When do you want to give up the US military, as that's about as socialist as you can get? I mean, if you want to be consistent, there is a lot you'd have to get rid of, leaving you in a very precarious situation afterwards. It's almost as if you haven't though this through at all, and can't look past your own wallet.
Taxes pay for the countless things you are seemingly unaware of but which provide for you the life you lead, including letting you moan about taxes on Slashdot. Your life without taxes wouldn't be heaven, but quite the opposite. Hint: you are not an island.
Your "reasonable person test" doesn't seem to work too well, as driving your car to pick up a fare is part of using your car for business. Visiting a nightclub or going to an interview involves using the car, but can be performed with any other form of transport, so it's hardly comparable. Delivering pizzas is the same thing - you are simply driving to work until you start using your car for business. I can see why you think the way you do, but don't assume you are the sole arbitrator of reason, just as I won't.
He's probably referring to you attempting to correct someone's mistakes with your own mistakes. Your misuse of apostrophes does not make you seem particularly careful, which is rarely (never?) a good quality in a developer.
From the "women can't be scientists" guy. Very insightful. Please tell us more of your wonderful generalisations, clearly based on whatever grudge you pulled out of your ass this morning.
Nothing can help them. They've been shown a demonstrably more capable and secure protocol, and thumbed their noses at it simply because they don't understand it or because it's new and they'll have to re-learn some basics.
1. They don't care about you to dig through your data 2. If they did care enough about you, they wouldn't be hindered by this at all, but would now have evidence that you are trying to hide something.
It's entirely counter-productive. You are just not that interesting to them, yet should you become, you've given them a reason to dig even deeper.
Quite the opposite should happen, actually. Normally a (competent) web developer writes their CSS without any vendor prefixes. They will then use a tool to add the vendor prefixes, which is normally part of their workflow or build process (so is run automatically). That means the developer just writes pure CSS, and the vendor compatibility is taken care of automatically.
You can say what you want without criticism if you can make a factually accurate statement that doesn't rely on stereotypes or lazy racism to be true. If you can't get your message above those rather low standards, prepare to get called out on it. Some lazy opinion-fart blaming a disparate group of people for some perceived slight should be called out every single time - it does not help the discussion in general, and is frequently used by other people with axes to grind who also find it difficult to elucidate their concerns without resorting to intellectual laziness.
I guess you'd call me an SJW because I believe that social justice is just as important now as it was when the hot-button topics were slavery and votes for women, for example. I value idiots spouting their obscene, barely-thought-out nonsense everywhere as it is a great way to quickly identify those having difficulties measuring the world that surrounds them. You can say what you want, just expect a response when you start making illogical assertions to the detriment of others. If you happen to represent a company, expect that company to get it, too.
"Give kids some food so they're not hungry and can learn" == SJW, should be hated. Gotcha. Your parents raised a lovely human being. They must be so proud!
He's just lashing out as his tenuous grip on his surroundings appears to weaken, and fear sets in. Fear of whatever's different - used-to-be-subservient women speaking up? Horrendous! Black people speaking openly of systematic abuse at the hands of the government? Heresy! It's all an attack on white guys! Won't someone please think of the (white middle-aged) children!?
As we saw with racism - the really die-hard types will dwindle in numbers as they die off, and society can get some breathing room to improve.
The Netherlands (meaning "lower countries") is a country made up of 12 provinces. Two of these provinces contain the word "Holland" - North Holland and South Holland. Utrecht is in neither. Some people outside the Netherlands call the Netherlands Holland, just as some outside Britain call Britain England. Them doing so doesn't make it right, and a tourism domain isn't exactly evidence you are right, just that people often get it wrong, as you have.
You really should stop discussing this topic! More difficult? It's precisely the same - want to move from the UK to Spain (or vice versa)? Jump on a plane. Done. From Germany to Denmark? Drive across the border. Prices also vary across country - or do you think prices in the Greek countryside are pegged to those in London? PLEASE keep posting - it's hilarious.
I don't even. No. How does that work? You still need to be registered. It seems from your post history that you are looking for any excuse to get angry at immigrants, yet you can't be bothered educating yourself as to why they are not a threat. Your laziness is dangerous.
If they say "you can get basic income if you have participated in welfare for X years", they have to apply that to Dutch and non-Dutch alike. They can set that X to 0, 5, 10, 50 years if they wanted. That's the thing. Get a grip.
What is it called when you stalk and harass people by AC posts? Is that somehow cool because you do it, but abhorrent when others do it to you? If you can't see a problem with this, you need even more help.
Spam: irrelevant or unsolicited messages sent over the Internet, typically to large numbers of users, for the purposes of advertising, phishing, spreading malware, etc.
You constantly posting adverts to your software (that no-one asked for) is the very definition of spamming. So yeah, you are a spammer. If you are not a spammer, register an account and shut us all up. I won't hold my breath. I look forward to you posting lots of AC posts mentioning how "apk destroyed [me]", or you trolling my post history and adding 3 comments to each of mine in some strange attempt to look like a normal, functioning human being. You are not a troll, though, as you seem to believe what you write. Saying that something is "not cool" and should not be done is rather hypocritical of you, APK, as you know that spamming is not cool, yet you continue to do it anyway.
I think you have a cursory understanding of this issue. Christians in the west have been the majority of years. Of course comparing legislation designed to protect a minority seems ridiculous when you apply it to protecting a powerful majority - there is no other outcome possible, making it a purely rhetorical device devoid of useful application. You saying they are comparable makes you look, well, irrational. And I guarantee there are uncountable different flavours of "the left" in the Netherlands, so you lumping them all together is making you look like you don't fully comprehend this discussion, as you are tilting against a monster of your own creation. "See this massive generalisation I'm making, and ascribing motive to, well, they're bad! Therefore whatever I seem to claim is right!". Nope.
There you go yet again confusing fanatical and moderate Islam. If you were right, there would be endless bloodshed between the millions of Muslims in Europe and the rest, where the violence is incredibly limited to just those practitioners of Islam who have been affected by fundamentalism and fundamentalists. You are not helping your cause by making up nonsense, and you are not helping yourself by doing so either - you make your cause look woefully ignorant and out of touch with reality, and you a blithering idiot. You should get a refund on your education, as it doesn't seem to have worked at all. Well, I'm impressed you didn't choke to death on your keyboard while writing your post, so I guess there's that.

You are aware that the Sony Pictures corporate IT department was not responsible for developing FreeBSD, right? Apparently not...

"This virtual machine is too insecure! Give me a binary I can run instead!". You've really not thought this through, have you grandpa?

Poor little repressed middle-class white guy! You poor thing! Won't someone please think of the entitled 45-year-old children!?

Yeah, that perfectly healthy individual bleeding everywhere, who had just fought some other dude. Wut?

You should see the state of Germany's armed forces, then maybe you'd realise the level of nonsense you just wrote.
You are making two massive mistakes:
1. You assume all taxis are as shit as those in the US
2. You assume no limits to the number of taxis is a good thing
