    Because Troll and Flamebait are used since Slashdot has no "-1 conflicts with my ideology" moderation option.

    I even address the fact that I was not supporting such a thing, but people still get upset if they see any remark that conflicts with their worldview.

    How about before you become the google of something you prove that this even exists.

    Show me a working 3d printed gun. Not a lower for an AR, not a magazine, but an actually working 3d printed gun. That means you have to 3d print the parts that go bang. Otherwise you are just 3d printing gun accessories.

    Comeback without the strawman and total misunderstanding of systemic poverty and we can talk. Until then, fuck off.

    Disenfranchising the poor is simply evil. Its only purpose is to ensure an underclass that can be continually exploited.

    Almost all the people who think are leaches are most likely getting back SS money they paid or are the working poor. Hopefully when you retire you will stop voting. I know you need to feel superior to someone but dumping on the poor is not very classy.

    I have no interest in your randian fantasies, take that drivel elsewhere.

    Manning got caught violating his oath, he will be punished. If he had found actual interesting violations this would be reduced. As far as I can tell all he did was discover sad normal truths of war. Innocents will be accidentally killed, and diplomats will say bad things about each other.

    A yes the mythical supply side economic system. One in which the rich hire poor people because they simply have too much profit in their companies. No matter how many folks are standing around getting paid to scratch their asses the "Job Creator" hires more and more workers as his revenue goes up or taxes go down.

    These people must believe that the rich are no smarter than your average house cat.

    This country was founded on the principals of voting only for landed gentry, slavery and theft of land from the natives.

    I don't see how bombing brown children is outside the scope of the above.

    Should we strive to do better? Yes, but lets not pretend this nation was founded by Saints.

    Also wealth redistribution can be good for an economy. It is what made the USA the powerhouse it was. WW2 and the programs of the great depression moved lots of money into the hand of the new middle class, they spent that money thus driving the economy. A single rich person has only so many needs they will spend money on, taking that money and giving it to people who will spend it will improve the economy. Today we see the reverse with a shrinking middle class and a slowing economy as wealth accumulates in the hands of a small few.

    These are just facts, they have nothing to do with the morality of such action.

    The New York times would censor anything that would piss off major politicians. They simply would not want to lose their access to these folks and as such would have buried any cables on the backpages and censored anything too embarrassing.

  10. Re: Was an issue for about four hours yesterday on Bitcoin Blockchain Forked By Backward-Compatibility Issue · · Score: 0

    Even an outage of a few hours is not acceptable for a currency.

    The issue is not the fix, the issue is the poor planning that lead to the error to begin with. It hints that these folks do not know what they are doing. Which considering the deflationary design of bitcoin seems like something we should have all just assumed.

    No because the morons who created it did not understand what they were doing. If you don't know the limits of the DB you use why would I trust you to create a digital currency?

    You never lifted the handset off the acoustic coupler to see how far you could lift it and have it still work?

    Removing the cable is obvious and not something that should be patentable.

    How is that any different than sending a URL via a modem?

    A URL is just data too. It is data that contains a way to get more data over another source, but it is still just text data.

    I don't see why people are complaining, this is brilliant. Just imagine, since we already have phones that can carry audio these modulated tones could be broadcast over that network. This would be a simple and cheap method of sending data to and from any residence.

    Hopefully someone will one day implement this vision.

    Then raise the speed limit or change the law to state that speeding only occurs if the vehicle spends X time above the speed indicated.

    If your only objection is that the money goes to government the money could be allocated to charity or community service could be assigned instead of fines. Even a simple points system with no fines is another possibility. Rack up X points and you can't drive until they expire.

    Which ones are those?

    All the RAZRs, but the HDs have pathetic screens. Blur sucks, and they paid to created it. Find the idiot in charge of that and fire him. Locked bootloaders cost money to do and again attract no buyers, but do earn you bad PR. Being months behind on updates is also shit. Finally the RAZRS are getting 4.1, now in March! They should be on 4.2.2 by now.
