    It is the way it is used. Anything a man does that a "feminist" doesn't like is "toxic masculinity" (like disagreeing). Same with other normal male behaviour like competitiveness. It is exactly the same as how everything a black person does that a klansman doesn't like is "thug culture".

    Toxic masculinity is defined as anything the speaker doesn't like. It is used exactly the same as "thug culture" and has the exact same effect.

    Which, of course, you know for a fact from all the board directing you've done. You probably don't have to be smart to drive a company into the ground but being successful usually correlates with being intelligent.

  4. C) Women in general are less interested in fighting their way to the top. Almost as if on average they are less competitive than men are and it's not at all the false dilemma you put forward.

  5. It was only a couple of years ago that the internet was praised for its ability to allow people to communicate outside of their authoritarian countries. Now people are demanding "America-net" because an election didn't go to plan.

    a bit more gun regulation it's anything but fashionable to hate guns on /.. Nerds love guns. I'm not going to waste time arguing whybut believe you me, /.ers love their guns.

    It's not so much that everyone here loves guns. It is more that people here are not fans of brazenly stupid arguments that ooze ignorance. You just say things that are so painfully incorrect that even Canadians with no interest in owning guns feel the need to correct you.

  7. Hah, far less people are starving on the streets in western capitalist societies than anywhere else in history. Few people worship capitalism as flawless but it is a hell of a lot better than the alternatives with 100% failure rates.

  8. It's pretty simple really. If push came to shove farmers can feed themselves. Factory farming is not needed to feed small communities. It is needed to feed megacities.

  9. I do enjoy not starving to death and dying from polio. Modern technology is also quite nice.

  10. And who do you think will keep that 10%?

  11. If it moves hydrogen atoms around it could conceivably be used as a battery of sorts.

    Except the auto-play trailers for whatever they are pushing at the time. I have to keep my TV on mute until I find what I want to watch. And that can sometimes take a long time with what little content they have left.

    Lol, no I did not. But I guess we found the self absorbed asshole that causes accidents because you are too lazy to "slower traffic keep right".

    It is actually an offense to impede the left lane and people do, in fact, get tickets for it in these parts. It is not "just a lane". I just wish they gave out more tickets so ignorant fools would learn the actual laws instead of the ones they make up in their heads.

    As long as it also incentivizes not holding up traffic, blocking the fast/passing lanes I am all for this. I say that as someone who makes the odd asshole maneuver- usually to get around someone blocking traffic.

    A compact weighting nearly as much as a pickup truck isn't exactly a good argument against electric cars weighing a lot.

  17. Before you criticize others for their lack of understanding of censorship you might want to wrap your own head around it. It does not have to come from the government to be censorship.

    Wouldn't being unsustainable and bad for the environment be also bad for their well being? Why is that paradoxical?

    Don't look at this as taking work from the operating system. This is a playpen for the swaths of people padding their resumes with "contributed to Ubuntu" that do not actually have the technical skills to contribute.

  20. I would say that is a fairly decent way to get a rough upper bound. Old pages won't be thinner than modern pages.

  21. If I gave you my copper pipes I wouldn't be able to sue you for selling them to meth heads. But I am not giving them to you now am I?

  22. But it was available. The broken part is that these companies want to give it away to anyone that asks then later say "no don't use it like that".

    Copyright is a deal struck between the public and the government to promote creative works. With the unending complaints of piracy from major content producers it is clear the public at large does not agree with the current implementation of the deal.

  23. It's almost as though copyright law is broken. Can I be paid for my labour of building a PC, installing Windows and then selling the PC? I don't have the "right" to distribute Windows.

    I never doubted that this verdict was within the confines of the law. The question was should it be? I would say no.

  24. The question is: why not? If Microsoft doesn't want to provide this service and other people value it enough to pay for it why should he not be paid for his labour?

  25. Or, hopefully, they'll start selling the content in a way the consumers actually want.
