  1. And if there was some objective standard of "best" that would be great. But there isn't.

  2. So basically leave white males with the big head start that society gives them.

  3. Do you have evidence that hiring based on skills would tend to overwhelmingly hire white males?

    Yeah all he did was pull us out of a massive recession, get universal health insurance, get the yearly deficit going down, got us focused on fighting global warming... too bad he didn't accomplish anything.

    Don't insert reality, people don't like it.

  8. He (or his company) has done amazing things, but he has always been overly optimistic about when it would happen. If he says 2023, you can be certain it won't happen till the late 2020's (at best).

  9. So if I launch a model rocket from my backyard, it's the heaviest current launch, right? I can claim that title?

  10. Wow, I had no idea that customs didn't exist in other countries. It's weird, I could swear I had suspicious guys checking me out when I entered other countries. My bad, USA evil, got it.

    Suggestion: if you don't like the way a game works, don't play it.

  13. What about my right to bear nuclear weapons? Isn't the government suppressing my rights by not selling me nukes?

    "up to" 6. 6 is the max, not the guarantee.

    Except you have to go to the theater at the limited set of times that MoviePass makes available. It sounds like you are going to be seeing a lot of Saturday matinees. From the limited selection. Thanks, I'll take Netflix.

  16. Re:I'm launching pimpPass on MoviePass Is Limiting Selection To 'Up To Six Films' a Day (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It's not "you can watch 6 movies in a day" it's "there are up to 6 movies you can choose from". You can only watch 3 movies a month. And the movies selection sounds like it might be even more limited, e.g. theaters will use it to fill up showings that would otherwise be empty.

    In other words, you might as well just buy a ticket at the box office.

    Don't inject facts and logic, they don't like that on Slashdot.

  19. So you guys are all ready for your taxes to go up significantly to rewrite all of the antiquated systems of all the government agencies that you deal with, right?

  20. Yep, ignorance was good enough for pappy and grandpappy, it's good enough for junior too!

    Seriously, how many kids are going to get an education with home schooling? Other than learning that God created the world in 7 days and only likes white people?

  21. How about will a kid benefit from playing Farmville, or from actually getting their hands dirty? Will a kid benefit from clicking on "make some pottery" or from actually throwing a pot on the wheel? Those are the real comparisons.

  22. The check from Mexico hasn't cleared yet

  23. You sound like the people who think vaccines are worthless because no one gets polio or the measles. Guess why that happens.

  24. DID YOU KNOW:

    That the Constitution holds more authority than the president?

    At the moment.

  25. Re:Switch fields entirely on Ask Slashdot: Should I Ditch PHP? · · Score: 1

    The problem is that languages like PHP, JavaScript or C++, that allow you to do practically anything anyway are a very, very, veeeeeery bad choice for beginners

    Are you seriously classifying C++ with Javascript????
