You are most likely right. I looked through some of the applications and very few of them actually give any reasons *why* they want to do that or look like people who would give up their Earth life for that.
Why do you deserve it more than your grandchildren, great grandchildren and so on.
Because I don't have them?:)
Seriously though, I do not believe that we will find the solution to this problem (this = energy crisis, climate crisis). Not because the technology is not there, but simply because we are greedy selfish assholes. Too much politics and when there is too much politics the end result is always that nothing gets done.
So, have fun, but don't leave any offsprings to clean your shit.
The market is always controlled by ruling elite, be it government, corporations or whatever.
But yeah, you can't take politics out of the market, because market *is* politics. Economics is just the tool for the ruling elite to push their agenda. Again, whatever that elite is.
Still, making tools for content producers (sometimes pretty exclusive tools) is a big business. This means that enough people want it to warrant that desktop computers are not going extinct any time soon.
I would not say that it belittles, it just emphasizes the wrong things. Being geek is not about reading comics and playing D&D, even if many geeks do like it.
The reason I don't feel belittled by that show is because *any* TV show is like that. ER and Dr. House has nothing to do with real doctors, CSI with real cops, American Idol with real musicians, Dancing with the Stars with neither dancers nor stars.
Those rights are already limited in a gazillion of different ways. You have weekends and after hours, when the exchanges are closed, you have policies against insider trading then there is stock manipulation and what not.
There is also a gazillion different ways you can lose your money with the current system. So, if you know beforehand that you can not sell it withing a week, all it comes down to is just risk. There is always a way to mitigate some of that risk, like insurance for example or not getting into this venture at all.
Initially, the point of investing is you lend somebody money, hoping that they will build a profitable and valuable business and you profit from that. People who do this directly, like angel investors, already facing these kinds of risks and they have a very limited opportunity to get their money back, if they change their mind, so this will hardly harm them.
Suppose you do that. Suppose that exhange becomes popular. How long before somebody opens another casino^W exchange that will be trading "futures" or other kinds of bullshit "derivatives" based on that exchange?
The behavior of The New York Post was far worse. People on 4chan have a reasonable expectation that no one will take them seriously. The New York Post is taken seriously by some people, so they should have been more responsible.
Well, after these events, the number of those people went down, so... there is no reason for them to be more responsible:)
Slashdot Mirror
You think there are no free countries with tougher gun laws?
Number of intentional homicides per 100k people:
US: 4.8
UK: 1.2

Which is also the reason for the outcry about gun control. Freedom my ass, only thing they care about is their corporate sponsors.
Why are you so worried if other people want to turn their guns in for a buy-back, my freedom loving friend?
I think you are far more likely to screw up this scheme than password hashing + salting.
The idea may be good, but more complicated and more complicated = more buggy = less secure.

More likely, be the first to die on a way to Mars.
And then we'll run out of oil and there will be no "firsts".
Slashdot ate the rest of my comment :(
What I wanted to say is that with UID < 50k you should be old enough to stop caring about shit like this gazillion years ago.
Dude, with UID
No, you weren't. Neither was I. You appear to just be a pedantic shit .
Don't know why I'm even replying to this, but just to give you an (obvious) idea how far I read through you post.
So that we can have truly Free mobile OS?
I wasn't the one trying to define any of those words.
Why do you deserve it more than your grandchildren, great grandchildren and so on.

OK. How do you define or find "minimum" then?
Pretty sure different people will define that differently, so no point in using that word at all.
Yep, it is pretty easy: making the ration the same as in TVs makes it possible for them to save money because of the scale.

So, cheer up, it is business as usual.
... they seemed more like socially maladjusted outcasts than nerds.
Not to defend that stupid show, but honestly, I know some people from my Uni who (in terms of social adjustment) are way worse than Sheldon.

Means tough luck. Investment is risky. Afraid of losing your money? Don't buy fucking stock. Period.
Suppose you do that. Suppose that exhange becomes popular. How long before somebody opens another casino^W exchange that will be trading "futures" or other kinds of bullshit "derivatives" based on that exchange?
In other news: investment is risky.
Yep, everywhere else you divide by the number of meters.
