Yeah, it's what a story looks like after its been approved for the FP, but hasn't quite posted yet. Back in the day, you could see them early with a subscription, but nowadays you need lucky timing to be able to catch them.
the same people who offer nothing of value after cashing in on their welfare.
Lot of 'em in the workforce, too. I wish more people who hated welfare understood this. Idiots and slackers are distributed a lot moire evenly than they think.
Yup. when you can get a mid-range gaming laptop for around $500, consoles start looking pretty useless.
I am a little surprised though. I would have thought that things like Netflix integration and other 'media center' goodies would help attenuate this problem, but I guess not.
Treating prisoners humanely, even someone as horrible as Breivik, isn't about them, it's about us.
We don't offer inmates creature comforts, proper nutrition, health care, and all those other goodies like lack of capital punishment not because of some myopic moral failing but because we've figured out that sometimes, the abyss looks back.
I'll use a first aid analogy: The very first thing you learn in a first aid course is not to go blindly charging in, ready to provide your life-saving skills. You're told to carefully consider the environment you're about to enter, mainly in order to avoid the fate of your victim, so that instead of heroically saving a life, you've gone and doubled the problem making yourself a casualty as well.
Sure, it would be easy to strap a mass murderer like Breivik into a chair, pump him with some nasty chemicals and be done with him. Or throw him a hole and ignore him unless something horrific happens to him, so we can then point and laugh.
But we don't, because one of the central conceits of a modern and humane justice system is the understanding that multiple wrongs don't magically turn into something right, ever. All those wrongs do is stain the innocent some more. They don't heal, they don't provide closure, they just extend the scope and reach of the original crime.
So we try and treat criminals as well we do, because it's vitally important for us not to give into the kind of urges, no matter how small, no matter how petty, that produce people and outcomes like Andre Breivik.
Yeah, this. For all the crap Microsoft get around here, the 360 was a very decent entry in the console family tree. The comparisons to the PS2 are quite apt.
Government regulations and subsidies have so muddied the water that vast fortunes can now be made out of selling power that is generated less cheaply and efficently than it could be by other means.
Man, I wouldn't admit publicly on slashdot that math is hard. Just saying.

Hey, I'm sure like a lot of things that the execution is different than the intent.
But GP was too lazy or too stupid to make that point...
Right, cuz waste management isn't a thing.
. As soon as it became political
When was that?
garbage =/= toxic waste

On average best ratio you can get is 1/1 , if you require people to have 1/1 ratio or higher

Which is why no one does that. The highest required ration I've seen is
Not yuuuuuge enough.
Please don't cop an attitude
You must be new here.
My friend whose paying job involves building and tearing down cubicle walls can 'build a computer' at that level.
That's the point.

Oh alright then, carry on.

Why the fuck are you people buying your PCs off the shelf? Aren't we supposed to build our own rigs?
Actually, in Capitalism, the market is in a "poor state" only for the producers. It's a great state for the buyers.
That's a great point, but it only reinforces GP's narrative because 99% of "financial" news is made by and for the producers. Fuck the rest of us.

The insurance industry doesn't get their profit form clients, they get it from stock market investments and the like.
The man had far too high an opinion of himself to dilute himself like that. His main appetites were music and sex. I don't think he even drank.
The "anything in media is automatically liberal" meme long ago reached Illuminati-like levels.

Your troll-fu is weak.
Data and evidence is good and all, but anecdote!

Well shit, in Europe that means you're already 4 countries over. You need a better scare metric.
