No, that's not what you're saying at all, fucktard.
And what kind of fucking idiot is so stupid they claim "you can't fix social problems with legislation" when they live in a country that outlawed slavery?
Or don't you think slavery was a social problem, you dim-witted moron?
Yeah, right up until this very moment, money, family connections, social status and pure patrician snobbishness had nothing whatsoever to do who got to sit to sit on the boards of all these corporations. It was a pure merit system all the way, with no reason at all to question whether a board member got his position because he was absolutely the best man for the job.
And, of course, it's not like people who want to keep corporate boards overwhelmingly white and male already question whether any woman appointed to board membership got the job because they earned it rather than slept or "quota-ed" their way into it.
What an incredible stroke of luck that no rich old white man ever got a job on a corporate board because of who he knew, who he blew or whether his family had money and social status.
Yuppers, it was pure ability all the way and nothing else until they started reserving the odd seat for any of the thousands of well-qualified women who never had a shot at such a position.
"Earlier this year, researchers at the University of Tokyo accidentally created the strongest controllable magnetic field in history and blew the doors of their lab in the process."
So they intended to blow the doors? Neat. I want a job like that! I'd prefer to target other doors than my own, though.
In a decent world, there would be untouchable hackers who could aggressively e-attack corporations like CBS, that are kicking fans in the balls every chance they get. Maybe steal something genuinely valuable from them, like a major blockbuster movie the week before its release, and make it so universally available it becomes worthless. Then let them know every time they pull stuff like this, they can expect another financial bitch slap.
I guess you've already noticed that saying anything on Slashdot that doesn't back the conservative agenda is going to get you modded down in a big, big hurry.
I've been forced to conclude that there's a lot of conservatives here with multiple accounts. And a disproportionate share of the AC comments seem to come from hyper-conservative assholes.
I expect I'll join you at minus 1 shortly for simply speaking the truth about what's happening to Slashdot.
"In a series of tweets, Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu said TierraNet blocked the domain without 'ever notifying us of any issue.' He also expressed frustrations at not being able to easily reach out to TierraNet executives."
Coincidentally, Microsoft and Google announced that carefully-selected business executives have been offered the opportunity to attend multi-week, all-expense-paid team-building retreats at luxury resorts in Thailand and the Bahamas.
There's a way to ease this problem, though perhaps not eradicate it completely. The viewing public has proved definitively it wants programming which includes some NSFW content. I don't mean flat-out pornography (that's an argument for another time and place). I mean characters that curse and have sex occasionally without paying some price for their "sins", perhaps some nudity, realistic depictions of adult relationships...all that and more. The broadcast networks have been shut out of that incredibly huge market thanks to the squawking of religious nutbars who believe a character saying "fuck" at 11 pm on a talk show somehow endangers the moral well-being of the nation.
If the networks were allowed to air shows like "Breaking Bad", "Jessica Jones" or "Game of Thrones", I doubt very much whether they'd be getting out-competed by Netflix, HBO and Amazon. After all, a lot of broadcast channels are available for no more than the cost of an antenna (analog or digital). Instead, their licenses depend on adhering to so-called "community standards" that haven't really existed for decades. So you can't get shows like this at all, and even occasional expletives on shows like the Tonight Show are bleeped. So people look elsewhere for entertainment.
And guess who's created that situation. It's the same pack of self-righteous assholes who can't resist sticking their long, pointy noses into my life and telling me what a worthless sinner I am while they simultaneously excuse ugly, evil behaviour by any politician, police force or religious organization that promises to advance their political and cultural objectives.
Does any sane person doubt that when you read the fine print, this bill will prove to be yet another way for corporations to loot taxpayer-funded research for their own profit?
It's called selling us stuff we've already paid for.
Of course. Thank you for your input, and your deep, abiding faith that nothing ever changes, even though it does.
I assume you're fully aware of the irony of your comment about knowing how things work. No doubt you had similar advice for the people who came up with the internet...or maybe your daddy did.

Welcome to Slashdot, Justice Kavanaugh!

Awww. It doesn't know the difference between primaries and elections. Isn't that cute!
There's a bunch of dicks hanging out in the men's room. Back to work, bitch, your break's over.
I think that's the best summary of US trade policy I've ever read.
As far as Trump and his supporters are concerned, this isn't a bug, it's a feature.

It looks like I'll have to get that tattoo on my dick redone.
Thank you. I appreciate that.
Didn't your mother teach you not to talk with your mouth full?
There's a dog prick needing to be sucked...oops, never mind. I see you're already on it!

Python programmers with a weakness for rude graffiti are being asked to use "pee-pee" and "vajay-jay" during all future midnight wall art projects.
There's a cock you should be sucking. Back to work, bitch!
Do you think they'd get the same kind of static from China? It's all about the banking relationship.
Now EVERYBODY can be a pirate!
Thanks for that. Maybe I'll give it a try.
You might be right. I intend to install it on one of my machines and start getting familiar with it...not sure what flavour yet.
