malware is effectively a virus because both the same software is used to detect and warn you against it and in the end all that matters is results: "my computer go bad, it no work anymore", or it is a bot, or whatnot.
A layman might not see much of a difference, but it's not really a virus if it doesn't self-propagate....
Why indeed? It was only a stolen election that resulted in trillions of dollars lost, a destroyed economy, shredding Constitutional rights, and the CIA dusting off the torture manual that the Chinese used to force false confessions from Americans captured during the Korean War.
Of course it is. Wages have stagnated or declined while the costs of food, housing, and especially health care & education have all risen faster than inflation.
Or is it the fact that people want to spend $600 on a new toy, and have all the great $10+ a month services like Netflix and Hulu, and all the 'necessary' apps, and they feel it is necessary to take vacations that invariably cost $4000+.
The crayon is only limited by the imagination of the kid (and reality), while the iPad is limited by both the imagination of the kid and the programmer.
Eh? Do crayons come with 16k colors to chose from, undo features, layers, ability to change the size and opacity of the drawing tool, and erase without smudging? You can do all that with Sketchbook on an iPad. And that's just one (free) app.
When I first got into teaching, I got in towards the late-end of a district's adoption into an all "leftist" exploratory K-12 math curriculum. I'm sure most of you are familiar with at least one series that falls into this category. We had "Math Investigations" in grades K-5, "CMP" 6-8, and Core-Plus 9-12. The core concept of this series was that teachers were not supposed to teach rote-learning of math facts. Calculators would supplant that "old-fashioned" method of learning. Kids grew up learning how to "explore" math, rather than memorize addition & multiplication tables, practice procedures repeatedly, and churn out page after page of "drill n' kill" problems.
Could you repeat that again? I'm afraid between the dripping disdain and gratuitous hippie punching, it was hard to see WYP was.
I got these kids in high school. When we ended Core Plus and reverted back to a traditional textbook, they couldn't do 40% of what you would find in an Algebra I textbook
As opposed to the 40% of students brought up on grinding rote-based mathematics that also get to high school with subpar math skills? Who do we blame for that - capitalist pigs?
Don't forget what the CRA actually does: prevent discrimination via redlining where banks would deny you loans based not on how much money you make, but by where you live.
It does not and never has forced banks to 'ignore underwriting standards', which is bullshit Republican propaganda.
Doctors (usually) graduate with huge student loans and have to pay into malpractice insurance in our system
Which is high because malpractice insurance, just like health insurance, has much to do with greedy insurance companies and little to do with the actual cost of lawsuits/health care.
Invalid reductio ad absurdum is a logical fallacy.
So is hand waving. Unless you're confident in stating there's a 1:1 ratio between conservatives that are skeptical of AGW and conservatives that are skeptical of vaccines, chemotherapy, pacemakers, etc.....
This conveniently lumps them all into a science-hating group and furthers the "us" vs "them" rhetoric. The comments so far on this page show a circle-jerk consisting of "Only stupid people don't believe in science!"
Speaking of circle jerks, that's the same tortured logic that leads to fundies whining that objections to their hatred for gays, Muslims etc is "anti-Christian bigotry".
So lets go ahead and move past that word salad. This stuff is actually quantifiable - like polling to find out that educated conservatives are more likely to believe that AGW is a hoax and that Obama is a Muslim than less-educated conservatives.
It doesn't fucking matter what the response is to a question that's Not Your Damned Business. Let's go ahead and dispense with this nonsense, and we wont even have to go Godwin:
1850's. Underground Railroad. A band of parollers knocks on the door of your great-great-great-great grandfather's house in Tennessee, wanting to know if he's hiding any escaped slaves in his cellar. Your grandfather lies and says "no". Still going to stick by that "two wrongs make a right" crap?
What purpose does lying serve, anyway?
How much time did you actually spend thinking this over? What if the person asking questions that are Not His Damned Business is in a position of power over you?
Like say....the HR manager at a company where you are trying to get a job. Like say....in the subject of this Slashdot story. In a long recession where there are six applicants for every open job.
Or how about at the State Department in the 1950's, and a co-worker asks if you are gay...and you are.
Or before federal and state laws prohibited the practice, asking female job applicants if they are pregnant.
Your statement shows that you've already blocked your ears and your shouting "la la la la" at the top of your voice so that you cant hear me..
Do you use a cannon or a howitzer for your projection? The Bible is either Literally True, or it's not.
Adam and Eve literally were really the first humans on earth...or they weren't.
Moses, acting through God, literally did part the Red Sea...or he didn't.
Planting different crops side by side is literally a deadly sin...or it isn't.
The circumference of a circle is literally three times the square of its radius...or it isn't.
Now you can "la la la" as much as you want, but anyone can falsify the Biblical version of Pi in a few seconds with a round object and a shoe lace. And if you have to admit that part of the Bible isn't Literally True, then you have to admit the same for Adam and Eve, parting the waters, different crops side by side, and the rest.
If I said it was raining cats and dogs would you take it literally? No.
Are you claiming that is a Literal Truth and that it really is raining cats and dogs? No. Are there fundies who insist that the Bible is Literal Truth? Yes. Would you have issues if you were literally claiming that it was literally raining cats and dogs from the sky? Rhetorical question.
Not sure what part of "the Bible is either Literally True or just a bunch of stories open to interpretation" is hard to understand.
However they want to rationalize the hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance. Of course they deserve to collect the benefits they paid for! It's all those other lazy scum living on the Nanny State that need to be cut off....
Of course they do - why do you think most "foreign cars" are made here in the U.S.? Because there's an import tariff on foreign made cars.
The attitude of "just do SOMETHING, ANYTHING to get our jobs back" doesn't work.
Let us know if your ego is strong enough to keep you fed and housed when it's your job that gets offshored. And all so some vulture capitalist can make another million bucks by moving a company overseas.
That's what they say - what they mean is that they want to play the same H1-B visa game that tech companies do, where they demand a graduate degree, five years experience working with Windows 7, and are willing to work for less than $30,000 a year.
Except with manufacturing, they want 10 years related welding experience and are willing to relocate for 9 bucks an hour.
In either case, the company gets the desired result - "we can't find American workers!" and then brings in cheap foreign labor.
That's great - if you don't use Facebook. If you do use it, then you're *lying* to a prospective employer, telling them you don't. Two wrongs don't make a right.
Two wrongs? Get the hell out of here. When someone asks you a question that is Not Their Damned Business they are in no way whatsoever entitled to an accurate answer.
Of course you are. The Bible is either Literal Truth, or it's not. Arguing that passages should be taken as the Undeniable Word Of God, except for that one you can falsify in five seconds with a shoelace and a round object, is like saying you can be a "little bit pregnant".

Or maybe he remembers how Congress "blocked" Total Information Awareness, only for the NSA to implement the idea anyway, just without the name.
This link is for you.
Some people also have an honest opinion that blacks and jews aren't really human. They're still bigoted opinions from bigoted scum.
Why indeed? It was only a stolen election that resulted in trillions of dollars lost, a destroyed economy, shredding Constitutional rights, and the CIA dusting off the torture manual that the Chinese used to force false confessions from Americans captured during the Korean War.
No big whoop.

Not even close. It's wages.

Piece of cake then, as many Apple stories are posted by site editors.
Don't forget what the CRA actually does: prevent discrimination via redlining where banks would deny you loans based not on how much money you make, but by where you live.
It does not and never has forced banks to 'ignore underwriting standards', which is bullshit Republican propaganda.
Then you'll have no problems citing some examples.
"All" of them? How many actual "Jobs-worshipping Apple fanboys" have you actually met? When was the last time you saw one?
"Fanboys" are like the Loch Ness Monster. Lots of people claim to have seen it, but when pressed offer no evidence.
The Jobs Chronicles?
Which is high because malpractice insurance, just like health insurance, has much to do with greedy insurance companies and little to do with the actual cost of lawsuits/health care.
Then you wont make it long at all as a scientist. There's also peer review - which you skipped over for some reason.

It simply does. not. work.
