But you self suffering wankers would confuse irony with a lack of appreciation of your own self importance. And I'm not sure if that is ironic or tragic.
Me neither but I'm smart enough to work smart

Working Hard?

Not harder. Be professional, be well skilled, be educated. And if you're going to enter a 'professional' field get used to the idea that you are not compensated for piecework. If that doesn't jibe with your world view, then by all means throw you shoes into the Jacquard looms.
And FWIW every trades person I know is self employed and runs a cash business and is doing better than most white collar people.
OT is for burger flippers

Not for real jobs. Sorry kids, the world is round the sky is blue. Cope, dudes and adjust your reality.
The very fact you are complaining about OT means you're out of your depth. MD's, JD's, CPA's and a thousand other professionals don't get OT.
As goes the rest of the country it's only a matter of time before Apple starts suing people who do this. Profiting from the work of others? Material breach of intellectual property laws? Stealing the function/design?
Oh yeah pretty soon even looking at your own computer will be a licenced activity granted you on a subscription basis. You will be told what to do with your computer, when how and where.
Why oh why does Apple insist on making everything look techno like brushed steel real devices? If I can afford an Apple I'll buy myself a Breitling watch.
Your guilt seems misplaced. TV doesn't kill people. Obsessing over whether it kills people or not, does. If the people of Bhutan were exposed to the modern world
IN ANY OTHER WAY
the results would largely be the same. The only alternative is the Shangri-La option and fence off the country a-la Bhutan did previously .
So it's wonderful to bash the 21st. century but then you have to be willing to forgoe the automobile, cat scanners, industrial farming and the information age.
I swear sci fi writers are the most conservative people on earth: "The future, it always sucks."
I was until recently charged with, albeit rarely, running a FORTRAN insurance claim reserve accounting program originally written in 1961. The only major mod was a conversion in 1984 from card to tape input.
My phone company gets complaints every day about their crappy service. They do not care, neither does Time Warner, the Water company, the Gas company or my nuclear fueled electric utility.
All they are after is a manageable predictable cash flow.
....And we want the government to force other people to allow us to do that.
They are carriers & they could care less about spam other than the hardware demands the sheer volume of this stuff means for their investment cycle. If they could magically reduce their workload by 80% w/o losing one dime in revenue I swear they would turn out their children to do it.
All they want is to insure that regulation doesn't work against THEM. Just like Disney has their own channel that shows only Disney shows and doesn't run anyone else's commercials, they don't want a regulated internet that forces them to do anything.
It's not about open anything - it's about oligopoly.
Languages are tools that are used to organize sytactic rules that are then converted into machine usable representations of the same general purpose.
Languages as you understand them will be as dead as the steam powered loom in 50 years. We will have non letter/symbol typed tools to do that in as much as the DVD has 'replaced' live theater as the only way to 'reproduce' entertainment.
That's the component that keeps breaking. Intel does not give one nuclear frog fuck about the life of their processors. They care about one and only one thing - the money they can extort out of you on the next upgrade.
All chips are baked to a manufacturing tolerance that allows them to run at any given speed. Each new batch is tested and if more than some number predictably run at a given speed then that is what they are rated. As their manufacturing process imporves with each turn of the Deeming crank then the rated speed goes up. But when you push more power through the chip to make it run faster it superceeds it's own manufacturing tolerances. It would be like putting a 767 in transonic dive. It might hold together but Boeing thinks that's pretty much your issue.
But Intel doesn't make airplanes they make CPUs and their revenue comes from locking you into THEIR upgrade path. Break that relationship and they will hose you.
Imagine that, YOU are paying the embedded costs for them to find a clever way to stop YOU from speeding up YOUR chip.

As I've said for years - changing the distribution channel changes nothing for the artists. The system is rigged to not pay the artists.
Why don't they hold a fucking gun to my head and force me to listen to the whole 'work of art' they way they demand.

Whatever happened to improved usability?

Floating upside down and avoiding The Man. That's what this reminds me of.
I am speechless. Wow. A smallish PC with a smallish screen, hard to type keyboard and a bunch of gewgaws.
Let's give them Quake 3 Deathmatches. Fuck all that do gooder shit and put up a goddamn Starbucks.

yeah - you can't get a girlfriend so you might as well buy one.
How do you guys type so much with one hand?
That's pretty much where we are with the space program - probably the analog of oh...say 1914.
