The only reason it's here is everyone knows the name "McAfee" from the antivirus software. The man McAfee long ago dissolved any ties with tech and moved abroad to evade taxes and be an asshole who owns lots of dogs and lets them bark at all hours of the day. He ran into an equally assholish neighbor who, after taking enough, poisoned his dogs. McAfee responded with murder. Slashdot editor thinks it's somehow related to technology so posts it here.
So, Amazon is refusing to invest in robots to do this repetitive work? Instead, they employ humans to perform mind-numbing running all over the place to fetch products and fill shipping boxes. Don't you think a company of Amazon's size should spend some of those billions on some modern industrial robots so that the humans can get a rest?
Well...touche. They didn't know why people died. How can you connect that to cancer? 20/20 hindsight...it's easy to fall victim to. "Why didn't those people do what we would have done, when we have all this knowledge they didn't have?"
Ah, another constitution-worshipping right-winger. Doesn't it suck that Obama won? You're just taking out your rage, you people just make shit up all the time.
Yes, let's blame them for not knowing asbestos caused cancer, as nobody had been around asbestos long enough to get cancer from it yet. THOSE MORONS!! You have a bad case of 20/20 hindsight. It's frightening to think that people think like you.
âoeSocialism needs to pull down wealth; liberalism seeks to raise up poverty. Socialism would destroy private interests, Liberalism would preserve [them]... by reconciling them with public right. Socialism would kill enterprise; Liberalism would rescue enterprise from the trammels of privilege and preference. Socialism assails the preeminence of the individual; Liberalism seeks... to build up a minimum standard for the mass. Socialism exalts the rule; Liberalism exalts the man. Socialism attacks capitalism; Liberalism attacks monopoly.â
Huh, I was thinking about putting it on the crappy Windows 2003 Server server that was just dumped on me. What else should I use for management of ordinary tasks over the web? No budget, of course.
And that is going to through a lot of people who aren't creative types, especially businesses. Most people get into their routine and don't want change.
Gosh, you mean businesses want STUFF TO WORK and don't give a rat's ass what it looks like? That they couldn't care less about hoity-toity designers and their ideas of how the users are doing it all wrong? Yeah, those uncreatives, scum of the earth I tell you. What with keeping the electricity running and giving all of us jobs.
How would an anthropologist feel if I took 3 years off work, hung around with them, and then wrote a book stating that I learned their culture inside-out? Without doing any anthropology or even studying it?
Pretty typical for the insulated academic type. Let's see:
moved to San Francisco - because, you know, it's fashionable, darling
joined EFF - EFF are the good guys and I won't bash them. But honestly, this just shows her "straight ahead through the front door" orientation.
started making the scene - as if there was some sort of central control for hacker culture.
went to the Bay Area Linux User Group - because linux is everything, no real "hacker" would use those ugly commercial systems, eww not free
marched with geeks demanding the release of Adobe eBooks hacker Dmitry Sklyarov - solidarity, comrades! Forward!
Well, I suppose that comes naturally when you're an academic. Her unspoken assumptions are, to her, entirely correct and there could be no other way of looking at the situation. I mean, hackers, right? San Francisco. Obviously! Wouldn't want to hang out in dingy apartments in Omsk or Urumuqi and eat instant noodles with a bunch of people who don't speak English and who don't bathe regularly. Learned the culture inside-out. She has a Ph.D...I just don't see how she could possibly be mistaken in any way. And then the write-up to receive the ultimate in "geek" credibility - Wired magazine! Ooh, shivers of excitement.
The argument is, "you have something I don't have, therefore instead of working to raise myself I will take yours away." Pretty common. Go check out the racial studies department of any American university.
"failure to yield" is a catchall phrase. It has nothing to do with selfish drivers who want to get somewhere faster. It has everything to do with a technical violation of the law. Most accidents are caused by people not noticing something, or just plain making a mistake.
11. Video content that is purely snippets of text fading in and out with various video editor techniques. I can't count how many videos I've clicked on only to find plain text content. There is something about people these days that makes them want to put everything in a video otherwise "it doesn't feel real".
However, Google does indeed make it available for others to see. Without Google, there would be no way for the man to be libeled. That's a colonialist point of view you have there. Maybe, just maybe, others might think differently from us, and realize that society is in a new era where old mindsets don't apply. There is no 'right' and 'wrong', just different points of view, all of them equally correct.
Because all the speed improvements were used by developers not to give the user a better experience, but to develop ever-more-complex pages. "Look, this new browser is 50% faster. Now, we can make a super-complex web page and still get the old speed!" Repeat for every speed increase.
Yeah, it was pretty much that. When a hurricane hits the Gulf Coast, it's look at all the stupid people who live on the coast and who aren't smart enough to live in real parts of the country where that shit doesn't happen. When a tornado devastates a small town, it's all sniggers as those morons had it coming. When a small hurricane hits New York City, suddenly it's serious business and nothing to laugh at. It's the sort of thing you don't notice, like how white people never notice they're racist.

Keep the hatred going strong, my friend. After all, they totally deserve it.
So, they voted the "wrong" way and now we get to take revenge on them? How does that work?
Don't worry though - any overly bright kid with Future Farmers of America, 4-H Club, or ROTC on his college admission will be refused entry to the Ivy League. Like you say, it's important to punish these people for living in rural areas.

Yes, lots of people protested NASA's risky space launch of a nuclear reactor but failed to stop the launch. The cops treated them just like they treated OWS. Sigh.

Einstein was a European. Feynman was a misogynist and womanizer. Neither of them should be idolized by Canadians, because they're not yours.

I suggest reading about the people on these lists. This world is a better place every time one of the names is removed from the list.
