Actually, civilized and lawful people often have interests that coincide. That's how Google made billions of dollars. Exchange and cooperation for mutual benefit.
That's it. I think I'm done with Slashdot. I was going to quit as soon as their new UX took effect, but if they're going to post stories like this, no point in staying even that long.
I actually doubt this. Not only have I never seen a reputable source reporting this, from personal experience videogamers and other techies are about the least likely segment of the population to ever do this. Lawyers, salesmen, politicians... those are the groups that might act like this.
It's an invalid point. The 'shittiest jobs' are low-paid because they're menial, require no skill, and anybody can do them. The shitty jobs that require intelligence and skill are... highly paid. And there are many shitty jobs that are highly paid.
It isn't decided by race, gender, or economic status. It's decided by the market, and the demand for the work an individual is able to do.
I just signed it, worked ok. Had to create an account; first petition I've ever signed. I think they're generally nonsense, but this issue has raised my hackles enough I'm going to do all the nutty 'awareness raising' I can.
Ok, this isn't rigorous at all (obviously), but it seems to me that if the size of the gap continuously grew, but fluctuated randomly, you would still have an infinite number of primes close together even though the average distance between them never stopped increasing. They would become fewer and fewer, but never stop, and hence would be infinite.
Not doubting the guy's work, but I'm doubting the summary's "the gaps between consecutive numbers don't keep growing forever."
Personally I know of no software that can currently reverse a jpeg into raw.
Me neither, and now that I think of it, that's kind of a glaring hole. Somebody needs to write one, so that the entire chain of evidence can be faked. At this point, I think it's better to establish in everybody's mind that no photos can be trusted, rather than some notion that the fakes can still be distinguished from the real.
I doubt it has anything to do with race, and everything to do with 'chemicals'. Chemicals are scary and the tool of terrorists and criminals. Bombs, cancer, and chakra depletion are because of chemicals.
I think you may be missing the point of condemning racism if you find it acceptable to casually condemn an entire region as being of similar mind.
Exactly, and that goes on a lot, even among otherwise intelligent people. "That *large diverse group* is so bigoted!"
Not only are comments like that repulsive because of their innate stupidity, they're harmful because they are recasting the basic elements of racism and bigotry in a more socially tolerable guise, against a group that the poster feels it's OK to condemn based on stereotypes.
And I'm not from the south, so this isn't defensiveness. It's irritation. Just think about what you say.

You realize that this is one issue where nearly all the Republican and Democrat politicians agree?
Actually, civilized and lawful people often have interests that coincide. That's how Google made billions of dollars. Exchange and cooperation for mutual benefit.

He said increase in funding, not reduction of deficit. They're related, but not the same thing.
Why not? Free housing is charity. Free food and water is charity. Those are more important than healthcare.
Nothing wrong with charity, until people begin trying to force it.
And you're back to perpetuating sexism instead of trying to get rid of it.
Check out Cosmopolitan magazine. The women who buy that are obviously incredibly sexist and view women as objects.

Dammit. Posting to undo moderation. You deserve an 'informative' which I can no longer give.

There comes a point where, in your desire to avoid it, you inadvertently circle around to blatant racism again; you've hit that point.
Both of you are rated +4 insightful right now. Typical /. group think.
That is the exact opposite of groupthink. That's individualthink.
Lots of people, obviously. Probably millions. Why'd you ask this question about a statement that had a clear answer?
I suspect this is a joke. If so, well done.
The rest of the world will also begin to go hungry.

As a doctor I am allowed to do many things that you are not allowed to do
I'm actually against that, too. Shocking, I know.
A 2013 Democrat is a 1990's FAR right wing Republican. We have no true democratic party.
Oft repeated, but not true. In fact, it's getting a bit tired, now. Go look at party platforms from then and now.
Journalistic shield laws are a terrible idea. Journalists should have no right that every American citizen doesn't have.
What we need is just the right to free speech, and the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure. That's all.
So you think that science experiments should receive punishments and gun crimes should receive slaps on the wrist?
You seem to have completely misread what he wrote. He pretty clearly implied that was ridiculous.

It would still follow the shortest line in curved space; just the opposite direction.
