Nope not R or C, but I live in SE Virginia and seem them all around... Fucking over the country as a whole and specifically anyone who's not rich, white, and heterosexual (all of which which I actually am) - because "'muh Freedoms!" and "let's leave things to the scientists" (but only those that agree with us, otherwise science and scientists are bad/wrong). Fucking fucktards.
The Steve Ballmer Institute: No one knows what condition afflicts steve ballmer. Hes a man once known to hurl furniture in fits of paranoid delusion, only to emerge days later caked in sweat and howling a chant of 'developers' over and over, in a schitzophrenic episode. The Ballmer institute seeks to heal by studying and, in time, formulating a treatment for this rare and profoundly sad disease.
It's a nice idea, but their suggested treatment is just repeating the word "doctors" ad nauseum.
Or stop using Windows. That seems to help calm my desire to hurl furniture a LOT.
Alternatively, the SR-71 Blackbird did it in 1 hour 54 minutes and 56.4 seconds in 1971 - apparently still the fastest record:
The SR-71 also holds the "Speed Over a Recognized Course" record for flying from New York to London—distance 3,461.53 miles (5,570.79 km), 1,806.964 miles per hour (2,908.027 km/h), and an elapsed time of 1 hour 54 minutes and 56.4 seconds—set on 1 September 1974 while flown by U.S. Air Force Pilot Maj. James V. Sullivan and Maj. Noel F. Widdifield, reconnaissance systems officer (RSO). This equates to an average velocity of about Mach 2.72, including deceleration for in-flight refueling. Peak speeds during this flight were likely closer to the declassified top speed of Mach 3.2+. For comparison, the best commercial Concorde flight time was 2 hours 52 minutes and the Boeing 747 averages 6 hours 15 minutes.
The Ford bulletin listed in TFS says: "This is a compliance issue with FMVSS 114 regarding theft protection and rollaway prevention." One would think the issue would simply be shutting off the engine when turned off so, you know, it doesn't keep running. I understand that software controls allow for more features and save the vendor money on hardware, but I don't think they actually makes things simpler, better, safer or more reliable. I know that, historically, whenever I have turned the engine off in my cars, the engine has always turned the fuck off.
The summary mentions "Wealthy retirees today also already live an essentially post-money existence, "travelling and exploring and deepening their understanding of the world and being generally happy." which sounds great.
Yes it sounds great. Of course it's their savings -- ie: money -- that allows them to do all that. So not so "post-money" after all... TFA and TFS are misguided in that respect. And budget cat food sells well because there's a difference between spending and wasting money:-)
Have you checked out Leigh Alexander's new website Offworld? I hear it's like Jezebel but better. Give it a try. It sounds closer to your convictions than/. will ever be.
I've been on Slashdot since you were jacking off to cheerleaders.
That's actually a little sad - and my ID is about 100k less than yours. [ Fuck me; I need to get a life. ]
If society has devolved to the point where it is acceptable to clamp down on unpopular (aka offensive) speech, then please, kill me now. I want no part of a society like that.
Depends on who's doing the clamping. The Government? Unacceptable. But individuals, companies, corporations don't have to fund or support unpopular or offensive expression - as determined by those entities themselves. The First Amendment only says the Government cannot make laws that interfere with your speech...
This despite the prevalence of outlets at home and work,...
I've never worked anywhere, in my 30 years in the workforce, that had any outlets (free or pay) in or even near the parking lot. Perhaps that will change over time as EVs become more prevalent, but I don't see any evidence of that now around where I live and work in Virginia Beach. (inb4: YMMV)
Using greased loop of coat hanger in place of a broken ball-bearing spacer for the vacuum timing advance inside the distributor of a late 1980s Nissan Z-###. Or did you just mean for computers?
But also problematic, from a usability standpoint. As people that actually work with their hands know, the ability to take a reliable fingerprint can be impeded by blisters, etc. For example, a (long) while ago I had to delay getting my fingerprints taken at NASA because my finger tips were beaten up from recently working around the house and on my car.
One of the many reasons mods are upset is that the employee who was fired was (by all accounts) crucial to the reliability and credibility of AMAs.
Pro Tip: Pay close attention anytime a manager or company says something like "employees are our most valuable asset" or "... are critical to our success" because that's what they look/sound like when they're lying to you.

Government would hate that.
FTFY
ps - why the cap on "conservatives"? RU1?

Leave it to Slashdot to make Microsoft giving 10 million dollars to charity seem like a bad thing...
Look. Charities have a lot things to deal with already, having to use Windows shouldn't be one of them.

" ...conserving the lands and waters on which all life depends, and ensuring that all kindergartners learn 'computer science.' "
How about we start teaching our kindergartners "critical thinking" instead?
Republicans and Conservatives would hate that.
Supersonic Jet Could Fly NYC To London In 3 Hours
Not only could, but did.
2 hours, 52 minutes, 59 seconds, to be precise.

That plane was fucking awesome.

PS: Fracking is being given a totally free pass too!
Frelling too, or are we talking about something else?
Cameron sounds like the Donald Trump of the UK, except scarier - he's already been elected.
Says the guy who wants 99,999 ferraris so he can drive a different one every day.
Because 100,000 would be ridiculous.

Political Correctness teaches us that women CEO's are always great. So we should hire her, right? I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
I know you're making a point satirically, but for those that don't get it I'll answer with two words: Carly Fiorina

First lithium-ion battery fires, now this. What could go wrong?
It is not cost effective to mine bitcoins using electricity from FFs.
Jesus, Firefox now generates electricity too?
Yet. What if that changes? Will Google be allowed to un-delete him? How will they know to do so?

Proxomitron is being developed again?!?
Nope, but it still works on Win7.
It seems like something that would make it much more difficult for ordinary thieves to exploit cell phones. That would seem to be pretty useful.
And much easier for the Police / FBI / etc... to exploit to unlock your phone. That would seem to be pretty useful - for them.

The fingerprinting is far more secure.
But also problematic, from a usability standpoint. As people that actually work with their hands know, the ability to take a reliable fingerprint can be impeded by blisters, etc. For example, a (long) while ago I had to delay getting my fingerprints taken at NASA because my finger tips were beaten up from recently working around the house and on my car.
Please Dice, drop the silly share button and return the read more link, and the read comments link.
Second this, but don't know why, at least, they can't all be displayed?
BTW, I solved this, and the video stories by adding this rule to my Proxomitron config file for "slashdot.org":
Matching expression: </head>
.fhitem-poll { display: none !important; }
.nav-social { display: none !important; }
.popularity { display: none !important; }
Replacement Text:
<style>
</style>

And killed auto audio play using:
Matching Expression: <audio \1 autoplay="*" \2>
Replacement Text: <audio \1 \2>

Chicago, the next Detroit. Funny how the Democrats continue to run cities into the ground.
But leave it to the Republicans to run the entire Country into the ground.
