Wasn't school education not in the least invented to have standardized workers to use in industry? So no, of course it shouldn't be that way, but maybe that's what it started out as, and is supposed to be, if it wasn't for teachers who genuinely love people and teaching, and pupils who love to be subversive and challenge their teachers. Who knows what we would have without those two factors... probably people with moustaches and top hats implanting steam powered chips into the brains of starving people in blue overalls.
Don't get me wrong though, my kudos to all good teachers, *because* so many teachers suck so very badly, and because the houses they have to work in are basically coated in evil slime (whatever that is lol) more often than not. Have a nice day and never give up.
People with a brain. But that's not something a spineless dumb MS shill like you would understand. Why not move along? Your bitterness about having no cojones whatsoever is not relevant here.
There is a reason FOSS is in a niche, and MS is the platform of choice for almost every business class system... It works in a way that a lot of people can deal with.
If you had to explain to family why you quit your job, do you realize how fucking retarded it sounds to say "I quit because of principles. I refuse to work for a company that buys from Microsoft"
I wouldn't father children with a woman who doesn't fucking pay attention, and doesn't extrapolate, to begin with. But hey that's just me. Apparently this is more about you and your family or something?
Every platform has pros and cons
So do political systems. You could say that about everything, it's just sophistry filler. Would you say the same to someone in 1940s Germany quitting their job for the Nazi party? "oh, but everything has pros and cons *scratches beard in a wise manner*". Well, so does having priorities other than you, for example.
Now feel free to go nuts over me making that comparison, but you basically say food over principles, and I say that doesn't leave much food in the long run to be used for anything worth a damn. Everybody dies anyway, see heat death of the universe. It's how we spend the time is what makes the only difference. Nobody surives, no memories survive, everything is irrelevant and dust. What matters is wether your soul soars or is tethered to the fears of mediocre people and blind, doomed materialism. That is all there is. But I digress.
Then fucking quit you idiot. Go start your own company founded on whatever principles you want and make your own platform decisions then.
Oh, and maybe ask slashdot for pointers? What exactly is your problem then?
"You're a douche. In an economy where many people have been unemployed for so long that they're just dropping out of the workforce altogether, you're fretting over "FUD" because your company did a normal thing and switched products?"
I wonder if mindlessly going along with that shit has anything to do with the situation you claim is a good argument for mindlessly going along....
I never spoke any dialect. And sure, maybe people say it as NeutronCowboy in some German dialects. If so, that dialect hasn't been pointed out, and in "informal high german", it's just completely wrong. And in any dialect I can call to mind right now, people seem to use "tomorrow it does" more so than "tomorrow it will". That's anecdote against anecdote, hence Google.Sure, people use the correct form when they read from a book or give a press conference, and there's always those who use a language as if on stilts, even if speaking it natively, but that's about it. Kinda like in English you'd say "don't" in 99% of the cases, yet Obama says "do not" just about every time. Does that count? Sure, it counts into the odds of "several thousand to one".
He said that something that is possible, but very, very rare, is the more common case. That's just BS no matter what angle you looked at it, hence the pitiful attempt of distraction from the original claim. As if that claim was worth defending to begin with, lol.
Ugh, please don't use a google search return as proof for anything. It's complete junk data.
Right. Cuz you say so:D
No offense moron, but I'm German.
What a coincidence, so am I. But contrary to you I speak the language as well ^^
your distinction between the written formalism and spoken idioms is clearly lacking
Oh yeah, how so? Why not simply admit you got it 100% upside down, which you did?
Furthermore, your English is clearly deficient as well, since you don't understand the various caveats I had put into my sentences. Do you at least understand Latin? Should I translate what caveat means for you, including its use in idiomatic English?
Hahaha, more hot air. Awwww.
"However, it is far more common to say "
^ Clearly you were talking about the written word. Hahaha.
And yes, I know the differnce between formal language and what people actually use, in speech or written: that's why I said "sure, that's correct, but that's not how people usually say it". Which is the truth I don't see you debating. Sooo... anything else?
Congratulations, you're the reason I'm suspicious of Germans I meet.
So you get problems when you make false claims and get corrected? Or have we met before? I'm confused. No wait, your post is just a whole lot of bluff, it's not like you're actually tackling my correction./blockquote
Nope, you actually "morgen regnet es" (it rains tomorrow) is much more common than "morgen wird es regnen" (it will rain tomorrow), surely in informal language. Or let's take the more realistic use case, expressing the hope that it won't rain tomorrow: "hoffentlich regnet's morgen nicht" is a way more common than "hoffentlich wird es morgen nicht regnen". Same for "morgen werde ich nach Hause gehen"... sure it's the correct form, but "morgen gehe ich nach Hause" is what we actually say in actual conversation most of the time.
"regnet's"is just a contraction of "regnet es", so I guess you could add those two up. And that's written language on the interwebs, not even speech.
Note that I haven't read the TFA and it might very well be silly, but what you claimed is simply incorrect as well. Having spoken (what bits you knew of) German a while ago doesn't equate to knowing the daily use of the language by native speakers, and I'm tired of that arrogance/stupidity. No offense to you personally, but you're not the first American who makes claims about German because they can say some gibberish in it. It actually seems to be the norm. Just cut it out? Learn the language or don't, but don't fucking teach it before you learned it.
Yeah, or sex, or even throwing and catching things! No wait, wrong audience. Well, there's always gaming. Or pinball. Or verbal communication. Or riding a bike. Shit, wrong audience again:D
I guess with sniping the biggest challenge is to keep the question "what am I doing, and why am I doing it?" from popping up (in video games as well as in the military). Other than that, it's just a primitive case of what all of us do, all the time?
Just an idea: if you're not in the zone, you're either learning something new (and too bewildered to get into any groove), or you're simply doing the wrong things (or doing the right things for the wrong people or reasons). Not being in the zone, like pain, is a warning signal. Tear down the corrupt, idiotic charade we call society, and there'd be plenty of "flow" to go around.
But that's too radical, training monkeys is more their speed. The End.
Opinions, of course, are a good thing to look for on Facebook/social networks. Factual information isn't;
How do I *search* for opinions of others on Facebook?
That's not even possible.
Not that I really disagree with what you're saying, but you (and maybe TFV, which I didnd't watch) are basically comparing querying a database with asking friends? I'd agree that that's "kind of a database", too, but so is asking Slashdot, or Stackoverflow, or any forum really. That always existed, it even predated the web (think newsgroups), and to me, that's what you do when you don't find the answer with a search engine, or on sites you know to be knowledgeable on the subject (I'd have thought that Wikipedia alone is taking a bigger chunk out of search engines than Facebook by the way, heh).
So what changed? I don't get it:(
Before this article, the idea to search for anything meaningful on Facebook didn't even occur to me. Now it occured to me, and I dismiss it as the stupid idea it is:D Posting something on the wall for friends, that's not any different from emailing people in my mind.. and it has fuck all to do with Facebook or other "social apps", me and people I like, or strangers who have interesting things to say, bring that to the party, and take it away when we leave. It's like a bus stop doesn't create "traveling", curious people do. A good bus should have not flat tires etc., and also, it should shut the fuck up already. Now that's a good bus worth paying the fare, and that's what goes completely over the heads of a lot of web monkeys.
The last time I heard one, which was many, many moons ago. It's not like it costs much to have a look. Just like it doesn't cost much to try again later, or press "ignore" when a CA doesn't respond.
"Good to know that Google knows, so I don't have to know." Haha.
That'd be a typo/mistake actually:P But oh well, the fun is in the chase...while I had you, we were something very special, baby. And they cannot take that away from us!
They lost me at "the dinner plate connected to social networking sites"
Yeah. To open the article with such stuff, and then think that the following "These are just a few of the dreams being chased" sounds awesome and epic, instead of the zenith of stupidity, well... to each their own.
Just take the space elevator, which they cite as another example (I guess that puts "plate that twitters what you eat" and "space evelator" on the same level if you will, another indicator of pure brain power)... apparently it's all just "open space up for private exploitation, after public subsidy opened the door" -- the video stops VERY short of simply putting it like that haha, it's amazing. Though it doesn't mention that spacefare in the first place we owe to war and many, many millions of dead people, but hey, who cares. It also doesn't point out that private property in space means police and ultimately military and space, but hey, who cares when you can ride the laser beam ^^
Me, I just wonder about one thing: if "getting into space" (to do what? "same shit on a wider canvas" of course) gets people so excited -- thinking of the music to the space elevator video here -- I *really* want to hear the music they have for solving corruption, the imbalance between poor and rich, and lack of drinkable water.
"Our generation will go to space", is that the battle cry of a total pathetic looser or what? You know, the generation that managed to be out of place on its own home planet, is going to sit around in space, with a digital watch, butt scratching and ad watching. I cannot fucking wait. Mind you, I love technology, I'm all for cheap solar satellites and research, and I'm all for going to space, too. But I still call pathetic, idiotic, shallow, spineless bullshit on all of this, just to be on the safe side.
they lost me at "fridge that can order food". by now I'm kinda hoping that is code for something else? it was funny the first time that was brought up ages ago, but now it's becoming scary... I say fuck that, instead I'd prefer robots that a.) grow food and give it to hungry (not to mention starving) people and b.) shoot anyone who is too lazy to go to the grocery store:P

Okay, now that the hardest part is solved - where to punch them in?
Sarcasm? That is so unamerican not even a stinkin' commie would dare to use it!!! For shame. >:[

Then explain to me why you anonymous MS shills are going so apeshit over this.....? Huh.
So does rape for some rapists. What's your point?
