I don't. I was just giving a reference because as it happens I had to move a big file from a location that had only wifi to a location that had only bluetooth.
Within the scope of Slashdot readership, I fall more into the gestalt crowd. This means that while I (somewhat) care about things I buy, I don't do research unless I have to.
Good grief, you can't be serious. Whatever your underage drinking habits were, that shouldn't stop you from reading the packaging on a light bulb today. Sorry to be such an ass about it, but I'm going to guess you might be disadvantaged in other key areas, and probably a Trump supporter as well.
The packaging on the lightbulbs I bought said "equivalent to 45 watts" but guess what, they're not. Maybe in terms of power, but in terms of light they're more similar to a prison searchlight.
Also don't bring Trump into this please. It's time to heal.
Meanwhile, I'm going to bet you look at a computer screen on a daily basis even late at night, which should be far more concerning for your eyes than using LEDs or not.
Now you'll probably call me a luddite but all my monitors at home are LCD CCFL because I find those less annoying. They are becoming quite difficult to replace so I'll have to switch to LED soon.
I think this article summarizes what I'm talking about:
A Spanish University researcher in a study published in the journal Photochemistry and Photobiology reported that LED radiation caused “significant damage to human retinal pigment epithelial cells in vitro” and that ongoing exposure from everyday LED sources such as computers, smart phones, TVs and indoor and outdoor lights may damage retinas.
I just want a lamp that doesn't make the room feel like a near-death experience or an alien abduction. I don't want to do a college degree in lightbulbs.
During science class in high school I was usually drinking beer under the bleachers with trailer park girls; it was fun but apparently it leaves me at a disadvantage when it comes to lightbulbs. I'll do some light reading but really until I find a lamp that works I'm anti-LED.
Sounds like I need to be more careful on my next visit to the hardware store. Could be my inner grumpy old man talking but I can't say I'm thrilled to have to learn more specs for something so mundane as lightbulbs.
I have a LED lamp and I hate it. Just like I hate my LED flashlight. LED sucks, it's very bright, I guess it would work well in a surgery room but for home it's awful.
Except in this case, people who pay the bills are venture capital firms, and those don't eat at the Fed trough, they burn their Google/Facebook/Etc billions. Like that poor sap who subdisized Twitter with his Google money before getting stabbed in the back by a homeless dress designer he hired out of pity in the first place (all true, look it up).
Remember how computers were going to get more powerful, how we'd have literally megabytes of storage available?
The problems scale faster than the solutions. For instance, I have a 32GB SD card on my phone, but guess what, that can only store 5 or 6 HD movies, and will probably be barely enough for the trailer of a 4k movie. By the time storage catches up, I will still only be able to store 5 or 6 movies in a 5-year old format and 0.1 movie in the newest format on a phone. Progress much.
The Web is packed with thousands of great inventions and solutions that you never will see.
Wrong. The Web is packed with conspiracy theorists who don't understand why some "great inventions" are not practical. We've heard this bullshit for decades about electric cars and it took a billionaire with balls of steel and no fear of bankruptcy to make it happen. And yet they're barely making a profit nowadays after years of losing money to the tune of 1 billion per year.
Get real. There's no mysterious stash of brilliant inventions that got "scrubbed" from the web by nefarious agents. There's tons of unrealistic, not cost-effective ideas and only one Elon Musk, that's the real problem.
Really? Let's follow your logic for a minute. Let's say for instance that all illegal immigrants in the USA become official citizens today. What do you do with the illegal immigrants that arrive tomorrow (since of course building walls to keep them out is hate)? You also give them a passport? What about those who arrive next week, next month, next year? Surely you can't be of the opinion that today's illegal immigrants are better persons than tomorrow's, otherwise that would be hate, so how do you solve this problem? You let anyone become an American citizen, with no control?
But illegals are a drop in the bucket. Last year 15 million people entered the green card lottery. That's twice the population of NYC. So according to you, since immigration control is hate, those people must be automatically allowed to become citizens. What is your strategy to accommodate this volume of newcomers? How can you even print and hand over that many passports? Where will those people sleep? What will they eat? Where will they work? And that's just year 1, there's gonna be 15 millions more the following year, and then the following.
See, the problem with virtuous statements like "immigration control is hate" is that they don't offer a viable alternative, they don't provide realistic solutions as to where the line should be drawn and how. So why don't you do everyone a favor and teach us your brilliant strategy to end immigration control in an effective way?
Yes and I was born yesterday. WTF is wrong with you? I know there are some shameless liars in this place but I never expected one had been hanging around for so long.
Lowering yourself that far to defend against a joke? What a piece of work you are.
Don't be a sore loser. I got you to search Wikipedia in a state of frenzy because you just couldn't believe that Miller won a gold medal - it's impossible for you to control your anti-American bias. That's the takeaway here.
Your post is like a graffiti minus the artistic skills. It's too bad though that you didn't add an unexpected element of punctuation, such as a question mark; it would have made for a much deeper statement. Something to keep in mind for the next time you are overwhelmed by your emotions.
What's to stop them from writing in the manual, "purchase and install Comprehensive Assembly #012934" and selling that part which is basically a replacement for the entire unit?
What you're describing is using a RaW (Rules as Written) legal strategy, and in the context of this type of legislation, this is usually not a winning approach because it clearly contradict the intent of the law. A RaW approach is better suited to administrative matters, such as a DMV dispute.
i think the point of a Code of Conduct is to have a baseline to kick someone out if they're being undesirable. It's similar to having an acceptable internet usage policy at work; the point is not to prevent people from checking Facebook during work hours, it's to give yourself some ammo in case you want to get rid of someone for some other reason. (ex: "On July 6, you broke rule 212.1 by visiting Reddit during work hours, so you're fired - although what we really don't like about you is that you f*cked the CEO's daughter and wiped yourself on his MBA diploma").
That's how they got Martha Stewart, by the way. She didn't go to jail for insider trading, she went to jail for lying to federal officers who were investigating her insider trading activities.
One of the best programmers I know was also a drunk, and without even looking at the commit time I could tell by his code whether he wrote it before or after lunch (when he would down a few pints of beer daily).
I say "was" because he's no longer a good programmer. The booze won.
Oh wait a minute, the link says the category of "Best American-Style Light Lager" but you cut that out of the middle of your quote.
Yes, I did that on purpose to offer you the joyful experience of confirming that Miller is not, after all, a world-class beer.
Just think of that blessed moment between reading my quote and finding out how misleading it was. That curiosity, that incredulity that was nagging you, and the fulfilling relief of finding out that your hunch was correct. None of that would have happened if I had pasted the full quote.
So they need Open Source Guides to explain how to get involved in Open Source, and yet they want people to jump into writing those Open Source Open Source Guides without any kind of introduction to Open Source?
If they really want to get this "Open Source water cooler" going, someone should get started on Open Source Open Source Open Source Guides to writing Open Source Open Source Guides about Open Source.
Don't need anyone to know about my fetish for midget unicorn porn.
Wait a minute. I thought "fetish" was bound to items of clothing or body parts. Are you... wearing midget unicorns? Is that a new thing? Someone should start a twitter of porn so we can keep up with trends.

Wtf are you downloading 4k movies for your phone?
I don't. I was just giving a reference because as it happens I had to move a big file from a location that had only wifi to a location that had only bluetooth.
If you care even the slightest bit about any of the things you buy, you do a little research.
I see that you haven't read your classics:

That's the impression LED lights give me. Too bright, blinding, unhealthy. But again maybe I bought the wrong kind.
I just want a lamp that doesn't make the room feel like a near-death experience or an alien abduction. I don't want to do a college degree in lightbulbs.

Immigrate control=hate.
