I'm tired of hearing this "companies exist only to maximize profits" garbage. Companies are controlled by people. People do not exist to maximize how much money they can make, therefore they are free to choose to control a company in a way such that it does something less profitable but more moral. There's never any proof that it's why companies exist anyway. It's just an 'edgy' way to look at society ('companies don't care about you, they only want profits'), but where is the proof that companies must maximize profits at all costs? It's just always asserted without any evidence or reasoning. It is a net loss to society if all companies exploited loopholes and so forth.
Why do you have such a problem with the state compelling you to pay for something you might not like? That's the entire basis of the tax system. From what you've written it seems to follow that you're against all taxes.
A YouTuber by the name of InternetAristocrat has 3 videos on this matter. It's worth watching these to fully understand the details of this situation.

Why is it, when faced with stories like this, is your first instinct to claim that the woman lied or made it up?
Because that woman's name is Anita Sarkeesian. And fwiw I don't think she made it up but I do realize that she THRIVES off conflict like this. She WANTS this shit to happen to her to justify her bullshit. She creates unrest then profits off the conflict.

Iti s not because a woman wrote it, its because SARKEESIAN wrote it. FYI she's a fucking professional flamebaiter. She riles people up by creating the most offensive and inflammtry, and MISLEADING videos then cries to the press "help, people are being mean to me". She asked for it and she got it. She WANTS this publicity because it further helps her continue this cycle of bullshit. Do your homework on her before being a SJW (ending your 'people be being mean to her because she woman' ) and you will quickly understand the hatred for her.
What a great argument. Something going potentially wrong is a great reason to ban that thing outright. That's why they banned six year olds from walking around - they could potentially fall down and serverely harm themselves in the process.
LEARN WHEN PRINCIPLES MATTER. You need statistics. Not principles to win your argument.
Keep that in mind. Facebook is not a company of technological excellence (Apple) or software excellence (Google), but simply got lucky for being the social site that everyone went to.
No, it would be better if software developers wrote software that draws in such a way that it takes up the same amount of area on the screen regardless of DPI.
Your hand waving abilities are not as strong as you think.
It's not reasonable to expect such behaviour. Regardless, it's not acceptable and that's what matters. I agree that acting shocked isn't going to help anyone's cause but something should be done to stop the NSA from being out of control.
It's ridiculous in this day and age that an OS can fail to make random numbers properly. That's one of the most basic operations. How lazy/incompetent are the Google programmers?

>Granted I'm not a language expert/theorist, but most of us that code for a living aren't. What exactly do you mean by this?

No, that's not how reality works. Sorry.
1080p is not meaningless. Turn your screen to 3/4ths of its native resolution and see how meaningless that is to you.
Memristors are a fundamental change in computation. Fuck dell and their bullshit spewing CEOs. Burn in hell dell.

Not instantly. Monkeys don't type infinitely fast. It would still take time for each monkey's key press.

Why not just use an accelerometer to track in 3d space?

whey shakes dont contain all the nutrients the human body requires
It's outrageous that a writer in modern times would so blatantly try to induce outrage in his readers. PEOPLE ARE TEXTING IN MEETINGS, THE HORROR!
They aren't flight-critical devices.

well the evidence is a dead body. Surely if you kill someone it is YOU who needs to build up evidence to show that it was not manslaughter (or w/e).
If it aint broke, encourage people to waste their time learning an entire language only to be used once.What a great use of time. Not.
When will they begin to block general proxies, as they can be used to access blocked sites?
Windows 8 was just too much of a learning curve for them
You mean Windows 8 was too complicated for them. "Learning curve" is not the appropriate term.
