Internet culture has long passed the point where it actually gives a fuck about the Internet. It only took 20 years for the people who built the web to be replaced by ten times as many headset-wearing asscracks who neither understand the Internet nor would give a shit if they did.
When some monopoly trillionaire (or just five or six large corporations) buys the fucking thing and turns it off, the best you'll get is a "meh."
Maybe science can come up with a way to stop unemployed fatasses in their pajamas from loading up ten or fifteen sockpuppet accounts so they can mod themselves up while modding down anyone they disagree with.
Games are an industry trying to make money from a free product sold^H^H^H^H given away to people who refuse to pay for entertainment on principle.
1. If it's shareware, they pirate the paid version 2. If it's ad supported they block the ads 3. If it's based on microtransactions, they hack the server, steal all the credit card numbers and post penis pictures 4. If it's client-server, they hack the server and post penis pictures 5. If it's retail, they pirate it 6. If it's a free app, they complain it sucks 7. If it's a paid app, they pirate it
Then people wonder why there's only six game companies left, and all of them bury their games under 118 layers of DRM.
This guy is an atheist. Did you all get that? He's an atheist. If he weren't here, he would be going door to door telling people he's an atheist. The brain wasn't designed by God. It's just a chemical reaction that makes noise. Kind of like this guy.
Stir fry is a chemical reaction that makes noise too. Maybe it has an opinion.
Oh, in case you were wondering. That guy ^ up there? He's an atheist. And he's not going to let you forget it.
Is there an app that will allow you to write, debug and compile executable native code on an iPhone with a full-featured text editor and integrated tools?
Thought not. Try not to sound so much like a paid shill.
Maybe because religious people know they will be singled out, harassed and ridiculed online that they simply choose to avoid the issue.
Take Slashdot, for example. If you say anything about religion that isn't prejudiced and bigoted (or at least passive-aggressive), you get modded down until you can't talk any more.
Which is pretty much what Internet culture wants: conform to our way of thinking or be silenced. Sound familiar?
But I thought outsourcing was the solution to all our problems? It was going to make everything cheaper and lead to a capitalist utopia of free beer, cheap drugs and hookers?
Or maybe it was a bill of goods sold to us by lazy pigs who were too busy filling their pockets to plan ahead more than one fiscal quarter?
After the space station burns up in the atmosphere maybe China will flip the switch on Wal-Mart and we can watch the middle third of the country go dark too.

It's April 1, also known as "worthless day" on the Internet. Every dumbfuck on the web will trot out their particularly unfunny brand of pranks in an attempt to impress Reddit, and fail.
Meanwhile, if you planned to do anything useful today, either go back to bed or fire up a marathon Civilization game. The web is absolutely worthless until midnight.
Occulus was doomed from the moment it was announced.
It's just the most recent version of "virtual reality hype" (which started with VRML in 1996), which is guaranteed to attract stupid money, which is guaranteed to ruin everything it buys.
Facebook is a volcano of stupid money. It flows like lava, and destroys everything it touches. The only way to avoid it is to not live near the volcano.
1. Everything sucks 2. I will not pay for anything, no matter what the quality to cost ratio is. Any game with a price tag is the man trying to keep me down. In fact, if daily raging taser-sex with a different college's cheerleaders followed by a 29-foot roast beef buffet were priced at $0.02 and I had a half-off coupon, I'd still bitch like the entitled little fuck I am. 3.

America is no longer able to conduct basic business. Our national capacity for common sense and rational action is so diminished by now that the simple act of taking out the trash is beyond us.
There are various causes for this but I place the blame squarely on our complete lack of leadership. There are no leaders in this country any more. Oh sure, there are people grabbing for the microphone so they can hog the limelight long enough to fill their pockets, but beyond that, we simply have no leaders left.
We've got ten years, if that. It ends in civil war, dictatorship or mass secession. The only good news is America will serve as historical proof that humanity is too childish and primitive to be trusted with liberty.
We've been told for years there is no such thing as perpetual motion. Except the moon's orbit is a perpetual motion machine.
We could have tidal energy that is renewable forever. We could have solar-powered desalination. We could have wind power without the windmills. We could have convection energy by building hydrogen recapture machines in the deserts.
For man to sit under the sun and cry about energy shortages must be highly amusing to the intelligent life in and out of the universe.
So glad I don't have to deal with people like you any more. You delight in taking someone who is eight weeks behind on their bills, desperate for a job and doing their best and then standing them up in front of a room full of strangers and asking them to perform like a trained animal for a scrap of food.
Why not just make them get up on a chair and bark like a dog?
Their resume is all lies, their degree is all lies and they are a liar, but YOU are the sole arbiter of technical knowledge and you will decide their future. You want worshipers, not employees.
I started my own company specifically so I would never have to deal with people like you again. You are cruel and you are a coward.

You mean the HFT where they not only take 3-5% off every trade, but another 0.2% every time the price changes?

Automatiion my ass. We can't even make a decent word processor.

There's a shortage of people who want to work a temp job for half pay after earning an education and building a professional resume.
