"people who's great grand parents stole the land they live on today."
You obviously have no concept of historic reality. Everyone stole the land they're on unless they bought it. In the past buying was rare. Instead people invaded, conquored, killed, raped, intermarried, enslaved and merged in time. It was the way. Stop being such a nationalist bigot.
The best solution: Stick to a plain old text editor and write your own HMTL, Javascript, etc.
This brings up a pet peeve of mine:
Companies like Apple are driving software into obsolescence when there are no alternative titles for a lot of the software. Example: Apple should not be abandoning Rosetta and they should not have abandoned Classic. They are an enormous company with tremendous resources. They could easily keep emulation for these older systems going.
It is irresponsible of Apple to create obsolescence of hardware by discontinuing operating system and technical support for older systems. This policy of Apple's creates more trash filling the landfills and is a waste of resources.
The solution is for Apple to make new software intelligently scaleable such that it recognizes the hardware it is being installed on and adjusts to fit within the memory footprint and hardware's capabilities. Yes, certain new features like transparent window shadows will not be available but there are many improvements which can be continued to offer for older hardware such as the folders in the new iOS which do not need any advanced hardware capability.
The benefit to Apple is they can continue getting sales of operating systems each year as they offer new versions of the OS with new features. Additionally Apple will gain more market penetration as the old hardware is kept active and passed down in families resulting in a larger user installed base. Charge for the technical support - obviously. Just keep offering AppleCare.
Apple should also encourage developers to support the furthest back operating systems and hardware possible.
"When there are no employees left, how will humans earn the money to buy products with? Your point is entirely valid. Automation and robotics are replacing jobs faster than they are being created now."
So stop whining and create your own job. Be creative. Innovate. Produce.
It is irresponsible of Google to create obsolescence by discontinuing support for older systems. This policy creates more trash filling the landfills and is a waste of resources. Many people have older hardware that won't run newer browers. Google's action is going to force people to throw away perfectly good hardware. This is anything but green. Bad, Google. Google's doing evil, again.
Hmm... Well, if you find children to make you unhappy, eat your time and expensive then you're doing it all wrong. Yes, if you follow the Parenting Magazine rules it may be that way but that still doesn't change the fact that you're doing it wrong. The reality is that it costs little more to raise a child than it does to already exist. Having a child does not change my housing budget (biggest expense), taxes (next biggest) and does almost nothing to my food budget. Basic clothing and other things are hardly expensive.
Reality: Kids are a lot of fun, bring joy to our lives, provide more hands and minds to get things done and pay for themselves many times over without being very expensive at all. Children our a wonderful investment in the future.
What we need are more people in the world to help solve the big problems. But if you don't want to breed, don't worry, I'll have a big family to make up for you.
Nature dumps most fetuses before you're even aware you are pregnant. I realize you probably didn't know that. I do a lot of work with selective breeding. Of all the embryos fertilized very few gestate and are delivered. Do read up about this. You'll find that human purposeful abortion is actually a minor thing.
Definite science project. The whole thing from wooing to breeding to birth to development through adulthood. We spaced ours apart by five years so we could repeat the experiments to test for statistical validity in our sample set. The cool part is you can let the kids participate in, at least some, of the experiment. Kids are great fun!
It is your fault. You should be building more devices from scratch. It is your responsibility to prop up the economy of sparts. In fact if you harvest your own sparts from discarded devices (ddevices) then those sparts (spare parts) get recycled. First take them to Radio Shack so you can buy them back.
People should get more in touch with their food. I prefer raising mine and do. I don't say everyone has to but get closer. At the very least buy from local farmers who are raising animals on pasture. Pasture forage is sunshine, CO2 and H2O. It cleans the air you breath. It feeds the animal. You eat the animal. We are all part of the web of life. In time you too shall feed something, unless you choose to go extra crispy (cremation) or pickled.
which would inflame tensions in the Middle East and provoke Iran into destroying Israel.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
Except, the actual event will be that Israel will fight back, retaliate and destroy Iran - paving it as a future glass parking lot. Israel will then annex Iran and harvest the oil. Read your history.
On the other hand, there are very valid and good uses for this. I wish I could afford it. It would be a wonderful tool for managing our farm and forests. Arial maps are extremely useful but the government ones are such low resolution. I want more data.
He admitted his guilt for a great many things, enough to get him executed, so there is no innocence.
Frankly I don't find the porn finding at all strange - this is typical. High mucky-muck leaders tell their followers to do as they say but not as they do. They are hypocrites. SOP.
It always puzzled me why people tried so hard to conform. I had too much real stuff to do. Still do. Am I a better adult? I'm independent. The government probably doesn't think I'm better as they like conformers. On the other hand, I am one of those who has innovated so the government tolerates us.
With the dolphins there is a small problem of different speaking and hearing tonal ranges. We have other cousins in the animal kingdom where this is not such a handicap. I've been fascinated for decades with the work with Koko and others. I've been working on similar research with our wolf friends. We have a pack who works on our farm (the wolf guarding the sheep... and pigs...) so I have gotten to work with them from birth for many of their generations. I don't need a fancy AI to crack their code - I'm the I. Since we have the same vocal range and about the same visual range we can communicate. We have about 300 signs and vocalizations that we use. Recently I've introduced sign backs with the latest generation. Part of what is exciting about this sort of work is that there is on the one hand the language they have that is seemingly universal and then there is what they have learned and are teaching their pups. That's culture.
Blu-ray isn't all that much better than DVDs and I already have a DVD player and content on DVDs. No need to buy either all over again. All this upgrading over and over again of hardware, software, media and content is just a scam to try to get us to pay for the same thing many times. I'm not buying it.
There have been a number of studies that have shown that the most effective form of birth control is educating the girls. As their education goes up their reproductive rate goes down.
But that isn't the real issue. We need more people. We need a lot more people thinking about how to get off this rock and into space before we face extinction.
I'm not so worried about CO2, water vapor and such "pollutants". As you correctly noted, they've been higher and lower in the past. I'm more worried about dioxins, PBCs, mercury in the food chain and their ilk. GMO's getting out in the wild are another worry, not because I have something against genetic engineering (It's a tool like nuclear engineering) but because they're not doing sufficient testing.
Also not in the news is the fact that the sea level used to be a LOT higher than it is now and it used to be a LOT lower than it is now. Things change. That's life. None of it had anything to do with humans.
The planet has also been warmer and cooler in the past. When the planet was warmer there was more diversity of life, large swaths of land that are currently too cold for much bio-diversity were more useable by nature and man. When it got colder it was hell. Things change. Given my druthers I would take warmer, please.
With all of this angst over "Global Warming" people are missing the real issue: cut pollution.
This is like the livestock's long shadow mess they did a while back. They claimed that raising meat is responsible for more global warming than transportation (e.g., cars). This became widely quoted and used as an excuse by the vegan crowd for trying to force every to stop eating meat. The problem was the report was full of errors and in general a fraud. It didn't include the full costs of transportation yet it over included the costs for livestock resulting in totally distorted numbers. More importantly it didn't differentiate between the grain fed confinement animal feeding operations vs the pastured farming of livestock which are two entirely different things. All animal farming got painted with the same broad brush. Additionally, they completely failed to mention that the growing of vegetable and grain crops for humans has the exact same problem and that it takes several pounds of veggies/cereals to equal one pound of nutrients of meat. Finally the FAO did retract their report but they didn't make a big deal about the retraction like they had when they published it and the vegan crowd continues to use the flawed original report as justification for their eco/political terrorism. The UN, FAO, etc are very irresponsible with their reports and press releases.

We need fewer lawyers and more people doing real work, creative work, like taking photos. NYSE is a con-artist.

This article was disappointing drivel. Examples:
I'm not sure what the writer is whining about. I still have keyboard shortcuts.
Termination of process? It's easily available. Oh, you don't have UNIX or a MacOS? Too bad. Get it.
Scroll bars and page control are easily mastered from the keyboard. Oh, you're not on a MacOS. Right.
All his words sound like the whining of a mosquito. No substance. Moving along.
Beautiful example of too much government.

The price is nearly $10,000 US.
This is one of the most interesting items to float across SlashDot in a long time. This could be very useful.
