I generally believe in sharing all sorts of information. The recommendations are still generally lousy. I also am pretty open about pirating. mainly books. Haven't been arrested, or accosted yet. So where is all this control you privacy believers keep clamoring about?
Shareaza will return torrent files on people's hard drives. I think they will also find files that are on people's hard drives that happen to match the torrent using the other protocols they support, but I am less certain of that, but it wouldn't be that hard to do.
Climate change is creating new challenges in our ability to raise crops and livestock. Certain conditions are making areas harder to do agriculture in and there are others in which it may be becoming easier. Our understanding of the world around us is growing and while there are some missteps, we are gaining in technology to overcome those challenges. Some of us argue that the only way forward is to go back in certain areas.
I have yet to hear that the entirety of our oceans are lifeless, merely that there are dead zones. We can study and reverse the situation. More importantly though is that aquaculture is a thing.
I want us to take control of our reality and ourselves. Some people just want to be wild, though.
Forget Trump. Well not exactly. He't not really that much better or worse than any of our regular crop of office-seekers. They are all actually shrouded in a cloud of mystery, Trump included. In fact, I take exception to the concept of "conflict of interest". I also take exception to the notion that a republic is in any way clearly any better than the results to be had at the hands of a direct democracy. We need to be doing far more studying of the situation we are in than we have been. We are still fearful of shadows, to the extent that we are more fearful of them then actual problems.
And who/what's fault is that. There really isn't that much that needs to be known. It's not really that hard to grasp the concept of greenhouse gasses. Of course, they did a lousy job of educating people in the years of their lives they were in K-12. Remedial education is in order. Maybe even medication. Though health and mental health is also something that a poor job has been done on.
There is no "the" markets. For purposes of discussion there is the Chinese market, the American market, the European market, the Russian market, the Japanese market, and the markets of the other countries in the area near China and Japan and the South China Sea that have similar skin tone to those two countries, and it is these countries to which I am referring when I make mention of the Asian market.
I did not read the article, but the website does not say that the causes of "global warming" are being debated, just unspecified changes, of which global warming is only a portion. I doubt I need to point out also that global warming and climate change are not the same thing, but there you go.
What hassle? You log in once when you buy a computer and Slashdot will remember it forever. Chrome or Firefox, dunno about Microsoft's offerings, will remember your log in details. On phones it's a little bit different, but two clicks in Chrome after making a post and you're logged back in. Don't you have to enter a captcha to post anonymously? No such thing when you're logged in.
I use the command line all the time. I think Microsoft may have swapped PowerShell for CMD behind my back, but it still seems to behave the same. I just got done using wget -r. I still need to do git svn fetch of gcc, keeps getting interrupted.
I used to be against DRM until Steam showed that I could move all my games from PC to PC and there's also plenty of Steam games that are free and bundle sites with tons of games that are cheap.
With QB64, Steam Workshop, and Source Filmmaker I've got more I can do than I can shake a stick at. And that's not even including all the game making bundles that can be gotten on the cheap that Humble Bundle keeps having. And that doesn't include the Open Source tools. Free assets? They're out there.
Oh yeah? Then tell me exactly how much silicon and other atoms were in each and every transistor of those computers. How much carbon was in the plastic surrounding said chips. Give to the last digit how much resistance every part had. How much could you overclock those parts? Cooling?
So how does needing Windows make anyone particularly dumb... except that I keep running into some sort of resource pool limitation on Windows that makes it have "out of memory" type problems, when there is plenty.
Dollar for dollar, computers (the device itself) haven't gotten more expensive come to think of it, but there are extenuating circumstances that makes it seem like it is, like the "need" for internet access. I also don't know what the C64 and the pre-IBM compatibles cost. I bought my computers either used or from a no-name shop when I first got into things. Used computers seem to be harder to come by at the steep discount you could originally get them at.
On the PC, I have to login the first time I buy the thing, and it is already filled in by Chrome because I logged into Google first. On Android devices, the site forgets I've logged in, but Chrome still fills in the details.
Or you can, you know, actually have something valuable enough to say that your e-reputation won't suffer. I have never had to worry about my e-reputation.
With QB64 it is just as easy to write just about any program you could have written under Microsoft's QuickBASIC as it has always been, including "Hello, World!", and it extends the language so you can write much more. The library of amature programs written for QuickBASIC/QBASIC is still around to learn from and extend.

Fairness and intellectual property. Ha, ha, that's ridiculous.

...unless displaying your face falls under fair use in which case you can't do squat.
But when you are using something under fair use you do not need to pay for it even if you are making money off it.

Back when I was a kid there was a time where even having a phone in the house was something we couldn't afford. Times did get better for us, but meh.

I thougt their slogan was to ask, "Where do you want to go today?"

You hopped over the buy the computer and download updates step. Computers are a lot more expensive.

Nonsense. I've been able to use a directory navigation program with every Android device I've had. There are several in the Play store.

Trump should team up with China to open Asian markets to both American and Chinese products.
