If women bring nothing unique to the table, then diversity becomes solely a placating effort.
It's a big jump going from the GP's "women make just as good engineers" to "they bring nothing to the table". In raw thinking terms that may be right. That said I have yet to see a field of Engineering or even an individual project where raw thinking was done in isolation, and women and men definitely work differently on an interpersonal level.
Is this a joke? Or just another sign that we're really on the road to Idoicracy?
I think it's actually a sign of your ignorance into how complicated some truly advanced use of Office applications can be, and just how important they are in keeping the world ticking over.
On the other hand, they don't seem to be really doing anything productive anyway
In order to do anything you need the space to do it. There's hardly a gap in the schedule between trying to start WW3, trying to tear America apart, and tweeting while sitting on the shitter.
I find that entire argument pretty ridiculous. So, history is getting rewritten because statues are being removed? Do you teach from them?
Given most people's grasp of history I'm inclined to think this is now the common source for all their knowledge. See a statue of the guy, read the plaque at the base.
There's a reason Germany doesn't have Hitler statues
Yep. When they lost the war the winning side (reads: Americans) forced them to introduce policies to wipe any possible resurgence of the Nazi regime and any mention of it. They not only took down statues but also possession of any Nazi materials illegal including books that gave an insight into the mind of Hitler, and introduce laws that made reference to Nazis illegal too.
Thanks America you wonderful champions of free speech.
Trump condemned every side that commits violence. It's hysteria to take umbrage at his failing to specifically call out one particular side of things.
Yeah like the side that started it, the side that breached the conditions of the rally, and the side that killed someone with intent and seriously injured many more. They totally fit in with the rest of the group.
There's no good reason to delay patching endpoints for more than a week at most
I see you've never worked in a multi-national company that had to support many business critical computer applications across many different configurations across the globe.
Most problematic patches for mainstream operating systems are pulled within 24-48 hours
All problematic patches are never tested against the majority of business critical software. This is why things get tested and why it takes time. It's also why we maintain a list of black listed patches, until either MS or the vendor affected resolves them.
Now we as a community will never know who, what or even when they may cause mayhem again.
Tor is not an impenetrable fortress. We can still actively monitor them.
It does not eliminate their message.
You are right, but we as a race are quite slack. The people dedicated to the cause will join the group wherever they go, however there is none the less a large majority of people who will not put the effort in and thus will be separated from the message. There's a reason politicians advertise in prime-time TV slots. It reaches more people than a website, which reaches far more people still than making someone download Tor and go find a website.
Hate groups will always exist, the goal here is to keep them in a manageable size.
Really, isn't the best way to fight such complete stupidity to keep it in the open? Isn't censoring such people just making them feel more targeted, and therefore strengthening their solidarity? All this has done is give a bunch of disenfranchised idiots more reason to hate..
No it's not. Leaving them happily in the open gives them legitimacy and a way to spread their message. They are already disenfranchised, and they already hate. But cutting them off they won't hate any more. What it will do is separate the actual haters and neo-nazi from the part time weekend warriors who have nothing better to do than join the angry rant of the day.
These groups will always exist. But it's quite important that they stay in the minority and in the underground rather than allowing them to mass-market their presence.
Now we can't mock the posts, debate the facts, or keep tabs on the threat. Nothing will get better; rather, these vile sentiments will fester, and we'll have a tougher time anticipating the next Charlotsville, since it won't be so widely publicized.
Good job, fuckwads.
Are you one of those people who thinks the Dark web is some deep impenetrable force rather than just the popular media name for something you need to download a program to read? Get a grip.
Horseshit, it means nothing of the sort. My website has been online for 20 years and never once relied on a "web host". It requires a connection, and nothing more. Everything else is simply complaining that a 3rd party company is not facilitating getting a message out en mass which has zero to do with freedom of speech.
Yep because Unite the Right group getting a permit pulled when it was a peaceful protest is totally the same thing as a fundraise for a nazi douchebag that killed and maimed innocent people.
And on the third hand, you might alienate the few remaining Americans who believe that everyone accused of a crime is entitled to a fair trial.
And how is someone not being able to raise money stopping that? Is America a society that deeply in decay that the fairness (in your favour of course) is directly proportional your bank balance?
What was in the Miranda warning again?: "If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you"
Maybe you should fix your legal system if somehow this is going to result in the person not getting a fair trail.
I'm just pointing out that we just might letting the camel's nose into the tent by just accepting the idea that the accused don't deserve to ask for help with their legal costs.
Except by denying him funding through a private third party that doesn't want to associate with his actions we're not removing any of his basic rights which include the right to a fair trail and the right to legal aid in the process.
The question you're really asking is why should we not refuse to allow him to elevate his position. In doing so you're either advocating that the legal system is broken and only those with money will get a good outcome, or you're advocating support in the form of increased chances that someone guilty gets off on a technicality discovered by some crack legal team.
In any case regardless if whether he is guilty or innocent I think it should be people and corporation's rights to not want to have any part of it (except of course for the mandated legal aid who needs to excuse themselves if they are unable to represent their client objectively)
We all need to be guarding the other's rights no matter how repugnant the other's opinions (or actions) are to us.
He has rights to a trial and a lawyer. That doesn't mean a private company needs to provide a platform to fund him something better.
If we don't slow down and realize this, we are going to have no real justice, no real democracy.
The old slippery slope argument. Except in this case it's not very slippery at all, and the slope isn't even very steep. You're not going to find a lot of support from non-nazis for someone who decided to drive his car into a protest and kill someone on purpose. If he gets off, it will be because of a technicality, not because he doesn't deserve to rot in hell.
The guy's rights aren't being violated here. He will get a trial. He will get a lawyer regardless of what his financial situation is. My question back to you is: Why should we elevate this guy above his mandated rights, and why is it suddenly a slippery slope not to?
what about places like Hollywood Blvd that have 1 food item minimum??
This was the single most annoying thing about my visit to America. We were never able to pay the advertised price.
Here's the advertised price. Oh you we have a 2 drink minimum in here. Don't forget the state taxes and city taxes on your ticket price. Hey don't you know it's customary to tip.
In most of the rest of the western countries it's illegal to tack any requirements on top of the advertised price which weren't expressly priced up in the first place. It was truly bizarre and very annoying.
That's up from about 800MB at startup. The memory reports aren't working either,
Hate to say it, but something is very screwed on your install. Maybe it's time to start fresh. If you're using around 500MB with 30+ tabs open, then you're back in business.
Hate to be the "it works for me guy" but Firefox's memory footprint has dropped continuously and is widely recognised as being much smaller than Chrome's to the point where Google started removing the tools needed to analyse memory use as it was constantly being used against them.
If Firefox is using more memory than Chrome you are doing something very wrong with your plugins or profile. If Firefox is using 700MB for 2 slashdot tabs, you're doing something very wrong with your plugins or profile.
Maybe you should nuke the entire thing and install fresh.
Not at all. The problem is we still need our phones.
Smart glasses are where PDAs were 20 years ago. Not smart enough to be useful, Not smart enough to replace having to carry around something else, and technology not quite there yet to prevent them from being a major PITA.
I'm sure many people would rush at the opportunity to replace their smartphone with just a set of smart glasses, if they didn't look incredibly ugly, if they were useful, and if they could actually replace their smartphone.
Yeah it was rhetorical and while you're right what you have is a lot of this thing that a lot of companies lack called "experience".
This is just one very small part that is missing from the groups of people who think they can change the world for the better. It's one of the reasons so many small businesses fail, they underestimate just how complicated running a business can be. If lack of risk management doesn't kill them, then lack of policy, procedures, consistency, or any of that other boring non-agile stuff that's written down like those slow moving non-innovative multinationals who know nothing will.
Risk management and business continuity are two subjects that even large experienced companies get very wrong. The only time you'll find some small IoT based company doing this is if their director(s) have had a previous failed company.
Slashdot Mirror
A bakery must sell to all customers
No it doesn't. Maybe you should look into that again.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - canceled because it was too high-brow for the killer robot audience.
Err no, cancelled because it had crap ratings for a show with such a high budget.

Get some fucking perspective.
Get your head out of the sand. Trump is well and truly hated by much of the right too.

Hate groups will always exist, the goal here is to keep them in a manageable size.
They may not go out and riot, but they sure as heck aren't going to vote for a Democrat in 2020.
And those are precisely the kind of neo-nazi-lite groups that should be separated from the primary group's recruitment service.
Really, isn't the best way to fight such complete stupidity to keep it in the open?

Because I'd kind of like them to stop helping DDOS providers.
Assuming this statement is true, why would they do that? It would cut off a source of business given they provide "protection".
should make a great name for a future AMD product.

In the Internet era, that means web hosts.
