Yes, I like advertising. That's how sites like Slashdot exist without me having to pay for them. It actually costs money to run something like this, and that money has to come from somewhere.
And that is it. Unless you are stupid and desperately tying to sound "hip". Using the already well defined short form "crypto" for "cryptographic currency" is an utter fail.
I use this to gauge the relative age of an audience:
Did you hear that IBM finally came up with an object oriented COBOL?
It's called "Add 1 to COBOL giving OBJECT-ORIENTED-COBOL".
(And, yes, I know that IBM actually *does* have object oriented cobol)
(For those who don't get it, note that "++" is the increment operator in C, thus "C++" is just C incremented. COBOL's verbosity means that the same operation requires the code above, although "Add 1 to COBOL" should be enough)
I believe net neutrality (and most stuff handled by "policies") needs to be codified into US federal law by the Congress. So, I'm pro-net-neutrality, but believe all law should be handled by Congress.
I know it's en vogue to blame Russia for all things non-liberal but this shit is getting ridiculous. Russia hacked the Election, Russia hacked Brexit, Russia killed your puppy, Russia forced Harvey Weinstein to jerk off in front of women, Russia made my wife cheat on me...
Fuck off all of you.
Yeah, but this is the problem of money in politics. A country like Russia has vast money to pour into a campaign like this, and there's no way average people can come up with a dollar to combat this insidious advertising campaign.
Seriously, though, someone's getting this upset over less than a dollar? The left is beyond parody at this point.
âoeOpponents are concerned about the safety of pedestrians, particularly elderly people and children. Walk San Francisco, a group that campaigns for pedestrian safety, wanted a complete ban.â
Yeah, theyâ(TM)ll be much safer with UPS and fedex trucks driving around.
You know, the rich Democrats who had this project shot down repeatedly really care about global warming. I mean, you wouldn't want these ugly towers to ruin their views while they're on their yacht or flying their private plane. It's understandable.
I still have my grandma's rotary dial phone that she paid hundreds of dollars to rent over the course of her life. It was so nice when we could suddenly buy cheap phones, answering machines, etc.
Around 2001, the cable companies tried to sneak a "super DMCA" bill through state legislatures, and one of the provisions that they had made it illegal (literally, a crime with punishments by the state) to connect anything to your cable connection without their permission. And by "connecting" they meant "in any way connected". If you connected a router with 3 computers that would have been 4 separate crimes.
I don't think most younger folks know where they got that idea from.
So much for the government enacting the will of the people.
There's a process for the government to enact the will of the people, and it involves Congress. Not the FCC: Congress. That's how it *should* have been done, and if Obama and the Democrats cared so much about this they could have done it. It's like DACA, only not quite as bad.
Bingo. I had this "conversation" with a racist leftist lunatic on Quora. He claimed that Whole Foods was racist because, basically, they aren't building stores in the hood. I pointed out to him that Tractor Supply Company has the same racist biases, based on his "logic". I think he finally gave up and went to shit in someone else's punchbowl.
No I didn't until I was older - I'll bet if you asked your kids if sugar was in milk they either say no or I don't know.
What is the big deal?
Dude, in case you're *not* joking - milk has a naturally occurring sugar called "lactose" (I know all "sugar" is the same, by the way). It's not added except by the cow.
Slashdot Mirror

Yeah, I can imagine it now:

And:

"CNN is reporting is an 18-mile-long funeral procession for Officer Charles “Joe” Gliniewicz"
"Without fail, it’s the most privileged people who feel the need to Do Something"
Yeah, maybe that's why they're "privileged".
How did this anti-capitalist bullshit rant make it to "news for nerds, stuff that matters"?
And that is it. Unless you are stupid and desperately tying to sound "hip". Using the already well defined short form "crypto" for "cryptographic currency" is an utter fail.
Go argue with the $7B.
Since the internet is an interconnected mess of wires
Bullshit. It's a series of tubes.
I'm obviously too old, because I remember the punchline as 'ADD 1 TO COBOL RETURNING COBOL' (C++ adds one to C and returns C).
Wow, makes me wonder if I'm the first to have made this one up in the mid 90s.

He absolutely knows what it is - he isn't stupid. What he says and what he believes are unlikely to be the same thing.
Which means he's evil.

Does that mean I get smarter as I lose weight?
Based on my observations in Walmart, yes, there does seem to be a correlation there.

The Clinton foundation isn't a corporation you dolt. Troll harder next time please.
Please alert the Arkansas Secretary of State - he seems pretty confused about this:

The IRS also thinks that this nonexistent corporation is a 501C3, probably want to alert them, also.
This was the dumbest Satoshi theory yet. I can't believe that Elon actually responded to it.
Of course he responded to it and denied it. Which just goes to prove that it's really true!
Sugar is totally added to milk, especially lower fat milks, but even Vitamin D milk has added sugar.
Not where I get it. The ingredients are milk and vitamin D. Chocolate milk has added sugar.
Speaking of leftist lunatics...

It's a geek site, and yet you're either trademarking a bunch of a's with little hats or they still haven't figured out Unicode 20 years in.
Yeah, "invested". In quotes.
That's a nice word for it.
I mean, it's anything that would benefit a Republican candidate, right?
