  1. See my answer here: https://slashdot.org/comments....

  2. I disagree.
    Miss America needs not only be good looking. Let's be honest, bimbo chicks with perfect body and blank stares are a dime a dozen. Go to a club and it bursts with them. Miss $COUNTRY needs to represent that country in more ways than tits and ass. She should be witty, smart, composed, not easily thrown off by some weird question, etc. It's honestly, a step in the right direction of de-objectifying women.
    Miss America (or any other country for that matter) needs to be the epitome of all positive qualities a woman could have.

  3. Not necessarily.
    The mere fact X complains about Y is not sufficient for Y to be screwed up.
    The fact alone that CEOs earn more and more isn't necessarily a bad thing through itself. For example, if my salary would double and my CEO's earnings would quadruple, I wouldn't care, but if my salary is raised by 1% and my CEO's salary doubles, then I have a problem with it.

    Is it working, or are they complaining?

    People complaining about shit doesn't mean that shit ain't workin'.
    Hell, there are CEOs complaining they don't make enough.

    Me neither, but I don't think those "many people" would appear live on TV on a high level competition.
    If you get there and you're not prepared, you deserve the flak.

  11. See... it's sad, really, when you (meaning I) realize your joke is no longer a joke in current reality.

    Can we just respect both sides of this argument, as long as their opinions or convictions are their own, not blindly copying someone else?
    I both show what I think (through T-Shirts) and keep some opinions to myself (because it makes no sense to openly express them towards people who aren't ready, willing or capable of understanding someone else can cave a different opinion).

    Going into a church with a visible anti-religion message makes you an asshole.
    Not reacting when your convictions are squashed makes you a coward.

    So... it really depends. Nobody's 100% right and nobody's 100% wrong either.

    Fuck third party iFrames.

  17. I have no idea, I'm not American and I am not used to guns. As a matter of fact I only touched a gun twice in my life, as a child, one was a hunting rifle my neighbor legally owned (it was unloaded) and one was an AK-47 carried by a soldier at a parade (it was unloaded as well).
    I dislike guns but that's another story.

    To me, given the above, it would be very simple: no guns allowed in hotels, period. Clearly that doesn't work in the States, but that's another story too :)

  18. When that shooter was allowed to carry all that hardware, unchecked, and massacred all those innocent people, that was a hotel fuck-up. Now the same hotels fuck-up in the other direction. Wow, just wow.

    As a matter of fact, the webapps always load their mobile version if they detect one. You have to specifically request the Desktop Site” variant if you need it for some reason.

    No, not really. A smartphone's only good for its portability. Compared to any modern desktop its power is diminutive.

    For you or me, yes. For most people, a smartphone's computing power is enough. Most people only consume media and socialize online, and most of the rest perform light work from a computing power perspective (webapps). I don't include gamers here.

    I believe smartphones + docks could successfully replace the laptops most people are using in their homes.
