For fuck's sake people, you don't have to work for a company to like their products.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it's a duck. If a comment looks like it was cut and pasted from marketing materials, it's almost certainly a company employee. When someone praises a product that's universally derided, well... substitute Yugo for Zune. Yugo desktop software are all Yugo products that use the Metro design that are not meant for small trucks. In particular, the Yugo is an example of a great metro car
You're the first non-cyclist I've ever seen who defended them. Only a tiny few follow the rules of the road but they all bitch about automobile drivers. What pisses drivers off about cyclists is most don't want to run over the idiots.
Runners are worse. They get that endorphin high (exactly the same as heroin, heroin only works because it fits endorphin receptors) and are oblivious to everything. I can't count the times I've had to slam on the brakes to keep from hitting one of these drug-addled idiots blindly running out from behind a UPS truck.
I hate driving. There are way too many stupid people on the road on foot, on cycles, and in cars. The only sane people I see are motorcyclists, and even some of those drive like morons.
If you click "file" the file menu opens, but if the mouse cursor passes over "edit" the file menu closes and the edit menu opens. If I wanted the edit menu that's what I would have clicked. With the old way, the file menu stays open until you click somewhere.
Just because a person's nice doesn't mean he or she doesn't get pissed off when someone else is an asshole. Automobile drivers get pissed at cyclists because you goddamned bicycle riders won't follow the fucking rules! Worse, you almost never get pulled over for your stupidities.
To a cyclist, you drive on the wrong side of the road, even though the law sayd not to. You may slow down at a red light or stop sign, but stop? Hell no. Pass on the shoulder, etc.
You know, if cops would enforce the rules of the road when dealing with you assholes you'ld start obeying the goddamned rules and drivers would stop hating you.
Don't expect people to be nice when you're an asshole.
Columbus sailed west in search of a shorter route to India, and since he thought he'd landed in India of course they named the natives "Indians". I have no idea why the name stuck after they discovered their mistake.
And there are no native Martians; not yet. The first generation born there will be native Martians.
Like right now we're at "HOLY FUCK WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!", which means there's only a small chance for war.
Your post made me think of an old song, which I'll mangle here to bring it to the 21st century:
Well, come on all you big strong men, Uncle Sam needs your help again. Got himself in a terrible jam Way out East out in Iran Put down your books and pick up a gun We're gonna have a whole lot of fun.
And it's 1, 2, 3, what are we fightin' for? Don't ask me I don't give a damn It's just like Vietnam. And it's 5, 6, 7, open up the pearly gates. Well, there ain't no time to wonder why. Whoopie! We're all gonna die!
Well come on wall street don't be slow It's war a go go. There's plenty of money to be made Supplyin' the army with the tools of the trade. Just be sure that when they drop the bomb They drop it right on Iran.
And it's 1, 2, 3, what are we fightin' for? Don't ask me I don't give a damn It's just like Vietnam. And it's 5, 6, 7, open up the pearly gates. Well, there ain't no time to wonder why. Whoopie! We're all gonna die!
Well, come on, mothers throughout the land Pack your boys off to Iran Don't be slow, don't hesitate, Pack your boys off before it's too late. Be the fisrt ones on your blocks To have your boy come home in a box!
And it's 1, 2, 3, what are we fightin' for? Don't ask me I don't give a damn It's just like Vietnam. And it's 5, 6, 7, open up the pearly gates. Well, there ain't no time to wonder why. Whoopie! We're all gonna die!
The term "bastard" has become pretty meaningless with so many unmarried couples living as if they were married these days. But in the not distant past (within my lifetime) the norm was two married parents with one breadwinner. The single moms who were never married cared not about society, what people thought, mores, or manners passed that lack of values to their bastard children.
These days the legitimate children have learned from the ever increasing number of bastards that they should act like bastards themselves, because "nice guys finish last."
Listen up all you fucking bastards, it isn't a race or a contest. Anyone who calls anyone else a "loser" is an antisocial bastard who should be ostracised like antisocial bastards used to be.
time around it can be for copy write infringements.
I vote we send people too stupid to know that it's "copyright" and not "copy write". Jesus, you would think a place like slashdot would have posters who were a little better educated than junior high level, people who actually read once in a while.
Does this mean that all those times I've thought people were being nasty they were either being ignorant or incompetent?
It most likely means that you, yourself came across as a rude asshole. Most people are, in fact, nice, but very few are nice to people who aren't nice. That's human nature, too.
This is just designed to scare people (for whatever reason) into thinking war is more probable than it really is.
Oil companies would love for us to go to war with Iran, but the threat itself will do. Gasoline prices going through the roof lines their pockets, and they don't give a rat's as that it will destroy the already fragile recovery of a recession that was caused mostly by gasoline prices. $1.05 here when oil man Bush took office in 2000, $4.65 when the economy collapsed eight years later. That money that goes in the gas tank is money that doesn't go to the clothing store or restaraunt.
There are other people who would benefit from another collapse of the economy -- those who want to inhabit the White House or be elected to Congress. High gasoline prices are Obama's biggest threat right now, and America's as well.
Yes, it is. And "never the less" is a perfectly correct three word synonym that predates "nevertheless". I would imagine the first time someone used the word "nevertheless" a grammar pedant took him to task of it.
It's not in TFA or even TFS, and its use doesn't change the meaning of the sentence or slow one's reading speed or comprehension like substituting "loose" for "lose" does, so what's the problem?
Oswald, you really should read a lot less science fiction and a lot more nonfiction. If you're going for "funny" you failed miserably.
That goes for the idiots that modded you "insightful" as well. A robot does not have emotions. A robot can not think. It's a mindless machine, and the only thing that makes it look like it's intelligent or sentient or having emotions is clever programming and anthropomorphism.
That sex bot wouldn't care if you were President Obama, a movie star, or a fat alcoholic who hadn't bathed in a month. It wouldn't care. It's incapable of caring.
Sheesh, doesn't anybody here understand how computers work?
You can't teach a robot anything. Robots are incapable of learning. Robots can't think. You program a robot. You no more "teach" a robot than you "teach" a computer. Even the IBM computer wasn't "taught" the facts it needed to win Jeapordy, those facts were programmed into a database. Watson does NOT think.
And what does "peak down her browse" mean? That really looks like a racial slur by a semiliterate.
Two things wrong with your observation: first, it's simply not true. "And obviously, when the chance of revenge is low, (the victim is anonymous or outnumbered) all humans behave badly" is false. Many will but most won't. Now, if you were to mean "behaving badly" whan "badly" is defined by some authority but is defined by that person's own morals as "nothing wrong with that", then yes. But that's not the example you gave.
That is how most other species act. Unfortunately too many of our own species are less human than some member of the "animal kingdom".
Secondly, your comment is sexist and misogynist, saying "she" rather than "he or she" or "(s)he", as well as mysandrist, having the violent cave man steal the food.
There is actually a weapons and stranger-danger video about that
*sigh* a propaganda video using cave men, how cute. And how incredibly stupid.
I would not want to know you IRL, Ms or Mr anonymous cowardly hateful person. I'll bet you're a lawyer or work for the RIAA.
That seems self-evident until you think about it. It's perfectly legal for me to tell you to fuck off, it's perfectly legal for me to have sex with your wife as long as she's ok with it and I don't pay her, no statute makes young people call me "sir" (it astounds me that they do), it's not a crime to let the door slam behind me rather than holding it open for you. These things are all a part of whether you're being "nice" or not.
OTOH, look at the violence alcohol prohibition (and today, drug prohibition) wrought. Being nice has nothing whatever to do with legalisms.
I know that a sample of one is insignifigant, but my dad was a lineman working with voltages up to 90k. He could not wear a wristwatch unless it was completely made of non-ferrous material, because when he put it on after work, an hour later it stopped. Apparently his hemoglobin was magnetized. Yet he's now 80 and still in good health.
I wouldn't worry about the magnetic fields. Apparently having your blood megnetized is harmless.
Of course, the fact that his uncle started smoking cigarettes at age 12, quit at age 82 and lived ten more years illustrates that a sample of one is indeed insignifigant and perhaps meaningless. Me, I'd risk magnetic blood for a chance to go to outer space anyway, as I have half of dad's genes.
Because some people deserve only death for what they've done
You know, I can't understand the "death penalty" thing at all. Death is no penalty -- we are all under a death sentence, every one of us. But when you or I die, it is very unlikely that you're going to die peacefully in your sleep. You're going to have cancer, or a heart attack, or pneumonia, or alzheimer's, or fall down in the nursing home and break your hip after suffering from arthritis for decades.
Timothy McVeigh, however, who killed hundreds of people, many of them children, knew exactly when he was going to die and how he was going to die, and had a chance to repent his evil deeds and make peace with his maker (McVeigh was a Catholic). Then he was painlessly put to sleep like a beloved pet with an incurable disease.
I say fuck the bleeding heart conservatives. Someone commits an atrocity, keep them locked in a cage, until they die as horribly and unexpectedly as I surely will. I consider that a good expenditure of my tax dollars.
As well as what you said; Illinois abolished the death penalty when DNA proved that half of death row were innocent. Over half of all prisoners in the US are nonviolent and were incarcerated for drugs, half of those for marijuana. Now THAT is a serious waste of tax money.
Here's a single example of a terrible waste inolving an old friend's brother.
There was a dope dealer in Cahokia, IL who deserved prison; he was also a theif, and violent. He sold every drug there was, including steroids and heroin. After 20 years dealing dope he finally got caught. Of course, the feds offered him a deal.
So Mike's brother, who didn't even smoke pot, let alone sell drugs, gets a call from Radford (the dope dealer). Radford needed money to make a purchase and if Mike's brother would loan him a thousand bucks he'd get two thousand back in a week. Loan a guy a thousand bucks at 100% weekly interest? Of course he did. he had the money, he made a good living as a truck mechanic.
And of course it was a setup, and the DEA's tape recorders were rolling. Mike's brother, who had never had any connection with the drug trade in his life whatever, not even as a customer. spent five years in federal prison for conspiracy to distribute cocaine. As did half of his high school graduation class, most of whom were likewise innocent before the setup.
Radford, who'd been the town's biggest dope dealer for two decades, spent two years in prison.
Mike's brother's wife divorced him when he was in prison and married another man. He's now unemployable and a hard core alcoholic and yes, now is a doper himself.
Anybody who doesn't think the justice system is severely dysfunctional in the US is either ignorant or delusional.
Its nature telling you (by making you feel bad) that punching that dude is a risky strategy for yourself.
No. Morality is knowing what HE feels like when you punch him. Without empathy there is no morality. Having no empathy is a mental disorder called sociopathy. We evolved to feel for our fellow humans because we are so weak individually yet so strong in groups. No way a single man with only a spear can kill a bison, but put the whole tribe together at the task and the bison has no chance.
Without empathy we could have no social structures whatever, it would indeed be the law of the jungle. And you alone against bears and wolves have no chance at survival.
Without empathy we would have become extinct before the spear was invented.
Reminds me of the old Microsoft "PlaysForSure" music store, or whatever it was called. None of those play at all any more, of course, Microsoft abandoned the format.
Well, anyone with half a brain knew it was a scam. MP3s and oggs play for sure, as does any non-DRM content. DRM always means "plays for a limited time, if you're lucky."
American citizens are being disappeared by the government on a daily basis. Apparently either their friends and family never notice or Big Media is in on it and so you never see a story about it
People do disappear on a daily basis. Hell, my friend Amy disappears all the time, her husband calling me to ask if I've seen her. Many of those who disappear are never found. If only one out of the hundreds of people who disappear daily were taken by the government, how would their families and friends know? All they know is "uncle John disappeared" and that his gangster friends probably did it.
Ever notice that you quite often hear reports on the national news about some young mother disappearing, but never about an old man missing? Who cares if some forty year old black man disappears, a young pretty white mother or two, however... You can't rely on the media.
However, I personally doubt that many if any at all of the missing were kidnapped by the government.
It's part of his religion -- he worships money. The conditions many illegal aliens work in here in the USA are a good example; it's in many cases defacto slavery. Nobody with any hint of empathy for their fellow humans would treat anyone like that. But their little green god demands it, and they obey. To them, when it concerns amassing wealth, the ends always justify the means.
You are right, in my opinion. They are scum. However, in their opinion, we are fools.
