Oh great, now you sound like my friend's dad. "Why are you wasting your time with video games when you could be planning for your future? Why don't you learn how to program spreadsheet?"
is hampering the free market. Why, without the union and all that pesky classroom instruction and mentored apprenticing, I bet we could hire 100 window washers at $5 an hour! No need to worry about why robots can't do what my $5 South American Mexican can do. May the power of Axioms absolve you!
Seems like a lot of these.onion sites are hosted on hosting sites that accept bitcoin. Well, how many of those are around? Kinda easy to whittle down after you get that list.
I liken it to the pseudo-hard-on some folks have for Meg Whitman. They think that just because you have a multi-billion dollar idea, that you obviously must be some kind of goddamned genius. Let's give it up for meg and for zuck: they had a couple really great ideas and were able to execute or hire people who could execute those ideas. But that doesn't mean they're suddenly the smartest people in the world or the most visionary or whatever and it certainly doesn't mean everything they can think of is gold waiting to be packaged and sold.
Tor is only as secure as the user is. What good is it to use tor to conduct business, then hand out your gmail address, or a skype name, or post on non-tor-based forums with the same fucking username you use on your darknet presence? Or if you configure your web server incorrectly? Just because it's the "darknet", it doesn't protect the users from their own ignorance and stupidity.
I buy my tickets online, but even when I don't I can't count the last time it took me 30 minutes to get a movie ticket. I go to the movies around 5-8 times a month and generally have a great time. Dont' know what bug crawled up your ass.
I like the idea of a return to the auto-restaurant. With the wall of boxes like a giant vending machine. Staff just refills the holes. I always thought of cyberpunk dining as an extreme powerbar with a nootropic smoothie...:D
Conan: Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!
Now consumers are becoming aware that there's a massive counterfeiting problem and can be better educated to ask their vendors "Hey, is my device legit?" I certainly had no idea that this was going on.
Treat them just as you'd treat your non-female co-workers. Of course, then you'll end up with an Adria Richards type who thinks your mentioning of a dongle is sexual harassment.
Erm, no? When I was having wireless issues on a new (to me) Thinkpad, I couldn't even get online to search for the problem. Installing a completely different distro ended up fixing those wireless issues. The Windows installation Linux replaced had no such issues. In fact, I can't think of a time when I *had* wireless issues with Windows, but I can recount many, many issues with wireless under Linux, from having to compile the kernel with things like PCMCIA support to support my old Orinoco Gold PCMCIA cards, etc etc etc. You're probably right: Had I had these same issues under Windows or MacOS, I'd be equally as lost, if not moreso. However, in 15 years of computing, that particular issue has not come up under Windows (although there have been many, many others). Hell, on some of my hardware, I can't even get Linux to install anymore (something about APIC (not APCI), etc) whereas the Windows XP install it came with is perfectly fine. And so on.
I love Linux, use it all the time, but when it's fucked it's good and fucked and my solution these days is just to keep all my data on a different mount just in case I just have to reinstall vs actually troubleshoot an issue.

Yes. Because people are fucking assholes. Yes.
It's cute! So is the Plan 9 mascot.
Having had to listen to high school aged kids on the bus recently.. VX gas would be acceptable.

That they're going to build a giant version of the salmon cannon.

I'm not gay, but my boyfriend sure as shit is.
This whole commercial vs government funded, ethics and morals, etc etc all hashed out in a Star Trek movie?

Intelligence is knowing that everyone around you is full of shit.
Wisdom is knowing you are, too.
I thought it was gonna be something new from Bruce Sterling, also author of a "Black Swan" story.
What are they feeding the volcano?

Turned out to be the ultimate SJW.

*15-20 years, actually. Didn't start messing with Linux until around 1998, and then it still took a back seat to BeOS...
