If I thought of something harmful to White civilization and the survival of the White race - mass immigration, feminism, multi-culturalism, anti-racism, gay rights - I realized that Jews were behind it, were promoting it through their control of the media, and had been doing so for decades.
You have to be careful around parenthetical expressions. They're supposed to be minor asides or quasi-unrelated to the matter of the sentence. But sometimes, they are the most essential statements in it; revealing not only the true meaning of their parent sentence, but very often the context of the whole piece.
This method would actually have worked if the people who made IPv6 hadn't decided to make the standard backwards incompatible.
As it is, IPv6 must be run in dual-stack mode, which means that even if you've got an IPv6 address, you must also have an IPv4 address. The reason for this is that the people who designed IPv6 are effectively incompetent. They designed a standard yes, but gave no thought to a transition plan.
Given the contemporary level of respect, remuneration and funding for science in western societies, I think the more apt analogy is that ploughed fields produced more than those left to go fallow.
The vast majority of markets are not monopolies and are in no danger of becoming so, regardless of government intervention or regulation.... And yes, I'm an economist.
Only on Slashdot would an economist spouting naive orthodoxy be modded to +4 insightful.
Her story is not even consistent from minute to minute. I'm not sure I buy it.
Her story is actually remarkably consistent and clear by general radio interview standards.
This story is it. This is the acid test. A young woman is selected for the scanner; she feels uncomfortable the naked pictures of her being taken, she further feels uncomfortable with being groped in a body search and also refuses that. For this simple transgression, she is arrested, refused her flight and escorted out of the airport. The ability to refuse to be subjected to such indignities is a basic freedom once enjoyed in every western society. This is basic stuff.
If this incident passes by without proper discussion, whatever pretense America claims to having a civilized and free society is utterly bankrupt. If this woman ends up facing actual charges, it means the US no longer has claim to the rule of law--only of order.
Can I just say that watching this is absolutely hysterical?
I doubt it will as funny 'Taco, when Google decide to pull the same stunt with Slashdot. We're witnessing a pivot event in that companies history and culture.
This is the first time Google has ever actually attempted to wield power. What happens if they find they like it?
The next time one of your peers tells you how evil all those white infidels are, tell him to shut the hell up, to grow up, and step away from the radical idiot who cares less for their life than for his own ego.
And what happens when that radical idiot is actually right; when the US and its allies are actually the cause of misery, oppression and sufferring throughout the middle east. What do you do then? Must you walk away from confronting injustice for the sake of a peaceful flight?
And the answer is: of course you must. You must sit down, shut up and never, ever question the status quo of the inherent righteousness of the USA. Disobey, and you will be cavity searched. This is the true function of the TSA.
Or you could just force tls/ssl on sites that support it and render firesheep useless.
Firefox users are using software which actively discourages use of ssl and other secure connections. They're unlikely to set their browsers to use secure connections by default.
As a cloistered, intolerant, outraged ball of suet, I am offended and insulted by not only by the content of your post, but the very existence of it. Furthermore, the possibility of you being able to make other posts like it frightens and upsets me.
Therefore, by the powers vested in me by public mass hysteria, I denounce both you and your post and move that you both be stricken from the internet for the sake of the children and for all.
And guess what pal; now I've got the mighty Google behind me. Let's see you blog your way out of this one now.
People may not like to hear it, but the parent comment succinctly embodies the motivations for all nature-nurture studies and indeed a significant chunk of genetic/biology studies seen in the popular press.
People can be bigoted and racist if they want; but we are free to object when they try to call their opinions science.
Organisms are not programs. DNA is not data. Biology is not a branch of computer science.
In bygone times, people would compare animals and indeed human beings to clocks or steam engines. Comparing them to computers is just a flawed and just as misleading. However, it is more fashionable, so I doubt people will stop doing it anytime soon.
Corporations exist to maximise the remuneration of management.
Ballmer and most of the senior executive are motivated by this principle far more than they are motivated by any supposed duty to the shareholders; who likely consist largely of HFT algorithms at this point.
Then watch it fail when used in real life by actual gamers.
No "actual gamer" is going to buy this device. Most that might have been inclined have probably already been burned by the Playstation Eye(Toy). The Kinect has already been and will be lambasted by the traditional gaming community.
But as the Wii proved, "actual gamers" don't actually matter. This device is being marketed to just about everyone else, and will likely sell as to parents and the like as a supposed mini-console to a younger gamer. At least for this Christmas; I fully expect shops to be flooded with second hand Kinects come February.
There's only so far that this paradoxical duality of private and public property rights can be carried. Ultimately as technology stretches the current legal, social and philosophical landscape to its limit, something will have to give.
The essential issue here is not the recipe or where it was gleaned from. The central issue is that perhaps only 2 or 3 kilobytes of data is being protected by a strong legal monopoly, in perpetuity, without any formal notice, contract, or written agreement of any kind, and furthermore this data crumb is being made freely available worldwide to anyone, again without any written notice or agreement of any description. The internet is stretching copyright law to its limit and sooner or later, the whole concept is going to become farcical, particularly in cases like this.
You may not like it, but data is worth essentially nothing nowadays. You may consider that unfair and that it will affect those who make their living off producing content--and I would agree with you on both counts. But at the end of the day, technology has done for data what it did to steel and paper; brought the cost of an expensive good to down dramatically, only in this case, the cost is plummeting to zero. The worthlessness of 2-3KB of data is becoming an indisputable and publically accepted fact which our legal and economic systems cannot long withstand.
The age of commercial content and content producers is coming to an end. Cooks are going to have to go back to cooking food for a living. And the rest of us are going to have to go back to actually making things--real tangible things--again.

A paper? He'd probably do fine. An exam however? He'd flunk it quite badly.
This is the difference between subjective and objective metrics.

This TV station is the greatest western psyops coup of all time.
It's the Minnesota Court of Appeals, not the US Supreme Court. This decision is about as far reaching as the judgements of the Ennis District Court.

Yes it's wrong; so deliciously, deliciously wrong.

If I had worked on a movie titled "Batman XXX", I would expect to be compensated generously for the injury to my dignity alone.

Well we stole Tetris and made billions on it, so it all worked out in the end.
