    For the first three Pis i ordered from element 14/newark, i would agree with you. Shipped within three days. But my 4th one took almost a month from the same vendor. I think that alot of people switched over to newark after the other vendors starting taking too long and have now bogged them down.

    Work is not school. They are not equivalent and you would do very well to remember that. What adults CHOOSE to do when they enter the workplace is VASTLY different from forcing it on a child. I dont know about you, but i have always had the ability to walk away from a job i dont like, kids dont have that option. Are you starting to see the fundamental difference?

    We do it for (arguable) health reasons, and it causes the vast majority no harm AND its entirely voluntary on the parents. TO make your analogy equivalent, we would have to actually snip the head of the penis off entirely, not just its covering.

  9. Failed xbox shrink on Microsoft Reportedly Working On Xbox TV Device · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I have known for a long time the xbox 360 would be relegated to a lower end Xbox gaming device when the next Xbox came out. Im surprised this is a mini, scaled down version that wont run the whole 360 stack though. I figured they would be able to make the 360 cheap/small enough by now to do so.

    This is theft,wholly immoral and should be illegal. You do not correct a wrong by creating a new one. All this does is remind me that copyright law is bought, and has no relationship with justice.

    I was out the other day using Apple maps and on the map were some yelp reviews. So i click on one, which opens the app store asking me to install the yelp app. I wanted to scream at the yelp apps " REALLY? you couldnt just pop open Safari??????????? You want me to install and load up your app, while in the field, just to get a couple of lines of text?????? Just use the fucking browser if the app isnt on the device, all they did was make me never want to use yelp again.

    If society has already deemed you guilty of a crime you didnt do, who gives a flying fuck what their perception is. If the system itself turns on you, what obligation do you have to it?

    The verdict has nothing to do with if I think he did it or not. The verdict only decides if we get to punish him or not. What you call 'arm-chair juror' i call reasoned citizen evaluating how his justice system functions.

  23. Free Speech Zone on campus on How Free Speech Died On Campus · · Score: 1

    At the community college im attending to bone up on some tech skills they have a 'free speech zone' in the main quad. It is hideous that the college has institutionalized where and when free speech can occur. I understand the practicality of such a solution, but i cannot ignore its chilling effect.

    You provide a useful service, thats how. The way you phrased the question itself exposes either your bias or your ignorance. You protect agaisnt piracy by providing a service so good, peopel WANT to give you money. You do it by mutual agreement, not enforcing your position with guns.
