He's a nerdy heinlein-worshipping libertarian....they think they're experts on everything. After all, Grandmaster Heinlein says that you have to be an expert on everything to be a real human and after all they're so smart that they read Heinlein and they're just like that Marty Stu Lazarus themselves.
Those factories I mentioned being gone? They went away decades ago. Neither meth or heroin were a thing then, or much now. Prescription opiods on the other hand......
Also....Illinois, the only rednecks we have are immigrants from Kentucky/Tennesse that arrive in small waves every decade or so. In the past they arrived for those factory jobs, which paid better than the ones back home. Now they come up because they get better government services than they do in "YEE-HAW we have more confederate monuments than Union and we didn't even secede-Kaintucky and "Hoo doggy, Tennessee" They brought their NASCAR fandom (NASCAR fandom wasn't even a THING here when I was young. NASCAR was for Southron good-ol-boys who didn't know what real racing was), jingoistic country music, evangelical christianity and socks with Crocs with them.
WORKERS are what enable Facebook to exist. The CEO is the LEAST important person in the company.
The janitors, the adminstrative assistants, the IT support people, the code monkeys, the people that do the the REAL work of the company are the company. Not some gladhanding spoiled brat of a CEO who has had every advantage thrown his way.
is badly out of touch with Malsow's heirarchy of needs.
the Wi-Fi provides Information and Communication which are also VERY useful to those displaced. Didn't you ever hear of the Red Cross setting up temporary Cell towers and wifi and/or kiosks at disasters all over the world? Including the US?
This is why I'm starting to think that people who get free government benefits should also have to do certain things in order to get any help: in cases like this, the obvious answer is that these people need to fucking move.
Did you just speak in favor of forced relocation....based on income? Do you believe in segregation then? Hey lets force poor people to do stuff, but "taxes" are theft to us aspie libertarian techbros amirite? Fucking breeders are stupid anyway, amirite? More money for me is more money for a quad-sli setup that I use to play LoL, which is better than helping some poor person, who are stupid because they didn't learn to code like me......what's that? My coding job is being outsourced? FACEBOOK is evil and Zuck is a greedy spoiled upper class brat, amirite techbros?
And if this couple gets forced to move to Omaha, who is going to work in the Cafeteria at Facebook? Somebody has to do that. Perhaps we should value THAT job more and make the wage received for that job a living wage for living near Facebook.
Did you just time travel from the 80's? Food stamps don't exist anymore, they're EBT cards now. And, trust me, snap amounts aren't all that high, not even for persons with disabilities"SNAP"
and other aid like Section 8 housing
Section 8 housing is hard to get, waiting lists are long.
This is how much of our kids are being raised these days. We've mostly outsourced it to poor people.
Perhaps if the Plutocrats on Wall Street hadn't outsourced manufacturing, hadn't shut down the warehouses, encouraged train travel, discouraged white-flight, and done their very best to destroy unions...ESPECIALLY in the south, and basically bought all the legislation they wanted, things would be better.
I live in a blue collar semi-rural town in the midwest that once had:
A factory making televisions A factory making shoes a factory making gloves a factory recliners multiple small printing companies and other small manufacturing concerns
The first 4 are gone, the 5th has been reduced to ONE. Most but not all of 6 are gone.
The people who made the decisions that cause that to happen wear suits and ties and have titles like "CEO", "Chairman of the Board", "CFO", "Investment analyst", "Stock broker"
Mostly she uses her phone and tablet, and she's not even sure she wants a new tablet, except sometimes she likes to watch movies, particularly when she's sick and in bed, so maybe we'll upgrade to a decent 8" tablet.
Why not a 10" with a full HD screen for video, unless that would be too unwieldy for bed use.
Most of my email is done on my phone these days, it's just a lot simpler.
The reality is a lot of the casual and entertainment aspects of computing which I used to do on my PC is now being done on my portable devices.
Yep, I found that I don't even need to turn on the PC for basic browsing/email like I used to, thanks to the tablet (10" Lenovo A10-70f). Heck I'm even replying to you on it, with a bluetooth keyboard. (Logitech K480 which I picked up for 11 bucks and is much more pleasant than I expected)
I've got a similar machine, HP/Compaq CQ5320F was originally an Athlon X2 2.8 GHz with 3GB of RAM. But the motherboard can take a Phenom X4 (I've got the 2.8GHz 925 in it)
I eventually upped the RAM to 4GB. the specs were vague on how much it supported, but I found out this version of the motherboard can handle more than 4GB of RAM so I upped it to 8GB
I've upgraded the GPU three times. Onboard is Nvidia 6150SE, which I originally upped to a GT220 (1GB GDDR3 version), then to a GT640 SC Rev 2 (1GB GDDR5) and currently to a GTX1050 Ti SC (4GB GDDR5). I'm a Linux user and the only really 3D taxing software I use is Second Life, so that explains why I tend towards HTPC centric/entry level NVidia cards.
The machine has served me VERY well alongside the PS3/PS4.
Yes it is illogical because "came crashing down to earth" in various forms is a very common metaphor. I am very surprised you haven't encountered it before.
Thanks! I'm a Linux user but I know only a little about VM's and was wondering where I could pick up a Windows VM image so I could play with these guys and waste their time (at least when I have time to waste).
The persons pirating don't have a license to play the game so technically they "stole" a license.
Lets go back in time shall we? Suppose it is 199x and a new SNES game came out. Should I be allowed to shoplift the game or a SNES because I claim "I can't afford it"
The game is an indie game, it only cots $14.99 on Steam and is on sale for $11.99
Oh? While I know Gmail over IMAP with a real e-mail client isn't perfect, it's much better than using a web browser and there a plenty of e-mail clients to choose from. I currently use Claws-mail, but I've used sylpheed, Thunderbird (even going back to the Minotaur days), and Kmail.

It's the Garage of the Parents house so the furnishings may have been supplied by them.

A society is judged on how it treats the least among them.

BSD isn't dead, there are plenty of BSD machines out there. You can even buy them at your local enormo-mart....they're called PS4's.

Based on: the public NEVER uses PGP. Maybe if you are some kind of security expert and have spread your public key around.
"I" use PGP, and I am no security expert. My pubkey is available right here on Slashdot at the usual http://slashdot.org/~CronoClou...
Because of this one simple reason: It's not available for mobile phones. Might as well be invisible to 99% of the population.
It most certainly is, look for OpenKeychain on Google Play, it integrates well with the K9 Mail app.
There is one already. You have to go to Amazon to install the Amazon Underground app, then you install the Amazon video app from it.

Remember reading somewhere about how some UK fellows figured out some chargeback tricks to get PSN credit/games.
Thanks! I'm a Linux user but I know only a little about VM's and was wondering where I could pick up a Windows VM image so I could play with these guys and waste their time (at least when I have time to waste).
Why do you need to get a hold of the guy when you can just fricking buy the game on Steam, it is even on sale
http://store.steampowered.com/...
Here's another thing, The game only costs $14.99, full price and is currently on sale for $11.99.
http://store.steampowered.com/...
That is NOT exorbitant for an Indie game.
All he's done is enable thieves and legitimized their theft.
Agreed.
The persons pirating don't have a license to play the game so technically they "stole" a license.
Lets go back in time shall we? Suppose it is 199x and a new SNES game came out. Should I be allowed to shoplift the game or a SNES because I claim "I can't afford it"

It even costs LESS in Russia and the rest of the piracy havens.
I am surprised by the lack of Chrono Trigger.
.
That's strange, I'd actually recommend Mediacom as an ISP or phone company. Good reliable fast service (currently 100/10 for me).
As a TV provider however, they're mediocre.
It can and does, it just depends on how the distro has set it up.
Why assume malice? I assumed the person WASN'T being sarcastic because if he was he should have emphasized it a bit more.
Besides that, 1541 ownership WAS very low in the UK most UK C64 owners got their games on tapes which was not the case in the US.
And while the 1541 is faster than a tape drive, it was slower than Apple and Atari drives.

On mobile I use k9 mail.
As far as I can tell it is encrypted with just a passphrase and not to a key?
