World's gonna end whether I pay or not, right? Then fuck it, I'm going to do the smart thing and give my money to that Asian guy who comes on my TV at about 2 AM every morning, and tells me that if I give him my money, he'll teach me to get as rich as he is.
new homes are built from Cross Laminated Timber, which is itself made from the leftover parts of wood and trees no one cuts trees down anymore just to build a house
But then, where do the "leftover parts of wood and trees" come from, if not construction material production?
But Keyboardio, the product that is being Slashvertised, is not, save (maybe) those two little panels on the corner. Although were I a betting man, my money would be on veneer rather than actual wood panels.
I just wonder if they come with a cord.
TFA doesn't mention one (just Bluetooth), but in one of the pictures you can clearly see part of a cord poking out from between the two sections...
You don't think you do, today, but that doesn't mean you don't, nor does it mean you won't at some point in the future.
The fact that governance is dynamic and contingent solely on the whims of a handful of powerful people are precisely why everyone, yourself included, should actually care about the government snooping on private information.
Oh, that and fetish sex. Because there's nothing wrong with fetish sex, but I'd bet most people who are into that sort of thing want to keep it hidden regardless.
We all know, at this point, that these tech hardware companies are total butt-fuck buddies with clandestine government organizations.
We all know, at this point, that as a result of the aforementioned butt-fuck buddies relationship, all hardware can be considered compromised before you even open the damn box.
I don't know about you all, but I'm far more concerned that an organization with the power to take away my life and/or freedom can access my data without my permission or knowledge than infamous Russian credit card scammer "Peggy."
The "worth" of a polygraph lies in the subject's belief in its ability to judge his truthfulness. Basically it's a psychological tool. It's ability to discover lies relies on the subject's belief in the operator's "professional" ability and his faith in machines making no mistakes.
The irony being, of course, that the type of absolute sociopath you would want to find/prevent from hiring with such a technique is exactly the person it won't work on.
Which, actually, explains a lot about law enforcement types....
if you think the holocaust was progressivism, then you still havent learned the meaning of the word.
No, I haven't learned your meaning. I can Google "define progressive" just the same as anyone else, and guess what? The actions of Germany's National Socialist Party very much do fit at least one of the definitions.
all you've succeeded in doing is godwining yourself by used the tired cliche of liberals = nazis.
Hey, speaking of people who don't know the definition of things - that's not a Godwin.
Godwin's law applies especially to inappropriate, inordinate, or hyperbolic comparisons of other situations (or one's opponent) with Nazis – often referred to as "playing the Hitler card".
Pointing out that Nazi-ism was a type of progressive mentality doesn't qualify, because it's accurate. You not liking the accuracy of the comparison notwithstanding.
If we're talking about the southern boarder, just cross with everyone else. Illegally.
No shit.
Besides, if they want to fuck with you, they won't do it at the border, they'll wait until you're deep inside the Constitution-Free Zone. Because that's how the New America works.
2) Does anyone have a write-up of how it works? I've got a lost-to-pawn iPad that need wiped, and will likely have more come into the shop in the future.
Also, keep in mind that this is the same 'ignorant fucking douchebag' who doesn't understand why we have a 5th Amendment
Seriously, if you don't realize what a pretentious, self-absorbed prick Haselton is, go read his reasoning in the link I just posted.
Or, just wait a couple hours then come back here and read the smart-ass, poorly reasoned responses he will inevitably make in response to all the posts calling him out on his douchebaggery. That's always fun.
Nobody's modding them up, I think ol' Bennett and Timmy have some sort of quid pro quo agreement going on.
Probably has something to do with blowjobs. How else would these masturbatory B.S. BH blog posts, which obviously annoy the living shit out of the majority of the people commenting here, keep making their way to the feed?
Somebody should kick Bennett the $10 needed to register a domain so he can blog like a normal douche-nozzle and stop treating Slashdot like his own personal soapbox. I'll bet masterdouche.net is probably still available.
On island after island, the same kinds of lizards have evolved.
Sure, in close islands with identical ecosystems. But if this hypothesis scales universally.... why don't we have kangaroos or elephants in the Americas?
Progressives convince themselves that "progress means moving in a good direction," because that justifies whatever behavior they're trying to justify. But the fact is, the term "progress" only means "to move in a direction," and never specifies whether that direction is good or bad.
The Nazi's rounding up and exterminating "undesireables?" Yea, that was progressivism.
IMO, the only positive progress in political arenas is the type that expands individual rights. Which is why people who label themselves as "Progressives" tend to piss me off, since many of their ideas of "progress" involve taking rights away from people they don't agree with. Hey, just like the Nazis!

To keep it from looking like an Apple product, there's something really cool you can do with aluminum called anodizing.
Also, hydrographics

From TFA:
Heirloom-grade craftsmanship
From the best mechanical keyswitches to aircraft-grade aluminum construction, this is a keyboard that will last.
If that's "wooden," I must ask: What kind of tree do you get aircraft-grade aluminum and/or mechanical keyswitches from?
Soon enough (if not already), they will have "reasonable suspicion" to add all Slashdot users to the list.
Hmm, let's see:
- technologically savvy? Check.
- Interested in/knowledgeable about cryptography/biology/chemistry? Check.
- Generally Libertarian (pro-individual-freedom) mentality? Big ol' check.
- NOT large donors to political campaigns? Good chance of another check here.
Sounds like yes, we as a group do indeed meet the Fascist, er Federal Government's definitions of "terrorist."
Any attributes I failed to list, that makes our community a target for clandestine government agencies?
I don't have that kind of secret to hide.
You don't think you do, today, but that doesn't mean you don't, nor does it mean you won't at some point in the future.

That be my 2 pennies.
Oh, so, functioning as designed.

in short: you're ignorant.
But less so than you, so I'd call that a win.
Per TFA - you can totally point it to goatse rather than Rick Astley.
Although for some people, there's little actionable difference between the two.

The fact that he's been doing it since 2000 with nary a change. Dice has only owned the site for a couple years.
Elsewhere I did comment about a possible quid pro quo with Timmy involving blowjobs...
1) Can this method be used to bypass iCloud?
2) Does anyone have a write-up of how it works? I've got a lost-to-pawn iPad that need wiped, and will likely have more come into the shop in the future.

Because, apparently dude has been using Slashdot as his personal blog for the past 14 years.
I'm surprised Dice isn't charging him for the hosting space.

Well, obviously the term was too personal.
Here's my problem with "progressive-ism" -
