The reasons for producing filler are declining. The profit motive has never been a driver of good journalism. Consider Democracy Now!, they do better journalism than any of the network news sources, and they give it away free.
Really... it's offensive? Funny, I have to put up with all the crap about losing weight and stop smoking and drinking and taking drugs. All of those comments and ads treat me as a second class citizen
No shit. At least homosexuals don't risk jail time anymore if their private activities are made public. It's hard for me to feel much outrage when much worse lies about drug users are not just common, but the basis for public policy.
What really drives me nuts about this is that there is no consistent way to apply parental ratings to content in a way that it is recognized by OSX and Windows. This keeps me from sharing my videos across the home network since there is no way I can easily block certain videos from my son's Xbox and his iMac.
Your son isn't going to die if he sees some gore or some tits. If he's too young to see something, he won't be interested in it at all. If he's interested, it's your job to provide context, not censorship. Parental controls are for lazy parents. Parenting is your job not the computer's.
Probably only 10%. But how am I to know which 10% I'm going to want in the future?
You'll spend the rest of your life transferring it from medium to medium.
Sure, It'll take an hour or so to rsync onto a new array every 5 years or so. I'm going to migrate data anyway, so the question is whether I want to migrate 100GB of data or 4TB. Since rsync can run in the background, there's essentially no cost to migrating a large array.
Is it worth it?
Definitely! Having everything I want locally saves me time searching the internet for it. When I decide I want to use something, I don't have to wait for it to download. The effort it takes to maintain is minimal, so why not?
Really? How do you use that? If I have my MP3s on an EXT4 filesystem, and want to use file system metadata instead of ID3 tagging, what tools would I use? Is there a metadata aware version of 'ls'?
It should take much less time to tag a media file than it takes to actually play it. If you're actually viewing the media in your archive, then tagging the files won't add much extra time at all. If you're not actually viewing the media in your archive, you don't really need it tagged. Problem solved.
The real solution to this problem is a database filesystem. I know these have been tried with varying degrees of success in the past. Why aren't they more common today?
guy is trying to establish himself as some kind of authority on futurism, but I just perceive him as an attention whore who actually contributes very little.
I just can't see how you can translate that to the screen in under 10 hours and still have a coherent, interesting story that is true to the original. I fear the movie is going to suck something fierce.
How long until someone crawls the NYT site and links all the stories from their Facebook account? What recourse would the NYT have, since they obviously have the capability to block this but have chosen not to?

If you've got one, hell yeah!
So obvious, I predicted it as soon as I read the first story.

Wow. Fantastic troll.. You really cranked it to 11 on this one.
If you think homosexuality is anything like lying, you're a bigot.
Stereotypes exist for a reason. If you want that stereotype to disappear, talk to some of your more flamboyant compatriots.

On the one hand, it's offensive and Apple has a previous precedent of banning things it deems controversial.
The process of banning what you deem offensive and controversial is itself offensive and controversial. It should be banned.
Everyone.
Because, Fuck you. That's why.
The deficit is the symptom of an economy which hasn't recovered for the middle and lower class
It has recovered exactly like it was supposed to.
The key then to bringing world population growth under control is eliminating poverty
You'll have better luck stopping people from having sex than you will stopping the rich from exploiting the poor.
I've been up there. When it's windy it really does rock over Chicago.
2AA batteries will power the Neo Geo Pocket Color for 40 hours.
That doesn't sound too different than humans. Except that some of us never reach maturity.

How much of it do you really re-watch?
Probably only 10%. But how am I to know which 10% I'm going to want in the future?

The tedious part is data entry.

Isn't that pretty much the same thing?
Let's say bribes are legal. How would that work exactly?
Pretty much how the US works today. If bribes were legalized in the US tomorrow, very little would change.
One year old is bad enough, but thirteen of them?!

Isn't that what they said about LotR?
