    ...and been slow to show up

    If/ he showed up.

    Rather, we've been doing that since the advent of television.

  3. Re: I feel so conflicted... on K-12 CS Framework Draft: Kids Taught To 'Protect Original Ideas' In Early Grades · · Score: 1

    Go to the public schools and you will be around far more conservative christians than the home schoolers.

    My ex and I homeschooled I precisely because the local public schools were staffed by evangelical illiterates; hell, they even keep the Ten Commandments up on the walls...

    like an closed-border socialist

    They call themselves socialist but they're about as socialist as the National Socialists. Peel back the thin veil (that fools a lot more people than it should) and you'll see that they're in fact fascist.

    They knew the Brits would be back, hence the 2nd Amendment: aim for the remaining teeth. ;)

    Surely they meant to say "broked."

    That devalues the concept of an idea and intellectual property on the whole.

    Well, not by much but I suppose it's a start. ;)

  10. You left out the sacks of shit.

  11. Re: Lightning Strikes Twice with Entitled Customer on Elon Musk Cancels Stewart Alsop's Tesla Order Over Complaints About Launch Event · · Score: 1

    Fanboism, my ass; Tesla gets more respect than those bloated, bureaucratic entities you mentioned because Tesla earned that respect.

    This is the most succinct and on-point summary of the situation that anyone's posted yet...

  13. Which is exactly why so many people are in favor of term limits...

  14. Extraordinary rendition is a very serious charge to levy.

    Extremely serious; no doubt they're quivering in their boots...

  15. Re:New York Taxi Workers' Alliance on How Uber Profits Even When Its Drivers Aren't Earning Money (vice.com) · · Score: -1

    Nice try but it's quite solid; Uber's rating system ensures that unacceptable issues (which seem to be the taxi's industry m.o. nearly everywhere except Deutschland and perhaps the UK) are dealth with expediently; hence Uber's extremely high customer satisfaction rate.

    Personally, I have a LOT of sympathy for cab drivers; they're not all inept, unskilled or inconsiderate... but taxi companies?? Let's face it: ridesharing is downright fucking obvious in retrospect; I imagine at least 10,000 people have independently thought of this idea; however, those who had the wherewithal to actually develop and execute the idea get the credit. I have absolutely no sympathy for the lazy, corrupt and (more to the point) unimaginative fucks who run the taxi industry; if their dumb asses weren't dinosaurs in need of removal, they should have thought of this the first time one of them used an iPhone a decade ago....

  16. Re: Seems reasonable on Utility Targets Bitcoin Miners With Power Rate Hike (datacenterfrontier.com) · · Score: 1

    but they need to come up with a more equitable basis for sharing the risks than "power density"

    Especially considering that the square footage of our homes and businesses is none of their fucking business.

    "Freeway" has a specific meaning that's different than "highway" and "expressway." While i wouldnt be surprised if the term originated in California, it's definitely not an "ism."

    Wow, the f-word sure left you rattled; this is not, I'm afraid, a sign of strength or integrity. Perhaps in the future you might consider keeping your not-altogether-impressive discomfiture to yourself and not whining to the rest of us about it?
