If you like being nannied, maybe you and those who think like you should just move to North Korea or the western European country of your choice...oh I see, the nannying is for everyone else but you.
I am sorry for what happened to you but that doesn't mean 'infinite safety' is owed at the expense of everyone and everything else.
No. Sorry, this does not excuse the school's responsibilities. Think about it this way: If the student had bad study habits and blamed it on the professor, would you agree with him? I doubt it. In this case, the professor had bad teaching habits.
Holding the perpetrators accountable is a big part of "learning how to overcome obstacles, no matter how unfair they may be." Basically, it's a form of standing up for yourself.
I'd imagine such people would rather pay $300 one time for a shitbox computer. Remember, all the vendors want to go this route, and all of those 'only $5/mo' offers add up fast.
You people are nuts. I'm sure you'd think otherwise when a bunch of government thugs show up at your door to 'redistribute' 'our' property from you to someone on their more-equal list.
Unlikely. NASA should focus less on political activism and more on engineering a long term plan for a permanent, productive presence elsewhere in the solar system. If we're going to keep the organization around then that is the role they should play. Semantic arguments over the word 'planet' are as completely unproductive as this stunt.
I see someone's hopped on the social justice 'intersectionality' bandwagon. If you hate white men that much, maybe you should just shut off your electricity altogether.
Sure it does. Can't have law-enforced artificial scarcity without government oversight. It's the heart of crony capitalism, a hallmark of socialist societies.
Yes, that's true, but I included up to the pre 2000 era because I think even in the 90s there was plenty of 'it should run forever' ethic in the software world.
The ones that really irritate are the downloader installer stubs. I run a whitelisted firewall and it's a royal pain to get those working without disabling the firewall. There's absolutely no need for this. Just give me the full install!
RH has had its detractors for years, way back to the 90s, so no, it's not just Canonical/Unbuntu or Gnome 3 and systemd. The Gnome project itself is also no stranger to criticism. Distro choice has always been a divisive subject for a variety of reasons, mostly boiling down to technology decisions and the commercial/political aspirations of the vendor.
The "you're just a hater" excuse is a fallacy that shuts down discussion. It's used by those who don't want to address the criticisms made.
If memory serves, the initial attitude towards Ubuntu was positive. It was an easy to install and use distro for non-systems type users and newbs. I think the hatred set in when they adopted Gnome 3, and later, systemd.
So? Was he caught spearfishing with it? Someone still has to decide to and then use his tool unlawfully. Arrest those people. I'd rather these easy-to-use tools are made and distributed because they highlight the vulnerabilities (software and policy) required to get them installed. Software vendors and governments don't want them highlighted, the former because of image and the latter because they hoard them as munitions. Neither attitude is beneficial.
The last thing society should do is depend on law and law enforcement for system security. I bet they use RAT (or something like it) too. If it's ok for them, then it's ok for everyone else.
I'm not sure it matters. Such arguments are made quite a bit these days and deserve critical responses, if not for the benefit of the troll who likely knows better, then for those who read his comments.

Don't use these 'personal assistants' in the first place. They're pernicious spyware.
Simple. 'decolonize' it.

SocJus taken to its 'logical' conclusion. Reality is bigotry.

Sounds like s shithole school to me. Its staff failed to present you the material in a comprehensible and interactive form.

IP is a losing man's game anyway, though it does not shock me that a totalitarian state like china would be interested in imaginary property.
Is this title supposed to invalidate complaints over tax increases? It fails, horribly.

As the politicians who took the job, it is their responsibility not to lie or sell out voters' interests.
Sounds equally bad, since 'elected' officials are the ones selling out anyway.
Sure it does. Can't have law-enforced artificial scarcity without government oversight. It's the heart of crony capitalism, a hallmark of socialist societies.
Except that it's abuse of IP law that enables this to happen in the first place.

If you ran winNT, OS/2, or linux on a 386/486, you had those things.

That's right. I never disputed this.

Around here? I give it 50/50.

Stop embarrassing yourself and read the comment I replied to. RAT is not a bomb.
