How, exactly, is suggesting that someone is a racist, especially suggesting that they are racist and just too stupid to know it, considered treating anyone with respect?
If you call me a racist, expect to get a nice barrage of expletives back in your face, respectfully of course.
Or, people being accused of being racists every time they turn around.
Believe it or not, the vast majority of people are decent people. They'll help you when you are down and they'll cheer you when you succeed.
But I can understand the AC's point. They have been broad brushed as implicit racists simply because of the color of their skin. And while your first response is probably "welcome to the club", realize that you are being just as racist and bigoted as those you accuse.
When people get their panties in a twist about how much "wealth" the Walton family has it just shows they don't understand what wealth is.
Their "wealth" is paper. They could be worth X millions one day and X - a butt load of money the next. It has no impact on how much they can spend at lunch or whether they get the premium cable package or the standard. It's not cash. They'd have to sell or take out loans against their shares if they wanted to go buy a Private Jet or something like that.
So the fact they are worth a few billion in paper doesn't diminish your pay check at all.
Not having been in a commercial airliner's cockpit, I could not comment.
I have been at the yolk of small planes and at 700 feet, you are pretty busy with the flaps, monitoring your speed and sink rate. At that point you are on final, have been cleared by the tower so watching for other traffic isn't necessarily at the top of your list of things to do. I can only imagine that things are much busier with two engines, probably three and an aircraft that has very specific flight profile you need to follow. So searching the sky for traffic is something left to ATC.
An airliner in the pattern is doing well over 100 MPH just to stay in the air. They are way too busy checking lists, communicating with ATC and flying the plane to spot some 48" Quadcopter off their wingtip. No consumer "drone" is going to be able to keep up with any passenger plane.
It may be tin foil hat, but I think someone is making up shit as a pretext to regulate or ban these all together.
How many times have you tried to load a page only to have to wait for all the Ads to load or load a page only to have it start blasting sound while you are reading it?
I especially like the ads that cover the whole page or cause the page to scroll the text randomly up and down while you are trying read the content, which is actually the only reason I'm at the site to begin with.
When would you expect that we would build and launch a spacecraft that is designed to stay in space, be driven by a nuclear reactor with lots of room for storage and living, scads of power, ion drive, and be used for regular excursions. Seems to me we have all the basic technology required.
When any company can come in and lay down lines and provide service without having to pay off the City Council/County Supervisors/State Legislatures, THEN there will be real competition.
Render all cable franchise agreements null and void. Let the providers beat a path to my TV/Internet.
Drudge rarely, if ever provides original content. Is is simply an aggregator that provides links to news he thinks is relevant or interesting...often to"liberal" sites.

I've never liked the Mod system here. It encourages group think by enabling just a few people to mod a comment into invisibility.
First, Mods should be public. If you can't face the scrutiny for modding someone as a troll, then you are nothing more than a troll yourself. Failing that, the default setting for displaying comments should start at -1.
Second, comments like the subject of this particular thread should be flagged, examined by Slashdot staff, and removed if appropriate.

Admit it. You just want to look down and see tits.

What are you talking about? The British had the Hurricanes and they didn't attack us.
Yep. Why make up all this crap about family and vacations and shit??
Everyone knows it's for a porn collection. Hell, I face the same dilemma. How do you automatically detect and delete duplicate images?

Just remember to compile and compact those access files...twice a day.
I'll just make this one little change here...it won't affect anything.
...could just be most singers are mumbling and the damned music is too loud.
Now, excuse me while I look for my fucking hearing aids.
Clearly, you've never worked on a major software release.

And here we have the reason for our $17 trillion debt. "It's just $83k".
"It's Just..." is a ticket to financial ruin whether it's a $25k a year janitor or the fucking U.S.A.
are utilizing it faster than it is being discovered/ created.
I just paid $2.38 this afternoon. Seems we have a bit of a glut.
They are called Reseachers dammit!

Henry Ford definitely knew which end was the front.
"Corinthian Leather"!
Now I have a TWO phrases to despise. "The Cloud" and "Internet of Things"

So get off your ignorant high horse.
And now I see the damned flag.
Fuck it. I'm just going to go back to work.
