Part of the lie is that somehow diversity is somehow going to help your business. "It will open us up to new ideas and a new audience" usually just turns into "Everyone is walking on eggshells around the new hire, the new hire isn't as qualified or hard-working as candidates we passed over, and if we ever try to fire the new hire we're going to get sued for discrimination."
"The US military is developing software that will let it secretly manipulate social media sites by using fake online personas to influence internet conversations and spread pro-American propaganda."
"Gentlemen, we've given the prototype the codename 'Bennett Haselton.' At present it is capable of trolling up to 3.5 pbps across over a million sites at once."
"My god! Are you sure you can even control such a monster?!?!?"
"We're confident that our safeguards will hold and that it will not escape into the general internet."
"But what if it DOES? Can you even IMAGINE what could happen???"
It is good to know that I'll be able to pick up my t-shirt from that guy at Gamestop with the ponytail who keeps wanting to tell me about his character in WoW rather than have to go through the hassle of having it mailed directly to my house.
WTF are you talking about? I have a 270 and at 1080p it will play almost anything at max settings. I would only get a better card if I were pushing a higher resolution than that.
The original space race was a lot more about nuclear weapons fears and saber rattling than I think Neil appreciates. It may have been publicly perceived as a fun thing, but behind the scenes it was about military paranoia and a Cold War that came all-too-close to becoming VERY hot.
The irony is that most of these programs to "promote STEM education in the U.S." are just thinly-veiled attempts to *INCREASE* H1B visas.
the Clinton Foundation, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, etc. have no damned intention of education Americans in STEM. They just want more ammo so they can go to Congress and scream for more legalized slavery.
While I admire his ambition, any school system is going to improve if you bump the teacher/student ratio by a factor 2 or 3
Not to mention the fact that his private school doesn't have to take in troubled kids from the hood, kids with learning disabilities, or poor kids whose single parents are working 2-3 jobs.
These days, Slashdotters have been Musk worshiping even worse than they used to Jobs worship. Glad to see someone else here who isn't firmly in his cult.
And for someone who's such a libertarian, every one of his schemes sure seems to depend awful heavily on my tax dollars to actually work.

I used to own an African Grey parrot who definitely had the disposition and attitude of a T-rex.

The average Gamestop barely has room for their requisite 3 neckbeards and 40 copies of Gears of War 2 as it is.

You just don't get it, Lego.
Fuck you and your vertically sliced pickles, Jerry!!
heh, well a 270 wont do much. he is lying.

Now, now, there is no need to insult crooks by associating them with Sourceforge.
I'm pretty sure that the ability to feel shame is bioengineered out of all Slashdot employees as part of the orientation process.
I'd piss on the grave, but why waste good piss?

Hard to believe that Sourceforge was once a fairly reputable place to download software from. Seems like a millions years ago now.
And his weekends start on Wednesday.
I remember seeing a submission on this early last week.
Well, don't be a tease. Fill me in.

Well, Edison did have a point that AC is more dangerous. There is a dead elephant to prove it.
"Yeah, but WORMHOLES!!"--which to me sounds an awful lot like the secular version of "Yeah, but MAGIC!!"

which aims to increase K-12 CS education AND THE NUMBER OF H-1B VISAS
Emphasis added on what this is REALLY all about.
