Then you're (hopefully) not currently a wage slave. Instead of slaving for a place to live and food to eat, you can slave for money to barely pay for a place to live and food to eat! It's capitalistic! It's slaverrific!
Dr. Townshend: What the hell's this all about? Dr. Kelso: Nothing! I was, uh, just looking over your files and, um... well... your osteoporotic patients aren't on Bisphosphonate; your diabetics aren't on ACE inhibitors. Doug, a lot of your treatments are pretty out of date. Dr. Townshend: Come on, Bob, I'm-guys like us, we're set in our ways. Dr. Kelso: Well, this is not an age thing, Doug. Hell, these days if you've been out of med school five years, half of what you learned is obsolete. Why do you think I spend every other weekend at a seminar in some two-star hotel ballroom that still stinks of last night's prom vomit? I do it because I have to keep up.
The people who do that have conflated proof with faith. We absolutely should not have faith in science, we should demand proof. Science is Faith's eternal enemy!
They're inventing and improving the robots as they clean up the site. "Necessity is the mother of invention" and all that. Without a site to clean up, there's no way to build better robots to clean up nuclear sites.
It's not only people who live there, but if my estranged cousin from Sri Lanka (who are well-known for their ignorance of US law) is visiting and invites the cops in, they can come in and there's no longer any legal grounds to fight the resulting arrest on the basis of illegal search.
Any occupant at all. I wonder if my dog could consent...
And is it really for the greater good that we actually kill them? We sink more money into killing a person than we do keeping them alive, incarcerated.
The only real result of the death penalty seems to be deterrence and revenge catharsis.
Sometimes it's getting tasked to do something that teaches you how to do it. If you appear incompetent to the eyes of the taskmaster, you won't get the chance to even try.
In an old retail job, a boss of mine told me he got where he was by saying "Yes, I know how to do that" to everything that was ever asked of him, and basically learning how to do it on the spot (driving a forklift, for example).
If you can do a passable job while learning, you can do it better next time.
Agreed. I wish I had a nickle for every "idea person" who applied to my indie video game company. Then I could actually afford more coders and get more work done...
That's rather Amero-centric of you. Would you go to an Arabic language website? If so, you probably have a way to type Arabic characters. Would you go to a Japanese language website? If so, you probably have a way to type Japanese characters. These characters have been allowed in certain parts of the URL for a long time, but never the TLD. What, largely, has changed?
This is a step towards more globalization, which is a good thing for everyone except the people who are on top but unable to take full advantage of being on top (the American middle and lower classes).
So we, as a species, should stop looking towards the stars and keep our noses to the ground and dig, dig until we build utopia on planet Earth? Somehow I do not think that is a long-term survival prospect for our species.

I think the Gnutella network (Limewire), Kazaa, or Skype are more appropriate. They're more decentralized than BitTorrent (though BitTorrent has some redundancy).
"The unexamined life is not worth living", so I'm going to thoroughly examine every aspect of my own life! How much time can one really spend on things like this? I've tried keeping calorie counts every day, but now I just weigh myself every morning and approximate calories on every new meal I add to the repertoire. If I spend too much time trying to optimize everything in my life, what time do I have left to live it?
I don't know that it actually functions, like you I am not going to give them a real e-mail address just to test it. The link goes to a web page though, where as the person I was replying to had a bad URL. As mentioned, I'd rather light my torch and raise my pitchfork for a reasoned argument, and not a knee-jerk reaction based on a misspelling from - to _.
The opt-out link I found was https://www.rapleaf.com/opt-out and it seems to work fine. Disclaimer: I hold no opinion on this site and what it does, I am interested only in well-reasoned arguments based on facts.

Did you just describe my job writing computer code?

I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE ... but not for ColdFusion, ew.

You weren't giving them any money, so why does it matter if you do or do not play their game in protest?

Ratman was pretty confident that the cake was, indeed, a lie.

I'll be ready with waves and waves of my own men!

I vote to put a bell on him! Who's with me?!
Lucifer, the Light-Bringer, the Morning Star, also known as The Fallen One, Satan, and the Devil.

No, the only reason I believe that patents and copyrights are "immoral" is because I've never had an idea worth stealing.
This is the best comparison I have ever read between the two philosophies. Invisible mod points to you, sir!
Because it increases the number of support requests dramatically.

They may be listening. They just don't care.
