I believe the problems a little different than you outlined it.
Progressives - and I don't like to use the term liberal because properly used liberal can describe someone who is also not a socialist shill monkey - are a different breed than conservatives. Conservatives instead of "arguing the substance" as you put it tend to like to keep to themselves and not give a rats ass what others think. Progressives on the other hand are out to change the world as they see fit.
The better way to describe it would be Protoss versus Zerg. The Protoss are proud and are happy to be strong and defend what is theirs, the Zerg need to go forth and take from others because they think the fact someone else has.
I've seen where progressives have coordinated efforts to misreport anything conservative as objectionable on social networks - true or not. An average conservative (no, I'm not talking about the fundamentalist) wouldn't report something if it did mildly violate stated policies because they don't like to appeal to authority in every aspect of life.
Calling conservatives who give more to charity than progressives and are far less likely to lie claiming they did when they didn't more selfish is off base. Calling those who are more likely to be religious and fearful of spiritual retribution on the whole - and are a much smaller segment of the prison population overall morally weak THEN calling the same group of people who are less into pop-culture on the whole which is all about committing to the moment and moving on where as the word conservative itself implies commitment is dishonest.
You sir are a fucktard.
Incase you're wondering - I'm a Libertarian, I do see "both" sides, and have defended progressives in areas where they need defending. Your argument is not based on rationality but is more or less cheer-leading for your team.
but don't mention anything to do with George Soros or middle eastern donations to the Clinton campaign you're playing partisan politics.
If you talk about Russia influencing the elections by releasing harmful Clinton emails but never mention the contents of those emails and what it means, you're playing partisan politics.
If you talk about everything above you're having a rational discussion, but having the typical towing the party line headline like this one you're just showing what side you're on.
It's obvious that they post a lot of "in power" propaganda and support pretty much anything that comes out of the White House's media matters. Are things going to switch when Trump gets in and disbands the current propaganda machine or harnesses it for his own use? Or is Slashdot going to follow the globalist machine outlet to wherever it goes after the official controller of the current propaganda mill moves on?
now if only they would open up a bit and let the old XBMC/Kodi app work again. There was a relatively nice one that only worked if you actually logged in with an account meaning there wasn't anything shady going on, but compatibility got broke and I don't see it coming back.
I agree with this guy and do the same. I find myself using Netflix more and watching the occasional something or another on Amazon.
The Netflix app on both the Wii and PS3 are far superior to the poorly written, text truncating, fixed resolution for 1080 only Amazon app for the PS3 and the similarly bad Wii app, though the Netflix app is functional on both.
Yes I'm poor and I still run a standard def CRT in the living room. I do have a 1080i CRT also, but it's not as big and doesn't get used in the living room.
I also only have one ISP in my area and the bandwidth is very unreliable at times. I find Netflix deals with my fluctuations in bandwidth a lot better than Amazon does.
Amazon for all of its flaws is still rather good and if it where the only movie streaming service you had - as long as you weren't an absolute junky - it would be fine. It's the only one I had had until I got married and my wife brought her Netflix account along, then again before I got married the only TV show I kept up with was South Park and that's before it got moved to Hulu only. Now I'm watching about a half dozen or so super hero shows.....
New Super Mario Brothers for the Wii was big on multiplayer both co-op or in my case usually one good player and a bunch of others flailing about. If you watch some of the in-game videos you can see great examples of co-op working out with Yoshi's passing a player around and some pretty amazing feats pulled off.
Then plug it in - will it charge? On some of my older HTC phones I would turn them off when I charged them when I had some place to be because it was significantly faster.
Then, sometime during all of this, install a non-standard ROM. I've used Cyanogen Mod and Fresh Evo in the past, I'm sure there's a non-Samsung ROM you could put on the thing. That way you have plenty of opportunity to have the thing explode on your own terms.
What are the chances it will be incompatible with existing roads?
What are the chances that after we build the roads for the Apple cars Apple will change the newest cars to require a road upgrade, and that upgrade will still work with the previous two year models, but will keep the old cars from working on the newest roads?
I have a special dislike for Clinton - she's a murderer, a liar, a thief and she covers for multiple sexual offenders. My feelings about Trump are very mixed - he doesn't fit with my vision overall but I like the promise of "swamp draining" I just don't like the idea of him replacing what gets weeded out with something else. Sometime you remove something and replace it with nothing and that's the best answer.
Facts are the foundation of a rational opinion. I am not a member of the "feelings" party, nor am I a member of the "bomb them all" party, the two of which the lines tend to blur between. It's obvious you and AC are part of the "for the feelz" groups.
TPP support is why I didn't vote for Gary Johnson despite voting for him four years ago. Anyone who supported the TPP obviously didn't care about keeping U.S. interest in mind. Handing control of your county off to an unaccountable third party is never smart.
I actually asked a similar one to this at one time in history and got roasted for it.
Back in the day you had to be really careful about what hardware you bought when you ran Linux - there were a lot of "Win-products" which didn't actually have their firmware on their chips permanently but had to load it from a Windows only driver. Those days are pretty much gone - Linux has improved to the point that it can load that stuff, the manufacturers have either pulled their heads far enough out of their asses to either stop doing that, or those shitty ones went out of business, and everyone in the industry wants into Apple's pants so they make their chips more Linux friendly by default because they're hoping they get to supply Apple.
Seriously - with the exception of maybe a weird model specific feature - of the kind that's a rarity these days - pretty much anything you buy with Windows on it is going to be a good Linux laptop. I'm sort of a fan of Lenovo hardware, and as long as you take their Chinese spyware injected version of Windows off you're probably fine. I'm also a big fan of Acer - they're cheap and they feel like they're built by Fischer Price, they take abuse and keep going. If you pick 100 random laptops from local retail stores 98 of them will probably be great with Linux, the other two are going to have oddities that just make it not worth it. I can't imagine what those issues would be, but it's probably from a bargain basement one I wouldn't want of a Sony anyways.
What I think is these little VW's pollute less than most any other diesel on the road and that over-regulation is keeping more reasonable and efficient vehicles off the road. I would rather see 20 of these VW's regardless of their firmware status than one Chevy Silverado Rollin' Coal. They rigged their computers because they being held to unrealistic expectations while some guy in an F350 dually who uses it to get groceries and show off doesn't have to worry about it.
I'm not pro pollution. I'm pro common sense. I know my gas powered Jetta can hit 40 MPG if I don't have the A/C on and the traffic isn't stop and go. I imagine the diesel gets better mileage. I'm against government ruining a good thing in favor of a bad one.
I firmly believe all video games from a couple of years ago forward (not meant for consoles) should be developed for Linux first. This makes the Mac port fairly easy and gets the game onto the Steambox.
Then they can worry about a Windows port.
Seems to work well for the games made with this mindset, and has for a couple of decades, especially with Unreal, Quake, Doom, etc... Engine games. In fact if you make a game with one of those engines and it isn't ported to multiple platforms it just makes the developer an asshole.
Besides, I've had to fix one too many Facebook games invoked issues on other peoples systems. I've blocked my family members from being able to send me game invites.

That reads like a who's who list of crap I wouldn't waste my money on if I saw it in the store.

Yeah, Hillary just gave weapons to ISIS and had them attack one of our ambassadors, nothing crazy like Trump.
Which apparently is currently funding Slashdot.

anymore than the U.S. populace in general did.
Hillary was on the war-path and they knew it. "No boots on the ground in Syria" my ass!

I fail to see where VW stole anything or did anything that wasn't a response to an arm-twist.
This is not a whoosh moment.

Excluded all of my computers already.

You really don't want Cheeto smear on a capacitive touch-screen like the Apple one either, especially if it dries like concrete.
If you throw the chicks underwear against the wall and they stick consider a different chick.....
I love it when Apple fanboys get their panties in a twist.
You've introduced the capacitive touch bar my wife's 10 year old HP Pavilion Media laptop has been rockin' forever!
(I really do to this day think that part of the laptop is really cool, except when I swipe to change the volume and it doesn't work the first time)
