Zuckerberg didn't start his own company, he graduated college and got a job as a software developer.
Zuckerberg PU: "Corporations lobbying the government to import cheap labor from the third world is unethical. It amounts to indentured servitude and it does nothing but lower wages for the local workforce. It is but a scheme to let the rich grow richer and reduce the middle class to menial labor serfs."
Apple, Blackberry, Nokia, HTC all benefit if nuclear war levels the Korean peninsula. Also pretty much all Taiwanese chip manufacturers would benefit since their biggest competition would be gone.
Sony, Panasonic and Sharp would also benefit from LG and Samsung being gone, but Japan is pretty close and sometimes downwind from Korea so they could be hit by radioactive Rodan creatures.
They're not any less accurate than, say MSNBC. The articles are all written by journalism grads who only have a cursory understanding of technology and military issues. Read any mainstream press articles on something you know a lot about (for most of you that would be computers) and you'll probably find many errors.
One thing Fox has going for them is that they haven't rigged pickup trucks with explosives to show how dangerous GM trucks are. No creditable news organization would do that. Oh wait, NBCnews has...
If I offered to give you 1 million pounds of steer manure, delivered to your door for free right now, would you accept it? If you say yes, bullshit has value. If you say no, you're a fucking moron.
Online piracy isn't a good comparison because kids downloading movies on BitTorrent isn't in the same ballpark when it comes to gov't priorities as undermining the national currency.
A better comparison would be money counterfeiting. That's something they consider much more seriously and they dedicate a lot more resources to stopping it.
I know counterfeiting exists despite all their efforts... but when was the last time you were handed a counterfeit bill?
If people will trade real goods and services for currency, that is what it is worth.
That's just my point. In the United States, people cannot and will not be able to trade real goods and services with BC -- because the U.S. gov't has the force of armed men known as police and Secret Service agents behind them who will enforce the dollar as the sole legal tender, while BC operators have no muscle behind them -- hence the value of BC in the U.S. will be 0.
Anticipated rebuttal: "But you can already buy drugs and hemp products from Silk Road and some other places online"
Yes you can but only because the number of transactions is miniscule enough to not have attracted attention from the powers that be. Make no mistake, the feds will not tolerate a competing currency they do not control and cannot track.
downloaded it from Mega.co.nz instead of torrenting it.
Downloading by itself only allows for very small damages so companies don't bother suing. It's the act of uploading that brings large damages... because they can claim you were distributing their copyrighted shit. And BT by its very nature means everyone downloading is also uploading.
I was just watching my He-Man collection from 1983 (I am 12 years old) and noticed in the episode credits:
"Written by J. Michael Straczynski"
In your opinion, what makes He-Man the greatest television show in the history of the universe? Was it the great story and dialogue? Or the groundbreaking animation? Or the fact that it was the last major show to be animated in the U.S.?
The fact is you need two hands on the wheel and two eyes on the road.
Don't know about you but I do just fine with one hand on the wheel... *as long as I'm paying attention to the road and not some damn smartphone or mp3 player*
Anyone driving a manual transmission is going to have one hand off the steering wheel some of the time.
If you're still running 16bit DOS, your machines are highly malware resistant today. I know of no virus or malware circulating currently that will infect your machine.
Attempt at sarcasm fail. The people you were trying to mock are not xenophobic Bush-loving Repubs; most of them are union-supporting anti-corporate liberals. IT workers and slashdot in general are heavily biased towards Dems.
Although liberals are generally pro-immigrant (esp. for undocumented ones), if it's *their* jobs that are on the chopping block, opinion changes fast. Another thing is that H1B smacks of corporate greed trying to displace expensive local workers with cheap indentured servants, well because that's what it is.
I hadn't heard of either The Right Stuff or The Dark City, but I stumbled upon their review somewhere. Both Siskel and Ebert thought The Right Stuff was by far the best movie of 1983 and should've won the Best Picture Oscar. So I watched it, and I agreed... it became my favorite.
Then I saw the Dark City (much later), which Ebert thought was fantastic and his pick for the best picture of 1998. Siskel thought Ebert was out of his mind, he couldn't see what was so good about Dark City, but he was respectful in his rebuke. Anyways I saw it and I agreed with Ebert.
I haven't really seen much of Ebert since Siskel died and that other guy took his place... but Siskel & Ebert always comes to mind even today whenever I see a movie review.
Slashdot Mirror
That's probably Akamai cdn that Netcraft is picking up.
I can't imagine Microsoft would run Bing on Linux, especially since they created it from scratch (and not an acquisition like Hotmail).
That would be like Richard Stallman sporting an iPad.
Instead of an RC airplane, he should've put a model rocket on the balloon and fire it when the balloon popped. That would've been cool.
Hmm maybe I should do that....
Bing's servers run on Windows
Google's servers run on *Nix
Of course Bing is going to find more malware!

I'm not buying that shit. Neither should you.
Yes and they will all commute to their Linux desktops in flying cars.

By doing what they always do when they're pissed... arresting people

zero dollars...
Solidarity brother
Union Yes
so nobody makes custom hardware for in-house use. You buy off-the-shelf hardware.
Software is a lot cheaper to make so a lot of companies hire developers and make their own.

just ask Luis Wu...
What is your favorite movie and where was it made?
List the last 10 movies you saw, sort by country of origin (descending), and note which one comes up first.
two favorite movies for me.
I hadn't heard of either The Right Stuff or The Dark City, but I stumbled upon their review somewhere. Both Siskel and Ebert thought The Right Stuff was by far the best movie of 1983 and should've won the Best Picture Oscar. So I watched it, and I agreed... it became my favorite.

kid? Are you like, 80 years old?
