fact that Chinese DRAM could provide much needed relief for the ridiculous DRAM prices and help computers. Somehow, the fact that the Chinese are threatening the profits of a billion dollar corporation is a matter of national security while the fact that we have people in synagogues being massacred by AR-15 welding far-right terrorists isn't.

American law requires malice, not intent to kill.

Malice can be generally satisfied in one of four ways (with variations between states) :

1.Intent to kill.
2.Intent to inflict serious bodily injury.
3.Felony murder rule (which states that deaths that occur as the result of the commission of some or all felonies such as arson are counted as murder).
4.Depraved heart murder (e.g. engaging in an action, the natural tendency of which is to produce serious injury or death and doing such in a manner evincing a wanton and willful disregard for the consequences).

How San Francisco Hazed a Tech Bro (backchannel.com) 653

An anonymous reader writes: In December 2013 San Francisco's tension with its surging tech class reached a breaking point. Protesters swarmed Google buses. They stood in front of Twitter carrying a coffin labeled "Affordable Housing." Google glassholes were on the rise. In the midst of this, the CEO and founder of AngelHack posted a rant about the homeless. "In downtown SF the degenerates gather like hyenas, spit, urinate, taunt you, sell drugs, get rowdy, they act like they own the center of the city," Greg Gopman wrote. He thought he was becoming a thought leader. Instead, the entire city turned against him. Reviled and suddenly unemployable, Gopman spent a quixotic year spinning up businesses to solve homelessness. His journey is weirdly emblematic of today's startup-fueled San Francisco.

Comment Save money (Score 2, Interesting) 474

Save money by firing all the "drivers" since they absolutely aren't necessary (the trains are automated; the only reason they keep the driver around is to push the "start" button as a concession to unions). Then reinvest that money in actual maintenance costs.

Comment Doesn't fit the SJW agenda (Score 0, Flamebait) 115

I'm not surprised. The fact that the vast majority of the winners were Asians and Whites doesn't fit the SJW agenda so the program had to be cancelled. Intel is more interested in hiring based on skin color rather than merit. Funny how Asians never seem to count as a minority as far as SJWs are concerned despite making up an even lesser amount of the US population than most other minorities.

Comment Dear Germany (Score 0) 728

The US invented the internet. We set the rules, not you.

This is precisely why the UN should never be able to get anywhere near the internet. For all the faults of the US, it has the strongest free speech protections of any country in the world by leaps and bounds. In Europe, free speech doesn't exist because it is illegal to hurt someone's feelings.

Comment Moronic (Score 5, Insightful) 157

This is a perfect example of over-engineering; designing something for flash rather than functionality. It reminds me of the Tesla and people getting locked out of their cars because someone thought it would be a good idea to have retracting door handles (complete with all the moving parts that can break down).

What is wrong with a simple slot for the pen? Why do you need an ejection mechanism? All that does is add unnecessary parts and over complicate the design.
