  1. Re: Colorado sure has nice beaches on The Vicious Circle That Is Sending Rents Spiraling Higher · · Score: 0

    You sound too attached. I LEFT my 'home country' to get a better job. I don't give a shit about 'homeland' (whatever that is for you is a social construction anyway) and I'm better for it.

    The only people who had homelands are native people's. Unless you're a native Indian shut up because your ancestors didn't give a shit. How do you think you are where you are now?

    No. I want to collect the links in the background after reading the parent article. The back button is even worse if it has to reload the original page.

    Which Slashdot does by the way.

    You can tell who hasn't watched 'Humans Need Not Apply' on YouTube. Creative jobs won't be our salvation.

    1. To survive on creativity you need to be popular, can't do that if everybody is a creative type.
    2. Automation is already allowing the manufacturing of art and music to be created without you noticing.

    Seriously, check out that video.

  9. Re:Americans would like public transit more on Wirelessly Charged Buses Being Tested Next Year · · Score: 1

    You have to walk an hour to catch a bus? That's fucked up. Looks like you need more bus routes. I can't say it's ever taken me more than 10 minutes to walk to my bus stop, that's in Europe and in Asia.

    A surgical mask won't do anything. I should know I live in Hong Kong. A surgical mask prevents the transfer of bacteria, not pollutants. A person would need a proper mask with a filtration system inside. Luckily I have one. :-)

    A friend of mine in HK just bought a Samsung, one of those ones that are bigger than any asian's tiny hands, I asked her why she didn't buy the iPhone. Too expensive she said.

    But yet, where I live, in Hong Kong, iphone accessories are on display at what seems a 21:1 ratio. Hell I live off temple street and there are small shops that try to look like mini Apple stores.

    Dude, you just have to accept that this isn't going to happen. Just buy a Mac and get on with life. People have had this issue since licensing an OS was worth doing.

  17. Convoluted anyone? on Why Is Wikipedia So Ugly? · · Score: 1

    I consider myself a geek, but I want to edit and contribute when the tools are at least as easy as a wordpress blog. I tried to amend something once and it was a waste of my time. It's not intuitive at all.

    You're coming from a point of view that doesn't suggest the airlines are subsidised as well.

  23. Re:I admit, I was wrong ! on Home Office To Ignore Wikipedia Founder's Petition Against O'Dwyer Extradition · · Score: 1

    All those things were public services which would have increased the state (which is popular for conservatives to not do anyway), granted he got rid of them, but wasn't that because the state of the government's budget was the priority and they were not popular anyway (plus this was at the beginning of their government)? But this is different as it involves the Americans and that's probably enough since this government has always towed the line with regard to US interests.

    Also our justice system didn't have a problem with O'Dwyer. I'm confused.

    Yeah well done Britain. God my country sucks.

    You know I went to Germany last year (I wasn't in the capital either, I was in Bremen, a small city in the North), I saw people wearing those Guy Fawkes masks meeting up in public peacefully protesting. They actually care. I've never seen it here, we simply worship consumerism.

    Even Bulgaria got in on the action, we are at the bottom of the scale for engaging in political issues as important as this.
