    That's impossible. Immigration is the only cause of genetic diversity in humans.

    Right, but then the rich won't be able to blame everyone for supposedly being stupid.

    you probably have personal issues with rich people

    If you don't think, you have problems with rich people, you are either very rich or very stupid.

  6. Re:Coding is a skill, not a profession on The Case For the Blue Collar Coder · · Score: 1

    There is a difference between "coding" and "programming".

    No, there isn't. "Coders" and "analysts" existed as separate professions at some point, but they merged into a modern programmer approximately at the point when punchcards were replaced with terminals. Now everyone who writes code has to make design decisions, and everyone who makes design decisions has to write code implementing them. Anyone who does not do both parts, is a worthless charlatan.

  7. Re:Agreed on US Congress Rules Huawei a 'Security Threat' · · Score: 1

    Right, the real influence is from Social Conservatives who merely hide behind Libertarian slogans. However the only reason Social Conservatives aren't all hanging from the lightpoles is that they spout Libertarian slogans.

    I am sure, governments will have no problems with actually doing that.

    Regular users rely on large numbers of people reading each of those lines, what is much better than what happens with proprietary software.

    Die in a fire. If you are not writing your code in a way that does not produce compiler warnings, you are doing something seriously wrong.

    Oh no, they are valid. People should stop trying to perverse existing laws by their stupid "interpretations" and start rewriting them when they clearly don't work for the benefit of the society.

    Other government will eventually do the same to Microsoft, following the logic that US always accuses its enemies of everything it does.

    That does not mean, they should not be invalidated, and the practice banned.

    Lying in DMCA requests has no legal reprocussions.

    It's not perjury, however intentionally sending massive amounts of takedown requests with no human oversight is gross negligence and defamation.

    That's right. This guy is no better than the posers who only know C, and not the assembly commands it translates into.

    Congratulations, you are an idiot. You have just compared generalization and abstraction with layering of complete all-encompassing virtual environments on top of each other. Now go, kill yourself.

    When the USA descends into tyranny please act surprised, will you?

    USA is a tyranny, and always was -- except, of course, businesses are higher than the government in its hierarchy. This happens precisely because of people like you, and there is no hope to change it to anything else.

  18. Yes! on Ask Slashdot: Am I Too Old To Retrain? · · Score: 1

    I'm mainly a VB.NET person with skills from the .NET 2.0 era. Is that it? Do I give up a career in technology now?

    Yes! You should give up now. Actually you should have given up when you first tried to write a program. You know nothing about technology. You have nothing to do with technology. You have participated in a campaign that tried to replace actual development of technology with monkeying around in a small, fake environment built by one company to contain its own version of "technology", "progress" and "culture". Guess what? You know nothing outside of this environment, and the company that created it did not even bother keeping it consistent with your all-fake knowledge. You looked for an easy job, and you got your wish at the price of remaining ignorant about everything except a carefully built environment that contains damaged minds of people like yourself.

    You are an embodiment of everything that is destroying technology, and we, all engineers, all programmers, all scientists of the world, are happy to see you gone.

    Your "Founding Fathers" had no experience with any form of government except Monarchy. Their perspective is hopelessly outdated and limited, and it takes either an enormous idiot or intellectually dishonest person to treat their writings as anything but historical curiosities.

    I should have entered that as an animated gif for the /. anniversary logo contest.

    Goatse does not spin. However a giant, static picture of Orihime with a leek in her hand attached to the wheel would attract attention of everyone who had Internet connection in the recent five years. Of course, they will just look at it from Manhattan, and Brooklyn.

  24. Re:Change the relationship on What Should Start-Ups Do With the Brilliant Jerk? · · Score: 1

    The justification is that the 'jerk' in question was basically murdering the teams morale and enthusiasm.

    No. You are inventing things that not only aren't there, the author did not dare to claim that they were. You are in a full apologist mode.

    Some portion of management types were brainstorming ideas on how to improve things (ie, ideas for new services or products) and getting everyone involved and excited. Then the rockstar / genius / jerkass guy would crap on everything saying everything sucks. As brilliant and as respected as Employee X was, no one else really wanted to work with him.

    Even if management did that, they have to be ready for their "ideas" to be rejected by engineers because those ideas ignore reality of what is and what is not possible to do with available technology.

    Please do not confuse the Libertarian party of America with Libertarianism. They are more opposite than democrats and republicans are.

    The only difference is how much the Social Conservative core of their ideology is hidden behind flowery language.
