FYI - there is a linux distribution called GalliumOS which is tailored to support Chromebook hardware. I've been running it for years on my Chromebooks. If you want linux apps, why not just install linux?
Regardless of the pay, I'd be hard-pressed to suggest that my son or daughter pursue a career in something as likely to be automated out-of-existence as piloting an airplane.
I wonder if that line of thinking could be part of the reason for the shortage?
Ladies and gentlemen, with today's launch of the Ayn Rand Space Station we're able to finally ensure lasting peace and corporation between multinational mega corporations from all over the world. What a joy to see Lockheed, Airbus, Mitsubishi, and BAE finally working toward a common profit target.

So accusing Donald Trump of being a Russian agent isn't extremist leftist globalist fake news? Nothing that they try to throw at this guy can stick, and even Wikileaks has come up dry on him.
No, it's not "fake news". In fact, it's so compelling a case that his own deputy attorney general saw fit to assemble an special counsel to investigate. Further, his attorney general had to recuse himself from the investigation into Trump's ties with Russia because of, uh, ties to Russia.
There is 100X more meat to this than Benghazi, Hillary's emails, Obama's birth certificate, or whatever else the GOP conspiracy theory du jour is.
Just a reminder. Rumor is that Bannon was fired not because of his whack-job views on race or economics but rather because he's not sufficiently bellicose toward North Korea for Trump's liking.
That is, he may have fired a snake but he did it on account of one of the snake's few redeeming qualities.
By the end of his term it will be clear that Trump is the biggest mistake America has ever made.
I like to keep my guns loaded, chambered and hidden throughout the house...where I'm never but a few steps away from any weapon that I can grab, and pull the trigger on (some do have safety on, but the glocks do not).
What sort of Mad-Maxian hellscape do you live in where this is necessary?
Is there data to back this up or could it be just the bigoted opinion of a few jerks? The same things were said about blacks, gays, and women.
The military doesn't pay for breast implants, they shouldn't pay for trans surgery.
If paying for trans surgery was the issue then POTUS could have ended the military's policy of covering that procedure. There are about 15,000 trans people in the US military. If ALL of them had surgery (which they won't) at 100k a pop it would amount to 1.5 billion which is 0.1% of the cost of the F-35 program. This isn't about cost or "unit cohesion", this is about bigotry - just like it was for blacks, gays, and women.
I've always appreciated that/. was a place where facts and nuance too precedence over bias and politics. Sadly, this place has changed.
Donald Trump broke this place. I used to think the anti-immigrant rhetoric here was 90% related to H1B misuse and 10% racism. After noting how strongly/. fell behind Trump (an anti-science, anti-net-neutrality, racist dog-whistling lunatic) it seems obvious I was wrong.
Remember when like 70% of slashdot thought that it was a good idea to put this buffoon in power because Hillary was too "establishment" and was a dumbass about classified emails?
We're giving +5 Insightful to comments which end with civil war. Good idea, I say: this side has all the guns, so we can push all you fuckers into the ocean.
Macs are mostly given to software devs and graphic artists who are much less likely to do stupid things with their machine than your average MBA Powerpoint jockey?
It's so interesting the rights you conservatives choose to give a shit about. Second hand smoke and the right to fire pointy metal bits at high velocity are defended to the death. The right of two men to marry, of workers to collectively bargain, of everyone to see a doctor - meh.
Will Trump being president be a disaster, probably.. but at least it would shake things up and make the elite take notice how easily they can be replaced by the unsatisfied masses when the option presents itself.
Thinking that a presidential "disaster" might be a good thing is more elitist than any of the attitudes of the people you seem to despise. A presidential disaster likely means a unemployment, homelessness, and hunger to us plebs. Even if you don't like her a vote for Hillary means 4 more years of status quo with a chance to vote for someone else in 2020. A vote for Trump is a vote for chaos, only the truly elite can survive that.
their tantrums are pushing me more and more to vote trump
You could make a similar argument throughout history to justify voting into office any of the great tyrants. I see this sentiment over and over again on slashdot and it perplexes me. Yes, people dislike this unapologetically racist, sexist, liar and yes, some of them are very vocal about it. That is not a reason to vote for him
Is Hillary perfect? No, not even close. But if you vote for her you can rest assured that in four years we'll have another election in which you can vote for someone you find less repulsive. A vote for Trump is a vote for chaos and a move of the political needle in the direction of fascism.
Do you really not understand why the right to free speech isn't the same as the right to a twitter account? I don't personally think twitter should shut down his account but they wouldn't be violating his constitutional rights if they did so.

Also, if Musk holds an active security clearance (which is likely considering the work SpaceX does) then he violated federal law by smoking marijuana.

Is there anybody with an IQ above room temperature still working in the US executive branch?
Room temp in Kelvin, Fahrenheit, or Celsius? Actually, never mind, no to all three.
Really? Which well regulated militia was Nikolas Cruz a part of?
Have you read the entire amendment?

Post made more sense when I read it as "end NASA funding for ISIS"
And yet George Soros has done it for the past 12 years.
George Soros is a US citizen

Every day you people run anti-Republican, anti-Donald Trump news.
these days that's just called "news"

I don't even want to go into the fact that his cars are, for the most part, coal powered.
Just no. You're faulting Elon for the overall makeup of the US energy market?
Nevermind the fact this entire discussion is based on Elon saying we should move away from fossil fuels in our production of electricity.
Nevermind the fact that what you said is just plain wrong, 62% of US electricity comes from non-coal sources.
Now, if you want to reduce CO2 emissions at the same time, feel free. I just don't want to be sent back to the 18th Century...
nothing screams 18th century like nuclear and solar power

Scientists also discovered that it's quite difficult to build tools without lungs. Perhaps we evolved lungs for toolmaking?
