Wow, that $89 R5 actually looks surprisingly attractive. If the benchmarks hold up, I might think about replacing the old power-hungry card I've got in my main desktop machine right now - I'd probably save energy and get better performance to boot.
Does anyone actually _use_ MediaGoblin? Their wiki lists a couple of sites, but they all seem a lot more "I installed this to try it out" and much less "this serves a need for me."
I didn't know I was antagonizing, but I'm definitely a leftist.:)
But it mainly turns out that people complaining about the "racism card" are racist. They tend to hold racist beliefs, and say racist things. Extrapolating from their own experience, they think that people frequently level the "racist" attack at innocent white people. Because, you see, they believe that the racist things they say are innocent, and so believe that they are being unfairly criticized.
SirGarlon, in a thread about sexism, made an analogy to racism. Whether or not the analogy is accurate (I believe it is), they were trying to show how an environment can produce unequal results, even if on the face of it the playing field is level (There's no law saying black people can't hold office. That doesn't mean your average black person has anywhere near as good of a chance of being a senator as your average white person, even if they try just as hard. Even after controlling for socio-economic status.)
Rather than discuss the merits of their analogy, DNS-and-BIND complained, because apparently an analogy to race-based discrimination is illegitimate in a thread about gender-based discrimination. The reason that they weren't "surprised" by the "race card" is probably because they're a racist.
I know that radical feminists aren't your friends, but it _is_ possible to be concerned about the problems that cisgender women face without dismissing the ones that transgender women face.
I don't think anybody is trying to indict you specifically for the failings of patriarchy - nor any individual in particular, for that matter. If you say things that are harmful, you should stop, regardless of whether or not you are cis or trans, straight or queer, dude or lady.
Why am I not surprised the racism card was immediately played in response to a legitimate question in an attempt to silence debate? Especially when race wasn't even involved until you brought it up?
Even $1,000 is hardly a burden compared to how much you might have to pay if you can't afford insurance. I have a friend who had to pay $2200 for one asthma attack that landed him in the ER, triggered by the cleaning agents his near-minimum-wage job mandated that he use.
Plus, I pay around $400 annually for basic medical insurance (just me), with a $500 deductible, my employer puts in another $600, and on top of that I still have to pay a percentage of costs. So, if I'm healthy, we're paying $1000 for zero product. It doesn't start to break even until after... I believe it was around $3000 in annual medical costs. And I'm a healthy non-smoking 20-something.
Really, any sort of predictable fixed cost is preferable to the "anti-lottery" our health care system is now.
Yes, I "trusted" Google to maintain the list of RSS feeds I am interested in. And given that it took me less than two minutes to export the data into nice readable JSON and XML, I don't think I made a mistake using their free service for the past few years.
I think I can also "trust" Google Keep to hold onto those little things for when I need them, and let me export the important data when they're shutting the thing down in a few years. If I can't find a grocery list from 2 years ago, I think I'll be able to cope.
Because if I have a 40% chance of getting leukemia, my insurance premiums will be through the roof. So even if I never got leukemia, I would have spent significantly more than Jane down the street.
(Really, this just continues to argue against private insurance and health care. But having expected/mandatory genetic tests will punish some individuals for things they have no control over.)
A high abortion rate is indicative of widespread poverty, which is correlated with violent crime. Abortions don't cause poverty.
For a proper comparison, you should compare identical cities before and after legalizing abortion - which, in fact, is what the book you disparage does.

It requires *perfectly informed* rational self-interested actors. That's the part that's the bugger.
Ah yes, the undeniable usefulness of "all kinds of measurements." Really, what couldn't you use that data for?
Though, you probably didn't need to point out that it would "later plug into [your] usb port" - really, that much is just common sense.
If you click through to the article, there's actually web-based access to the Pi, from which you can do your programming.

oops, mismodded.
Where did you buy such a shiny hat? Or do you have to make it yourself?

People tend to forget that MLK said more than "I have a dream."
Pretty sure you agree with GP.

Probably because you're racist?
It's sort of trendy here to talk about how the once-great Slashdot has fallen, and I've mostly considered those people to be whiny old men.
Today, I realize that they were right.
It's encrypted, hun. Chrome decrypts it and shows it to you using your Windows login credentials.
Uh... wouldn't they just log your KeePass password, then log in and get all of your passwords?
Easy - a creator has more followers than they are following. A reader has the reverse.

Total personal income in the US in 2012:

Average income-per-capita:

Each family of four could get $160,000 a year. I'm pretty sure that would be upper-middle-class by today's standards.
You know that preventative care saves money, right? It's vastly cheaper to treat high cholesterol at your doctor's office than a stroke in the ER.

If my bank shuts down my debit card for two hours without warning because my neighbor keeps leaving his at the bar? Yeah, that's an awful thing.
