Why not skip YASTS (Yet another star trek series) and bring back Firefly?
Is it a little surprising none of the recent young-enough-to-love-it billionaires hasn't funded it as a vanity project? It may cost $1.5M per episode, but it would make back a chunk of that in its initial release, plus international distribution, and streaming revenues for decades.
Plus, make your enemies rage by becoming a nerd folk hero.
Stop repeating shit you overhear elsewhere and maybe actually read the LKML for a while. It would make you appear much less stupid.
I'm comfortable in my moron status. Feel all better now? But that doesn't change the negative effect on project contributors caused by treating them like human garbage. Some may disagree, and perhaps they suffer from a similar rage-based egocentric personality disorder. Life's too short to work with them on purpose.
There are other ways to lead, and better ways to promote excellence in a group. "Asshole-centric Leadership-by-Insult" is a non-starter, possibly a non-sequitur, for many.
TOS wasn't pro-hippie in that it recognized the importance of duty and responsibility and the complexities of life, but it was pro-equality, pro-egalitarian, anti-discriminatory.
Once again this drivel from a worshipper of The Church of Invisible Hands and Shrugging Atlases.
I do agree that laws are not always for the best. But there ends our agreement. The worst laws are those bought by "whole multibillion-dollar industr[ies]". The shrugging (should I say bribing?) Atlases.
OT: It will be great when such opinions, though in conflict with my own, can be safely posted non-AC with no fear of downmoddding vengeance. Nevertheless, I think you've honestly missed the point of TFA, or at least the fine summary.
The fact that tech outruns the bureaucracy is, on average, a very good thing. Especially true in parts of the world where rulers are desperate for tight control of every individual's access to information, free market innovations, and the basic human right to live their lives unfettered (unless they interfere with others' similar rights.)
I don't understand the concept that if I have a loaf of bread, that I worked all day for, I should have thugs with guns come and steal 1/2 of it for the guy that didn't work.
Speaking of that, can you get some honey wheat or sourdough next time? This rye isn't bad, but hey, a little variety? Thanks, dude!

I imagine these days the entire crew will be LGBT, and female.
I think there's a, um, let's call it , 'fan-fiction' version of that. Star Trek: The NeXXXt Generation.

75% chance there will be an outwardly Gay character or maybe an alien who is all three sexes at once.
Kinda been there and done that in 1992. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
It will Abrams Trek, so we'll have lens flair and quick cuts so bad that the show will have a warning "Can cause seizures and brain damage"
Meesah loving Wesley Crusher!
Are you implying Wesley was a covert operative of Species 8472, analogous to Darth Jar-Jar ? https://np.reddit.com/r/StarWa...

And ST:TNG could be, um... like this

Oh, myyyy.
Linus Rants.
I would honestly love to see a biography that was based around his rants. It'd be an awesome read, I'm sure.

True enough. Besides, there's not enough material for a book, "Linus Calmly & Respectfully Discusses."

FBIFM to criticize branding, but they started by choosing a brand that sounds like it was ripped straight from a pedo-porn movie.
What? Wait. Is it just me? It's just me, isn't it?

Shop elsewhere. Next topic.
"all citizens would be paid a tactless benefit sum free of charge by the government"
But gee, where does the government get that money from?
A printing press?
Let's face it, who wants to pick up the trash ?
Ooooh, I think I know this one: Uber drivers working the Jersey shore?

Did you feel an urge to also argue about it?
That is on par with assigning an ip to your bidet, logging in to FB through it, then posting updates while using it.
Hey, it's my first attempt at a blog, ok?
It looks like "academic freedom" doesn't mean what it used to mean. We live in a truly Orwellian society.
Freedom is a prison, brother.
Headline edit: "Google Wants To Monitor."
Certainly google's servers would burst into flames with the mental health states routinely on display here.
You must be one of those Kenyan-president-supporting Windows-using Uber-critic anarchofacist one world truther slashdot users... and a Mets fan..
If you're using Google, a known privacy invasion vector, on purpose... you're crazy.

No, they'll keep the device, beat and rape you, then illegally hold you without charging you anything and without granting you access to a lawyer.
So that's the title of the sequel: 50 Shades of Grey on the Border
You would get an email explaining that the service interruption was a feature and your bill will go up by $22.50 from now on.
"It's a feature to proactively keep you below your throttling limit. You. Are. Welcome."
Which continent are they thinking of moving to?
Hell, based on some specific instructions I heard from other Europeans.
