Funny thing is - it DID just end in all the rest of the world. Only in the United States are the descendants of slaves still reviled by a significant portion of the former slave holders.
Only a small percentage of all the slaves transported from Africa to the New World were destined for the US. Brazil got far more slaves than the US did. Brazil has no serious race problem, do they? Maybe you can point to the history of SJW's in Brazil struggling to keep the black man on the plantations? No? Didn't think so.
"He's a true American. We need a guy like that for president"
Actually, that's not far from the truth. What's the other party running with, anyway? Traitorous scum of course. Clinton and Kerry both make a patriotic Trump look good in comparison. FFS, the left pampers and rewards outright terrorists with appointments as "professors". What sort of reaction do you EXPECT?!?!?!
I downloaded the ISO on Friday night. Yesterday, I installed it ot a VM. Just got out of be a few minutes ago, and the VM is open in my right hand display, waiting for me to configure it. The network works right - I pinged Google from it. That's about all I know right now, since I've never installed a BSD before. I need to refer to some installation and setup guides next!
That is irrelevant. The disgusting sack of shite had paid advisors and consultants to take care of this stuff. There are procedures in place. Obviously, Clinton decided that she was going to do things HER WAY - and in the process broke a metric shit-ton of laws.
Her understanding of technology is totally irrelevant to the investigation.
That said - I strongly suspect that she understands a lot more tech than you are giving her credit for. Who set up that server? Who administered the server? How did she access the server? Who decided what to turn over to the state department? Who made the decision that she would have her own private server, under her own control?
The unsophisticated old coots down at the community center certainly don't have their own servers.
But - flipping your light switch DOES NOT cause your light to come on. Flipping the light switch actually makes an electrical contact possible, through which electricity can flow through some wires to the bulb, which may or may not light up when you flip the switch. If the bulb is burnt out, the breaker is tripped, or power lines are down, it WON'T light up, no matter how many times you flip the switch.
So, you can see that your statement is a logical fallacy, no matter that the statement is mostly true. You can flip the switch a thousand times, and get the results you expect. That thousand and first time, the lights don't come on, and disproves the statement that flipping the switch causes the lights to come on.
It is more accurate to say that completing an electrical circuit will cause the bulb to emit light. And, THAT is what flipping the switch does - in most cases.
If I were only slightly closer to the drama, I might have paid $40 for the opportunity to vote "no award". I'm quite tired of the SJW's just walking in and taking things over. What would I have gained? Only the satisfaction of having slapped the SJW's in the face. The opportunity to insult the sorry sons of bitches, and to tell them that I reject their asinine nonsense. Yes, that would have been worth $40.
You CAN get "to good" at the painting. Do you really want your engine to be a plain, dull, flat black (or shiny black) or do you want some realism? I was more into ships and planes, and after awhile, I got hold of the idea of "weathering" my models. Imperfections in the paint job were good - after the painting was finished, I would go back and add rust streaks beneath the anchors and the scuppers. Fade the masts a little bit. Paint on the non-skid decks, but leave a splotch of red-lead showing through.
I'd have to study trains a little bit to come up with good ideas, but I've never seen a train that looked "new". Well - for starters, scratch out some grafitti on some of the boxcars. That's essential - I try to read the grafitti when I'm waiting for a train! How 'bout a Banksy train? That would be pretty cool!
Is it the WIn95 UI, or the WinNT UI? Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
At the time Win 95 and Win 98 came out, I had a house full of rugrats, and empty bank accounts. I looked, but couldn't touch. When I finally got my hands on Win98SE, I was impressed. Then, the kids wanted to play games, and I learned quickly that WinNT was a much better system. Remember, there was no security model on Win9.x - none at all. WinNT, however, always did have one. It was serious competition for the various Unixes for quite awhile.
First post nails it? That's unusual. The right to keep and bear arms - that is it in a nutshell. Numchucks, spears, swords, knives, stun guns, firearms, the flashbang grenades that the cops are so in love with.
The difference between a free man and a slave, is the right to keep and bear arms.
AC posted just above - your kernel and my kernel may not have much in common. Simply compiling with the native CFLAG reduces the size by quite a bit. When I compile, I sometimes watch the screen scroll along, and one of the more common words I see is "stripping". I realize that optimizing the kernel doesn't make my computer 50x faster - but there are times when a native compiled system does seem a little faster.
The features that you deem essential, can be stripped out by those who don't need or want them. That's one of the great things about Linux - you can do what you want with it.
I've not fooled with compression. Maybe that will be my next fun project, to see just how small I can make my running kernel.
NEVER confess to anything! All they've done is to hang themselves. Gubbermint says, "We don't like what you're doing." Your response? Are you really going to tell gubbermint, "Oh, I'm so sorry - please, just lock me away for a few decades!"
The better response is, "Prove your case, assholes!"
Good point. No, excellent point. My video isn't a state-of-the-art card, but it has 2 gig of memory, AND the GPU's are faster than my CPU's. So, yeah, my monster machine would probably be more of a dog without that video card installed. The onboard video is by definition a POS.
Virtual machines are precisely the reason I bought this huge extended ATX board, with 16 slots for memory. I only have 24 gig of memory installed, but there's room for - uhhhh - 128 gig. What I have allows me to run up to four VM's at a time, as well as putting all my/tmp files and caches into ram.
This article is a joke. What is a "regular user" and why would slashdot care, when none of us are "regular users" ?
Many of us have family. Wives, kids, in-laws, or in some cases, Mom upstairs. Most of those family members come to us for support. Having some idea what a "regular user" does with his/her machine enables us to give decent advice.
Some people on slashdot actually offer that kind of advice professionally. They probably need to know who and what those "regular users" are.
That seemed to be true, but I found myself getting close to "running out" more and more often on my desktop. When the wife decided to upgrade, the only advice I gave her was to consider 8G of memory to be a minimum. She does use more than half of that memory - primarily because she never seems to close a browser tab, or an application.
"The J-31 has never publicly landed on an aircraft carrier, "
The Chinese Navy isn't exactly "public". We can't even be certain how many carriers they have, because it's a state secret. We knew of one, and have known about it for some years. We only became sure of the second within the past year, when we caught some photos of it in operation. It's a pretty sure bet they have at least one more under construction, but no one knows.
The F-35 remains a POS for a whole pack of reasons. Primarily, because each of the services put requirements on the damned plane that are entirely contradictory. The Marines demand an attack craft, the Air Force demands a fighter-bomber, the Navy wants a fighter, the army wants a fighter-attack craft. And, everyone wants it to be the fastest thing in history. You can't HAVE all of that on the same damned air frame!
Over 115 flying today? Maybe you can link me to the story where those planes have passed their certifications. Eventually, the services are just going to throw their hands up in disgust, and accept the POS's, because they HAVE TO HAVE THEM.
And, just wait until they start falling out of the sky. POS today, and POS in the future. We can't even afford to fly them!
I take it then, that you have a doctoral degree in education? And, thirty years experience in the field? I don't know where you got the idea that the brightest person in a group is going to be held back. If that were so, the brightest people in the class of 20 or 30 students will also be held back by the class.
Teacher + assistants? I've never experienced such a thing. One teacher, or one professor. Assistants? WTF for?
The F-22 isn't the subject of discussion here, now is it? The subject of discussion is the F-35.
Yes, all of the warplanes that I linked to are "under development". Note that every damned warplane in the world is constantly "under development". The vaunted P-3 Orion has morphed a dozen times or more since I was in the Navy. It's the same airframe, but it's an entirely different suite of instruments and weapons.
"those other countries are going to find out" That is one of the things that worries me. China, for instance, IS FINDING OUT. They now possess at least two deep sea capable aircraft carriers. One of the photos I linked to shows the Chinese landing their Gen-5 aircraft aboard one of those carriers. How good are the Chinese navy? No one knows - they haven't seen their baptism of fire. What if? I mean, we're going downhill, and they are actively building a world class navy. Maybe they ARE better than us? Probably not, but only arrogance would prompt me to claim that they cannot be as good as ours.
So - in about 30 or 40 years, the Chinese have moved from something akin to the bronze age, into the digital age. And, they are prepared to challenge us within the next 10 to 20 years. (Assassin's Mace - a manifesto that went unpublished and unnoticed by the western world more than 15 years ago.)
Smoothly? I would have to say that China's R&D is going much more smoothly than our own, all things considered.
Sophomore year of high school. Three man teams assigned to come up with projects for the science fair. Freddy, Joey and I demonstrated how temperature affects viscosity of several fluids, including Prell shampoo and some cheap brand of motor oil.
In all three years of high school biology, we were broken up into teams to turn frogs into tiny labeled pieces.
Foreign language classes, similar treatment for projects. Art classes, ditto. Literature class, a couple of times.
You, on the other hand, probably didn't graduate high school, did you?
Learning isn't supposed to be "social", especially with technical subjects. Why would you need to "interact" with other students?
Apparently, you never got picked to be on a team of any sort, much less a baseball/basketball/football team.
All through school, I remember being pushed into groups, for the reason that often times cooperative group learning is more effective than banging your own single head on the book on your desk.

The alternative "thought" from the other side of the aisle, is to throw the borders wide open, and invite everyone in the world to the US.
