You seem to have missed the point about universities. They are about making money first and foremost. Can't do that if you offend people. Of course, when money is job one, that's what we used to call "selling out."
Really? Not happening, because the bulkier a browser gets, the crappier it gets. Bad enough we have to deal with OS security bugs, now you want everything to also have to deal with browser security bugs? Insane. Might as well just install Flash and be done with it if more bugs is your goal.
That's one thing that both Anonymous Cowards and running an OS in the browser have in common - who gives a shit? The only thing both are good for is to ridicule.
Running a secure OS inside an insecure browser doesn't magically make the browser secure. This whole thing is like a dancing dog - a diversion, but on the whole not very useful.
Also, why is it my job to convince you, when the majority agrees with me? You're the one with the opinion not backed up by either practice or evidence? When the military, the courts, and the majority of the population disagrees with you, you're the one with the burden of proof.
And yes, here purposefully and repeatedly misgendering someone (which is what you've been doing with Manning) is considered a crime. Not only does it fall afoul of defamation laws, but it's also sexual harassment. Would you like to go on THAT list? It can be arranged - just come on up.
I already gave the underlying biological cause of transsexuality plenty of times, both in this article and elsewhere. Not my fault if you are far too stupid to read the comments or even look for any of the recent research into epigenetics or development of the brain in the uterine environment. If you REALLY wanted to know, you would not have cherry-picked from studies that have since been debunked, or researchers who have since been disgraced.
How about the personal responsibility of employers who don't want people with black-sounding names, even though they love them when the same resume is submitted with a white-sounding name? How about the dearth of blacks and women as coders? Black engineers are nowhere near represented in the industry based on their proportion of the population with engineering degrees. Why not put some personal responsibility on those who allow such practices?
It's going to be the same as more and more jobs are lost to robots. When you lose yours, how are you going to like it when someone says you should take personal responsibility, even though you went into a 6-figure debt to make sure you could get a job? Because if you live long enough, it will happen to you.
Pretty much so. Or do you really believe that classrooms have such a homogeneous group of students? Besides, if they're the bottom of the barrel and you pass them anyway, you're not giving anyone an incentive to try.
Racism keeps them poor, because they are shut out of jobs. Keeping them on the reserves means that most Canadians never get to know one. It also opens the door to massive corruption, such as the band chief and her husband who took combined salaries of over half a million a year, tax-free, to "administer" a band of 80 people, and then had the nerve to say that there wasn't enough money to fix the problems. Of course not - they took a huge chunk of it.
Or the band chief who grabbed almost a million, then fought the government (like many did) to not have to show the books.
And yes, we throw billions at the problem, to no avail, because corruption is the norm, same as making money smuggling booze, tobacco, weed, and arms, as well as running illegal online gambling sites.
Why doesn't either side stop the wars that were going on when they took power? How is that not a valid question? How is running guns into war zones to fight a proxy war in Syria not the same as Vietnam?
Tridents have selective yields. In other words, adjustable. Starting in 2001, the British ones were able to go from 0.3 ktons to 100 ktons yield. ). 0.3 ktons is much less than North Korea's nukes. There's no reason to believe the US doesn't have similar capability. If North Korea starts launching nukes, a Trident might be called for. End it immediately, totally, once and for all. Anything less invites escalation and other getting involved. Why do you think Japan wants to start building nukes? Destroying the enemy is the only form of self-defense that nukes are good for. Otherwise, they serve no purpose except to destabilize the situation, as North Korea is demonstrating.
Who said I was voting for Trump? I wouldn't vote for either of those disasters. Also, the idea of a nuclear strike on, say, North Korea is to obviate the need for boots on the ground.
Manning was diagnosed before al this. His CO knew about it and it wasn't an issue. It's no longer DADT - it's up to each commanding officer to handle it as they so choose. Of course you have a problem with that, because that doesn't fit your narrative. The diagnosis was made 16 years ago.
SRS isn't considered cosmetic surgery. However, the US certainly does provide cosmetic surgery to reduce the appearance of wounds, burns, etc.
If it impacts your coordination, that's your problem. For many people, it doesn't. Of course, it also helps that, unlike you, I can use either hand for most tasks.
As for kidney donations, I've already offered. Turns out the patient was too sick to survive the surgery at the time, and I'm now past the age of donation. Go donate a kidney, then we'll talk.
Also, while testosterone does make trans men grow a beard, it doesn't cause them hair loss. So much for "trashing my arguments." And what does ANY of this have to do with calling Manning by her legal name? If the military can do it, why can't you? Not man enough?
Come on up here and say it to my face and I'll have the cops on your ass in minutes. Here we have laws against hate speech. Not my fault that you're the only G8 country that has to catch up, same as in so many things.
And how exactly am I a bigot? I have not one time demonstrated any kind of intolerance.
Simple - you refuse to refer to someone by their legal name because of their birth sex. That's bigotry.
Go watch Transparent - it's a shit show that will reinforce all your prejudices.
The status quo is pretty much ending what made america great. A shock to the system, whether it's a trump presidency or a bunch of nukes taking out a few major cities or a few states seceding MIGHT change the course...
And yet, it's still higher in poorer communities. Racial segregation is alive and well today in the US. So is inequality of education and opportunity and poverty rates. That's a fact.
On April 20, Chicago reached 1,000 shooting victims for the year, six to nine weeks earlier than in the previous four years, according to data compiled by the Tribune. That grim milestone, for instance, wasn't reached until June 4 last year.
Perhaps even more troubling, this marks the third consecutive year in which Chicago has seen double-digit increases in shootings.
Not surprisingly, homicides are also soaring in Chicago. Through Sunday, 196 people have been killed, a 55 percent increase over the 126 victims a year earlier, official Police Department figures show.
The 2010 census reported a 17 percent drop in the city's black population over the previous decade. That number declined another an additional 4 percent through 2014, to 852,756.
Is it lead? No, because rates were going down, and now they're going up. No sudden increase in lead exposure to account for it.
Minorities are only over-represented in the largest cities. Remove those cities, and the rate of violence drops to levels that are more or less normal in the rest of the world. It's your culture, not the lead, because other, smaller cities also have had continuous exposure to lead. There were more than 10 lead smelters, brassowrks, and pipemakers in the whole USA.
I never said that there was any correlation between the two. What I DID say was that it's American culture that;s to blame. You don't see these levels of violence in other western civilizations.
What I was disputing is the claim that the industrial revolution caused the end of slavery, which would require not just the automation of cotton mills in England, but cotton picking in the US.
It's above my house. I;m making use of it. The court says if it's above my house and I'm making use of it, it's my airspace. I could have a balloon tethered there with an antenna, it would be my airspace.
Every country with electricity had decades of exposure to lead. Kettles, coffee-makers, percolators, etc. - all used lead solder.
Every other country had everyone exposed to lead piping for decades as well.
So why is it the US that has these problems, and nowhere else? American culture. Everything else, from exposure to lead paint to lead in gasoline was the same. Correlation is not causation, not when the correlation only works in the US.
There's a much stronger correlation with poverty. Quit blaming your problems on lead. As I said, lead doesn't cause employers to reject people with black-sounding names. That sort of racism is a stronger factor than lead. Especially since the people doing the shooting today are mostly not living with lead in the plumbing. Flint was for a couple of years, but the violence there pre-dated that, and the municipal and residential plumbing with lead pipes is not unique to Flint.
City and state governments are still advising people to run their cold water tap for 30 seconds before using the water for drinking or food preparation because of lead, and 2 to 3 minutes if it has not been used for a few hours (overnight when everyone is sleeping, or at work).
handling keys - ordinary brass keys like you'll find in your pocket or pocketbook to lock and unlock your house door - may expose you to the toxic chemical lead at levels that exceed Proposition 65 limits," Lockyer said. "Given this discovery of lead exposure, parents may want to rethink using their jangling keys as a convenient toy for their toddlers and small children.
In laboratory tests for the state, researchers looked at more than three dozen keys from 13 different makers. While the researchers found widely varying levels of lead on the hands of test subjects, the very lowest test results still exceed the Proposition 65 "No Significant Risk Level" of 0.5 micrograms per day when doubled on the assumption that people handle keys at least twice a day. While the highest testing results were 80 times the 0.5 micrograms per day limit, the average of all keys tested was about 19 times the "No Significant Risk Level." Both new and old keys tested were found to release lead at fairly similar rates.
Brass taps, fittings, etc., all leach lead. Everyone was exposed, many are still exposed.because they don't run the water for 30 seconds to 3 minutes. And yet, the problem of violence at levels like those in the USA isn't seen in other OECD countries that had/have the same lead exposure. Next you'll be claiming that Rome fell because of lead in the plumbing...
Are you unclear with the fact that people used to use email for the majority of their online communication? Just because we're doing things in an easy-to-DOS way now doesn't mean we have to.
Too bad that it's easy to disprove all of that. Almost every house built before 1980 has lead solder that is still leaching into the water. And of course, as I pointed out, everyone was exposed to lead in gasoline, which got into the air, the soil, and vegetables. No exceptions. How come we didn't see the same level of violence among everyone?
It's American culture that is to blame, not race per se. Economic disparity due to racism, not lead. Quit trying to get out of blaming white people for this shit situation, which has been amply proven to still exist today. Own your history. Lead does not cause employers to reject people with black-sounding names.
So you never ask anyone before taking on $70,000 of debt? You never buy a new car without asking friends or family what they think? You never ask for a second opinion at the doctors before they cut you up?
It was massive stupidity on the part of the students. Someone studying I.T. must certainly know what google is, at the very least. Searching these schools names brings up tons of complaints. These suckers were willfully blind. Still doesn't change the fact that the faculty is also culpable for fraud, not just the people running the schools. The faculty knew it was all BS, and the individual teachers should have their asses sued off.
I didn't move any goalposts. I stated a truth. EVERY SINGLE PERSON in America was exposed to lead. Not just in paint. And it wasn't just the plumbing in poorer communities either. Or lead-based solder in copper plumbing, which is in pretty much every home built before before the 1980s that hasn't ripped out their plumbing. That's much of the housing stock still around. And newer homes have a higher risk of radon, so the poor are less likely to be exposed to that.
You simply cannot blame the behavior on lead, because at the time when everyone was exposed to lead in pipes (and many still are), we didn't see the level of violence we see today. That's a cultural problem - an AMERICAN cultural problem, not a race problem.

Another fact is that, after a couple of decades of dropping, violence is increasing. More than 50 people were shot in Chicago in just one weekend this year..
On April 20, Chicago reached 1,000 shooting victims for the year, six to nine weeks earlier than in the previous four years, according to data compiled by the Tribune. That grim milestone, for instance, wasn't reached until June 4 last year.

Going up, up, up.
Blacks are fleeing Chicago because of the increased violence, so forget about blaming them either.
The 2010 census reported a 17 percent drop in the city's black population over the previous decade. That number declined another an additional 4 percent through 2014, to 852,756.
Is it lead? No, because rates were going down, and now they're going up. No sudden increase in lead exposure to account for it.
