People talk about the typical "ask a question, inflame people" approach of the article, but the real answer is I don't care.
I genuinely just don't care about it. I don't harass anyone, don't care if you're white or black or asian or anything else. I also don't care if CS is discriminatory. If it isn't, good for it. If it is, that's fine too.
If I ate a few servings of fruits and vegetables a day I wouldn't worry about a vitamin. As it stands, I'd probably get both Rickets and Scurvy in a matter of weeks if I didn't eat a multivitamin. Yes, that's an exaggeration but the general point stands.
In the words of 15 year old sarcasm-meisters from 1989, "No Shit Sherlock?". Though I for one welcome the innovation of lasers which are broad enough to simultaneously detonate a bunch of mortars spread out over several hundred feet in 3D space.
You cracked the case, Angela Fucking Lansbury. From now on, any time the government does something to force us to do some inane jackshittery we can all sit around and tut-tut sarcastically about how that silly government makes us not murder one another.
Seriously, do you know what a tool you are?
Government intervention should be a last resort when there is a clear, compelling, and massive social benefit to a majority of the nation. Forcing people to buy LED/CFL bulbs when there is already pricing pressure (the cost of your power bill) to do so is hardly compelling.
Bullshit. Eventually LED bulbs will be almost as cheap as incandescents, or something else will come along that's even cheaper.
But I like your paternalistic arguments, they fascinate me. I say we use them to ban all fast food, all junk food, and to ban elevator and escalator use for anyone not handicapped. Otherwise we'll always be fat and people will always buy cheap junk food.
This old bullshit? You should pick something where the actual best technology lost. Clue: Betamax was inferior to VHS, that's why it lost. Your lot just picks one metric as the only metric to measure VHS vs. Beta, which is an epic historical and technical fail.
Why would he need more than anecdotal evidence? _He's_ the one making the decision, or should be. CFLs have died on me too often sooner than old bulbs. You do understand the numbers they give for longevity are under idealized conditions, right?
I have an idea. How about we charge people who use more power more money? They people who keep buying incandescent bulbs will pay more and have an incentive to switch. Crazy, I know...
Exactly, and nor is it something the Federal govt should be involved with. Airlines are completely capable of deciding for themselves if more people are annoyed or if more people would prefer to be able to use phones.
The FCC's job is to determine if they are safe, so people calling for _them_ to ban them because of the annoyance factors are just assholes.
It's also not the government's job to prevent minor "annoyance" as some piece of bullshit populist legislation. If people are that annoyed the airlines can ban them.
So let me get this straight. 23andme provided you with DNA sequencing and even provided a nice set of data (along with links to the original studies), and you're...mad that they didn't spoon feed it to you and tell you exactly what to do with it?
You'll fit right in with the nanny state, congratulations. Fuck the FDA in this particular instance, their job is not to restrict me from information about myself.
.NET isn't dying, it's still by far the best enterprise and commodity business software development platform. Nothing else even comes close.
As the the MS Stack, being someone who knows something about computers I'd say that means.NET + SQL + Windows Server and associated technologies. Not hard to figure out...
Pedant fail. We humans have a vernacular, and part of that includes "Reverse Discrimination" meaning discrimination that goes the opposite direction of the usual perceived or real discrimination predominant in society.
So don't be an asshole, you didn't score any points.
This is simply not true. Intel has copy-exactly but that does not mean every fab manufacturers products on every process. It means P1272 is the same everywhere, not that every fab has P1274 or whatever the latest is.
VMWare's enterprise focus? Who do you think Gartner is talking to? VMWare and Azure both have mature (well, relatively) solutions that don't require you to basically do it yourself with a bunch of discrete tools that sort of work together.

I'm too busy actually trying to get shit done.

Idiocy. Also, you only do actually run your weed whacker for an hour a week or so, maybe. Your car runs a lot more than that by far.
The laser could target only one mortar at a time,

When exactly did they ban Buggy Whips, you stupid asshole?

Rubbish and bullshit. Station wagons do exist, go look up what a "crossover" is.

Whoever modded this Insightful is fucking retarded. I mean enough already, don't breed and don't engage in moderation on the Internet.
I mean, we're free to choose so why whine about the NSA spying, right? We voted for Dubya, so how dare people complain about the war in Iraq?
"You voted for them" is the refrain from idiots when "their side" is currently in power.
Litecoin. Give me a fucking break.

By the time they tried Windows RT you could get ultra-portables with real processors (x86) for nearly the same price as dumbed down ARM processors.

Rubbish. The margins on manufacturing Apple's chips would be less than manufacturing their own. Apple would be lucky to get 22nm.

Kind of pointless to post this here, you'll mostly just get bad jokes from ca. 2002.
Oh, does it have clippy?! (desperate gaze around room to see who's lauging)
Pfft, they'll probably embrace and extinguish it lolzerlolzers haha lolzers!
Oh, where's monkey boy to announce it! Terr heerrrrp!

Fail. You can use both on your private cloud.
