Oh look. A clueless fucktard heterosexual. HOW SURPRISING.
Did anyone force him to be gay? YES. It's a genetic predisposition.
Just look at that one who is doing all the name calling !!
With claims like "Genetic predisposition forces him (her?) to become homosexual", I expect nothing but crap from this type of "Political Correctness creatures"
What he did was wrong...but c'mon....everyone does stupid shit when they are in HS and college...and hell, even well into your 20's...especially men
Just because someone is so fragile, that they can't handle some embarrassment...and decides to off themselves, should in no way constitute a lengthy and harsh penalty for this young man
What he did, probably necessitates a fine,and some community services....I'm guessing he broke some sort of law for illegal video (I know that wasn't even against the law till not that long ago in the state of LA)...but that gay kids death is not on his hands at all
The number 1 (unwritten) law that the kid broke is the law of Political Correctness
Under the (yet-to-be-written-into-the-lawbooks) Political Correctness Code Of Conduct, you are forbid to do anything against the gay, the minority, the underprivileged, the poor, the handicapped, etc., etc... or we will fire your ass
Yep, it's fine, very big, and filled to the brim with honest people with spines like me whose dicks are big enough to admit they're part of the problem.
Dear Sir,
You have my respect, for being honest about the way that is
However imperfect the world we live in, at the very least we must be honest about where we are in the chain of events
There are too many fanbois with foam in the mouth, hopping on the bandwagons accusing the Asians for "stealing their jobs" and accusing the corporations of "exploiting the Asians"
And all the while they never look at themselves, the very root cause of why jobs are leaving Europe/America to Asia and elsewhere
I still remember that message, on Oct 1991, from a guy by the name of Linus Benedict Torvalds on comp.os.minix
"Do you pine for the nice days of minix-1.1, when men were men and wrote their own device drivers? Are you without a nice project and just dying to cut your teeth on a OS you can try to modify for your needs? Are you finding it frustrating when everything works on minix? No more all- nighters to get a nifty program working? Then this post might be just for you:-) "
While I thank you for your kind gesture of explaining to that name-calling AC, I do not think that fella has enough brain cell to grasp whatever that you were trying to say
Many decades ago I read that book "1984", I have to admit that I were scared shitless at the thought of the all-knowing big brothers controlling every single bit of my life.
But at that time, - decades ago, - even the worst government (East Germany, North Korea, China, Russia, to name just a few) just couldn't have the mean to know everything about every single citizen under their control
Oh yes, those bastard governments employed a lot of spooks and collected volumes of data, but determined citizens always found ways to defeat even the most draconian measure
No more
With the advent of computers and high speed network, not only they (the governments) get to collect all types of data, they can data-mine the data so much so that they can get to understand us more than we understand ourselves
We might not know where we might go, or what we might do, tomorrow, for example - by simply referencing our daily/weekly/monthly routines, our health data, our financial data, the people that we are in contact with, etc, - the government might be able to predict, with a certain degree of accuracy, what we might do, where we might go, a few days from now
This is scary !!
Way more scary than the scenario outlined in "1984"
I do not know why the above message is modded as Flamebait
What Vermont did is neo-luddism
Unless Vermont decides that it stops using any fossilized fuel, and will NOT import any of it, stopping fracking inside the state is simply a NIMBY move
This is one thing that simple does NOT make any sense
If the thing was recorded in 48KHz, it's at 48KHz, and no matter how one can "un-sampling" that shit and then re-recording it in 96KHz (even at 96MHz or 96GHz), it does not boost _anything_ !!
There are a lot of Indians in very high places in many global technology companies. No matter what passport they are carrying, all of them are VERY VERY LOYAL to their homeland, India.
The influential Indian diaspora might just be the key for India to push its _Gag-the-Net_ agenda across the proposed global meeting in Geneva.
In many cases, the ISPs include "best effort" in their fine-prints so when their customers complain of the ridiculous low bandwidth that they are getting - like your case of 0.1mbps - them ISPs will tell you that the package they sell you, the 3mbps speed, is meant to be "Best Effort"
It would not be feasible to invest on many things anymore.
I need to point out the above as a very seditious lie
A lot of inventions do not cost tons and tons and tons of $$$
In fact, MOST inventions, and I mean, genuine inventions do not cost billions of billions of research
The fact that things are costing that much isn't because it's about invention - most of the costs are related to SELF-PROTECTION, ie:
* Getting people to carry out a global search on the competitors, see that if your invention(s) infringe on their patents, or not
* Paying lawyers to figure out a way to NOT GET SUED, especially those frivolous lawsuits filed by the assholes who got nothing better to do than trying to extort money from others
* Making sure that your inventions are covered with layers upon layers of insurance - just in case some stupid fuckers use your new invention and hurt themselves
In other words, the megabucks that are often involved in the "inventions" are actually NOT within the invention loop.

Too bad that one of America's top companies outsources most of its production
Well ... there is one very simple way of stop companies from outsourcing anything - work in America while accepting Chinese wages
Are you willing to work in America while receiving wages equal to what the Chinese workers are receiving?
It's also pretty weird that for some reason or another colleges don't give their students privacy
WTF ???
Colleges are there to educate the students
Colleges are not there to offer privacy or any of those extra-ordinary protection
If you want total privacy, stop going to college
Stay at your own home and do everything you want, there !

The "I'm a victim" drama is getting very very tiresome
Did anyone force you to be a gay ?
Did anyone force you to engage in homosexual act?
If yes, then, please go to the police and file a rape report
If no, it's you, YOURSELF, that want to participate in that homosexual act, and own up to everything that you do
Stop using "prejudice" or whatever adjective to paint yourself as a victim, because you do not deserve to be one

I taught myself in the mean time
That was very much the mode in those days
I do not know about "those days" or "these days", but, as far as I know, I've been teaching myself all these while, since early 1980's
And it's still continuing
If the kids "these days" do not know anything about "teaching themselves" skills that they need, I can only say that I feel sad for them
While I thank you for your kind gesture of explaining to that name-calling AC, I do not think that fella has enough brain cell to grasp whatever that you were trying to say
But anyway, thanks again !
English today is so mixed up that who's to say which version of English _is_ the correct one?
In part due to Tata's good management
You are kidding, right?
"Good Management" and Tata are mutually exclusive
By snapping up Jaguar and Land Rover, TATA of India may have thought they've landed a good deal
Thing is, Jaguar and Land Rover are no longer the _in_ thing
By spending $2 Billion for a factory producing Jaguar and Land Rover in Changsu, Chery of China may think that they are smart
Thing is, only stupid people buy the Jaguar and Land Rovers
Dear Americans:
Please consider losing weight and reading a book or two, preferably about logic.
Why do you want to torture the Americans?

It's fortunate that visitors of /. have the ability to recognize a joke, no matter how heavy it is laced with jargon
If someone were to copy-pasta what you just written onto a dimwit site, someone may just probably put that stuff in their mouth ....
But anyway, thanks for the laugh !

Intel has been dragging its feet on releasing an 8-core i7 desktop CPU to the users.
It took merely 2 years to upgrade from uni-processor machine to a 4-core CPU, and then it stopped.
It has been 10 years and counting, and there is still no 8-core i7 desktop CPU.
There are a lot of Indians in very high places in many global technology companies. No matter what passport they are carrying, all of them are VERY VERY LOYAL to their homeland, India.

Especially the fine-prints
In many cases, the ISPs include "best effort" in their fine-prints so when their customers complain of the ridiculous low bandwidth that they are getting - like your case of 0.1mbps - them ISPs will tell you that the package they sell you, the 3mbps speed, is meant to be "Best Effort"
Whether you live in USA or Europe or Asia or Timbuktu, them fuckers will sue you if they think they can get $$$ from you
Look at how many patent-related lawsuits that are filed in Japan, Korea, Europe, Singapore, if you do not trust me
It would not be feasible to invest on many things anymore.

The $$$ are there to pay the legal racketeers
As the sole owner of 3 patents, I do not mind if all my patents expire tomorrow
At that time I filed my patent for self-protection - not for profiting from the patents
You see, the world we live today is so fucked up, that if you invent something really brand new and you do not patent it, you just _might_ get sued !
Well ... it could be you, if you become an intern, again :/
