  1. Mugging people with money is a lot easier than trying to study while working two jobs to just cover living expenses.

  2. Selective targeting? Did he release a whole trove of Democrat documents when he was making Bush look bad? Was the release of the NSA tools a partisan action? What agenda was Assange pursuing? To get Trump elected?

    Because it was fine when he was doing it to the Republicans. Once he showed the Democrats to be no better and as a result prevented the coronation of Queen Hillary he became public enemy number one.

  4. Like pointing a gun in your face and demanding your money Scrooge?

  5. Are you talking about limited liability corporations?

  6. Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses? They should hurry up and die and reduce the surplus population.

  7. First man in space isn't too shabby.

    That costs a lot of money and means carrying around a bulky extra item. What happens if your laptop doesn't support TB?

    How do you install a desktop GPU in a laptop or any Apple computer?

    Unfortunately what you'll end up with are dozens of incompatible CPUs and never ending holy wars that get in the way of getting work done.

    No that's what it's supposed to do. What actually happens is it divides people along racial and gender lines. I've seen comments sneering at white homeless men because how could they fail with all that privilege or white men are doing all right because some are billionaires. In the meantime amazingly privileged white males make up the majority of suicides in the US and UK. What's wrong with treating people like individuals instead of as a collection of characteristics?

    Unfortunately it leads to massive generalisations about people's experiences and different cultures as if white men are all part of this gigantic hive mind where a Slovakian factory worker is exactly the same as an Australian billionaire merely because they have the same physical characteristics. I'm a leftist. I voted for Corbyn twice however I don't want to be a part of a movement that hates me because of my appearance.

    I don't live in the US so I don't really give a shit about Comcast. As for North Korea, I'm pretty sure the general population don't get to choose what their local government does. I didn't read the rest of your comment. I'm sure it was very interesting though.

    Beats me but if the governed consent then what's it got to do with you unless you live there?

    Haven't "the governed" given their consent to municipal fibre in this case?

  18. Is this another "tech is a hotbed of evil women abusing misogynists" story?

    Most of the Eastern Europeans I know are in those kind of jobs. I'm wondering what point you're trying to make about them being inferior or something.

    Putin? Are you insane? What the fuck does Putin have to do with my comment? For the avoidance of doubt I am a leftist but the modern left like the original poster make me puke and I want nothing to do with what is effectively a hate movement not much better than those they oppose.

    You may be amazed to learn that people from the former Communist countries can also do things like accountancy and software development. They don't put up with any more shit than the locals in jobs like that from what I've seen.
