What if they constructed their Dyson sphere out of wormhole material and they shunt the energy output to the core of another star, effectively cloaking it? I mean as long as we're talking about shit far beyond our ken, we might as well dream big.
I'll share with you a technique that has helped me immeasurably throughout my life: when I find a glaring mistake in someone's output, something that they just should not have overlooked, I first assume that I've misunderstood something and the mistake is actually mine and check again. 90% of the time, it saves me from looking like a jackass.
Stop analyzing things realistically. It's more fun to watch the nerds get all lathered up about how Apple should just roll over and die because this week, they have a hard-on for all things Google.
In response to the argument that the technology of today is copying that design, it seems like a reasonably civil way to say "you're fucked in the head, bud."
if the middle class thinks performing drudge work deserves to be well paid, they're too stupid to exist anyway.
if a robot can do it, it is not a worthwhile job. if it is only a living wage because a union distorts the labor market, it is not a worthwhile job. whine and cry and instigate class warfare till the end of time, but the simple truth is that relying on 'deserving' to be paid well for drudge work means you expect to be taken care of by others, so you get what you get.
The utter lack of business acumen in this community is delicious. Absolutely delicious.
You all "know" how everything should work, get out there and do it! Whining on the Internet has accomplished exactly nothing, ever.
I know, I know, it's too hard to actually achieve, and it's a risk to try, and you're not comfortable with risk. Other people should be doing that for you while you armchair quarterback the operation, because hey, they have money and you deserve to say what they do with it.
They can get over it or not use the service. It's not Google's job to maintain their lifestyle for them, particularly when it's all fear-based. And I get there's a "reason" for the fear, but hiding never fixed anything ever.
"Fighting" with people to force your opinions on them never works. You clearly made a basic, foolish mistake that 10 minutes in any history class ever could have helped you avoid.
No, the change here is that these are wireline workers, and the wireline business is collapsing, but they want to be compensated like it's still the king shit on the poop-pile.
Times have changed, but unions seem to try to fight to keep that from happening. As always, the universe laughs.
Yeah? How much money did Sony lose while trying to get the PS3 positioned? Remember Ken Kutaragi getting his ass fired for bungling what the entire industry assumed was a surefire launch?
I'm just going to suggest I'm not the "fanboy" wearing "goggles" here, chief.
Slashdot Mirror
Sounds like a brave new world to me.
Awwww, you're stuck in the loop of thinking anyone who doesn't defer to your opinions is a troll. How very Slashdot. You'll fit in here quite well.
I wasn't aware you were the official debate-framer and name-checker. I'll be sure to get your OK on things first, next time.

How about we don't call you at all? We're not really in need of anyone to bring a misplaced sense of superiority to the situation.
How did this make Slashdot already? Nothing makes this site for weeks.
maybe fuck em. I'm not here to prop up the weak at my expense. they can die off and strengthen the species. that's evolution, that is.

I'm shocked, half the comments are nerds shitting on the winners. Never would have seen that coming.

In a word: ridiculous.
I agree (which means I shouldn't reply and instead should just mod your post up but I have something to say so here I am :).
You don't understand the moderation system, huh?
Slow down, fanboy. "Better" is a subjective term, and your opinions aren't measurably superior to any others outside of your head.

I wouldn't say "poorly" considering how much more capable everything is now. Don't confuse your apparent hatred of anything new with reality.
Ahhh, a true believer in the myth of the noble poor. Always a cute mindset.
Well, aside from the fact that the CBA had expired, you have a perfectly valid point.
Stroking a blow for software freedom!
Wait, this was about freedom from paying, not the "real" definition of free... dammit.
That's because, logically, religious is bullshit and atheism is the only thing that actually makes sense in the, you know, reality way.
Sorry if that hurts your inflamed sense of jesushumping.
His pot-addled brain.
