    Yes. They had the best and most popular browser for a long time.

    To be quite frank, browsers really aren't that much more capable than they were in 2000. Take AJAX. You could do the exact same shit with IFRAMEs. Except, your audience were running 300Mhz processors, so really, you couldn't do shit.

    Not that improvements haven't been made, but it's really the hardware that made the difference.

    I'm 40, have no network, work full time, and still get calls from headhunters several times a week.

    In the last 10 years, the longest delay between starting to look for work and starting a job was 4 weeks.

    But then, I've spent my career building tools that solve real world problems, not useless things like games and social networks.

  13. After spending over a dozen years of my life in committed relationships with women, and bedding approximately 80 of them, I think I'm qualified to have an opinion without seeking the confirmation of a third party.

  14. Equal opportunity will always lead to unequal outcomes.

    Achieving equal outcomes requires precisely crafted unequal opportunities. Aside from being unethical and contrary to the public good, that level of precision is beyond the reach of elected officials, and the attempt has always and will always lead to a cock-up.

    On the plus side, men will give women all their money for a steady supply of sex and sandwiches. Women's lot in life is pretty damn good.

    Because if you want to write applications for iOS and publish them to the app store, you need XCode, and therefore, you must use OS X.

    I fucking hate it, myself. Such a painful operating system to use. It has made me swear, choke down tears of frustration and very seriously contemplate quitting my job.

    The hardware is nice though, if someone else is paying for it. I had a dual boot setup, did my work in Windows 7, wrote my mobile code with Xamarin Forms, then switched over to OS X only when I absolutely had do. That wasn't so bad.

  19. Re: We are returning to the dark ages. on Twitter Tackles Terrorists In Targeted Takedown (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    We are descending into a dark age. We have a culture of death, where we've replaced reproduction with immigration. This has been true for decades, and is becoming more pronounced with the passage of time. We have too many elderly, and our women are facing ever increasing pressure to choose service over family, creating a spiral effect. We will reach a point where we don't have the numbers to keep the infrastructure going. Our modern technological society relies on myriad resources being available, and as those resources become unavailable, all the knowledge in the world won't matter. Once we're unable to implement our discoveries and designs, people will forget them.

    As we became more advanced, our creations became more delicate. The more delicate they are, the quicker archeological evidence of them deteriorates. There is no reason to believe this hasn't happened before.

    ISIS are standing in opposition to this pattern, but I doubt they will be effective enough to prevent it. I'd say a dark age is pretty much guaranteed.

    What do you get if you cut a Nazi's balls off?

    An Occupy protester.

    That's why they blitzed all the way to the Atlantic. They were welcomed as liberators. But, eventually the evil foreign capitalists used their influence to mobilize the entire world and re-enslave the European continent.

    Though to be fair, Stalin wasn't a capitalist, just an ally.

    Then they saw to it that anyone who questioned their propaganda and told the real story was arrested. Questioning or disputing the "official" story remains a crime to this day.

    Hell, it's a part of this culture. Oh, you discussed the Nazis, GODWIN! Conversation over!

    Comparing Trump to Hitler is ridiculous. If Trump placed his businesses under the democratic control of his workers, that would be more like Hitler.

    Suicide bombers are like viking berserkers and japanese kamakazi pilots. They are the walking, talking embodiment of courage and dedication. The fact that you are their enemy doesn't diminish that in the slightest. Oppose them or not, when you disparage them, you diminish yourself.

    She never fetched me slippers, but she did volunteer work, helping anorexics with recovery, building urban farms with me to help feed the homeless, that sort of thing. I was very proud to support her, and she appreciated being able to do what her compassion told her to do instead of a boss.

    And she was proud to take care of me, because she knew my work makes the world better for everyone on earth, but I'm too stoic and tend to forget to eat for 16 hours when my head is pluued in.

    The really fucked up thing is, you can't concieve that giving a woman such a life is a gift, not a curse. Like working 40 hours a week for some rich bastard is the be all and end all. You know it's rich men who are grooming you to think that way, right?

    When every man in town is working for you, enticing women to neglect their role and serve you is the only way to get more power.

    And people are so stupid they buy it hook line and sinker. Reminds me of the head fuckery I experienced in the infantry, frankly.

    Yep. One of the things I like about IT is that I mostly work with men. Working with women means never being able to speak plainly.

    The other thing I like about it is that it lets me afford a stay home wife.

    That's what earns my respect when it comes to women, caring for a husband and children and doing volunteer work, being compassionate and supportive instead of mercenary and greedy.

    The more they try to show they can fit in a mans world, the more successful they are at doing so, the more they reduce themselves and the contempt they earn.

    That's just how it is. They reduce themselves from being the custodians of our future to being a tool we use to solve problems. Except you own and treasure tools, but you can't own a woman, so it's more like picking a stick off the ground to use as a lever then discarding it, knowing you'll find another stick later.

    That's the uncomfortable truth.
