    Never proven? Which facts are you unsure of the evidence on?

    At no point in American history have we had any form of link between voting and land ownership. One (white) man, one vote.

    "Famous person involved in embarrassing sex act" is the go-to for intelligence agencies around the world when they want to discredit someone. Add to that the tale of Trump renting the room Obama stayed in, and you've got a pretty snopesable scenario.

    If I want someone to get into my online accounts when I die, I will leave them the password or other access in my will. I don't need Facebook to share that shit unilaterally.

  6. Re: Good for you sir! on Malls In California Are Sending License Plate Information To ICE (theweek.com) · · Score: 1

    In a racist society (all of them), laws are intrinsically racist. Every law must be weighed against its inevitable use a tool of oppression. Because of this, most laws are morally and ethically reprehensible and indefensible and should be ignored by all thinking persons, especially those of us with an aegis of white skin. By normalizing the breaking of the law, it makes it harder to justify its misapplication by police.

    Jaywalking or selling cigarettes can be a capital offense if you're black, and is a citiation at most for a white person. That's consistency for you, there, right?

    American law descends from English. Makes sense that because England is Big Brother capital of the world, America would lean that way as well.

    Lawyers. Those well-paid consultants are called lawyers. Weird how people would want a lawyer to help them in a court battle.

    Police misconduct largely falls on minorities. Giving police more power gives them more power to hunt minorities and other undesirables, while protecting white middle class people from having to spend too much time around melanin.

    So, according to your definition BTC is not gambling since I keep winning year after year.

    My smartphone keyboard does "just fine" with straight quotes.

  13. It's super useful for enabling long mode (64bit).

  14. Apple relies on x86-64, which is backwards compatible with x86, but Mac throws up a warning when you actually try to run old x86 code.

  15. x86-64? on China Begins Production Of x86 Processors Based On AMD's IP (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I assume they're talking about x86-64, which is modern AMD technology, and not actually the x86, which is decades old Intel technology. I can't imagine anyone would want to build x86s for anything but legacy devices.

    Apples and oranges. Lucas is saying he doesn't want people to look at unfinished art. He is not saying he takes issue with the interpretation of the art, in either finished or unfinished form.

  17. So, you think that any movie you've seen but haven't understood is the fault of the director? Nice fantasy you've constructed for yourself...

    It's a status symbol. It demonstrates your status as part of the generic middle class American milieu. Since "everyone" has one, people feel the need to buy one to demonstrate their own status in the herd.

    Emergency shutoffs are for fires and when cars crash into pumps. They are not there to stop a theft.

  20. If my employer asks me to put them in my Facebook profile (most do nowadays), they have lost all credibility if they attempt to quash my personal writings. You fucking asked to be included, now you are.

    I would not work for the sorts of companies you are talking about.

  21. Not everyone who works at a company is representing that company. Your status as an employee is a simple fact; it does not make you a representative to simply state your employer. The Twitter feed was her own private feed and she should be able to say what she wants without fear of retribution.

    Whenever a change is made, the metrics show users have difficulty with the change. Even if it doesn't, you have to suss out the effect, which gets fuzzier with more changes. Over time, marketeers decide the less change the better.

    SMBs run their businesses on SAAS services. So, essentially anyone serving SMBs is in the same boat.

    Hey, dipshit, one does not have to read from the top of a post. Less likely to do so when the post fills more than a phone screen. I don't begin reading a post only to find out later it's ten pages long, I scroll to the bottom first to check.
