How many presidents have used unsecured phone lines. In the last 150 years... absolutely all of them.
Opinions are higher than facts. I wish people on/. were more confident about just saying, "I believe this". There is about nothing you can prove except pure math and math has no provable relation to anything in the existing world.
Facts are just pretexts people use to manipulate and editorialize each other.
Honestly, no one on/. understands anything about business or markets, but n of 1 is better than n of many fantasy samples.
In this case the TV industry has rammed so many rejected features down my throat it makes my head spin. And the market has rejected them (but I'm really only interested in my own opinion).
3D TV? No thanks !! Curved screens? No thanks !! Smart TVs? Meh. 8k screens? No thanks !!
If someone accuses someone of reckless endangerment for rolling bowling balls off the root tops of city buildings and then fails to cover their mouth when they sneeze it would be equivocation to say it is the "same thing".
Also Trump wasn't the one investigating Clinton over it. Comey was. Not fair to hold Trump responsible for Comey's (half-hearted) investigation and report.
I hear "security practices" as a blanket catchall explanation for bringing all of business to a halt all the time.
... And verily doth the high security priest decree that all passwords shalt include symbols, katakana, and unicode-only symbols.
This is not the same thing (or the same league for that matter) as keeping info on your server that will get government intelligence deployed abroad killed in the field.
I don't fault you for being a democrat, but please put some thought into what you are looking for in a leader. If voters smell this is the worst people can come up with your party is in trouble in the next election.
Rock stupid people are often the happiest. Socrates noted this.
The misery of the modern condition is being crushed by one's own plans, ideas, and cerebral shackles.
This is the setting one hears the very, very quiet inner divine whisper: "do not lean on your own understanding".
The problem with scaling this understanding is that you cannot go any faster than one person hearing this voice at a time. And it has to be allowed from within. There is no chance of coerced understanding when it comes to happiness. Not in this life.
The day will come when clarity will be compelled on people, but here people are condemned to be free, thus saith Jean Paul Sartre. (Here is a strange case of a Sunday school teacher appealing to a 19th century athiest, but in his defense he was in many ways very foolish -running from visions of lobsters etc).
Maybe the real person you should apologize to is yourself... for frittering your days away worrying about circumstances the Almighty is in perfect control over.
Make your life the personal property of Jesus Christ and your outlook will improve immeasurably.
A combustive mixture of truths and falsehoods here.
Your phrase "religion shown to be empty" is like saying "marriage shown to be empty". Well, yes, marriage does get shown to be empty in many examples. But it depends entirely on the individual. Subjective studies show the happiest people are old, white, republican, and regularly attend church. The happiness of a person depends on the subject. If you look at the general case (i.e. mediocrity) you are going to get sad results.
I have no idea what you are referring to about the decline in energy cost to extract or whatever. We haven't reached peak oil yet, so supply has only increased and price reflects demand right now not supply. Lots of wells in N Dakota are shutting off until they can make money again off it (a pendulum aspect independent of the R or D in the White House). In other words people are not in a malaise about gas prices.
Slashdot Mirror
Did the court say Trump can't silence people on Twitter or that he can't ignore people on Twitter?
People in the comments don't seem to have a clear opinion on this.
"extra processing power also enables games to provide better quality of life"

You are so many miles into I don't care you have no idea.
These HW formulas are just going to turn the industry into a yawn factory.
Massively increased mediocrity does not excite me.
Au contraire.
/. have such a hard time owning that they are human beings.
... the best way to overcome your limitations is to acknowledge them.
Human eyes cannot see more than 30 FPS.
People on
What's so bad about that anyway?
As Jim Collins once said
My science teacher told me I can't tell anything past 30 fps.
I'm inclined to agree.
I'm really not sure what you're talking about.
The US President has the authority to declassify anything he wants for any reason.
This prerogative does not apply to the US Secretary of State.
The recourse here should be for voters to go after foul leaders.
Not for autocratic policies to pick and steer the leaders.

Ok ... some arguable differences between PS3 and PS4 (PS3 Skyrim took forever to load) ...
But PS4 games load plenty fast AFAIC. And I doubt the graphics are going to be noticeably better on anything.
Not interested in the case where my face is inches away from the screen since I don't play that way.
If my HD TV isn't retina resolution I can't tell. So no interest in 4k, 8k or any fps higher than 30.
Degree matters a lot.

Graphics look the same between PS3 and PS4. What is another order of magnitude of cores going to do?
Since Sony probably loses money on each console sold (and I lose money on each unnecessary console I buy) how does this benefit anybody ??

Extreme equivocation here. Donald Trump is tweeting political opinions.
He is not blasting around highly classified information.
Oops ... 20th century

Please tell me you are joking.
You know what is growing unsustainably? Government !!
Ha ... makes me laugh to think of anyone on slashdot reproducing.
... let alone kids.

Objectivity has no way of yielding a value judgment.
Nietchze made quite a name for himself simply drawing attention to this.
Don't forget Camus, Kierkegaard, Sartre, Husserl, Jaspers, and to some extent Kant.
You're assuming money justifies existence.
The truth is existence is always unjustified.
Also consider that social security is a government enforced way to live off the work of someone else's children you didn't raise.
The US is becoming less religious and look at the wonderful results secularism is having on mass shootings.
"wealth of a society is pretty much defined by women being powerful enough to decide by then selves on their reproduction"
What? Am I getting wooshed?
I thought having kids was an expensive process.
An expensive process that steals from those poor government overlords who just want to line their pockets.
Are you sure you weren't watching Pitch Perfect?
