Yes, and the most insecure of the ignorant not only do not want education, they have all sorts of ideas why it's not just not for them, it's unnecessary in general. Try to disabuse them of this notion and they'll accuse you of being an "ivory tower elitist" even if they are an upper middle class person talking to a lower middle class one whose parents cared enough to make them go to school.
I just realized how we can appease handgun fanatics, end the military-industrial complex, and get universal health care. We'll graciously let everyone own whatever weaponry they can afford (and perhaps create some tax incentives) thereby enabling us to crowdsource all military operations, giving the savings directly to the insurance industry since free markets know how much of my money to take better than the government.
This is just what I would expect from a Process that tries to "govern" browser innovation. Just like the most Inefficient Enterprise known to man, a Federal Government, these starry-eyed liberals are learning the hard way that you can't just say you want everyone to get along and expect anything to actually happen.
So much of computing has become tainted by unproven and fantastical liberal ideas, such as the Collectivization of memory by fiat (aka "virtual" memory) and a bloated, power-hungry Executive (monolithic kernels). The sooner we can move away from the european socialest and west-coast liberal traditions in software design, the better off we will be.
These companies should take a lesson from the free market and try to deliver a product that can beat their competition. Whoever proposes the best standard will win and we won't have to listen to whining on Slashdot about how everyone should just cooperate like losers.
There's "nothing in the rule book" in that the laws of physics don't preclude it but an education sure isn't an impediment! I am amused by the way you trivialize years of disciplined study and forging connections within a field as some kind of rain dance and equate discovering something (which anyone can do with some luck and equipment) to characterizing it in a form that expands the boundaries of scientific understanding (aka research).
Why is it so hard for slashdot readers to accept that there are other technical disciplines and epistemic traditions that deserve respect and on the whole do in fact know something autodidact programmers don't?
Some colleges have long refused to participate in the US News rankings not necessarily because of this type of problem, but because it would be a tacit validation of what is a transparently worthless metric (numeric rankings? really?) for evaluating a college education. That it's crooked is almost irrelevant.
So basically, you'd rather we just give up on this "governing ourselves" business and forget about all that "of, by, and for the people" nonsense (since people apparently turn into cartoon villains when they start a career in public service) and hey, state's rights sounds like a pretty good deal.

I think Rush and the Republicans do a fine job of that on their own. There may be some amount of artful framing, such as acknowledging that Rush is a de facto leader (in that people who deviate from his narrative are demonized and later apologize to him), but the real liability in people like Rush doesn't need outside provocation.
Personalities like Rush are in fact fueling fracturing of the party by radicalization of the base with rhetoric about RINOs and how conservatism has never really been tried because the conservatives we've been electing weren't real conservatives or something.
eyes out when reading about politics on slashdot. I mean, really. I haven't seen so many functionally illiterate people in one place since the April 15th fauxtests.
Like it or not, millions of people's political views are informed by Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. The fact that they don't actually contribute to a meaningful dialogue is not an excuse to write them off if you're concerned (as everyone should be) about the current state of political rhetoric in our Republic.
It's important for everyone to understand how Rush frames issues and propagates talking points especially when you see a trend of politicians (the actual policymakers you refer to) apologizing to him on air for making perfectly fair criticisms of his format.
The important thing is to not go apoplectic when Rush says something stupid or inflammatory, but to try to understand what it is about his listeners and his rhetoric that cause so many people to see him as their voice.
Yes, but they haven't given it as much thought as you just did.
There are people who believe that the government wants to make it illegal to own gold because it 'competes' with the fiat money system, which they (the Fed'ral Gubbermint) use to rob you blind with inflation (via the Federal Reserve).
Most of these people don't have enough money to even buy one or two ounces of gold at a time, but they fear collapse so much and are tantalized by the prospect that it would drive gold prices higher so they 'invest' in the phenomenon of thousands of poor and poorly educated people just like them buying specious gold holdings online.

It's a great deal if you're tired of owning the world's most publicized bittorrent tracker.
Or we could, you know, find somewhere to plug in 365kg worth of stuff.

That latter incident was an error. They corrected it and apologized.
that little slut was asking for it

On the other hand, the many non-profit private colleges
And Brad Pitt would be broke
All you need to do is ask yourself how much income does a department generate in grant money and you've missed the point of education entirely.
The internet competes with a college education in the same way that porn competes with sex.

Try using Debian. I followed the documentation I could find via Google and had Kerberos/LDAP working in an afternoon.
The protesters were 99% illiterate white people.
The culture that brought us the April 15th "tea party" "protests". Whatever it's called. Illiteracy I think?

Most smug handwaving post ever. Pass around to your friends as a little joke!

If you feel like I do, reply here.

Gold bugs, meet the 'other side' of your shrewd 'investment' transactions
