"it obviously wasn't all or enough in areas she took advantage of".
Is over-broad?
I know this is slashdot, and I know that quoting habits are notoriously poor. Still, if you were paying attention, you might have noticed which part of your statement I was quibbling with, because that's the part that I quoted. And I even said why I was disagreeing with the quoted portion.
If I was quibbling with the parts that you keep returning to, then I would have quoted them. But I didn't. So I'm not. Which means you're just going in circles trying to prove the veracity of a point you made which wasn't in dispute. Which is, honestly, pretty stupid, and not at all the way to make an effective point.
The fact that you don't call something a program isn't meaningful, is it?
It is. It tells us something about the AC.
It's not a microblog either. Twitter is a company, if you insist on being literal.
Twitter is also a company, yes. But their platform is also called "Twitter". So go figure. Neither one is a "program".
What does Twitter have to do with technology? I don't see it. Their "tech" is so humble that even your aunt couldn't possibly be impressed by it.
If you'll re-read my post carefully, I think you'll see that my comment about technical retrogrades was applied to slashdot, not Twitter. Slashdot isn't the haven for technically adept people that it used to be. Clearly.
Not so. the election pretty much pointed out that even democrats who voted him in last time went for Trump this election.
That's a bit over broad. Clearly, not all Democrats who voted for Obama in 2012 voted for Trump. And Trump got less votes than Hillary, so I dare say that there were still quite a few Obama Democrats voting for Hillary.
For the record, Twitter is not a fucking "chat program". First, nobody except my Aunt Josephine calls anything a "program" any more, and when Aunty J says it she's talking about Lawrence Welk. Second, Twitter is a platform to broadcast every idiotic thought that anyone has to the fucking world, simultaneously. Which means it's a fucking blog. And a microblog at that.
Fuck me. It's like slashdot now lets complete technical retrogrades post here. No wonder this place is overrun by douchebags who think burning down the country is good governance.
This fucking lefty isn't afraid to post non-AC. What the fuck are you afraid of?
I'll tell you what you're afraid of: you know damn well that you'll look like a fucking douchebag in 4 years, and you don't especially want to associate it with your actual (probably mostly pseudonymous) username.
The reality is that the tech industry has reached a dead end with the death of Moore's Law.
Are you implying that raw processing speed is the only possible avenue of innovation? Really? There are no other possible ways that technology can improve?
For partisan hacks, however, Wikileaks has provided useful fodder that could be dressed up as ammunition and presented to low-information voters who are easily swayed by bogus headlines and cheap political spin.
Funny, I would have thought that Clinton's anon shill brigade would have been dismissed by now. Did she pay you through the end of the month?
A reasonable person might conclude at this point that, because they're still here, they're neither shills nor being paid.
An unreasonable person, unable to accept the logical or plausible because it conflicts with their deeply-held but ultimately warped worldview, might instead wonder why they hadn't been dismissed yet.
He's not. But you are quite welcome to believe whatever you want.
You hold him in contempt?
Yep.
You're a fucking retarded monkey is what you are.
And you're an anonymous coward, which is arguably worse. I don't have any qualms about what I'm typing here being part of the semi-permanent record. You apparently do, because you probably know, in your heart of hearts, that what you're saying will not be viewed favorably through the lens of history. That speaks volumes, I think.
You should hold yourself in contempt.
That's an interesting perspective, but I dare say you haven't really made much of a case for why I should do so.
Translation: Waaaaa waaaa, the election didn't go our way so let's have a cry-in and pretend we don't have only ourselves to blame, waaaa waaaa.
I've held Assange in contempt for a lot longer than the 2016 dumpster fire election. The guy is a self-aggrandizing twit who pretends to stand for something principled. He doesn't. He stands for his own ego, and the intelligent among us -- liberal or conservative -- generally have no problem seeing him for exactly what he is.
It doesn't seem like I should have to explain this in such basic terms, but then I have to remember my audience.
Because tanking America's entire economy while raining nuclear missiles on the rest of the world for real or (more likely) imagined slights is a whole hell of a lot worse than all the things the lobbyists may or may not currently be doing.
Put your hearing aid back in grandpa and go read your COBOL manual again. Nobody cares about your old, useless tech and "non-plumb braces" isn't a real term, your dementia is showing again. Git is superior to all version control tools.
I wrote parts of the operating system you're typing on right now, you asshat.
Slashdot Mirror

It's a rant, not a post. You're overestimating yourself.
This is slashdot. The terms are synonymous.
"it obviously wasn't all or enough in areas she took advantage of".

I just checked my file structure.
Stuff installs to Program Files and Program Files (x86), not to App Files, Application Files, or any other variation thereof.
Like I said, "Programs" stopped being a technical term several decades ago. Your OS clearly supports that notion.
To the OP, some Obama Democrats voted for Clinton but it obviously wasn't all or enough in the areas she took advantage of them.
I must once again quibble with your use of over-broad statements. To be clear, most Obama Democrats voted for Clinton. Some did not.
So what exactly is Notepad? Microsoft Excel? That fancy little thingamajig I install to watch my bandwidth usage?
Are they not programs? If not, what are they? Are we calling everything apps now?
Yes, we're calling everything apps now. Or applications, if you like. "Programs" stopped being a technical term several decades ago.
The fact that you don't call something a program isn't meaningful, is it?
It is. It tells us something about the AC.

Fair is fair. After all, Obama was accused of all the same things (literally, figuratively, and analogously).
I think it's in the job description.
Twitter is a chat program.

Chickenshit.
I'm getting to really like this guy Trump. Every time he opens his mouth, the progtards start waving their hankies and screaming, "Faaaaacist!!".
I am compelled to point out that you misspelled "Faaaaascist".
Just sayin'.
You've been brainwashed by leftist fake news.
Exactly. The truth has a decidedly leftist lean to it.
The reality is that the tech industry has reached a dead end with the death of Moore's Law.
Are you implying that raw processing speed is the only possible avenue of innovation? Really? There are no other possible ways that technology can improve?
Of course Apple is gouging you, how else do they have so much money?
By selling a product that people like and want to buy? Just a guess, but what do I know.
I'm not sure how he thinks he can legally do that. A better solution would to to make Apple pay its taxes.
Specious. Apple pays their taxes. If you want them to pay more, then pass the legislation that requires it.
For partisan hacks, however, Wikileaks has provided useful fodder that could be dressed up as ammunition and presented to low-information voters who are easily swayed by bogus headlines and cheap political spin.
Fixed that for you.

Assange is a hero to the free world
He's not. But you are quite welcome to believe whatever you want.

Julian Assange can eat a dick.
What's your point? A lot of people feel like that's exactly the kind of president we need right now.
Those people are wrong. And woefully stupid^H^H^H^H^H^Hprovincial.
I'm curious why you think this is.
It doesn't seem like I should have to explain this in such basic terms, but then I have to remember my audience.

Duh!
Captain Kirk would certainly do it differently, if you know what I mean.
In short, there is no good way to define the exact boundaries. Silicon Valley, then, is more of a state of mind than an actual place.
