Yes, let's totally ignore the corrupt nature of labor unions and the culture that leads them, even today, to destroy the very industries that spawned them. Not a word about it...well done! A++ would pay for this comment again. Because paid commenters really do inhabit sites like Slashdot.
Yes! Things will be so much better when the world equalizes. We will all have a standard of living that a Pakistani bricklayer recognizes as good. What a golden future we have to anticipate. Forward!
Funny how it's OK if you ridicule them online, but you're too chicken to do it to their face.
when in truth a sheetrock wall has more common sense than that person does.
I think you and the wall have something in common, but it's doubtful you'll ever see it. It's not surprising you're anti-intellectual. Educated people are frequently more informed than you and it gets under your skin, doesn't it? This is your way of getting back at them. Fuck you, and fuck your anti-intellectual friends. Go back to your friend Sarah Palin, retard.
There is a difference between 'satire' and 'outright lies'. Ridiculing people because they're not the same as you is despicable. Oh, but it's so important to have fun at the expense of others, because if everyone got it, then there would be no fun.
"all of these cultural rituals are a waste of time "
Get a clue, humans have culture. If you don't follow their cultural norms, no matter who they are, they're not going to accept you. It is already amazing how tolerant Westerners are in 2014, and apparently that's just not good enough. Just imagine showing up to some hipster gathering in a suit and tie and watch yourself be ostracized in the exact same way.
It never fails to amaze me how small minds cannot make the distinction between industrial hemp fiber and marijuana that is smoked for recreational purposes. They're two different things, but thanks for trotting out that old hoary video for the ten millionth time.
Scientific users are such a tiny proportion of Mac users as to be insignificant. They are dwarfed by the number of users who do indeed view Macs as a fashion accessory. Style over function is a big deal to these people.
You do know that you just invented that crap about a drone strike? And then used your fabrication to say "WE R IN POLIZZZ STAT! WHARRRRGARBL". What's scary is people like you really believe this.
Yes, but it is still useful to achieve positive outcomes. There are a lot of people in society with mistaken ideas and if science like this can be used to push their repugnant ideas out of the mainstream then all the better. We all need to support these scientists and not take such a narrow view.
Communism is powerful, powerful stuff. So powerful it managed to spread laziness, poverty, and hideously poor engineering in a country populated entirely by Germans.
Nope. Communists are committed to the overthrow of the U.S. government. America was right to defend itself against people who would have us answering to foreign masters, just like in Eastern Europe. Funny that you left that part out and instead attempted to connect it with family values instead.
oblivious to anything but their point of view, and to be rude little bitches with their fucking ignorance.
be a fucking cunt
brain instead of your ass
worthless twat
You sure are projecting your fears onto others. Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against unpleasant impulses by denying their existence in themselves, while attributing them to others. For example, a person who is rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude. I can't help but notice the sexist insults as well - what will your friends the feminists think about that? Please be consistent if you're going to be a bigot.
Yeah, I read it. At one level, it is indeed a what-if. However, you can argue these things forever since there's no right and wrong answers, all you ever do is look down on people who disagree with you. Been there, done that...it's one reason I prefer computers.
...and if the FDA approved things quickly, you'd say they were just trying to make more profits for the evil medical companies, after unproven remedies killed people. I don't see any way of viewing the situation positively, it's lose-lose.
Ugh, I always hated those stories in which the Axis powers invade America. They never had any plans to do so. Germany wanted a continental empire going East until the Ural mountains. Japan wanted a resource area for itself, and never really figured out where its final objective was (Australia? India? Hawaii?) before the disaster at Midway happened and all plans went on hold. Italy...Mare Nostrum. They just wanted to dominate the Mediterranean.
None of them had any plans involving the U.S. homeland. Hitler foresaw war with the Americans, but not until the 1980s. The Axis powers meeting at the Mississippi River had zero basis in any kind of historical events.
Yes, this sort of hatred is exactly why we need to switch to tyranny, right away. We'll put society's highest IQs in charge and they'll rule us, and have the power to do what the smart thing is. What could possibly go wrong?
There are three professions where being untruthful is the key to success: Lawyers, salespeople, and marketing. All three are hired to portray their client in the most favorable light possible, and the very best ones lie through their teeth. The worst of these three are the marketers because they have legions of psychologists and scientists trying to figure out the best way to lie to people.
There is a perception among open source advocates that if open source software saves you money, you now owe some of that money to them. If you don't pay, you get called a freeloader. This agrees with the "from each according to his abilities" part of Marx's famous saying.
Oh, gimme a freakin' break. Appendectomy, really? Polio victims are crippled and won't pass the qualifying rounds. Or did you just come up with ridiculous examples for some unclear end?
Just like car racing, we need different divisions for athletics. One for stock, unmodified humans like us. No drugs, etc. And the "top fuel" division for prosthetics, hormones, steroids, etc. My interest in several sports (bicycling, weightlifting) has already died because of rampant drug abuse. Heck, if you don't do drugs then you won't even qualify for televised events. It's sort of like F1 racing, it's not really a competition between humans, it's a competition between scientists.
Ever since the Olympics went professional, it's been boring. Of course, once these two divisions have been established, the athletes will still cheat in the stock division. Because there's money involved. Even the Korean Starcraft players cheat for the same reason.

Q: Why is starting a comment in the Subject: line incredibly irritating?
Being gay means you must be on the left. Ask any homosexual if you doubt.

People who run adblock aren't going to click on the ads anyway. I'm sure it makes them better to get all self-righteous about it, though.
Run defrag. Done. Even idiots knew to do this back in the XP days. Still doesn't answer the question.
