To add to your points, the big problem with taxonomy is that it treats two closely related species as if there is a definitely dividing line between them so that every animal can be categorized.
In reality, categorizing closely related species should probably be treated more like making a Venn diagram. Sometimes two species will have a definite dividing line between them, sometimes there's some overlap (especially when you get into tracing the evolution of species).
In times of acute congestion, Google Fiber Internet service bandwidth will be fairly allocated among subscribers without regard to the subscribersâ(TM) online activities or the protocols or applications that the subscribers are using.
Google Fiberâ(TM)s Internet services are priced on a flat-fee basis (plus taxes and government fees). Google Fiber does not charge subscribers a usage-based fee for Internet access service and does not employ volume-based data caps.
Most other large ISPs in the US, however, do have bandwidth and data caps.
And yet you'll see the actual post was put up by someone (samzenpus) who is a paid employee. God forbid the editors actually edit anything, though, right?
If there's a condition in the OHA contract that all devices that ship with Google Play Store and Google Play Services must also murder nuns, Google would be doing something illegal too.
But they aren't doing that.
Making up something that might possibly be in a contract doesn't make it so and doesn't add anything useful to the conversation. Save that shit for your favorite conspiracy theory site.
Giving the FAA jurisdiction over frisbees, bows and arrows or toys with propellers is an absurd use of Federal government regulations and a complete waste of resources for them to be trolling You Tube for videos for accidents with toys that didn't actually cause any serious harm.
Except the FAA isn't doing any of those things. The guy who was nearly hit by the drone recovered the video and gave it to the NYPD. The NYPD found the pilot of the drone, arrested him and charged him with reckless endangerment. The FAA only got involved after all that showed up in the news and they're proposing a further fine for the violations that he committed.
The FFA is not trolling YouTube. The only trolling here is your post.
Why don't other companies sell similarly-priced goods the same way?
Rent-a-Center, Aaron's, Buddyrents, ColorTyme, Best Way, Rent-2-Own... there are dozens (if not hundreds) of companies that offer rent-to-own deals on virtually everything. They all have the same business model; relatively low payments that add up to ridiculously high prices for things.
The reason it works is simple; people love immediate gratification and will take very bad deals to get stuff now rather than being patient and saving up for it.
The whole point of HFT is to jump in and buy a stock when someone else is trying to buy it and resell it to them at a slightly higher price. Without HFT, that someone else would still buy the stock.
HFT has never intentionally provided liquidity to the market. Buying something that has no other buyers is exactly the opposite of what they're trying to do.
I sign up for emailing lists that I have no interest in, then after awhile remove myself from said lists. Those are just some of the things done.
Congratulations! You have the most boring life I've ever heard of. The sad part is that you seem to be proud of it.

Toughpad FZ-A1 for my android tablet and a toughbook 31 I carry for work more money in tablet and laptop than most of you have every owned in your car.
A quick search on prices shows that you can get both for about $5k.
Apparently you either think that everyone on/. is working part-time for minimum wage or you think cars are still priced like they were in the 70s. Either way, you sound like a condescending fucktard.
Spoken like someone who has never played any other sport in their life.
Seriously. Golf is not harder than baseball, basketball, soccer, football or any other sport. They all require concentration, practice and far more coordination than golf.
Bock also advised, 'You need to be very adaptable, so that you have a baseline skill set that allows you to be a call center operator today and tomorrow be able to interpret MRI scans.'
So, basically, you should be ridiculously highly skilled in multiple specialized fields so that we can hire you and make you take on the work of three to five people for the pay of a single position (or maybe just for the glory of being an intern so that we can pay you even less!).
Do you and I have the right to piss off management and our bosses? What makes them so special?
You don't seem to understand what tenure is. Tenure doesn't protect teachers from being fired if they act irresponsibly or do not do their job. Tenure only protects the teacher from being fired without just cause.
The case here is really the question of whether allowing a student to build a marshmallow gun powered by compressed air represents just cause. The administration says it is, but they have an axe to grind with the teacher in question because he's also a union representative, etc. (as detailed in other comments)
The suggest that the solution is to just give the administrators the right to fire all teachers without any justification for the firing is idiotic.
So you think that schools would be better if it was easy to fire teachers who had opinions that differed from the administrations, leaving only the mindlessly obedient ones to teach the nations children how to also be mindlessly obedient?
Nope. You're just presenting a more subtle version of numerological bullshit.
Having only one significant digit means that the actually value for 10 is somewhere between 6 and 14 and the value for 30 is somewhere between 26 and 34. Measurements were not that inaccurate (you don't really think they only have a 15 foot rope to measure with and absolutely nothing else, do you?).
10 and 30 have 2 significant digits even if you assume that they rounded to whole numbers and didn't want to use fractions or decimals. Rounding to whole numbers, a circle with a measure of 10 cubits across will measure 31 cubits around.

I want one of these hydrogen fuel cell people to show me where you can sink a well and get hydrogen.
What do think the "hydro-" prefix in hydrocarbon means?
Really? Because data theft is actually quite a big problem and is legally recognized as a form of theft.
The legal definition of theft covers making unauthorized copies of intangibles such as data, intellectual property and trade secrets.

Google doesn't throttle or have bandwidth caps on their fiber.
From their network management page:
In times of acute congestion, Google Fiber Internet service bandwidth will be fairly allocated among subscribers without regard to the subscribersâ(TM) online activities or the protocols or applications that the subscribers are using.
Google Fiberâ(TM)s Internet services are priced on a flat-fee basis (plus taxes and government fees). Google Fiber does not charge subscribers a usage-based fee for Internet access service and does not employ volume-based data caps.

That might work if 14 year old girls were making the rules, but they aren't.

Nonsense. Every time there's a change in the tech sphere, Slashdot is one of the last sites to notice, much less voice skepticism and discomfort.
Not all of them

Don't forget the 75GB of text documents. Even if they're uncompressed, that's around 30 million pages of text.
It's the most impressive collection of slash fiction about Kirk and Spock getting it on in the known universe.

The rest of the movie may not have been very good, but it did give us the basketball scene where Sigourney Weaver actually made that shot.

Capitalist oligarchy.
