As the old saying goes "We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias..."
But that's not true anymore is it? These "women" now exist on the internet, and as long as they keep trying to be "women" on the internet, people will call them out for it. People call "women" skanks because they fill their profiles with pictures of themselves looking like skanks. People harass "women" because they keep pointing out how unfairly they're being treated because they're "women".
There are now "women" in gaming, "women" in business, "women" fighting for "women" and more power to the "women". Why? If these "women" would just stop trying so damn hard, then there would be room for everyone.
But that'd mean having to compete with everyone else on equal terms, wouldn't it? The "women" wouldn't be able to rely on their pretty looks and the empowerment of other "women", and they'd receive no special attention from all the nerds on the internet. We'd all be equals, each anonymous entity carrying its own weight, relying on words to enforce their ideas. But we can't have that. Only "women" can be equal.
Would it really be so bad having to justify your use of the internet to some bureaucratic authority figure? That would get rid of a lot of pointless content and return a lot of people to the real world.
I hate hardware and for all intents and purposes it can go shove itself up its own ass. As a result I very much love the cloud, no matter how much of a buzzword it is. Let someone else worry about the tedious busywork it is to get one piece of hardware to talk to another. Oh what's that? A disk died? I don't give a damn because I don't have to drive 30 minutes each direction just to change it. Ha!
But why use a redundant unit of measurement that is, or is not, literally derived from the meter, depending on in which archaeic country you're in?
"Psah! The mile was first!" -You, in the future.
Yes, but your very own government decided in the 1950s to make an international standard, to which I might add only your government and country adheres, which defines a yard as exactly 0.9144 meters, and one yard gives three feet, and 5600-something feet give a mile (who the hell even bothers to remember such irrelevant details? Make it base-10 already). So your mediocre, confusing and derivative unit of measurement stinks. Go fuck yourself.
That's why you have Linkedin for your professional network, and Facebook for your private network. If your professional network can't handle your private views, then don't mix the two.
Do not discount our exponential techonological growth. The only thing that's going to stop us from finding life out there is ignorance and stupidity, of which there is plenty to go around to be sure, but science will continue forward regardless.
Yes and no. We may not be able to see the aliens right now, but you can't argue that we aren't getting more and more details. 2045 is still quite a while away, technologically speaking, and it's not unreasonable to think we'll have even better telescopes and measuring equipment by then.
That's funny, because I watched this TED talk, where the guy explicitly states his teacher-free environment boosted a rural Indian school class to biochemistry levels well beyond the most prestigious private school in the country.
One would assume at least some of the Slashdot crowd has been to college and knows what a scientific paper is and how research and experiments are conducted, but clearly a college education isn't enough these days.
The guy was paralyzed enough to not be able to do any work on a computer in 2011, and yet he doesn't die until 3 years later. I know that Christianity runs strong in the blood of American politics and that this prevents assisted suicide from ever becoming a thing over there, but God damn it. That has got to fucking suck. Dibs on that not happening to me.

Why the redundancy? Post must be longer than 100 characters?
Really? I wouldn't exactly say USA has a good track record of protecting peoples free speech. Is your phone encrypted when you pass a checkpoint? You go to jail. Is your laptop encrypted when you pass a checkpoint? You go to jail. Have you googled pipe bombs or vacuum cleaners? You go to jail. Have you blown the whistle on your governments criminal activities? You get to be chased halfway across the planet and go to jail if you're caught. If you do anything your government doesn't like you're labelled a terrorist and, you guessed it, you go to jail.
If anything I'd say that the USA is one of the least free countries in the world, ranking alongside places like Niger and Congo. Not to mention it's the only 21st century country where slavery is still permitted. Slavery you say, why Abe did away with that! No he didn't. Just look at your jails. They're full of slaves working for pennies, and if they refuse they go to isolation.
I remember when computers used to fill an entire football field! Now look at this, the powerhouse of the world, the biggest monstrosity on the scale, coming up at what, 8 racks?

Throw? Don't you mean push? Throwing a space station into orbit is nothing, but pushing it...!

I guess crime really doesn't pay after all. Unless you're already rich.

Yeah, that probably should've been personal...

Aren't these chips covered in Intels new thermal insulation paste? Maybe it's just insulating a bit too well?
Why do these mega corporations keep storing credit card information insecurely? Are they required by law to be stupid?

Just give me that damn mind control device already and let's be done with it.

Prosecution will just mention that FISA court, and woopsydaisy it's suddenly all legal, because terrorism.
I see. Well I suppose I'll just go perform rootine maintenance on these servers over here...
Is it certified to be impenetrable by human stupidity?
Ah I must've overlooked that detail in my rage.
