There is another columnist like that today, Kevin Williamson at National Review. He spent this whole election season poking fun at people who don't have Roman numerals in their names, until suddenly the ignorant horde rose up and elected the 'wrong' candidate. Oopsie!
But it's on the left, once the defenders of the working stiffs, where this attitude is standard operating procedure.
Geeky children have specialized interests, so there is no one-size-fits-all Science Barbie that would satisfy them all. Depending on your geeky kid's particular talents get a telescope, a chemistry set if you can sneak in a real one, a computer with specialized software of some appropriate kind, a paint set, a camera, or an Estes rocket kit.
With the right gift, your geeky kid can get the start in life that he/she needs to be the billionaire boss of those ACs in this thread who have given up all hope for the future. Their role in life will be getting enough Basic Maintenance Income to keep themselves perpetually stoned and out of your kids way.
That Windows PC that is the source of your epic frustration is probably also made in China. At lease Apple imposes build standards on its offshore manufacturing elves.
"Hating Walmart is party-line obedience to union leaders. Plus classism."
Liberals indulge their classism by sneaking around in Walmarts shooting videos of whatever subset of fat rednecks they can find. Extra points if you get one in a wheelchair or one with bad teeth, because then you get to use your inbred and meth-head jokes.
They haven't done this with Amazon because it's not as easy to poke video fun at a clientele of website clickers. Some enterprising Russian has to write a Trojan which takes over Amazon users' cameras and grabs footage. There will be so much of it that it should be easy to assemble a vid of the most outlandish users you can find and post it on Salon.com .
That's not how this works. Although fusion is a nuclear process, it's just dandy with the SJW community so long as breakthroughs in theory are required to make it work. As soon as someone comes up with a practical way of doing it on Earth, they will find some rationale for opposing it. They always do.
Example: you thought they at least supported fusion so long as it takes place on the sun, didn't you? http://www.wsj.com/articles/iv...
What this study proves is how good our measuring instrumentation is today. We can now detect levels of radiation that are only of interest to homeopaths.
Nice government work if you can get it. Let's hope the stink this revelation will create gives the new administration the incentive to eliminate one of our most hated three-letter agencies.
But if these work as well as advertised, I'm wondering if we will see a lot of hearing impaired chrono-Americans surreptitiously buying these because they do a better job of picking desired sounds out of the auditory slush that surrounds us than the ludicrously overpriced, not-very-good hearing aids the FDA Requires them to use.
Silicon Valley has a major disruption opportunity here.
Let's handle phone calls the same way, with a Calling and a No Calling section. The difference from the old days would be that calling in toilets would be specifically encouraged.
We could make it even more annoying than it is now. Rather than just having to be updated every time you use it, the model that Windows users are familiar with when they run Adobe Reader, make it update two or three times during the playing of each video. Websites will have to stop using it.
"Interference seems to be a big problem with Bluetooth. There are certain intersections in my city where the signal craps out while crossing the street;"
Usually, this happens about ten milliseconds before the truck you walked in front of slams into you as its grille interferes with the signal.
Cut out the greedy RIAA pigs and give the money straight to the artist.
In line with this, I would like to see intellectual property in general redefined as a personal right of the creator of work, not any more fungible than one's right yo free speech. The effect of this would be that any third party that makes money off an artist's work would have to maintain a contractual relationship with the artist or inventor.
I hate having to resort to Kodi to stream episodes on networks that are in my cable tier but haven't gotten around to including my cable carrier in their sign-on list.
Let's hope this is the turning point in ditching those stupid look-and-feel patents. If you want to patent something, it has to be an actual innovation.
The Netflix DVD service used to be famed for including almost every movie ever made. When its big switch to streaming was stymied by licensing squabbles, I was one of many subscribers who stayed with the DVD service because of its depth. I have no problem waiting a month or two for new releases when so much older content is still available. But lately, I get the impression that worn-out DVDs are not being replaced as Netflix concludes that a somewhat better streaming selection means no more need to keep up the overhead of physical distribution and storage.
How would this system resolve the annoyances of existing self-checkout? What happens if your cart includes a bottle of wine or a head of lettuce? Could it sanely handle very light items or large and heavy items?

I can't get you that, but would you settle for Uranium?
I'll see your uranium ore, and raise you. This should have traces of plutonium:

It will be easier to add carriers to Apple's single signon list than to wait for each dinky cable channel to get around to doing it.
Jeff Sessions is the nominee that I'm most concerned about. He supports civil forfeiture forfeiture and is against states' rights.

Some hacker is going to use this app for retaliation when they encounter some BMW driver in traffic behaving like, you know, a BMW driver.
Now it's turned into more of a security Ring Cycle.
