    The people pushing for more women in IT are true misogynists.

    Absolutely NOT. They are feminists that are a minority within women trying to force other women into careers they don't want because you know we need to have an equal distribution of every possible demographic in every possible discipline even if that's not what the people actually want. It's a cult.

    It's funny you got modded funny because it's pretty close to reality. I honestly hope California becomes its own country then they can go bankrupt with their socialist economy without dragging the rest of the country down.

    Welcome to the future, we've renamed everything to make it better.

    Nope they didn't just rename it, they did something. First, it was co-located spaces in the office to save money, then it was co-located spaces where multiple companies can share the cost of office space now it's co-living spaces where the employees pay all the cost of the office space AND receive a lower salary and benefits because you know, it's nerdy and cool to be in the exclusive club of Silicon Valley douche bags. This is one reason among many I will NEVER live in California. Another big one is CARB gas cans, you know that don't actually work and break after 2-3 uses so you can supposedly save the planet from gasoline fumes going into the atmosphere. California is a bunch of elitist, spoiled, entitled, greedy idiots.

  5. Article is trash on iOS 11 'Is Still Just Buggy as Hell' (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This article (more like a blog post) sounds like a teenager ranting in the most irrational way not providing coherent evidence for their claims many of which are ambiguous. Any review that uses terminology like "sucks" or "monkey armpits" and juxtaposes Samsung vs. Apple without any real comparison of the two products sounds like an article that isn't interested in providing useful information to consumers. They either 1) want to just rant and listen to themselves talk or 2) want to get ad revenue from sensationalism or both.

    Why does this trash keep getting posted to slashdot?

    If you're fearful of corporations but not equally fearful of the government, that's not wise.

    It wasn't extremely hard to find food but I'm thinking there were a lot of people in America in 1776 who were actually starving.

    There are people starving now. Starvation is directly correlated with the size of the global population. More people = more starvation. That has nothing to do with the original claim though.

    ...a nice true socialism

    If you add hookers, weed and mercury-free tuna rolls, I'm in.

    I'd strike the hookers (to each their own) but add in significantly reducing or eliminating wage slavery, then I'm in too. I think the problem is in the high tax socialism system it is just another form of a wage slavery. Either you're a slave to the government or you're a slave to the corporation, pick your poison. Personally, I'd choose the free market and corporation. Why you ask? It's simple. Under high tax socialism, you're guaranteed to be a wage slave for life. In the free market system, at least if you know how to play the game well, you can actually get to personal freedom at some point in your lifetime. One is a mathematical possibility, the other is not.

    Yes but that was because drinking stored water was often hazardous. So the brewed lots and lots of small beer. Between the presence of the good yeast and the small amount of alcohol they did produce it drove a lot of the nastier bugs off.

    anonymous comments can no longer be considered truly anonymous. Got it.

    You know what's remarkably interesting about this? Assuming that the person isn't using a proxy, at best, you could trace the IP address back to a particular residence but the thing is, there is no way to correlate that information with a specific person. Is it one of the people who live at said address? Not necessarily. It could have been someone who came over and jumped in the guest WIFI. Worse, what if the person who posted that was at Starbucks? It just isn't feasible.

    I'm sure that we could if we really wanted to. Of course, how hard we have to work the kill the planet depends on what you mean by killing it. Killing off all life on the planet? Not too hard, actually. All we need to do is trigger a run-away greenhouse effect that turns the planet into a new Venus. Some people are worried that we're already on the path to doing that. Of course, if you mean destroying the planet by reducing it to an asteroid field (like say the Death Star did) that's quite a bit more challenging. I'm still sure we could do it, but we'd have to do it deliberately and methodically. Maybe weakening the mantle strategically and then using a gigatonnes of nuclear explosions to rip the Earth's core open? I'm not sure that's the best approach but I'm sure it could be done.

    Very good. I believe none of the things you mentioned are logically equivalent to what is being referred to as "killing the planet" by climate change alarmists. That's precisely the point.

    This is likely to be true despite the psychologically uncomfortable truth.

It's us, like the dinosaurs, that would go extinct.
