Doesn't that violate our First Amendment rights? Any of you njiggers want to sign up for a class action suit?
No, actually it doesn't. You have every right to shout it out loud, or to make your own site and type it as much as you want. But Slashdot doesn't have to allow you to type anything at all...it's their site, not yours.
When were they actually a thing? I've yet to see one (other than online), and I don't exactly live a sheltered life...I left momma's basement 40 years ago.
As unseemly as it may be, if what Apple is doing is legal (not "evasion" if it's legal), then they're doing what any business would do...make the most ROI for their investors to drive the stock up. If not, they should pay heavily. And either way, the tax code needs to be fixed so they can't.
I feel a great responsibility as an American, as a CEO, to try to influence things in areas where we have a level of expertise.
And what the hell makes Cook an expert in the fields of immigration and climate? Clearly, his interest in immigration is all about driving cost down, and H1-Bs. I'm not saying Mr. Cook's positions are right or wrong, only that he's not the right person to be influencing decisions on either of these topics.
I'd love to put every "nut job" back into a mental hospital, but we can't seem to agree on what the qualifications are for that. So instead, you expect to penalize all of us for the actions of 0.1% of the nut jobs out there. I won't say that makes you one of them, but it does show you're inability to think clearly.
Because THATS worked so well for the starving, homeless, indigent, etc in the world. Don't push your religion on me.
Nobody was proselytizing to you. Just because you have a chip on your shoulder, doesn't mean the rest of us have to pay any attention to your childishness.
Yeah, but if the company has to make one AC unit for my state, and a slightly different one for your state, that will surely make them cheaper, right? Asshole.
They don't have to do that now, so why should it change? Oh yeah, because we need to create more bureaucratic red tape.
There's a clear difference between what you said, and "inciting" a riot.
Penal Law due to the fact there was much fighting in the streets, "A person is guilty of inciting to riot when one urges ten or more persons to engage in tumultuous and violent conduct of a kind likely to create public alarm."
With that line of thinking, we shouldn't allow anyone under the age of about 22 to be considered responsible for their actions. If you haven't learned that your actions have consequences by the time you're in college, you had fuckwits for parents, and that has nothing to do with the development of your pre-frontal cortex.
I am sick of righties calling techs lefties because they use big words I am sick of righties thinking they can then turn around and threaten to dox people they can barely understand i am sick of righties getting called out and whining that they're being bullied because they failed in a power gambit but they're doubling down & need a sucker
Then go to one of your safe spaces, and look up some "big words"...you managed to get one with three syllables. Keep up the good work. Oh, but while you're there, you might want to have a look see at which side controls all three branches of the federal government, while the loser of the presidential election is making the rounds, and using every imaginable excuse for her failed "power gambit".
I agree with much of your post, but the example of basketball shoes is probably not a good comparison. Athletic shoes typically get a lot more wear and tear. The advice on running shoes is normally to replace them after ~500 miles...mine are usually repurposed into yardwork shoes.
Yeah, yeah. Tell me, what happened with China during the Korean War? What happened with China and Taiwan? What happened with China and Tibet? What's China doing building up fake islands to claim territory that's not recognized by any other country? I could go on and on, but you're clearly an anonymous Chinese troll, so why bother?
So, it's okay for someone to hate someone else, as long as they never act on it in a criminal sense, and if they do, they'll get extra punishment because of that hate. Seriously? The argument could be made that crimes against anyone, regardless of race, creed, sex, etc., are "partly terrorism", and a threat to everyone...not just that group.
Yup, Japan, Germany, Korea, Singapore...China's just next on the list, and as their standard of living increases, they'll price themselves out against cheaper competition from some third world country. But, I'd disagree with your reasoning on why things were so poorly maid. Having lived in Korea (80s & 90s), I witnessed firsthand their attitude about doing things just good enough to get paid, and it didn't matter if you were willing to pay more for quality. You can see that in the evolution of Hyundai when it first came to the US. The cars were pure crap, and so they fixed enough to keep buyers buying, but did nothing about vehicle safety.

Reading this response, I think we're actually in agreement.

Or a failure of "Titanic" proportions?

Do you understand the childish people often act on their emotions without thinking through the consequences?
FTFY Learn to be an adult and control your emotions. You don't get to interfere with other people just because you're offended.
When are they coming for Kovfefe Drumphus?
After they've come for the Anonymous Cowards.

Bravo, from across the aisle.
There have been a bunch of documented cases of them attacking counter-protesters, and it's been documented that the local police look the other way.
Documented? Where? By who?
The current President (a far right-winger)
Thanks for the laugh. You clearly either don't know the far right, or Trump.

Sure, let's. Next?

I guess they're funding Slashdot because it's a copy-cat of reddit, but without the democracy
I'm hoping this was humor or sarcasm since Reddit started in 2005, eight years after Slashdot.
Cashless can come at a price (no pun intended).
