And yet if prisoners were denied opportunities to work, you and your kind would be up front and center decrying the waste of manpower in prison, as well as the lack of job retraining skills for otherwise idle hands. Isn't this why we have call centers in prisons nowadays instead of chain gangs breaking rocks into gravel?
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 16.
(1) Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution.
(2) Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses.
(3) The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State.
So, Mr. Fascist, which other parts of the UNDHR would you like to repeal? The right to peaceful assembly? The right to rest and leisure? Equal treatment before the law without regard to race or class? Perhaps you'd like to get rid of freedom of thought, conscience, and religion? It's a monstrous path you tread, and the fact that you're +5 insightful instead of -1 Fascist Thug is chilling.
When you talk like that, it comes of as incredibly pretentious. I mean, people who actually pioneer the fields of human knowledge usually don't need to shout it from the hilltops.
PS please put your "-Todd" signature in your.sig file in your profile. That way, it can be filtered out by those of us who don't wish to view irrelevant information. I'm sure Marr would approve.
You know, two people or groups can arrive at the same conclusion, because it was obvious in the first place. And why is it so appropriate? What if the work had been done elsewhere, would that be inappropriate or offensive?
I can't help but notice that a Wikipedian is lecturing an expert in the field in an insulting tone. Reading something from the internet is far, far different from knowing firsthand. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. The insinuation that the expert is an idiot is very troubling, and the nasty, mocking manner of speech is even worse.
Wow. Despite Yandex web spider consuming gigabytes of my bandwidth every month despite explicitly excluding them in robots.txt, your post is the first time I've ever seen them referenced.
My guess: international sales are a fief of various barons and counts of Apple corp. No interest in upgrading because it wouldn't serve the interest of whoever's in charge.
As an aside, wtf is up with the bizarre tone of the article? "What has Apple got against eastern Europe?" "Cold warriors"? WTF? Seems a rather strange take on disorganization inside a mega-corporation. Or is this all a giant case of projection, where journalists attribute their own undesirable feelings onto others?
Please stop spouting such nonsense. I know hundreds of people who eat nothing but "healthy" foods all year long, for every meal. We're talking green vegetables, fresh fruit, rice, and a wee bit of meat. They are 35 but look like 55 and they tend to die early. Why do they age so fast? Hard, physical labor. Go ahead and say it's good to get exercise, then do a mortality check of the villages where they live. Donut shops donut exist there.
This is fine until you get a key that isn't shaped like an ordinary Hillman key, like one of those four-sided jobbies or a tubular key for a bike lock. Or a really long car ignition key.
Like I said, China is a blank slate on which to project what you're really thinking. If you think of racism all the time, then that's how you are going to interpret China. In Eastern cultures, bowing is a sign of either respect (between a student and a teacher) or submission (between an inferior and a superior - which, when you think about it, is exactly what a teacher-student relationship is). Bowing is NOT a local custom, it positively feudal in modern Chinese society. It's one of the things that Mao eradicated when he made all Chinese people equal. Rest assured that the Chinese knew exactly what was intended by the bow. It is utterly humiliating. If I greeted my Chinese business EQUALS with a bow instead of a handshake, they'd be quizzical at first and then openly contemptuous because I was kowtowing. Would you negotiate as an equal with someone who bowed to you?
If you want to get all racist about it, think of what it means to Chinese for a black man to bow to their leader. Would Obama bow to a white man?
Why would they want to rebel against the Party? Since Deng Xiaoping hijacked the people's revolution onto the capitalist road back in 1982, things have only gotten better in the PRC. Every year for the past thirty years has been better than the last. They got the Olympics and now the World Expo, and hell even the President of the United States bows his head in acknowledgement of China's superiority. Obviously the Party is doing something right.
Video of cengwang ka in action here. Someone whose mandarin is better than mine will have to provide a translation. "Mee-ma" means password. Heck, I might get one just to use it in airports and other places where jerks charge for internet. Evidently they are illegal as taobao.com (the Chinese ebay) doesn't list them while a simple google search turns up dozens of vendors. I'll have to check on these next time I go to the computer market.
Another notable aspect of this story is that it's actually accurate. China is a blank slate to most Westerners and I have seen journalists fabricate the most outrageous lies simply because it "fits the narrative" (narrative=preconceived ideas). No surprise the guy who wrote this was in Beijing, it's like the world ends for journalists outside the fifth ring road.
If I had to guess, there was a law enforcement bulletin for someone who either looked like you or who shared the same name as you. The criminal record questions give it away.
Never underestimate the stupidity of ordinary slashdot commenters. The "red queen jumping around" part was an incredibly obvious reference to the game of three card monte, a well-known scam that only suckers or Marxists would fall for.
Actually, we would call those "eastern cultures". Only America, with its history of expansion and "go West, young man" thinks of life as growing the pie. The culture I've lived in for the past seven years does not have that idea at all - overcrowding within a confined space has a bad effect on a culture, making the zero-sum game the only way to live life. "If you win, then necessarily I must lose." This sort of thinking is pervasive and destructive. People will screw you over for no reason, none, other than they feel that there is no such thing as a win-win situation.
Please draw a moral distinction between: the side who goes to great pains to avoid casualties, versus the side whose stated goals are the massacre of innocents. Analyze the goals of each side and tell us why intentionally killing innocents helps or hinders each side. Bonus points for including the phrase "Bu$hitler".
Why does every offensive action not have a JAG assigned to levy penalties upon criminal personnel? Where is the UN to prosecute them for war crimes? Seriously, WTF? The prisons of The Hague should be full of American soldiers who made even so much as a tiny mistake. Why is this not happening? When Bu$hitler was in charge, maybe we could understand this deliberate genocide, but now that Obama is in office, is he also an accessory to genocide? What is happening to us good people?????
This is pretty typical for a confidence man or a salesman - he doesn't ask "do you want my product or not" but rather, "do you want the green one, or the blue one?" The trick is accepting the false premise in the first place. As soon as you try to follow the red queen as it jumps around from left, right, and center, the con man has you.
I live overseas so I'm out of the loop on this whole thing. I was shocked to see my mom's Comcast bill the last time I was home - $149 + taxes and fees. Every month! Sure, she gets a lot of channels and internet, but still.
As an aside, as someone who "doesn't watch TV" (and yet I don't shout it from the rooftops every chance I get) I always look forward to coming back to America, cracking open a beer, settling into an easy chair, and getting reacquainted with an old friend called "Television". I have about 24-48 hours of bliss before the shows start to repeat. After that, I just get kind of disgusted with the whole thing. I get even more disgusted with myself for turning on the TV even though I well know that there's nothing on. I suppose if I got into it I could use the DVR to record the shows I want, but without flipping the channels how will you discover more shows? There's also the fact that these Discovery channel type shows tend to use the same formula over and over again. I'm not even mentioning the gigantic noise machine that is advertising. Anyhow, I look forward to watching TV and I look forward even more to getting on the plane to return abroad and leave all the pandemonium behind.

Rand? What the F are you talking about? I'm no Randroid. You're projecting, bigtime.

It's a sad day when an anti-Semitic slur can be modded up to +5 on Slashdot. A sad day, indeed.
Dr. Who fans will love it. Just tell them it's a sonic screwdriver and they'll line up around the block.

That's all Kathleen Blanco did after Katrina and it worked out pretty well for her - all the blame landed squarely on the President.

OK, which distro comes with open relays configured out of the box? I'm curious to know.
