In any country where Uber drivers are making $13 an hour they already have a very decent standard of living. Compare an Uber driver in the USA or Europe to anyone from Africa, the Middle East, India, or most of China.
No wonder the rest of the world considers first-worlders such pricks. We complain about living in the lap of luxury. We have air conditioning, big screen TVs, internet, no warlords raping and killing us by the thousands, and so much food that over half of us are obese and dying from it! Yet folks like you complain about earning more than minimum wage?!
Even the poorest in the first world is like a king. But most importantly of all: even if you're poor now nothing prevents you from rising above it thanks to the relative freedom and opportunity we enjoy in the first world. Yes, it absolutely isn't a cake walk to raise oneself out of poverty, but then again all it takes is hard work and not making stupid decisions in the first world. No wonder the third world is stampeding our borders.
There's also the 100(ish?) span by the sexy Delta II (when I saw some concept art around 1990, I fell in love with it. That's what rockets were supposed to look like!)
So you are attrakted to large fallik objects, ja? How long have you had zeez fantazies about your vater?
I think you're being sarcastic, but seriously... why not have a single universal port standard for everything from USB-like peripherals to networking to video in/out to charging etc???
Because it's not about our safety. It was never about what was good for us. It's all about power. Power for "them", the g-men. Us little people need to get back to work to pay those taxes. Also, there's an awful lot of cans that need to be picked up, citizen.
So... since the feds and virtue-signalling sjw retards are trampling on the rest of the constitution and our rights we should go ahead and give up more rights?
It should be mentioned that in those days cannons, warships, swords, halberds, pistols, and muskets were all totally legal for civilians to own. You had to pay for it yourself, of course (TANSTAAFL), but the point is that these were all the same things that were available to the military of the time.
Have you seen our military budget? An armed rebellion would last about 15 minutes.
1. If you can't do better than a bunch of sheep-f***ers in Afghanistan then you probably should go ahead and butt out of this conversation.
2. This is the same ole "can't beat them drones" argument. Well, they have to land somewhere sometime. Also, drones and fighter jets can't occupy land and keep the civilians in check. Bombing literally everything and everyone into dust defeats the point of a civil war (resources) as well as turning the population against you-- so the government isn't going to do that.
3. Would you rather have weapons to stand up to tyranny or just be raped with nothing you can do to even fight back?
Now look here, you racist bigot homophobe, what Bill Clinton does and what homosexuals do in the privacy of their own bed rooms is their own business; and what political issues a CEO of a company donates for or against with his own money is everyone's business and he should be publicly shamed, fired, and run out of society for it. Especially if it's one of those racist bigot homophobe white males!
We can't have a society where commoners are free to voice their opinions and/or vote according to their world views-- do you want chaos?!
You better get with the party line-- er-- get with the times. You don't want to be on the wrong side of history do you? I mean come on, the year is 2016!
I'm a longtime Linux user and every article I've seen decries Linux's extremely poor power management especially on Laptops.
Can you go into more detail on your setup?
Did you install any custom or non-standard kernels modules?
Any specific config tweaks?
What version of W10?
OK, rant over... gotta go mow the stupid lawn now. Unless there is some Federal law against that I don't know about.
Not so fast, citizen. Have you read and complied with the relevantregulations, citizen? The EPA is only concerned with what's best for all of us, citizen. You do want to be a good citizen, don't you, citizen? Now pick up that can.
To anyone who scoffs at this: ask yourself: "Why should the federal government be concerned with how I mow my lawn that I paid for and continue to pay taxes for?"
I like this because it'll inevitably be slightly inaccurate and therefore force Uber to allow access to their accurate and up-to-date pricing in order to compete more effectively.
If Uber doesn't allow access yet remains in the lead then what else can you say but that Uber's service is that much better/cheaper/faster than the competitions.
I know what you mean.
But my solution was to just wipe out Windows and never look back.
I miss Windows games kind of like I miss playing console games from my childhood. I have fond memories, and I still get the hankering to go back and play FF7 or Zelda. I just put Windows in the same mental category as a PS1 or a SNES.
I still have more games in my list on Steam than I have time to play-- why should I worry about old games I've already played that I wouldn't even spend much time on even if I went to the trouble to get them running again? Twenty years from now what will matter more to me? Playing Rage and Far Cry 3 or knowing that I have control over my own computer and don't have to deal with ads, spyware, and a crappy un-cusomizable UI?
I'd like to add to your list (from the list of games that I've personally played on Ubuntu 14.04):
* XCOM 2
* Wasteland 2
* Unity of Command
* Total War: ATTILLA
* Torchlight II
* Teleglitch: Die More Edition
* The Talos Principle
* Serpent in the Staglands
* Planetary Annihilation
* Metro 2033 Redux
* Metro: Last Light
* Empire: Total War
* Door Kickers
* Darwinia
* Cubemen 2
* Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
* Antichamber
* Amnesia: The Dark Descent
* Alien: Isolation
* Age of Wonders III
A far greater number of people are currently dealing with or will eventually deal with cancer than are living in their cars.
Also, to get extreme, it's possible to live in a mud hut and eat berries without dying. Cancer is terminal without treatment.
Try installing and using something other than Gnome or Unity. I highly recommend Cinnamon or MATE if you want a "vanilla" experience. There's also KDE and XFCE are fairly mainstream. I'm personally addicted to tiling window managers and I use Awesome WM, though I've heard great things about i3.
Any of the above options are a simple sudo apt-get install away on Ubuntu.

get kicked out on their asses.. er.. sorry... rear inputs!
That's "rear exhausts" you sexual pervert! They were never designed for input!

No, he's saying that they plug their distro into systemd instead of into a power strip plugged into the wall.
Explain how you interpret "as part of a well regulated militia" that way. Provide some references.
Here you go you illiterate fool.

Also, isn't it hypocritical to accuse the current crop of programmers of stereotypical behaviour?
Steam + Linux user here: you guys should come on in, the water's fine. And W10 seems to be annoying a lot of folks...
Of course they did. The wrote the text of the legislation.

I don't think it works like that.

Personally I'd guillotine the lot of them.
How are you going to do that when apparently you can't even buy a butter knife without ID?
