If the U.S. military ever wasn't paid for a month THEN maybe we'd see REALLY POSITIVE SOCIETAL CHANGE for the first time in my life! (born in 1981).
I couldn't imagine a more happy scenario than vast swaths of the U.S. military AWOLing and reducing our huge budget expense by 50% or something. It'd be AMAZING!
Actually, I hope the entire frickin feds shut down for 3 months and prove to all the statist boot lickers and common rabble that we just don't need them and do much better without them!
As a Texan, I am highly motivated to keeping the masses of people from California, New York, Illinois, oh and especially Oregon and Washington and to a much lesser extent the liberals in Colorado from migrating here after their own states have started failing.
But, alas, like Britain and the Poles, we don't have the authority to do that.
I'm all for a Texit. 250%. Or a Calexit. Either would enable this goal to be possible.
You're the first sane person born before 1979 in this entire article so far!
I'm near the bottom. I'll post this comment once I've read every comment!
YEP! YOU ARE THE ONLY CONTRARIAN (thus sane!) PERSON SELF-IDENTIFYING AS BORN BEFORE 1979 IN THIS ENTIRE ARTICLE! Everyone born after, except 2, are negative of the now.
Everyone on this entire article born before 1979 is so happy about our now.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!
And prove to me humans have ever been beyond low Earth orbit? How did that piece of tinfoil survive a round trip through the Van Allen belts? Why is ALL of the historical original tapes lost?
WHY WAS THE MOON TECH TREE COMPLETELY "LOST"/TRASHED?!
I think people have to be MORONS to accept that humans have gone to the Moon.
In this article, every single person born in the 1970s or before says YES!! Esp the guy who loves his TV!
Every single person born from 1980 onwards except maybe one person says NO WAY!, including me.
I was part of the internet revolution of the late-90s early-2000s. Things went to shit circa 2006 and never recovered. Just gotten worse and worse and worse.
I had hope with The Snowden Revelations of 2012, but nothing happened so now I'm just exceptionally apathetic.
I'm really starting to believe that Gates, Zuckerberg, et. al. maybe are just figureheads for enslavement tech released by the deep state. Have YOU ever tried to innovate and seen how fucking hard it is to get your product seen?!
Have you even bothered to talk to tweens or teens of today?!
They are JADED AS FUCK and usually have NO OPTIMISM in even their own near futures, and usually have never even thought of what the world will be in like in 20 years.
In the late-1990s when I joined Slashdot, I would never have imagined that in 2019 we wouldn't have Unicode / UTF-8 support. I didn't discover UTF-8 until 2002, but still...
At least the open source community wised up in the last decade and most projects are using BSD's License instead of that terrible GPL crap! Coding in 2003 was a pain!
Don't worry. They've been doing this since the early 1990s. I've lived in countries that regularly spray chemtrails (U.S., Canada, UK) and I've lived in countries where, for years, I've never seen a single one, despite two of those cities being major international airport hubs (Bogota, CO; Hyderabad, IN; and Nassau, BH).
Once you realize that certain countries with hundreds of planes in their skies never have chemtrails, it really does suggest something is going on in NATO-aligned countries.
Slashdot Mirror
The math is that every week it goes on costs the economy $2 Billion. So just one more week and it will cost more than the $6 Billion he asks for.
I hope he vetoes EVERY SINGLE BILL they pass until they get a 2/3rds majority or a rock-solid 15 foot concrete wall.
Respect the man with a 6 digit user ID, AC biyatch!

You're such a state bootlicker, it's sick.
You wouldn't survive Day 1 of a real civilization collapse scenario.
This is why I have no hope for either my generation (Millennials), the next generation, or the near future.
You're such an idiot.

I am pretty sure that airports could rehire them, probably just offer them $10k more for the same job and see who jumps.
If not, well, that type of dictatorship needs to be stopped.
Everything you mentioned is just to be inundated by the same pop culture that fucking enslaves us!!
YOU ARE A SLAVE! You literally are!
Your cage is so transparent you don't even know you're in it and get angry from reading this article!
Go investigate what the panopticon world prison system is. Right now!
No, I'm not going to Google it for you. You won't either, probably. Slave.
Go tell that to the guy born in 1972 who is in love with his 65 inch TV and says it's such a way better future than he envisioned as a kid!

> I have a 65" 4k TV that is as close to 1970's sci-fi as I could imagine.
Oh my god! People like that have to be part of the problem! But not a major part. That goes to psychopathic/socipathic CEOs who hobble us all.

What happened was that sometime in the mid-to-late 2000s, young women started using social media in droves.
This has killed not only the Internet but plummeted birth rates and is destroying / has destroyed an entire generation or two or three of women.
We geeks should have never allowed this to happen! If the Internet were still our geek bastion, then the entire world would be much better off!

Seriously.
It's because of the anti-profit-sharing psychopathic CEOs that keep laying off people like us and hobbling our ideas.
The more I age, the more I am convinced that these silicon billionaires are all patsies for the Elites who just give them the tech to enslave us.
You had an awfully cheap imagination then!
I had 100 Mbit in college in 2000 and my home didn't catch up until 2017. Thank you, Comcast!
Man! I just realized that I have been on Slashdot longer than several of my team members have been alive!
Fuck :O 20 years!

Spotify is the best they've ever done :-(

Whomever gives him a hug will risk being banned from FreeBSD!!
Windows just shouldn't be a service!
Leave it alone and give us big big upgrades every couple of years.... That's fine and acceptable and what we're used to.
This autoupdating crap means that any given morning, my box may be broken in very strange ways, with little if any perceivable benefit.

Good point! The NSA will ensure that every single new router reports directly to them.
Hey! I am LITERALLY a trillionaire!
Yes, sir, about 7 years ago, I purchased four $250 Billion Dollar Zimbabwe notes, therefore officially making me a trillionaire, in Dollars!
