This was a perfect opportunity for you to supply the definition...
Trolling is just being an asshole to someone else online.
Stipulating, that this is your definition, why can't such behavior be useful? For example, that someone else may be an asshole — haunting him out of your favorite forum may be useful to you and other participants...
Bias against trump because he's a dickweed isn't racist merely because he's right
I was referring to bias for Obama — the phenomenon known as bigotry of lower expectations. Whether such racism really did motivate the newspapers or not is neither known, nor even knowable. But it certainly is a no less well-supported accusation, than the summary dismissals of Obama's critics as "racist" were.
And your sig is still idiotic because I remember people criticising bush before Obama being called unpatriotic.
And you are an idiot, because this observation does not contradict my signature in any way.
Bad analogy, because crime (in the usual meaning of the term) is just wrong, regardless of whether there are laws/rules against it. Trolling, on contrast, may be useful, informative, and entertaining.
if I have to disclose my social media accounts and phone or social media login details, I will spare you from the several thousand bucks
Trump had, literally, nothing to do with it. Here is a June 28th 2016 article about the searches, but our racist media gave Obama a pass until Trump got elected. And then, before the President-elect even entered office, there was an avalanche of articles about the "new" procedures — not directly blaming him, but planting the negative thoughts in the gullible heads (like yours and those of your adoring moderators here today). Only some of the reports mentioned the truth:
searches increased fivefold in the final fiscal year of the Obama presidency
So, no, it had nothing to do with Trump. More likely, the reason is the growth of dollar since last December — vacationing in the US simply became more expensive for foreigners, while going abroad became cheaper for Americans.
eschewing the XML they rely on -- which is frequently malformed and difficult to parse
People making mistakes implementing a spec is not in itself a good reason to drop it. There will be malformed JSON, that's to be sure. Do you escape slashes? Are true and false quoted? How long can a number be? Do the numbers use decimal dot or decimal comma — or does it depend on the locale? And, in the latter case, the server's locale or the client's?
I agree, that JSON is easier to read than XML, but not easier enough to change the standard now.
The ancients could monitor lightning as it happened too. But whether it was Zeus throwing them, or aliens, or "electricity" was just as equally "testable" to them, as the two explanations I mentioned...
You'd need the same number of doctors and nurses in the long run
Yep, and some number of human drivers will also be needed. Heck, we still employ some horse-baggy drivers too. But we'd need drastically fewer doctors — trauma patients represent less than 5% of US care-seekers today, for example — than we have now, which is why my analogy is valid while your responses — meaningless.
Using AdBlock I (try to) block all the fonts (*.woff) — except "awesome" and similar "fonts", which are, in fact, icons... The browser falls back to some local substitute or another, which is just fine with me — and makes the world a slightly better place by reducing the network traffic and memory usage on my desktop.
Maybe, more people should do the same — thus hinting to the webmasters to concentrate on content more than the presentation...
The purpose of a taxi (or Uber, for that matter), or a delivery truck, is not to provide the driver with employment. The purpose is for the passenger(s) and/or cargo to get there. If that purpose can be achieved without a human driver for less money, than so be it.
Imagine, for a second, some wonderful pill being invented, that eliminated all disease. Would we seriously consider unemployment of doctors and nurses as a downside to the pill's wide adoption?
Chinese spies hacking the CIA, they are just doing their job
Chinese spies are doing their job, that's right. But Snowden's treason, likely, made that job easier. The asshole has blood on his hands — blood of Americans and those foreigners, who chose to help us, be it for money or to destroy the Communist regime, or both.
That said, I can't wait for Snowden and Manning to come out condemning Trump for sharing intelligence with Russia.
Kid, Ukraine's current Prime Minister is Jewish, as are some of the "oligarchs". There are enough Jews in the "Right Sector" to cause severe consternation to the actual Nazis. Ethnic Jews, along with Russians, Georgians, Tatars, etc. fought and died to defend their country from the invaders.
You expect to just throw unsubstantiated accusations of anti-Semitism around anonymously and be believed?
Says the guy pushing propaganda about Russia "invading" Ukraine from right wing Ukrainian propagandists.
Dude, Russia's very president admitted in 2015, after a year of denying, that it was Russian soldiers, who took over Crimea's institutions. Two years later you are still denying it?..
You mean the eastern half of Ukraine defending themselves from neo-nazis
As I said, for a Nazi accusation to stand, you must show evidence of gas chambers, concentration camps, or — bare minimum — ethnic cleansings. Without that you are just tripping over Godwin's Law...
What about them?
Collaborators with the enemy have always suffered badly in the end.
by a U.S. coup of the elected government
Bullshit.
if Russia overthrew the government of Mexico
For that, you Russian assholes need an attractive way of life — with decent economy and standard of living. And for that you need to be properly Capitalist and otherwise decent — everything you touch until then will become North Korea at worst or Venezuela at best.
Besides, Russian soldiers all have perfect English grammar
No one made any claims about all Russian soldiers.Most Russian soldiers don't know even the Russian grammar. Some Russian soldiers know English grammar better than most Americans do.
An advice for you, Ivan — do not post anonymously. Don't you have access to some stolen/.-accounts as described in TFA? Use that — you will be believed for a 5 seconds longer...
"Some people say that it is not for government to regulate when it comes to technology and the internet... We disagree."
Sounds like something, fans of "Net Neutrality" would say...
At least, UK may create a new "government controlled Internet" (or so the write-up says). America's Progressives wish to take over the existing network, impose "Title II" on the ISPs, ban the sites they don't like and otherwise sensor "haters".

It does not appear, that Monsanto has anything to do with this particular research. Maybe, they will buy the relevant patents later.
In any case, if you make money using somebody else's intellectual property without their permission, you better spend some of it on Vaseline, yes...

I am not an astronomer — not even an amateur one — but is "giant alien structure" really the simplest explanation they could come up with?
And how is it different from the "God made it so"?
Nor will self-driving cars eliminate all drivers. Your response is meaningless.

A dog-whistle for "funded by taxes"...
Because some people's jobs are too important to be paid for voluntarily, by the willing people desiring the fruits of their labors.

Yes, sure. Defending one's Motherland from invaders is "crazy".
