Because one day someone might label you the Nazi, so you better speak up for their speech now so you can keep yours too. It's the internet, there's many offensive things on the internet, do you really want a internet with Safe Search Filter set to High all the time?
Seems strange to me that someone can serve real jail time for downloading a movie worth a few bucks but not serve jail time for malicious misappropriation of twitter accounts which resulted in catastrophicly bad press for twitter.
Classic (or perhaps deliberate) misunderstanding of our right to free speech. Yes, we must stand up for the rights of others we vehemently disagree with to say what they're gonna say. But no, nobody owes them a platform or a pedestal. Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.
You do realize they were kicked off the internet for writing a disrespectful article about a someone killed while marching with antifa, right? This isn't a slippery slope, this is reaching the bottom of the slope and is very, very scary.
Antifa, BLM, KKK, Nazis, they are all just different acts in the same Shit Show. They are all extremists and bigots who think the other side has no right to express an opinion, or even live.
You, focusing on "rednecks" are also exhibiting a bigoted opinion.
they're protesting their first amendment rights being taking away. What could be more American than protesting for the right of free speech? This is the opposite of Germany in the 30s. If anything antifa is behaving like the nazis by telling people they do not have a voice and if they do try to speak they're met with violence.
Did some white supremacists and neo-nazi's show up? Yes, just like any rally you're going to get some troublemakers, like in ferguson when some people looted stores but the majority of the people protesting did not.
2) The conservatives had a permit to be there. Antifa did not and came looking to fight.
3) She joined in with a violent antifa group to counter-protest a legally permitted rally. She should have known death was a real possibility. When you stand next to someone being violent, you have to know when the counter-attack happens you might be caught in the crossfire.
That's crazy. So do you pay for radio too? Is there a cool breeze licensing fee for when the wind blows? How about a tanning fee for when the sun shines? Rain fee for when it rains and waters any grass or plants you may own?
The jury has deliberated and we have decided that on balance of the evidence and the stipulations made here on slashdot, that Tomb Raider was indeed iconic.
Have to disagree, at least not in the context of Star Wars in which we're speaking about. Perhaps people don't know her name as much as Angelina but I guarantee they know her character better. If you asked 100 random people "What movie has the character Princess Leia?" and "What movie has the character Lara Croft?" more will remember Star Wars than Tomb Raider. And isn't that what "iconic" means, being widely recognized and well-established?
I have Android phones that even on silent the Amber Alert comes through and despite many searches there does not appear to be a way to turn off the alerts on some of the free or prepaid phones. Removing the battery seems to be the only way to disable the alerts.
Destruction of evidence is itself a crime. The difficulty is always in proving that's what happened - by definition you're missing a key piece of evidence.
I'm less concerned about the destruction of evidence and more concerned that even though we know she's committing criminal acts, people are still supporting her for President. What does that say about them? We see criminals get away with things all the time, but usually they don't have a cheering section, and even if they do they're not trying to vote for them as President of the United States. Trump may be all the things they say about him, but Hillary is a criminal NOW, so what is she going to be like as President? If something does happen, it would be a giant SHE TOLD YOU SO.
Really? Because I had Windows 10 crash on a clean install less than a week after installing, with no software installed except for chrome and firefox, while sitting next to a Windows 7 computer that's been running 200+ days straight.
Windows 10 is garbage. Necessary garbage, but still garbage.
"Socialism is the realization that we are better off working together and living in a fair society."
What you call "fair", others would call taking from the "rich" and giving to the "poor", which sounds great in theory, but in reality the "rich" aren't really the rich, they're usually the middle class, and the "poor" aren't really the poor, many are scamming the system and only appear poor on paper. Sure we can hire a bunch of people to investigate everyone's lives and make sure the actual rich are only the ones paying more and only the actual poor are the only ones receiving benefits, but that's just more big govt bureaucracy. If you **really** want to be fair, you'll let the people that worked hard to be middle class remain middle class and let them keep their money, and the people that are actually poor can receive benefits from soup kitchens and churches like they have been for thousands of years without government interference.
Who? Rado Kotorov is just trolling, who cares what he says, not like he's a judge or senator that can make a difference. So tired of "omg look this guy that doesn't matter said this thing on a blog, we should all care!"
Funny I just cancelled my spotify today because it required a program to be installed to work on PC and it didn't allow me to login using their facebook login thing. Why does it require a program? Should work on any browser like..... uh, pretty much everything, everything except big games.
the problem will solve itself with modern technology. Kids these days don't get a $500 xstation and a tv and all that. They get a iPad and play everything on there. And no I'm not talking about the 16 yr old that still plays playbox because that's all there was 10 yrs ago before tablets, I mean the 6 year old that does not remember life before iPad. Ask any parent with a child under 8 that has a iPad, they're glued to that thing morning until night. They even watch youtube videos of other kids playing on their iPads. And iPads are far more social than a xstation, they're carrying that around everywhere.
Really not. Who uses composite video nowadays? Realistically it is $19 or $24 for the VGA and HDMI respectively, especially in the use cases illustrated in the o-so-funny-and-games video.
Compare this with the Raspberry Pi line and the reason for C.H.I.P to exist is nowhere to be found.
Maybe a competitor for some Arduino use-cases. Maybe.
Agreed. It's bait and switch. "Hey $9 computer.... oh you want better than 480 resolution? Well that's another $10! Oh you want to connect to a modern HDTV? That's another $5".
And honestly, at these low specs, I could buy a used 1ghz, 512 mb, 4gb desktop PC for about $25 and it would have VGA and at least be able to run some flavor of Windows and be upgradeable.
Doesn't natural selection also include perception? Aren't there some species that choose mates based on colorful feathers or sounds, and those with the most colorful feathers or most desirable sounds tend to produce offspring more? So how is choosing a mate based on height any different?
Raising kids is a lot like trying to influence your friends to do the right thing, you can tell them until youre blue in the face but at the end of the day they're going to do what they want. Are you 100% responsible for everything your friends do? Of course not, then why should parents be 100% responsible for everything their teenager does?
Swatting is not like killing or stealing or doing drugs, picking up a phone and making a prank phone call is not on the same level as grabbing a gun and killing someone even if that phone call could have the same consequences. So the people that say "the parents always say they're a good kid" maybe they are a good kid because they would never pick up a gun and kill someone but they might pick up a phone and make a prank phone call and they should be severely punished for it.
I predict a lot of people will buy the 1.0 product and it will become obsolete quicker than you can say "apple stock". The 2.0 product might be more interesting.
Can't believe they are charging 10k for the "higher end" watch. Bragging rights for rich folks, but rings pretty hollow considering what you get.
Apple Watch will probably go obsolete as quick as any iOS product, which takes a few years before they stop supporting it. The latest iOS 8 still supports the 2011 iPhone 4s. That's much better than Android, I don't think there are any 2011 Android devices that support Android 5.0 without rooting them.
First of all, it needs an iPhone. Don't have one, don't want one.
So you don't have what it requires so you don't want one. Thanks for that. Guess you don't want a furnace because you live in Hawaii so therefore no one else on earth needs a furnace. Apple has sold over 700 million iPhones as of March 2015, even if only 5% buy an Apple Watch it will be a huge success.
Everyone cried that the iPad was ridiculous, it was just a large iPod Touch that cost triple the price. It sold like crazy. The Apple Watch will sell like hotcakes. Apple Watch will sell more in 1 day than all the Android Watches ever sold. Then Samsung will make an exact copy of the Apple Watch, add a SD card and removable battery, and the samsung fanbois will make fun of Apple for not having a micro SD card slot and a removable battery.

Five Dead Cops would probably disagree with you. But some Leftist Extremist shot them dead.
Don't forget about the conservative congressman shot while playing baseball by a liberal
Have you even seen some of vile spew from the antifa? Their hate is just as despicable as that of the facists. Your "no equivalency" is bullshit
I wish I could mod this up
Antifa, BLM, KKK, Nazis, they are all just different acts in the same Shit Show. They are all extremists and bigots who think the other side has no right to express an opinion, or even live.
You, focusing on "rednecks" are also exhibiting a bigoted opinion.
Agreed. Seems in every protest or rally now days there are a few members that belong to one of those groups. Problem is when the media labels the entire group because of just a few members. The rally was not for kkk, nazis, white supremacists or even white nationalist. It was uniting conservatives in a fight for free speech: "the City of Charlottesville and roving mobs of Antifa have cracked down on the First Amendment rights of conservatives and right wing activists. They have threatened our families, harassed our employers and tried to drive us from public spaces with threats of intimidation. We are not afraid. You will not divide us."
Unfortunately Antifa showed up and started trouble and someone died as a result of it.
they're protesting their first amendment rights being taking away. What could be more American than protesting for the right of free speech? This is the opposite of Germany in the 30s.

UNITE THE RIGHT August 12th in Charlottesville’s Lee Park. In response to the Alt-Right’s peaceful demonstration in support of the Lee Monument on May 13th, the City of Charlottesville and roving mobs of Antifa have cracked down on the First Amendment rights of conservatives and right wing activists. They have threatened our families, harassed our employers and tried to drive us from public spaces with threats of intimidation. We are not afraid. You will not divide us.
1) they were not white supremacists, or at least that was not the rally's intention. It was for conservatives:

what does a game tester do that my nephew doesn't? He's playing the games hours at a time too.
Game testers try to break the games by not playing them properly. If the game say "turn left" a game tester would turn every direction but left.

20 cm is what, about 8"? That seems like a rather large increase in average height in just 150 years
