We just recently voted in a new law that allows middle management at social security insurances like welfare, medical and invalid pension to have people receiving money put under surveillance by a private investigater. No judge necessary.
And this all for small and unrealistic hope that the services will become a few bucks cheaper.
No, no, no... we're not about privacy... we just do it because that's how it's always been done. Nothing more to it.
You sure haven't understood the scientific method if you think evolution disproves creationism or that if one part of a book is false, everything else must be false also.
Can't even say I disagree with you. The only tragedy here is that you have perfected this attitude both towards to outside and inside... or do you really have the feeling that you are still one united nation under the same flag?
We could produce enough power by plopping down a few nukes. Modern designs that can reuse some of the "spent" fuel we already have lying about.
That would give us the time to perfect all those technologies that are not there yet and incrementally supplant the nukes as time goes by.
What we are doing now is hoping for the lottery jackpot to happen while not wanting to sell auntie Mabel's villa on the hill because it has sentimental value.
But that is a good thing, isn't it? Either those types of jobs are needed so it behooves employers to pay accordingly or they are not and it makes little sense to waste a human mind to it.
I mean when you sell SLAs you know you will only keep if nothing bad happens... Sure, it's a business decision but I find that dishonest already. It's so rare to receive good and honest service. Most of the time you get fleeced in some manner.
Is it really that important in which foreign language the thing is described? At least the English language isn't dead, no matter how much it gets tortured by each new generation;).
"Bad ideas" are like fungus in your walls... you can spray it, paint over it, dry it but if you want to get rid of it, you need to fix the leak in your wall.
Yeah, hussah for 2020 where you poor sons of bitches get to decided between "positive racist/sexist" corporate bought politicians and corporate bought Republicans, whom any sane person cannot stomach any better.
Because MacOS is a pain in the ass. It's that simple.
Look, if it works for you then great. It doesn't for me. And it doesn't for a lot of other people as well. For some it doesn't work, because they are too stupid and for others it doesn't work because IT is too stupid.
Fact is there is no good OS on the market. They just all suck for different reasons.
Well, invoking Godwin's law is only legitimate if the mentioning of Nazi Germany isn't connected to the topic.
And it IS quite possible that without US intervention, the Soviets would have caved to the Nazi onslaught. After all, Stalin DID send unarmed men to defend Stalingrad, did he not?
So yeah, America did have its uses. YOU need to accept that. You're probably right, tthough, that this has little influence on our current debate.

That's rich! (pun intended)

You should consider chilling a bit.
(anecdotal evidence ahead)
My experience is that the IQ bell curve in cats must look very interesting.
There are some crazy intelligent cats out there but a lot of them are dumb as dirt.
Wasn't this more or less the plot to Terminator: Genisys?

One does get the impression that people are trying very hard to get us riled up but are running out of ideas to manage it.

Works quite well for me.
But that is a good thing, isn't it? Either those types of jobs are needed so it behooves employers to pay accordingly or they are not and it makes little sense to waste a human mind to it.
But there seems to be no interest involved here.
If someone's success depends on your success, chances are they're going to help you actually succeed.
Let's see how this works out.
My question honestly is if Slashdot thinks we're that dumb or whether they just don't have the capacity for anything better.
A lot of that is very true.
I mean when you sell SLAs you know you will only keep if nothing bad happens... Sure, it's a business decision but I find that dishonest already. It's so rare to receive good and honest service. Most of the time you get fleeced in some manner.
I do these things enough without being self-employed, thank you very much.
Also I hate dealing with customers...

That last bit is hard though.

Not that Oracle has a lot of experience with "useful things" :D.

The funny thing about this is that nobody responsible for this will actually suffer any real consequences.
In civilized countries, we have medical insurance and welfare for people too sick to work.
It would be those institutions that would go after Mondanto for medical bills.
...except why?
Few people have a TV that is really good for gaming in the first place and you can use Xbox controllers on a PC.
What is this good for?
As for streaming content, how about allowing a Plex and Kodi app to run directly on the xbox?
Perhaps I'm missing something but this seems to solving an issue I have trouble imagining many people to actually have.

I have no idea what makes you think I'm a US citizen.
Oh you Europeans are just jealous of how well people respond when the US commands.
Believe you me, the Swiss are getting as tired of the EU as you are of the US.
