I suggest you check your local laws. Recording your neighbors having an argument without their knowledge and consent is almost certainly against the law.
Depending on location, it is illegal to record a conversation between two parties without those parties' knowledge. In some states, both parties are required to know, in other only one is required. That is why many video surveillance systems don't have sound capabilities. These are the laws many video peepers and upskirt video shooters were prosecuted under because there was nothing on the books about shooting video.
This is what happens when you can't sell papers, can't have a paywall, and ad revenues decline. What you don't realize that soon this will not be just the death of newspapers, but the death of what little true, professional, journalism is left. Soon, it will be all be bloggers, opinion panderers, and spin artists.
If a person can't make money at a profession, that profession dies. Because everyone expects on-line news to be free and don't read newspapers anymore, print media are finding it harder and harder to make money, thus print journalists are finding it harder to make money.
No, you are full of bullshit. You spouted PETA's propaganda. Here, let's look at one claim you make:
PETA has an open-door program in place to accept and euthanize sick and injured animals which cannot be accepted into other animal shelters, in order to prevent them from being abandoned otherwise.
But, every governmental animal control agency in the United States accepts any animal turned in to them. They euthanize those that can't be adopted. Many non-profit, non-governmental shelters that do kill animals also accept unadoptable animals. The only shelters that tend not to accept the unadoptable are the no-kill shelters. You connect the dots.
You are nothing but a PETA shill astroturfing as damage control
Did you know that south seas cannibalistic people referred to human meat as "long pork" because they say people tastes like pork. People, other other other white meat!
This website is full of people because it is a social/community website. It is run by people; the articles are selected by people, edited by people, and commented on by people. Have you forgotten you are person, the singular of people? When one looks at the articles selected by the editors who are PEOPLE, and the comments by the PEOPLE who make up the body of the website, one sees an obvious bias. Saying that 500,000 people shouting and moderating down 50,000 means there is more than one view is completely disingenuous.
Keep digging, Skippy, I am sure you are going to bury me in that hole you are currently have to look up to see out of.
No, you called him a shill because he called out Slashdot on it's hypocrisy when it comes to proprietary vs FLOSS solutions. Classic ad hominem. It may be off topic but it is still true. You mention new and immature, which is a perfect description of PHP, Ruby on Rail, and all the newer technologies. It is really amusing watching you try to counter the truth by spewing hate at MS. Not only are you proving my point, you are continuing to prove mystikkman's point.
Keep digging, Skippy, I am sure you will get out of your hole any time now.
While I am partial to electrician work, a trades type job is great for just about anyone.
No. A trades job is great for anyone who has the interest and aptitude for the work. You may as well say any job is great for just about anyone. If you have no interest in a field, working in it is torture. If you have no aptitude for it, you won't succeed.
Speaking as someone who has a Class A CDL and has driven everything from a motorcycle to a semi, including cargo vans and step vans, if a van has a blind spot that "is anything but in front of them" then you haven't adjusted the mirrors correctly.
A) That is why people keep money in banks,
B) Yes, you can, sort of. In the U.S. you gather up the burned remnants of your cash and send it to the U.S. Mint where they have an entire department consisting of people whose job is to go through such remnants and determine how much money they can actually identify and then that amount will be returned.
Now, what happens if someone figures out a way to break the encryption? What happens if someone steals and makes public many of the decryption keys? What happens if someone makes an affordable quantum computer that can produce the keys in trivial amounts of time?
The problem with using math as a currency is that a math trick can destroy the value of the currency.
No, he is telling the NONTECHNICAL people filling NONTECHNICAL jobs in his pseudo-technical company they are useless to him if they can't do something technical that isn't their job. He is saying this to accountants, HR people, administrative assistants.
To make this clear to you, imagine the CEO of a medical laboratory company telling college grad he considers them unemployable unless they can claim familiarity with at least two medical diagnostic tests. How about if the CEO of an electronics supply company telling college grad he considers them unemployable unless they can claim familiarity designing amplifier circuits? Or, the CEO of a financial company telling college grad he considers them unemployable unless they can claim familiarity with at least two methods of analyzing stock performance. Or, the CEO of a musical instrument company telling college grad he considers them unemployable unless they can play two methods different musical instruments.
To put it bluntly, McDonald is an idiot.
I can assemble a firearm from parts available in a local hardware store. Maybe we should outlaw hardware stores. The fun part is I can assemble a number of even more dangerous devices from the same hardware store, so the hardware store is actually much more dangerous than a 3D printer.
You suspect? No, you hope because it would feed into your world view that FLOSS is as good, if not better, than proprietary software. But, without how and which projects were selected, this is just a bunch of propaganda.
The thing that really sticks out to me is that the projects listed in the article all have paid contributors. That would be people being paid to work on the code. Something that you won't see in the vast majority of FLOSS projects because they don't have corporate patrons and they don't earn any money.
If the 300 open source projects weren't randomly selected (and judging from the article, they weren't), they aren't a representative sample of open source projects.
So, what you are saying is that if I get really fucking pissed at you because you are a real fuckhead, I can destroy your employment/business/personal life and you will good with that, right?

BTW, who pays for the animals that are picked up by animal control?
For someone who is not a PETA supporter, you sure know a lot about them and their claims.
PETA has an open-door program in place to accept and euthanize sick and injured animals which cannot be accepted into other animal shelters, in order to prevent them from being abandoned otherwise.
But, every governmental animal control agency in the United States accepts any animal turned in to them. They euthanize those that can't be adopted.

Those are only a problem if, like pigs and cows, you fail to butcher and cook it properly.

I just hope it only wipes out the people who write these kinds of sensationalistic articles.
He said something you don't like, specifically pointing out the hypocrisy of Slashdot, so he is a shill. You are proving the GP's point.
The client is the government. You are not the government. You are the end user of the software and the client/customer of the government.
Your house has windows. That makes you vulnerable to theft. Under your logic, If I break into your house and steal from you, it is your fault.

Quantum computing, motherfucker. Look it up.

That is .075% of the history of the planet.

Maybe you should try reading the comments to this article to see that most people on Slashdot are just like the asshat in the article.
So, what you are saying is that if I get really fucking pissed at you because you are a real fuckhead, I can destroy your employment/business/personal life and you will good with that, right?
