Because you can't use fear-mongering to get your two parties consistently re-elected if your voters are fucking smart.
For example, does anybody really think conservatives want to ban abortion? Why get rid of your best ticket to office when you can make some lame-ass attempt to ban it, have it struck down, and then blame the "liberal agenda" and "liberal courts" further reinforcing their voter base.
And don't you dare think liberals are any better.
It's pretty damn coincidental, don't you think, that a Clinton or Bush has been in the White House every year going all the way back to 1971. Bush senior was president, vice president, ambassador to the UN, and Director of the fucking CIA--arguably the worlds most powerful organization ever. They've outright admitted to overthrowing other governments and we're stupid enough to think they wouldn't try their tactics in the USA?
How did Obama's platform of government transparency work out? Does anything really believe he intended to be transparent and then just magically changed his mind 180 degrees, and then went on to increase all of the Bush Era spying? He either lied outright, or was magically forced to change his opinion. Either way, it's a complete fuck up.
While that may be true, you might also be missing the point. Any project undertaken on someone else's land should absolutely begin from a place of respect, and not "ha ha, I own this shit now." Words and context are extremely powerful. The difference between a protest or revolt for the same deal can be as simple as shaking someones hand, or bowing out of respect.
This is pretty hilarious. I thought liberals had convinced us that racism never occurs to white people, and is never caused by "minorities."
The last day of school has long been unofficially designated "Kill Haole Day," with white students singled out for harassment and violence. (Haole — pronounced how-lee — is slang for a foreigner, usually white, and sometimes is used as a racial slur.)
It's funny when not having security at all is referred to as a "security hole." That's like me not building a water dam at all, and then saying "there's a hole in the dam allowing some water passed."
What if this was an intentional backdoor so that they-who-shall-not-be-named can spy on internet traffic of closed networks and WISPS?
And it was not included in the the source packages because the source is subjected to a gag order and publishing it would be showing it to the world.
Lastly, if this is true, what if this is "standard procedure" for backdoors inserted into many open-source projects, where the code presented is actually a fork of the true, backdoored code, running on lots of hardware? Or, as per Ken Thompson's watershed article, "Reflections on Trusting Trust", they-who-shall-not-be-named has a version of GCC capable of adding backdoors to open source code and we're all blaming Ubiquiti for something they didn't even put there?
I'll be the first to admit, there's plenty of speculation here. But if there's anything we've learned in the last few years, the state of spying is way more prevalent than we thought it was. So while I have no proof, I'm certainly holding onto this information should more evidence come out.
>NASA is exploring a related possibility: moving the co-pilot out of the cockpit on commercial flights, and instead using a single remote operator to serve as co-pilot for multiple aircraft.
Could you imagine what would happen to the person flying an aircraft in an emergency that crashes? That'd be like the captain not going down with the ship, and if anyone remembers South Korea, that did not end well at all. They'd want his bloody head on a stick. The only reason people don't go after pilots when a plane kills their loved ones is because the pilots are already dead!
>Well, there's also the fact that it's easier to put pressure on Indiana than on Saudi Arabia.
When gays are lynched, and women are getting their genitals cut off in other countries--and nobody gives a crap--it kind makes you wonder if they only bitch in the USA because it's convenient.
I don't recall the civil rights leaders of the 60's saying "Free the people that are easy to free, and forget the rest."
You can easily splice the cable. All it needs is a 12-volt power supply (@ ~1-2 amp) and a proper USB connector (instead of their proprietary one). I've got one on my desk right next to me. It was a simple solder job.
I imagine the Kinect One has a similar setup.
The point is, it doesn't matter if Microsoft cares about supporting robotics students anymore, or anyone really. The hardware is easily adaptable, and plenty of smart coders have already made Linux drivers.
As long as those idiots keep manufacturing the hardware, we can keep using it. Regardless of their open-promise bullcrap.
If they truly committed those crimes, then why did they have to MAKE UP EVIDENCE to convict them? People following the truth don't need to lie to bring justice.
That's entirely false. Once an senor is reading at 100% of the time for a given interval, the only thing you can do is increase the time interval, which means any movement causes blur because you're averaging more time into a single image.
There is no replacement for sensor size and lens quality. Read what an airy disc is. None. You cannot violate physics with a PR campaign.
If you measure someone's productivity by hours, and not solving problems, then it's clear you're not a market leader. You can't use people like robots. The human brain cannot be simplified to easy math. There's ramp up time, there's ramp down time, culture and more. If you attack people who are trying to keep their brains fresh, you're hurting both your employees AND your own business productivity. In otherwords: you're as stupid as the people who cut short-term corners thinking it'll save them money in the long run and then blame their line workers when productivity falls.
> What would you say if one of your programmers was working on a cool Easter Egg instead of being productive and working on the actual product?
Would you rather that programmer be on Reddit or Slashdot? The last thing you want to do is associate doing additional work with negativity. Unless that programmer is spending a large portion of his time not working on the project, it doesn't matter WHAT he's doing. If he relaxes by programming interesting pieces of code to make up for all of the bullshit boilerplate code he has to deal with 8-10 hours a day, maybe he's doing something positive and saving his brain from melting from the stupidity.
I've been working for a year and a half on Microsoft Dynamics enterprise software and it makes you want to kill yourself. I find any excuse I can to write a snippet of code to solve a problem so that I don't end up a rusty, unhirable employee.
A typical response. Anyone who doesn't want to hang around women all day must be broken.
You're so biased you can't even see the silliness of shaming someone for not wanting something that you assume everyone should want. Your head is on so backwards you're calling the guys that don't have an unhealthy obsession with the other gender, crazy. In your attempt to shame him, you've actually confirmed my point--that society ostracizes anyone who doesn't submit to the idea that women must be a prize to be sought after and won
Do you have any idea how many logical fallacies you've managed to commit?
You can't magically pull out the Gamergate card and throw away her entire career of psychology research. The mere fact people are drinking your cool-aid without subjecting it to logic is further proof that there is a huge backlash of modern feminists against classic feminists.
This woman was fighting for women's rights likely before you were even born. So your post speaks volumes more about your own confirmation bias, than it does to discredit her.
>Technically you do get asked before firmware installs proceed (download happens automatically in the background). You're free to simply not apply the update.
Thank you for this clarification. Because all I've heard is Elon Musk sent a magical firmware upgrade to everyone's car overnight to fix an issue, with no mention of people getting the option of opting in, or approving it. That's better. But as you continued, we're not getting smarter and smarter cars, with more GPS and Internet, and zero ability to check what it's doing or who it's calling.
>But really, this ploy, and Slashdot's new social-justice-warrior driven coverage of it, is driven more by a desire to distract everyone from foreign events, Hillary's email server, and Obama's frequent and blatant power grabs.
THANK YOU. It's like everyone's drinking the cool-aid and nobody realizes that bullshit like this happens every time something important goes on. There's a fucking nuclear deal in Iran going on RIGHT NOW... but someone, somewhere might be jacking off to pictures of women? NO WAY, STOP THE PRESS!

Hot damn that's some fiery racism.
It's funny when not having security at all is referred to as a "security hole." That's like me not building a water dam at all, and then saying "there's a hole in the dam allowing some water passed."
And the low-effort of the day joke award goes to... someone else, sorry. This wasn't good enough.
Just because Green energy douchebags are making money off of a problem, does not mean the problem does not exist.

You probably got that out of the Anarchist Cookbook! I never read it, but I'm even more sure now that it needs censored!
I wonder if you would feel the same way if anti-union companies around the USA used the same tactic to keep worker wages and rights down.
