Really? So you'd agree to strict laws so that no corporation can ever contribute either money or in kind (goods, airtime,e tc) to any candidate or party?
Great! And that means lobbying is made illegal, also. Sounds great to me.
And shut down Faux "Right-wing Republicans only" News completely, yes?
Since I don't want to see their ads, I didn't read the original.
But: did he even plan the trip with a current map?
I don't own a GPS, nor does my flip-phone do apps. I do have maps, and map books. And the number of times I've gotten lost, driving across the city or across the country, I can count on the fingers of one hand, and have fingers left over.
You don't agree with me? Then I'll wager you're a zombiephone addict. Do you read, and maybe answer texts
while driving?
while eating?
while having sex?
Can you go *anywhere* without it?
Addict.
(And no, I have a flipphone, and no, I do not have it on me most of the day.)
I've come to have a number of issues with that piece of crap.
"A start script is running..." with no timeout, and no clue what's having an issue, and NO WAY to get to the moronic "journal that must absolutely be binary, (to save space?)" because it's still booting.
And targets and services and wants, oh, my. And DBUS all over the freakin' place.
Oh, but it starts SO MUCH FASTER!!! And this matters on *anything* but a laptop or mobile? Why force inappropriate crap onto desktops, workstations, and servers?
And with as much as possible running in parallel during boot, it massively makes it more difficult to debug a boot problem (y'know, like the bloody hour and a half I spent last Thursday on a major server?).
I continually wonder how much M$ paid him, and RH, to make Linux start to look like WinBlows.
Right now, answer: are you, or someone in your immediate family, or your church, RIGHT NOW volunteering to join the military to replace trans folk who will be forced to leave?
Companies - that is, CEOs and upper management - don't want to pay what you're worth. With the collusion of HR, they'll give you a new, fancier title, expect you to do part or all of someone else's job, but no more money, in spite of how many hours they want you to work. And they feel they can call or text you at any time, and would be annoyed if you don't respond quickly.
Maybe there's something *wrong* with this picture?
But, nahhhh, we don't need unions. They're so... working class.
1. Someone mentioned obesity, which does lower fertility. 2. Oh, and need moar guns, gotta protect ourselves against, um, against people who don't live here, who... make sure that we're TERRIFIED, SCARED SHITLESS ALL THE TIME, and that cuts fertility.
3. Finally, it sure looks to me like the studies they did in the sixties and seventies with rats on overpopulation. Once it hits that, you get fewer kids, more craziness, cannibalism... hell, you might have a psychotic elected President!
That having a lifestyle that almost every day, you have anywhere from a quarter ton to half a ton of people slamming into you at maybe 10 mph, and knocking you to the ground, over, and over, and over, could *possibly* cause damage?
How many broken bones? How many smashing shocks to your head a day?
I read a long time ago that the *average* NFL player,, not the superstars, retire after six years with the body of a 59 yr old.
It's not a sport. It's something suitable for blood sports in the Colliseum.
In '94, I was a member of the IEEE computer affiliate, and the Jan, '94 issue of Computer literally presented, including the front cover, OOP as the silver bullet answer to the programming backlog.
Oh, and OO won't ever have null pointer exceptions, etc.
I mean, wasn't ADA the be-all and end-all, and was provably correct?
While you're at it, why don't you do like Jack Williamson's Humanoids, and take away our power tools, and give us ones suitable for 10-yr-olds, and don't let us drive....
Or - I know this is a totally outrageous thought, horrifying to upper management and HR alike - you might HIRE MORE EXPERIENCED PROGRAMMERS, AND PAY THEM WHAT THEY"RE ACTUALLY WORTH, instead of offshoring or hiring "lead" programmers who are on their first or second job out of college.
If he sent them from his.gov email address, then he is writing an official government document. Depending on the content - if it's about State Dept business, then there are records retention rules.
ObDisclosure: I work for a US federal contractor,, civilian sector, and so have had re read and agree to those rules, officially.
Wrong. Jobs went, because the car companies, and others, moved them to the non-union South. Then unions started to come in there, and they moved them offshore.
Come on, why waste money paying Americans good wages, when you can get cheap labor elsewhere, and have more profit and salaries for your execs?
So, slashdotters, how many folks do you personally know (not from reading about them), that are in the 1%? I know one, count 'em.
But the wealthy and the ultrawealthy need still more tax cuts, because they're job creators, right? Where, other than, say, southeast Asia, have they created these jobs? What percentage are good-paying jobs, equivalent to unionized factory jobs in the US used to be?
Mostly, *not*. What are they doing with the money, other than piling it up like Scrooge McDuck? Why are jobs so hard to find (or haven't you actually had to look for one recently)?
They don't want to pay for quality and experience, they'll outsource to someone who'll get rich by paying the "independent contractors" crap, and making them feel Important by giving them deadlines that mean working 60 or 80 hrs/wk, and being on call 24x7.
No, we don't need higher taxes on the wealthy, and on rich companies (Can you say Microsoft? How 'bout Apple?). They might run away to, um, er, let me get back to you on that.
Go watch the video of the woman falling down the open cellar door in the sidewalk. And how many times have you, texting, did or nearly walked into people?
I don't text on my flip-phone, I talk to people....
As I read on Krebs' site, the stupid malware, unlike other malware that generates a unique email to arrange payment, used one, and only one email address. On finding this, the German ISP that the email was on blocked the email.
The result was that if you *wanted* to pay, you couldn't contact the scum to do so.
No, it was some wannabee idiot(s) who put it out there. And I'm still expecting them in court really soon... or "killed resisting arrest", since it sure seemed like Rosneft (that's the Russian mostly state-owned oil giant - think Exxon) was hit, too.
They're asking a ransom of $300 in cryptocurrency, according to Bloomberg.
AND they've hit Europe from Denmark... to Ukraine... to Russia's Rosneft. I expect them in court really soon... assuming that they're not killed resisting arrest.

8088's were 1980. 286's came out in the mid-eighties. 386's were brand new and *expensive* by '87/88. Therefore, 386 is *not* 1980.

Here's one: how 'bout zombiephones keep track of where you are, and pause when you're in the street?
Right now, answer: are you, or someone in your immediate family, or your church, RIGHT NOW volunteering to join the military to replace trans folk who will be forced to leave?
And if you have no one, then STFU.

Where's my 1lb box of salt?
A builshit character in a very, very badly written novel by the somewhere below mediocre novelist Ayn Rand.
Who, btw, lived the last years of her life on Medicare (SOCIALIZED MEDICINE!) and social security (SOCIALISM!)
And the meaning of Galt & Rand comes down to "fuck society, I've got mine, screw you".

Nahh, that'd be a waste of money.
But, but tax cuts for the rich! And money into NASA doesn't give ROI in the next quarter or two!
The GOP don't give a shit about NASA, or the citizens of the US, or the US; the wealthy own them, and they pay them back munificently.

No, this is put "they're Muslims, we don't want them, we read their application the same way that the right-wing slashdotters read the story."
Perhaps it's ok on a mobile device (which I don't own), but it's aggressively hostile to people on actual computers.

Stupid people is right... like you. So you're saying that a first floating windfarm is going to cost about 10 times what gas-fired would.
There's just one thing wrong with your costing: how much will the gas-fired plant pay for fuel per year? Over the next five years?
The windfarm pays NOTHING.
They're asking a ransom of $300 in cryptocurrency, according to Bloomberg.
