  1. Re:Automation and unemployment on A US Apple Factory May Be Robot City · · Score: 5, Insightful

    We need to get rid of all of those damn socialist policies!!

    Hwys and roads.
    Public schools
    FDA
    EPA
    National Parks
    Medicare
    Fire Departments
    Police Departments
    Anything with the word community in it (Like gardens)
    Public libraries
    Public colleges/universities

    Stupid asshole. Some things are better when they are socialist, because we all reap benefits from them. Everyone in this country has reaped benefits from this list in one way or another. That does not mean we need to scrap capitalism. It does mean that we shouldn't dismiss "socialist" ideas out of hand.

    Or you could have the manufactures submit them for industry standard tests. Kinda like how cars are tested. The car manufacturer hires a third party to do the testing.

    Is that really a challenge to give you more examples? I can and will, although I suspect that you will refuse to look at my evidence and read my sources. There is no point in going through that much work if you plan on ignoring it. Are you truly interested, or just trollin?

  7. Re:Doesn't matter on Microsoft Makes Direct X 11.1 a Windows 8 Exclusive · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I just bought a new computer. I chose the Win 7 option over Win 8.

    Frankly I am not interested in it. I have used it, I have a computer still running the RC. Just not interested in it. It is Win 7 with a tablet GUI slapped on the front.
    The fact is the new GUI does nothing to increase efficiency. Frankly it seems to me that it is a marketing ploy to force people to become familiar with the interface. This is in the hopes that once people get comfortable with it that they will choose the Windows tablets.

    I do not like it when people try to trick/force me into something. No thanks.

    While this is a problem on the road to getting third parties recognized, it still would not be an issue if people voted for whoever best represents them.

    Iraq has a lot of oil, and they all live in mud brick houses.

    If everyone voted for the candidate that best represented them, then we would not have this two party problem.

    The problem does not exist with the people voting for a third party candidate, it belongs to the people who will not consider a third party candidate.

    Nope, USSR was Communist. The US is turning into a fascist country.

    The major difference being that communist countries everything is controlled by the workers (in theory). In fascist countries the government is controlled by the corporations. This is obviously a case of the latter. PLEASE USE THE CORRECT TERMINOLOGY!!!!

    Doesn't regular soldiers do that sometimes too? I mean take out a private life insurance to supplement their military one.

    Yes, it sometimes happens. If I am not mistaken it tends to be pricy, and even stuff marketed to soldiers may include a war clause anyways.
    The SGLI (Servicemembers Group Life Insurance) that is offered to soldiers is up to 400k and costs something like 30 bucks a month.

    I work with Dell moire often then I'd like.
    When I call server support 90% of the time I get an easy to understand, helpful, knowledgeable tech. I have to say they do a pretty good job there. But when I have to call to get workstation hardware replaced I get the damn workstation support. They usually speak poor English, they are often downright illiterate when it comers to computers. At least with the chat I can get other things done besides focusing my attention on deciphering what the hell they are saying in that broken English they use.
