I understand your point, it's just bad grammar. "Slow down" is much better, and will always apply where "start to stop" applies. Besides, women will flock to you.
English language botched or not, this is still a good point. An add-on to that point: Google, Microsoft and Apple all write operating systems and mozilla doesn't. In the future, I feel like these operating-system-writing companies will invest heavily into laws that require web browsers to be a part of the OS, rather than a program that installs. This will, of course, be in the name of defeating terrorism and baby-rapers. Of course, it's also possible that, given that advertising accounts for about 19% of the nation's total economic output, it's possible that in the future avoiding advertising itself will be illegal.
The world is a massive memory hog and generally sucking. But firefox has lots of great extensions. Even if an extension becomes nullified, like so many youtube-downloaders have done in the past, within a few days or weeks, a replacement is available.
I have firefox at home and chrome at work. Chrome is blazingly fast in comparison, but firefox has much more functionality, for me.
Nope. People use these sites because it gives them the sense of well-being. But when you log into Facebook, you're literally working for Facebook, for free. Same with the others.
The way Google, Amazon et. al. are doing it is more like the tube in the ass method. They force a device on (or into) you and take whatever they want (or well, they take everything and filter out. Or not.)
Nope. They sit on that pipe because it makes them feel like they have a life outside of work. But actually, when you log into Facebook, you're literally working for Facebook, for free.
Nope. Google, Facebook and Amazon are all addicted to money. That money is generated by these companies' (product) users, who are addicted to playing the role of their own selfish fantasies.
Yes, I understand your point, and you're correct. Corporations will do anything for money because 'We gotta pay the shareholders.' This is pretty simple to understand. Morals don't apply at the corporate level because it's all about money. But when it comes to killing people while making a profit, you can't blame the corporations for that, but rather the people smoking/drinking.
Nah, not the same. If you smoke, it's because one day you made a decision to smoke. And although you may feel like you made the decision to use a phone, you really have to have a phone today to operate as a normal person (very few people don't have a phone). And now they make these phones specifically to track you, so you have no choice in the matter of "the creation of data on you".
So it's worse than them finding a way to kill you and make money. They found a way to make you live as a slave to the market and make money off of you. Don't forget, most all of the money that empowers these huge corporations has to do with personal data, and marketing to based on that data.
They're making money off of your every action on their platform. If you seriously think that there's a very large group of servers running world-wide, dedicated to serving you and your loved ones, all for free - you're sadly mistaken, my friend. 'You and your interactions with others' is their product. Your gains in this system are made by the illusion of interacting with your loved ones in a way that's meaningful to you and them. Their model to predict your future actions is second to none, because no one doubts the data and how it's presented.
But you don't care about all of this because I'm just another nutter running around spreading FUD.
Government jobs have always been the most stable and predictable.
The government is shut down right now. It's shut down because the president refuses to sign a budget that doesn't include money for a wall to stop Mexicans from entering the country illegally. Being that a wall has never, and will never stop people from crossing a boundary, this means that the whole ordeal at the border will continue waaay into the future, and whatever fucktarded president of that time may claim the need for more money for whatever elaborate business venture he can appease, and the shutdown never ends. No matter if you're a democrat or republican, the American government is as broken as ever. Given these facts, you may want to rethink the stability and predictability of government jobs.
They had 60 days warning of maybe. If it were me, I'd just look for other work - evidently I"m not alone in this idea.
making the whole thing essentially a 20+ day paid vacation
Except they don't get a vacation, they still have to work their government jobs for free, in most cases. And 20+ days? The president (the guy holding the country hostage, in the name of freedom from Mexicans, the guy that started this whole mess) is saying that this may go on for months or years.
So your plan for these government workers is that they should work their free job AND a side job? I kind of get the feeling that you aren't one of these government workers. Or maybe you work in congress, where they seem to have a choice of getting paid or not.
Irregardless is a word sometimes used in place of regardless or irrespective, which has caused controversy since the early twentieth century, though the word appeared in print as early as 1795. Most dictionaries list it as non-standard or incorrect usage, and recommend that "regardless" should be used instead.
Irregardless is a nonstandard synonym for regardless. Its nonstandard status is due to the double negative construction of the prefix ir- with the suffix -less.
"The Data" is not 'your data', it's not 'customer data', it's 'their data'. At least, this is how it is in America, and has been since they first started collecting the data in 2001 (or before).
In actuality, the speed limits are set either by a standard for that environment (school zones, and such), or they're set by people that survey they area, called collectors or arterials.
Education (in America) is free for grades k-12, but then astronomically expensive after that, depending on your career choice?? Seems like it's beneficial for society to grant free education. This bit about paying a percentage of your income back, to pay for college seems like a shitty way to tax people that get an education, so why not just come up with a tax that we all pay for all of our free education? This would be a federal sales tax, in my mind.
That's Slashdot, baby! It's better to bitch about the subject at hand than it is to bitch about bitching. Because if you're bitching about 'bitching on a forum', and you're doing it on that forum, then you may not FEEL like an idiot, but...
No, you do. I buy it for RDP, file sharing, DNS, DHCP, Domain controller, VMs, etc... Each has it's own of charging you for usages. With Linux, this is all always included. Also, I own the OS, can make changes to it, hell I can even resell it.

When >50% of calls are robots or hang ups the system is already broken.
When >50% of the calls are robots or hangups, sounds more like you just need more friends/family to call you, or just get a new number.
You're not using Facebook, you work for Facebook. Spread that message to others, please.
I doubt it, and women won't flock to you.

Once Google stops adblocking in Chromium...
You either start or stop, dude.

It's worth pointing out that the link that I just posted, and received '5 Informative' mod, is the same exact link that was provided in the summary.

In case you're interested to know the breakdown...
You just tell Google your name...
