Shakespeare is mono-cultural, reason enough for it to be discarded upon the ashcan of history along with all the other bullshit written by whites for whites. Let's let some air into our universities and have undergraduates read works by diverse authors instead of the same old crap.
Ah, yes. The ever-popular call for genocide. As long as it's against people with whose political opinions we disagree! Modded up on Slashdot. A sad day.
Sigh...a sound is a link to youtube. Why can't we just have a direct link to an MP3? Jeez louise. This is worse than people who make videos of...photos. That's what flickr is for!
$12 billion in economic activity is going to generate how much in additional carbon emissions every year? It will also enable additional capitalistic exploitation. It's a lose-lose situation.
The NSA was like that. Not any more. They're intercepting everything, international or no.
I always liked the NSA. They were the good guys as long as they were the ones giving us an advantage. Now they've followed the rest of the federal government into "we're just expanding our power because we can" mode. Sad, NSA did a lot of good back in the day.
He doesn't mean that the China censors torrents. He means that China censors at all. Try visiting facebook or twitter, or other websites where citizens can pick up dangerous opinions.
Well, you have to realize that the whole point of this exercise is to draw a line between "creative people" and "the other". We creative people are the good ones...those others...gosh, they're capable of violence. We good people are the correct ones, and it is not evil to look down on the humble folk. After all, what kind of creative would call himself fearful of people who can't create so much as a scrapbook unless they're following an example from youtube posted by...a creative.
Look, Vincent van Gogh is a role model emulated by creatives worldwide. The fact is, there are way too many non-creatives and they are screwing up the planet. Just imagine how much better the world would be if every member of the Tea Party suddenly disappeared overnight. Oh, we can dream....
Look, the fact is that Africa (and the entire globe) is overpopulated. Curing diseases just makes the problem worse. What we really need is a pan-global epidemic that reduces the human population from 7.5 billion to around 500 million. That number is sustainable. It would be great if said disease strikes at the developed world first, but we can't hope for it. We can only anticipate that MERS makes the jump from local infection to global plague during the Hajj. Otherwise we as a planet are screwed.
That's unchangeable scientific fact. An inconvenient truth, to be sure. Men's biological imperative is to spread his seed far and wide. A woman's is to carefully select the most suitable, highest quality male to father her children. Our society can't get rid of facts no matter how delighted feminists would be, sorry
Did we watch the same show? The creators are on record as stating that they made Tim a total idiot because they hated the dad from Leave it to Beaver and how he was confident, masculine, and solved problems.
Oh, come on...you must be a paid shill or something. Of course local channels carried on cable TV had ads, because they weren't cable-only channels. Way to deliberately lie and obfuscate the issue.
Huh? What book did you read this from? I was around then and there was very definitely a "subscribe to this new thing, CABLE TV! No static, fifty channels, and best of all since you're already paying for it, no commercials!" IIRC Ted Turner's TBS was the first to start broadcasting commercials, and I thought it was the dumbest idea ever. I'm already paying for cable, why is that jackass inserting ads?
Of course it sounds like that's disappeared down the memory hole and history is being rewritten. Rural CATV systems might be called "cable TV" but that isn't what we had in the suburbs in the 80s.
What the hell? Spoken like a ignorant stereotype of Americans. At what point, exactly did the US government EVER give fuck all about artistic, philosophical, and scientific endeavors? The only reason NASA was funded in the first place was the Space Race. Afterwards science was funded out of pure selfishness, in order to be #1.
As a US citizen, it is remarkably easy to travel around the world. I suggest trying. World travel is a great enlightened - you see exactly how fucked-up the rest of the world is. In addition lots and lots of Americans can't stand living anywhere but America. The food is all wrong, the climate is uncomfortable, the locals constantly scheme and cheat foreigners, I could go on and on. A quick trip to an expat bar should give you dozens of stories. For example, I got my ass kicked a couple of months ago because some guy didn't like Americans. "Fuck Boston" he said in English, less than 24 hours after Muslims blew up the Boston Marathon. By the way, as an expat the IRS will consider you a traitorous tax-dodger until proven otherwise.
According to my French friends (I've lived out of America for 10 years now BTW) the France of today is a shadow of what it once was. Unsafe, taxed to hell, even the French language itself is being eroded by a steady stream of Englishisms.
If you don't like America, I suggest getting the fuck out and stop complaining. I think you will very quickly find that you hate it. Most Americans do. If not, then welcome to the tiny community of Americans who live abroad and love it.
So how are men supposed to look up to capable, masculine role models? Tim "Tool Time" Taylor and his thousands of bumbling, idiot clones did massive cultural damage to men by teaching them the best thing they can do is nothing. Helping only harms or makes you look stupid.

What do you mean, "when"? This is a reality in Detroit and has been for quite some time.
Another misleading headline. Has nothing to do with Shakespeare. What other websites have the same tech content as Slashdot?
But Obama is deciding himself what's unconstitutional and what's not. THAT'S the problem here.
"Admittedly, when I hear the word 'server,' I think of a Web server"
Sad, eh? Because the WWW is the end-all, be-all of the entire internet. Ports 80 and 443 are all you need to know!

Are you sure we are actually saying this? Or are you just making shit up?

So now Africa will have 600,000 more people a year to feed, house, and clothe, and they can't even do that now. Yay?

Oh give me a f'ing break, we're not talking about broadcast channels being carried over cable, we're talking about cable stations. Jeez louise.
Because they're American soldiers and therefore evil. Where have you been since 9/11?

Criticizing Obama is racist, period. Didn't we, as a culture, learn this in the 2008 and 2012 elections? Did you not tune in to the news?
Your racism is showing.
