Why should wikipedia BE "the unfiltered internet"? I'm not saying delete the stuff, but a working filter that can be requested(!) by the user and/or network administrator, would mean that children can use this free education resource, which has some valuable content, 99.9999% of which is not porn or violence etc.
So why not just add an "X-Think-of-the-children" header to all outgoing requests, and websites that want to can think of the children. What that means exactly, is up to the website. THERE, SOLVED, NEXT.
But spare me the "but think of the basement dwellers" bullshit, yeah? You guys keep it up, and "but think of freedom of speech" will become a joke just like you consider "but think of the children!" to be one now -- and you'll rest bitterly in the knowledge of having asked for that joke, repeatedly and loudly. "yeah yeah, freedom of speech, isn't that what pedophiles keep going on about." And I'm not gloating or happy about that prospect; but you keep spazzing and procrastinating, and it'll happen.
If these things, and looking out for each other, are too hard or complicated for you, then kindly shut the fuck up. If you're only a geek because you're a sociopath, then just die, technology needs you not. Yes, censorship sucks, but so does ignoring those who can't defend themselves, who wouldn't even know any harm is done to them. So fuck that, and fuck you, because that sociopathy and nothing else is the issue here. Bye.
Look at the destruction and fallout caused the only time nuclear weapons were used. The more countries that have nuclear weapons, the more likely it is that they will be used.
Yeah yeah, you just write that. But let's actually LOOK at the one time nukes were used -- it was when only one party had nukes. So your second sentence is upside down?
It's kinda like when a man beats his wife -- the wife going to a gym and learning some kickboxing, will NOT "double the chance of domestic violence happening", and only someone with bad intentions or Stockholm Syndrom would say otherwise.
And no, I'm not saying this example can be just transferred to nukes, heh. But your conclusion is still bullshit sophistry and I resent it.
The less consequences someone has to fear for brutalizing others, the more likely is they'll do it. "Consequences" can even include simply having a bad conscience -- where that is not a given, baaaad things will happen. America has largely been constrained from within, but constrained it has been, make no fucking mistake, and don't dream yourself better or even different that the Nazis or the Soviet Union or China; any difference between the USA and those countries has been fought for, people actually died for that (and no, I don't mean the racket that is war, either, soldiers never have and never will die for shit), and now it's being pissed down the drain. That's were we are at./rant
That's quite the nuts strawman. You really believe a single word of what you just wrote?
America has been threatening to ruin and run other's people shit since before TNT was invented, much less the nukes. So yeah, by your logic.... no wait, that wasn't logic at all, that was just a plain, cheap lie.
"trying to sell a book", yeah, that's really shady. if someone, who is "trying to sell a book", is criticizing people who are successfully selling death, slavery and stupidity, it's pretty clear who's the crook. writing books is the career choice for greedy scumfucks, after all.
I don't know (or care) if it improves my productivity though... when I need to concentrate, I'll turn it off, and when I'm highly fascinated by what I'm doing, I'll forget to turn it on. But sometimes, at least the way I go about it, coding is just a predictable chore rather solving problems or learning stuff, and this music helps me keep even that sexy and relevant. Oh yeah. ^^
where instead of having discrete "emails" we will have "conversations".
Oh, you mean like instead of saying "words", we have "conversations", too? Or how facebook conversations aren't made up of discrete messages? No, wait...
Email is fine, and does everything supposed successors do... but it's an open protocol, that's no good; so bring on the sophistry and meaningless gibberish.
Sure, but chit-chat with friends ain't "computing". Well, not more than, say, using a microwave oven is. Everything has "computers in it", so what. Try to keep up.
Knowledge, dunno... but I love this bit to bits, from Book of Wisdom, 7:22-30:
For wisdom, which is the worker of all things, taught me: for in her is an understanding spirit holy, one only, manifold, subtil, lively, clear, undefiled, plain, not subject to hurt, loving the thing that is good quick, which cannot be letted, ready to do good, Kind to man, steadfast, sure, free from care, having all power, overseeing all things, and going through all understanding, pure, and most subtil, spirits. For wisdom is more moving than any motion: she passeth and goeth through all things by reason of her pureness. For she is the breath of the power of God, and a pure influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty: therefore can no defiled thing fall into her. For she is the brightness of the everlasting light, the unspotted mirror of the power of God, and the image of his goodness. And being but one, she can do all things: and remaining in herself, she maketh all things new: and in all ages entering into holy souls, she maketh them friends of God, and prophets. For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom. For she is more beautiful than the sun, and above all the order of stars: being compared with the light, she is found before it. For after this cometh night: but vice shall not prevail against wisdom.
In that book, Job says "it's not fair", and God says *not a beep* to contradict that -- he just goes on and on bragging how great he is. And the friends, who say what you're saying, who rationalize and say God would never do an unfair or evil thing, get roared at for having no fucking clue what they're talking about. "See the book of Job" - are you just name dropping, or have you ever read the thing?
Also, see the rest of the bible. "Is there evil in the city and God has not done it?"
Then why (claim to) punish people for it? If someone tells people to rub chili sauce on their wounds, I can just say "he's wrong, don't listen to him", then sit back, and expect people to realize I was right. Just let stuff run its course, you know... If instead I quarter and burn them for having put chili sauce on their wounds, they might not even notice the chili sauce wasn't a good idea; they would correctly perceive ME as the cause of their (major) suffering.
That's just the cold hard facts, the rest is squirming. Yet God doesn't squirm that way? E.g. He basically just tells Job to suck it up because God's been around, and Job hasn't. And bitches at Job's friends who do what you're doing, rationalizing it, and blaming Job.
You really think you can explain to us what is going on in God's mind, with your twisted, FUBAR notions of logic and fairness? That is so nuts and hilarious at the same time. God may exist, but his books are fucking dumb taken as a whole, and so are the people parroting them -- and a God able to make me surely knows that already.
Except somewhere along the way, near-Pixel-Perfect became a standard to be judged against
That's funny.. I totally despise fixed-width websites. They're just lame, have no reason to exist (in 99% of the cases).. every monkey can make them, and every monkey does.
Dunno about IE7, not even IE8 can do anything remotely fun or pretty. Oh, you meant a website that looks like ass, or uses graphics for every single thing? Yeah, that's possible with IE, sure. But otherwise, you couldn't be more wrong, there are worlds of difference between IE7 and (modern versions of) Firefox and Chrome. Don't believe me? http://caniuse.com/
^ no inline blocks, no:before and:after, no opacity (yeah, there's a speshul IE version of it, great) -- nope, unless you use a lots of graphics, there isn't shit you can do with that thing. Just accept that.
And don't even get me started on Javascript... there is just no way.
Also, this is about the admin interface! For my own first attempt at a CMS I did it the same way: IE visitors get something that looks okay-ish, visitors with a real browsers get to see the real website. Users with IE can use POST and be happy, users with real browsers get Javascript bling. But profile owners and admins have to use a modern browser, or fuck off. That approach saved me thousands of seconds of work, and many hundred bytes, so why shouldn't that scale for bigger projects? ^^
If you're too fucking stupid to parse the meaning of a sentence despite the tiniest of errors, you're in no position to diss people for making such errors; they're dancing circles around you.
That goes for all 3 of you predictable, redundant nitwits.
But that photo might just be part of her press kit or something? It seems to be attached to every second article written by her. And actually, I don't see a difference between that and the photos good looking male devs choose of themselves. Instead of staring straight into the camera, maybe with a hand under the chin, thinker style, black white -- she stares off into the distance, having visions of a nicely well designed and succinctly coded future or something. Same thing, really, and I see nothing particarly exploitative about that.
Sure, there's always people who find some bullshit flaw based on superficiality... but not all feminists are totally rabid man-haters, so I don't even know where that was coming from... who was talking about "feminists"? And why is there no word for maleists, btw? You really think not having a word makes it invisible? L.M.A.O.
It's already established you live in a needy, dumb fantasy world; why repeat it? Is this some kind of "but I've been meaning to shit my pants" thing; Repeat it often enough and brag about it, and it becomes okay? Well no.

I know you guys are trolls, but what am I? Cowards. At least it's consistent with the idiocy you're spouting... next.

Here's the stuff I'm often coding to -- I guess it's a mixture of the last two you listed; "good mood deadline" :D

You're right, coding to standards is a good idea. IE basically locked itself out.
Sure, but chit-chat with friends ain't "computing". Well, not more than, say, using a microwave oven is. Everything has "computers in it", so what. Try to keep up.

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

Yet he warned to not fear those "who can only kill you", but the one who can "kill you AND throw you into hell".
Nice try I guess.
That's funny .. I totally despise fixed-width websites. They're just lame, have no reason to exist (in 99% of the cases).. every monkey can make them, and every monkey does.
More, nay, all the power to them!
Sure, but unless you're into Geocities nostalgia or masochism, you'll end up with a website that sucks.

Nah we can't, the flag doesn't do anything :P
Yeah, that's exactly the kind of thinking that letting others work for you produces. Flabby, useless, dissolves when exposed to daylight. SSDD.
If you're too fucking stupid to parse the meaning of a sentence despite the tiniest of errors, you're in no position to diss people for making such errors; they're dancing circles around you.

You're not only ignorant as fuck, I doubt you have empathy to begin with, so don't brag about a causal relation that doesn't exist haha.
why should signing a petition be complicated, or amount to work? wtf is your point? sure you even have one?
