  1. Re:The SJWs Are Already Attacking The Project on SQLite Adopts 'Monastic' Code of Conduct (sqlite.org) · · Score: 1

    Yes, someone objecting against getting a religion rammed down their throat, how horribly SJW.

    Why don't you fuck off to Raqqa if you like theocracies so much?

  2. Nice friendly folk, but oh so introverted on How the Finnish Survive Without Small Talk (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I gave a training in Helsinki. Wonderful people, friendly, smart, did the exercises in no time, during lunch asked questions about me and how I lived at home and sounded interested.

    In class? Ask a question to get a little interaction, and I was met with stony silence. No feedback whatsoever. And then I got my evaluation results, and they were all happy with the training.

    Lovely folk, really. I'd go back in a heartbeat, but yes, the stereotype exists for a reason.

    Oooh, the typo police is in.

    Since that is apparently the whole of your counterargument, thank you for conceding the point.

    And yet they delivered. So sod off with your snobism.

    kdbus hasn't been an issue for at least 3 years, everyone is focusing on improving the userspace implementations of the DBus protocol.

    But do go on, keep demonstrating that the anti-systemd side is mostly composed of idiots. The more you do your best, the sooner we can write you lot off as irrelevant.

    Yes.

    Want to sealion some more?

    Yeah, if he's willing to risk only his entire fortune. Because other investors are really on the lookout to invest with a petulant child who will take his ball and go home if things don't go his way.

    Tesla and BitCoin stories are fun to watch the complete idiots on finance and economics come out of the woordwork.

  9. Re:Most viable fork on Linus Torvalds On Linux's Code of Conduct (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    What merit-based contributors? The Code of Conduct was signed-off by the most meritorious contributors: the top Maintainers. The whining so far has come from people with no significant contributions.

    Fork away. We'll be glad to see your whiny asses gone, and in two years we can point and laugh at the fact that you're so mediocre you're making even less progress than Devuan.

  10. People who promise us unicorns as solutions for current engineering issues? I am completely within my rights to call them fanbois.

    And heaping liquid sodium and liquid salt reactors together as 'fourth generation' is your favourite game, and if someone takes that conflation and picks it apart you suddenly act all high and mighty and rational and act as if you made that distinction? Fuck off with your moving goalposts.

  11. No, pebble bed was very much tested. Turns out it produced massive amounts of Strontium-90 dust, clogging up the reactor and even escaping into the ground water.

    And as pointed out below, molten salt has it's own problems with a highly chemically reactive coolant. I don't know about you, but the potential of a leak leading to coolant boiling away in chemical reactions does not fill me with a strong sense of safety; after Fukushima the nuke fanbois tried to sell us on molten salt because the heat absorption capabilities would make the reactor safe from decay heat meltdown without needing active cooling. But considering what damage an earthquake could do to the piping holding the secondary coolant, which would then merrily burn away reacting with water and/or oxygen...

  12. "Piece workers"

    There is a reason they died out in the Industrial Revolution. There is also no reason to believe their modern equivalent is going to work better. The burden of proof is on you for that.

    The entire power dynamic flips even harder if everyone decided that they just didn't take the offer, and, you know, organised and appointed someone to negotiate a better deal with the employer.

    But that would be crazy talk...

    Duh. Landry is a Tea-Party Republican. This is just a way to combat the perceived liberal bias of these companies.

    In other words, the Fairness Doctrine was censorship, but this is A-OK because it is in a Republican cause. See how the alt-right idiots right here are lapping it up.

    Ever notice how aggressive rando's suddenly discover 'being nice' when it is them on the receiving end?

    Tough shit. You whine about a code that comes down to 'be nice to people', you've already painted yourself as an asshole. I'm just treating you as you yourself say you want to be treated.

    But, as you bozos keep repeating, it's not a democracy, but a meritocracy. So tough shit, old chap. You will accept just what your betters decide.

    Or you can go away. Which would also be a good thing.

  18. Re:who's behind it? on Linux Community To Adopt New Code of Conduct (kernel.org) · · Score: 1

    Who is the malign force behind the undemocratic imposition of this petty-authoritarian CoC on an unconsenting community?

    The Kernel Maintainers.You know, the people bozos like you keep insisting got there by merit. So why don't you just be a good believer in meritocracy and fuck off? Or is it suddenly not a meritocracy anymore if they don't do what you want? Nice of you to prove the point either way.

    And the fact that one of the objecters on LKML is quoting a neo-Nazi like Vox Day is reason enough to make this CoC a good idea.

    I mean, ok, if it is islamic jihad saying "blow xyz up"...that's pretty easy. But if it is some one that gets on and says something racist, or sexist, or some other -ist of the day.

    And yep. Playing the "You are the real racists" card. That is exactly the kind of projection that gives you away.

    If you don't want to be called racist, not barking when you hear a dog whistle helps.

  23. Yes it does. It was the credit card industry that came up with PCI, not the banking industry. Guess which industry can, by law, fob off fraud losses onto its customers?

    Really, you libertards really are that stupid. Even if there is empirical data staring you in the face that regulatory pressure led to industry action, you still persist in putting your fingers in your ears and going 'Lalalalaaa, I can't hear you!!11!'.

  24. PCI only exists because by law credit card issuers are liable for the costs of fraud.

    As if. You'll just shift the goalposts some more.

    Stop trying to play the reasonable man. Every topic on energy related matters you turn up to spout nuclear industry talking points. You are either a shill or a True Believer, so either way you will never change your mind publicly.
