Who cast the first stone? Did people stop reading newspapers because they were becoming shit filled with advertisements and no content, or did the newspapers become shit filled with advertisements and no content because people stopped reading them?
The trend I've observed was that people used to buy newspapers, but then free newspapers, and later online newspapers, filled with ads and ADHD-quality content started becoming a thing, and they rather quickly eliminated their competition, or at the very least forced the competition to fight on their level, which in the end hasn't turned out well for anyone.
A system like this doesn't work if people HAVE to work to receive their benefits, because as Holland so clearly points out, if you HAVE to contribute then you HAVE to have people who oversee it, and so on. Instead they should just encourage people to contribute. You have 8 hours of free time every day and you get a stack of money. Why not do something with that time? Teach a course in something, go clean the park, help the elderly, whatever.
You have no clue what is politically important. You get to vote on the end result of years of discussion and mediation. If it were up to you to decide what to vote on, you would make a law that McDonalds shouldn't be allowed to sell french fries without ketchup, or something equivalent. It's not that you're particularly stupid, but your world view doesn't cover the entire nation or the entire world. It just covers what you eat at McDonalds.
As much as you might dislike it, this is why career politicians exist. They dedicate their lives to understanding and producing politics on a level you will never comprehend.
How can the UK be a key market when they drive on the wrong side? Spot the irony when self-driving cars start ramming into ongoing traffic because "Oops we forgot to driveOnRightSide = true;"
In other news, an Australian band has been caught red handed paying news outlets for advertising under the guise of a stupid as fuck news article with no content what so ever. Go kill yourself slashdot. Seriously.
People want entertainment and skill. Taking the most amount of steroids or doping is a feat of strength as much as is hitting a homerun or cycling over a mountain. But if your baseball bat hits the ball for you or your bicycle doesn't require pedaling, then there's no entertainment. Or in this case, if you can just carve a path in the ice with your broom and make the stone go where you want it to, then what's the point having a skilled thrower? If all you have to do is jump in the water and your magic swimsuit automatically pushes the water in front of you to the back, then what's the point? If your golf club autocorrects any lack of training and strength and whacks holes in one every time, then whats the point?
Scrum has no long tasks. The very first and most fundamental step in Scum, or any agile process really, is to break down long tasks into smaller tasks.
In other news, a politician has an opinion and is chastised for it. Let's not let these people think too hard lest they hurt themselves in the process. Just sit down and take your spoonfed soundbites like a good doggy. Here comes the plane! Prrrrrwooooooooeeeeeee!
If you're going to quote Gandhi at least fucking do it right.
Unfortunately for His Excellency the movement is likely to grow with ridicule as it is certain to flourish on repression. No vital movement can be killed except by the impatience, ignorance or laziness of its authors. A movement cannot be 'insane' that is conducted by men of action as I claim the members of the Non-co-operation Committee are. Ridicule is like repression. Both give place to respect when they fail to produce the intended effect. It will be admitted that non-co-operation has passed the stage [of] ridicule. Whether it will now be met by repression or respect remains to be seen. But the testing time has now arrived. In a civilized country when ridicule fails to kill a movement it begins to command respect.
It's like someone has posted a theory on the internet which is wrong, but not knowing where the thrust comes from means they can't explain to this person why he's wrong. And it irks them to no end.
Of all the languages in use today, Icelandic is probably what comes closest to old norse, seeing as it was the vikings that settled Iceland and they've lived a very isolated life there since. In england they mingled with the english, in germany they mingled with the germans, and in scandinavia they mingled with eachother, so the language evolved in many different directions. That being said there's still a word here or there that is understandable.
Beat her with a stick until she realizes its for the greater good. All must bow to the great diversity or be publicly shamed and beaten. We can have it no other way.

But it's unfair that Google gets to take advantage of all the investments they make. Unfair, unfair, unfair.

If the movie officially launches tomorrow, how did I see it at the official launch date yesterday? Am I a time traveller?

I think the correct grammar is "lulz failtrain".
"Nothing" is a very big word that should be used with care and only by people who know what they're talking about.

Or worse, it'll autocorrect from kg to lbs because 'Merica!

Makes sense. It doesn't take nearly as much fuel getting off a mun as it does a planet.

Why build one... when you can build two for twice the price!?
Nevermind, I'm statistically challenged...
90% can be above the median no problem, but only 50% can be above the average. Isn't that how it works?

In other words you don't need a CS degree to be a programmer.
Chrome won't run Java anymore. Soon IE won't either.
What exactly are they trying to accomplish here?
