Freedom in America is largely defined by Economic Freedom. Without the ability to obtain a disposable income, Millennials are unable to live their life on their terms. They are effectively Wage Slaves, shackled to and controlled by Debt and most of them will prove powerless to overcome that slavery. We will see the middle class die within the next decade, and with it, the rise of chronic underemployment, and the end of the nuclear family as multi-family and multi-generational households will become the new norm
You have absolutely no fucking idea what you are talking about. Director was an amazing Authoring Tool for Interactive Content well before the Days of Flash and Java Applets. In fact, Director was out a few years before the Mosaic Web Browser was created. The World Wide Web as we know it didn't even exist back then, aside from a hand full of sites that existed mainly out of novelty. Director was the IDE and SDK of choice for CD-ROM based Interactive Media, which back in it's day in the early to mid 90's was the main source of Personal Entertainment on PCs before Web Sites, Modern Social Media and Streaming and most certainly inspired an entire generation of Content Developers and Programmers
I like the weekly release of shows like Game of Thrones and West World -- you get to talk to other viewers about the Show as it progresses rather than just in past tense. Binge Watching is nice if you want to get a Show or Season done and over right away. But I find that with quality Shows, I'll take the time to batch them out on my own to draw the viewing experience out longer
Why would they want to hire some kids who wrote a basic keylogger that was likely easily detectable? No real skills to that. Just some kid writing a piece of malicious code for a small profit, should've stuck to mowing lawns or flipping burgers
Now he'll spend the next 10 years tossing salads
Just another case of Gov't providing Corporate Protectionism at the expense of the People
Anyone that still thinks that "People" are the Citizens Gov't serves are either delusional or hopelessly naive
The real Citizens of the US are the Corporate Personhood and the Wealthy Elite
Seriously, end the tyrrany and oppression of having XCode bundled with OSX. I want to stop buying Apple Products all together because the new Macbook Pro is a piece of shit and I'm not sure their fucked up AirBuds will fit my ears - but need to still have the ability to create iOS Apps without having to use VNC
Frankly, Apple is fucked -- Tim Cook was a good lackey for Jobs, but has not sense of purpose or direction
The smart move would have been for him to find a younger, brilliant, "jobs-like" replacement that he could have mentored
Instead, Cook tried to be Jobs and has in a few short years lost momentum and marketability across all of Apple's products
Within a few more years, Apple will be back to downsizing and begging for money to live
So, you fork over good money for Prime, only to have to fork over even more for their "channels" like this? Fuck Amazon and fuck Prime. They should either include this for free with Prime or just have everything sold piecemeal like they do with subscriptions on iTunes and iTunes doesn't cost $100/yr. As far as price/value goes, Netflix has Amazon Prime beat and they have plenty of Anime. In fact, Netflix has been putting out their own Anime for a while now, some of it like the Seven Deadly Sins is actually quite good
Oh -- I'm sorry perhaps you missed the bevy of links including ones from NASA and the USGS I posted.
Nice ad-homonym, BTW. I see your grasp of logic is as rock solid as your reading comprehension
For those that somehow think that Mankind has nothing to do with Climate Change -- it is a documented Fact that the amount of Greenhouse Gases produced by Mankind far outweigh the Pollutants naturally produced by the Earth
2.4 MILLION pounds of Co2 are released by us every second -- that's 207.36 BILLION pounds of CO2 every day.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/ca...
That amount DWARFS the amount of CO2 the Earth produces naturally -- in fact the Earth now produces less than 1% of the CO2 in the atmosphere
https://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/volcan...
Additionally, An estimated 14 billion pounds of trash-most of it plastic -- is dumped in the world’s oceans every year.
http://seastewards.org/project...
So not only has MANKIND completely contaminated and inundated our atmosphere with Green House Gases, we have contaminated and polluted our Oceans to such an extent that it's effecting the Global Ocean Currents and killing off aquatic life
Your willful ignorance and refusal to accept anything not stated by FOX News as fact changes nothing, but only assures that your children and their children will suffer and possibly die due to exposure or extreme weather related event because of your ignorance and hatred for Science
Furthermore, carrying on arguing that Mankind is not the cause of the Climate Change is so completely deluded, you might as well spend your time smearing the walls of your house with your own feces while claiming ignorance of the cause of the foul odor and swarms of flies all around you -- because that's exactly how crazy you sound
I know that people posting "I'm done here" is usually a sign over short term anger -- but I am feeling utterly compelled to abandon this site. After the years of general decline and now these actions by Dice Network I really don't see any other option.
Seeing the abuse of SourceForge by Dice was cause for concern
Seeing that they were actively denying the acceptance of stories reporting this was distasteful
Seeing the earlier Slashdot "story" that essentially put words in the complaining code maintainers mouth while downplaying everything was alarming
Being fed this one sided propaganda piece by Dice/Sourceforge/Slashdot is simply taking things too far.
Fact of the matter is people put their trust into SourceForge to host their code repos -- SourceForge decided to no longer act as a trusted partner and started hijacking popular software to repackage it with adware for their own profit -- profits not share with the creators or maintainers of the software nor done with their consent.
Such behavior is exploitative to those who have labored to create those OSS Projects and SourceForge's actions not only damage their relationship with the Developers of those projects, but is an affront to the entire OSS Community world wide.
Due to the actions of Sourceforge and The Dice Network's use of Slashdot as a propaganda tool to first quash all discussion of their actions then disseminating these ridiculously slanted "stories", has caused Slashdot to lose all credibility. I now see Slashdot as a news source to be on the level I view FOX News and will for now on hold them in the same regard
Seems it's time that the Cable Provider Lobbyists command Congress to enact the Affordable Cable TV Act which will require all US Citizens to purchase a Cable TV+Internet+Phone Bundle from the newly created National Cable Marketplace or face a Tax Penalty.
Perhaps the RIAA and MPAA can follow suit with mandatory Music and Movie Purchase Quotas through Apple, Amazon and Walmart
Or perhaps they are looking at ways to shore up their offerings against Youtube and other streaming services who have free-tier offerings.
If they can offer a free streaming with ad rolls, they can increase their viewer base and offer ads to sell their standard subscription based streaming service.
From the summary Tron:Legacy grossed $400 million from $170 million - that's a success even by Hollywood "hide the profits to avoid royalty payments" maths.
Walking away from a franchise where the last installment gave a greater than 100% return isn't sound fiscal sense, it's a straight-up chickenshit cop-out.
This is why the Music and Movie industries need to die -- no risk takers too many assholes looking for a "sure thing" and will rehash the "sure things" right into the fucking ground till they have nothing left.
Oh don't worry your point little head Mr. Teabagger. This will be happening in some Commie country like Sweden or France, not in God fearing Jorb Creator Worshipping Jeebusland! Booyah!
oh -- but we'll bring 3D printers, we'll just 3D print everything!
3D printing is the say of the future! They are like Star Trek replicators, except they are here, today!
Look! I just 3D printed a shrine to my 3D printer!
I applaud Congress recognizing that their position and duties are outdated and no longer necessary. This vote passage is an important first step in dissolving Congress and having Corporations rule the World through Treaties that trump all Constitutions of the signatories. It only makes sense that we continue efforts to restrict our Government to 2 Branches -- the Executive which will sign these treaties and wage wars upon citizens at home and abroad and the Judicial to oversee the criminal convictions of Citizens for breaches of these treaties.

All of it.
QFT. Came here to make this exact same post
Because everyone is a suspect
Seems it's time that the Cable Provider Lobbyists command Congress to enact the Affordable Cable TV Act which will require all US Citizens to purchase a Cable TV+Internet+Phone Bundle from the newly created National Cable Marketplace or face a Tax Penalty.
Perhaps the RIAA and MPAA can follow suit with mandatory Music and Movie Purchase Quotas through Apple, Amazon and Walmart
Because they bought a Patent and had better Lawyers than Typo
Or perhaps they are looking at ways to shore up their offerings against Youtube and other streaming services who have free-tier offerings. If they can offer a free streaming with ad rolls, they can increase their viewer base and offer ads to sell their standard subscription based streaming service.
it's not so important that Tron 2 bombed

No. No, you can not. What sort of person are you to even consider something like that, much less ask such a thing out loud?
I don't think you should be here...
Oh don't worry your point little head Mr. Teabagger. This will be happening in some Commie country like Sweden or France, not in God fearing Jorb Creator Worshipping Jeebusland! Booyah!
Fault was with Sergey. Sergey was replaced with Alexey at 14:00 hours.
