  1. Re: More accurately - A **few** FB employees outr on Facebook Employees Outraged Over Exec's Appearance at Kavanaugh Hearing (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 2

    Republicans are corrupt. Democrats are incompetent. There is a difference.

    How can democrats not be corrupt? Democrates could do ANYTHING and the media wouldn't publish bad things about them. This is INVITING corruption.

  2. Re: Their Still Exist People on Facebook Employees Outraged Over Exec's Appearance at Kavanaugh Hearing (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1

    life isn't about being popular, it's about being right and doing right.

    No, democracy is about popularity. It does not matter who is right or wrong.

  3. Full democracy is essentially a system where the dumbest 51% call the shots. Solution? Only people with a degree from a college of business or a college of science or engineering should vote.

  4. in the 80s and 90s only the Republicans had to toe the line or get tossed. Today, only democrats have to toe the line or get tossed. My My how the dynamic has change. These people would be disowned by their lefty friends if they don't tow the line.

  5. I had no idea we had taken it this far.

    I guess word WILL break this ones bones.

    Sue to keep it OFF until trump is replaced by a democrat in 2024.

  8. Same POTENTIAL abilities. However, I find that among my colleagues men will work overnight to meet deadlines but women wont. In a high demand field that requires lots of extra hours, it makes sense that people who work the extra hours are paid more and managers are more likely to hire and keep employees who work extra hours. Want more women in STEM? Make it part time.

  9. It happens when a new user account is created too, after already removing it from the primary user account.

  10. Re:Witch! on Cody Wilson, 3D-Printed Gun Pioneer, Arrested In Taiwan (reason.com) · · Score: 0

    they are basically saying that paying for sex with a woman who is convincingly an adult is the same as being attracted to prepubescent girls. The word 'pedophile' will so be a word to mean anyone who is with a woman that is 1 minutes from being 18 or earlier. THIS JUST IN: Man has sex with women who was 3 hours away from her birth time that day and there for was still 17 until 9PM that night. Man is charged with rape and sentenced to 20 years.

  11. Not a pedophile on Cody Wilson, 3D-Printed Gun Pioneer, Arrested In Taiwan (reason.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Paying for sex with a woman who convincingly passes as an adult does not make a person a pedophile. A criminal, yes, but saying he is into prepubescent children because he bought sex from a person who could easily pass as a fully grown adult is just fraudulently incorrect.

    This is genius

  13. I only do about 6 hours worth of work anyway. The real problem is that my boss doesn't give me enough to do.

    Because taking money from one person and giving it to another (usually for a vote) is morally the left thing to do....

    This is actually the reverse. My glasses with insurance were 500$ a pair, the second pair not covered by insurance were 75% off.

    Everything in a CS degree is free online. Anyone can better themselves with just a cheep computer. Education IS free, but college is not free. Someone has to pay the processors, the cleaning staff, the security, the constructions for buildings, etc... Even if college has no tuition, its not free, taxes will go way up.

  17. I should finish this semester and stop going to college until its free. I pay out of pocket by working full time too, I could really use a couple of free semesters.

  18. This is what the UK wants, why is it so much worse if china wants it?

  19. Good book on Slashdot Asks: What Book(s) Are You Reading This Month? · · Score: 0

    Reading this for my toy OS... USB: The Universal Serial Bus (FYSOS: Operating System Design Book 8)

  20. This metric is flawed, it makes sense that two nations of equal standing, where one has triple the population, should have more of one thing or another. Adjust the metric to be "As a percentage of its population" and maybe it might mean something.

  21. B...b....b....BUT CHINA has no equality enforcement for board rooms and tech jobs!! How could a true meritocracy like that ever be the dominant power in science!?!?!

  22. The issue is that we are being told what is and is not ok to say. For most people this is fine because they have never tasted true freedom of speech anyway.

    I agree master-slave is problematic

    WIP should stop being used as short hand for WORK IN PROGRESS, because it sound like whip. That's how stupid this whole thing is.

    Not only is slavery alive and well, a lot of it happens to be black people enslaving other black people in Africa, just like it has always been.

    Even if that was a fair comparison, why should people take on hardship in order to be polite? Thats counter to human nature. If they had done it, and not bragged about how great they are for doing so, maybe I would believe it was to be polite.
