Not only that, but if mankind is the best the universe has come up with so far, it's a pretty piss poor example! We are certainly not the "pinnacle of civilization".
We are what we are because we were what we were. This is our pinnacle! Maybe it will get better maybe not.I think we will get better and survive despite ourselves for many an eon to come. Lets face it there is still lots of whisky to be drunk and I will be dead before it runs out so you young buggers better get your finger out (extractus digitus for you toffee nosed bastards) and keep mankind focused on looking after this wee sphere of yours.Methinks it's all you will have. Oh yes...I am naive.
I hate to say this but, I live in South Africa, and if it wasn't for the fact that I spend a lot of time on/. (Purely for entertainment I'm afraid) I would know WTF SOPA stands for, or means. I've asked round a few people and the same applies. So sorry. I, however, applaud your sentiments and desires. PS, if they carry out their threat and blackout the internet for a while hopefully when they turn it back on they may just lose the switch for BookFace!
Having read the summary and TFA and understood what they were saying backs up your comments re paucity of information. IE if I can understand it there must be more! Actually.
the workers are paid like crap? You can't make a lot of money when you're paying a few cents to a dollar/hr. Raise their wages, add $50 bucks to the cost of iCrap and suddenly China's probably not doing so bad.
Raise their wages...add $50 to the cost of iCrap and BINGO...problem solved...NO MORE iCRAP...you're a fucking genius.
At least it isn't April 1st. Slashdot turns into a flaming piece of shit for about 48 hours every year at that time. This is not even remotely as stupid as it gets on that day.
What is it about the word "fool"that you don't understand?
As a 70 year old tecnoidiot let me tell you the IMPORTANT difference between FF and Chrome. I know what I'm talking about cos I'v used them both and even IE when I was much younger. Chrome is better because the Maám says I swear a lot less nowadays since I changed from FF. What more can I say!
The more experienced you get in life the more human interfaces you can support. See it as if your internal algorithm improved so that not all exceptions bring you to a grinding hold. Instead you actually take pleasure in appreciating the awkwardness lying at the source of exceptions.
See...........there's another reason I don't go to them. If someone uttered that in the group I was in I'd sneak away before they figured out I didn't understand WTF they were talking about.
an executive. All advice above...and below is good, well mostly! One bit more won't hurt: Take your staff for a piss up at least twice a year. Drunks tell the most awesome truths you will ever hear, really in your face truths. Ignore them at your peril. You also hear some really funny shit!
If I had points to use, that would have got you a few more than one! Hit my funny bone...BAM.... I'm still laughing every now and then...Missus thinks I'm nuts.
Do you realize what an earth shattering phrase you have just uttered???? One cannot have " what goes rectangular, comes rectangular ".....can one? Think......round is far better than rectangular...not so? A ROUND shaped tablet is the answer, it comes to hand the correct way up always, and.....so on and so on! The mind boggles. Thinks.....if I can patent this the world will beat a pathway to my door!!!!...or is that a path to my doorway? I'm going to lie down now. Round is the new way. (I'm too old for this shit.)
Those Zoroastrians were cool Dudes, they could write with a sword! And they invented wide brimmed hats and face masks so you didn'd get your face burnt off cos it's seriously hot in Zorostan.
So it's a mattress...right? People sleep and do stuff on them....right? So they test all the shit they find and do some DNA tests....right? Then they grow one of them...like in the movie...right? And bingo....we know what, and where we came from.....right? I mean there has to be some spilt sperm left over.....Right?
