It makes perfect sense why someone would want to go to Mars. But what is our incentive to help pay for their trip? (NASA pays a large amount of SpaceX's income)
...the problem is with those companies, whose offenses are well-known. They have engaged [in] evil, of their own volition, not because of their function, but choice.
Please explain what each of these companies have done wrong.
Your big complaint is that it was once free-as-in-speech *and* free-as-in-beer. Tell me, how is software that you pay no money for and have access to all source code somehow not both definitions of free? Are you not still free to pick a distribution that uses sysvinit? upstart? openrc? Assuming you have the knowledge, ability, and time, couldn't you roll your own distro with all those features you want *and* pick which init system you wanted? Couldn't you get the source of systemd and rip out those things you don't like?
You nailed it.
The real problem in Linux land is not systemd it's all the losers who want others to do all the work and give them everything they want just the way they want it.
Look, the open source devs don't work for you. They're not your slaves.
Software is a team effort. In the open source world you can form your own team or DIY if the team isn't going the direction you want to go.
Don't complain about-- you're getting everything for free and you can even go your own way without starting from scratch any time you want.
I was more concerned that the depicted dystopia was a hipster Idiocracy where the whole world is populated by cool kids driving around in antique VW vans with their cool friends and oh-so-nerdy-but-so-cute girls in artfully ripped jeans and converse that are just so interested in that cool video game that the hipster douche du jour is playing.
It is a little depressing to see Nintendo release a console on a different cadence than the other two, and even two years later their hardware is less powerful.
If what you care about is power then why do you even care about PS4 or XBone at all?
Play on the PC if you want power.
Play on a console if you want convenience. This latest gadget from Nintendo seems to be quite convenient.
go fmt replaces tabs with spaces does it not? Regardless, if go fmt is forcing everyone's code into a single style then that's fascist too, isn't it?
Why not just have a syntax and linter that doesn't require the formatting to be just-so in order to check for issues? Isn't it sloppy and fragile to require some weird syntax + formatting combo in order to reason about the source code?
My wife works for a small business that has eleven employees a small office several servers and some software with patents etc. In total that is way over $5m. Also, Rockoon is correct. Typical of a leftist to demand other's money and call them "greedy corporatists" etc. even while robbing them.
Amazing - so this is the attitude of the average citizen in God's own nation, where a higher percentage of people claim to believe in God and Christ and all that?
You mean the woman who got punched after she smashed the windows of somebody's van with a hammer while they were in it?

Y'all always talk about needles in the parks, but I've yet to see even a single one in three years of living here. I did once see one in a back alley, though.
Anecdotes are not useful. Here, I did a thirty-second google for you.
More than 3/4 of our homeless are from Seattle. 90% are from Washington State. http://www.seattletimes.com/se... [seattletimes.com]
Interesting. Thanks. It appears that hipsters don't even take their virtue signalling seriously enough to keep the homeless in their own capital city so that they can pretend to care about the less fortunate.
Sorry, it's against my lease. Doesn't mean I haven't bent the rules to let someone shower & crash on my couch for a night, but it's kinda cramped with me and my fiancee already.
Then don't be so quick to say that others should sacrifice. Perhaps others have their own problems, rent, leases, obligations to shoulder.
Yes, and Hong Kong became a titan of industry, finance, and overall standard of living.
Why didn't the rest of China? Oh, that's right, because communism destroys and ruins everything it touches. Not to mention Mao and the millions he murdered and starved to death.
If I were Chinese I would do everything in my power to get to a "colonialist" hub so that they could "abuse" me to their colonialist heart's content. Far better than the patriotic zeal from Mao and co.
You kids need to learn more history....
Spend some time reading something besides twitter.
Seems like it's you who should pick up a history book and stop gulping down regurgitated propaganda from your leftist professor's mouths.
Their fascist insistence on using spaces for indentation guarantees I will never write anything with it.
If they fix that problem then I will give it a second look.

It's not really my business, but if I were a US voter, I'd completely and deliberately ignore Trump's real or alleged misogyny and whatever emails Clinton has deleted or not, ignore all this mud slinging, and instead make a decision on the basis of the policies and plans that the candidates have laid out.
1. Neither of them have put forward policies that would actually solve the real problems in this country (debt, deficit, entitlement spending, taxes, etc.)
2. Neither of them, if elected, would actually be able to do a damned thing: we have this thing called congress which makes the actual laws and decisions in this country.
3. The average moron on the street-- in any country-- is supremely ill-educated to understand the nuances and impacts of economic and social policies. This is frequently because they're stupid, or because they're busy, y'know, living their lives, or because they have something to gain one way or the other and therefore don't care what's best for the country. Someone who advocates a policy which might go against their own interests should be listened to.
The problem with democracy is that imbeciles can vote.
The problem with democracy is that selfish assholes can vote for free stuff for themselves... at the expense of other, demonized and less popular, citizens.
The solution? Vote to reduce the federal government's power over our lives so that they stop ruining everything.
We need only just enough government to keep the borders intact (and enforce those borders...), defend us from the Russians and Chinese (doesn't take much since they're on the other side of the world), keep our civil liberties from being trampled on by self-righteous assholes (i.e. tree-hugging fascists in commiefornia, flag-waving fascists in New York, sun-tanned fascists in Alabama), and uphold the law (i.e. immigration law, anti-theft, anti-murder, anti-rape laws etc.).
Slashdot Mirror
Agreed. See jnaujok's post above and the AC comment below it (the one about election years).
That's so hot.
So... Year of GNU on the desktop?
(The previous fad was antiskeuomorphism.)
And it was good, too. Skeuomorphic design is stupid and childish.
* The background used to be black on white, aka "light" themes.
And it was excruciating to look at for longer than a few minutes.
* Now "dark" themes are in vogue -- with white on black.
Good. Now I can get some work done without wiping blood off my cheeks.
So... you're saying that 12% of the population is a good sample for the remainder?

The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.

Why are you talking about this stuff as though it's definitely going to happen?
Actually Samsung claimed this one. The FBI confirmed it by finding traces of electronics at the site.
Yeah, it's kind of a new angle isn't it?

What is wrong with me? Why am I so bitter?

Leave and go join the tribes in South America or sub-Saharan Africa.
If you don't do this immediately then you're a hypocrite, aren't you?
Britain took Hong Kong 1841-1997
