It's not bigoted. You conveniently left out the part where spousal abusers that happen to be female are treated far less harshly than males are. And that the police rarely enforce the law when it's the women that's doing the beating.
Despite the fact that spousal abusers are just as likely to be women and that the abused are just as likely to be men, there are very, very few resources that are available fore men that are in that situation. Trust me on this, I know from personal experience that women can get away with hitting men in public and people don't do anything about it.
Perhaps you should shove your bigoted views so that we can actually get some sort of progress. It's easy to claim the moral high ground when you conveniently pretend to be stupid.
Which is sort of ironic, since you've just proven my point, women are held to a lower standard, and these sorts of ignorant bitchy outbursts just reinforce the idea that women can't form a cogent argument.
Not at all, when men's issues are taken as seriously as women's are in the US, then you can call it a glib interpretation.
Try finding room at a shelter if you're a man that's been abused in general, especially so if the abuser is a woman. Or having to wait in line after the women have had their shot at the local homeless shelter. Good luck getting the police to protect you from an abusive woman. Or how mysteriously 1/5 of boys being sexually abused is conveniently rounded to virtually nothing when 1/3 of girls being molested is rounded up to most. Here's a hint those numbers are probably almost identical, women just don't admit that that happens to men as well.
It's really easy to claim that women are getting an unfair deal when you write off all the things which men have to put up with. Men are subject to conscription when there's a draft, women aren't. Men don't get any say in how a pregnancy turns out, but are still required to pay up in full, even in cases where the woman intentionally got herself pregnant. Including a shockingly common occurrence for her to stick him with the tab fore somebody else's kid.
The bias isn't going to go away until, women as a group decide to grow up and take responsibility for the crap they do to men. Men have taken much more responsibility for what they've done than what women have. Blaming men for things like female insecurity over looks, is just bigoted, that's not something that has anything at all to do with men, that's something that women do to each other.
Not necessarily, the reader might be expensive, but I know that open source text books are starting to catch on. Proffessors are starting to get tired of having to make students shell out hundreds for books that are really only worth $50 tops.
Try reading E-ink in the dark. I don't think you can do that conveniently. Technology always has its draw backs I find it less likely that somebody's going to be studying outside in bright sun, than indoors where there's fewer distractions. Plus, there's any number of sun screens out there, they've been making them for years for graphics professionals.
Umm, my Eee PC is clocked at 900mhz and is pretty tiny. I can assure you that I can do pretty much all the things that one would normally like to do with it. Including watching movies, granted I have to rip them to a SD card because the unit doesn't fit a CDROM, but the playback is quite good. It can definitely handle Ebooks, spreadsheets and word processing with very, very little trouble and cost me something like a hundred dollars less than the Kindle.
I must be missing something since that seems to be everything that most students would need out of a computer.
Being intelligent is different than acting intelligently. Women definitely play down their intelligence, and men let them. Which causes all kinds of havoc like when the women's movement decides that it's OK to not include non-monetary income so that they can claim discrimination or can suggest that equality means that in the more esoteric and technically advanced fields it needs to be 50%. Even if the total degree count ends with them getting twice as many. And pay no attention to the changes in education that "fix" the inequality problem by creating a new inequality that's facing the other way.
Or that despite having more votes than men, it's somehow men's fault that we haven't had a female President and few female Senators. Subscribing to a lower set of standards is convenient when demanding reparations, but it's not the way to actually earn any sort of meaningful respect. What happened to women a century back and earlier has precisely nothing to do with the present day.
Women aren't stupid, but there's a shocking lack of interest in actually using any of it.
It's GPL, rather than the CDDL that Sun licensed ZFS under. Which leads to headaches in terms of mixing and matching it into the kernel source. But really, it's largely a waste of time, since ZFS is available in some form for pretty much all the other major OSes at this point, and BTRFS may never be so widespread.
The declaration was largely meaningless, it was called unstable mainly because of a lack of developer time to ensure that any showstoppers or glitches would be fixed promptly. It was more a matter of developer caution than actual problems with the code. Admittedly there were some problems with parts of the code that did justify the warning, but the warning was going to be staying until the developer felt that the resources were to back claims of stability.
OK, now that's just an outright lie. Every OS has a production period where things are merged in and tested for stability and reliability. Linux code doesn't come out fully formed. On top of that, most of what people think of as Linux is produced independently amongst a large number of projects. I've run current in the past and it was hardly as unstable as you're making it out to be. In fact I've experience periods with Ubuntu where that "stable" release was crashing more frequently than FreeBSD current.
I've run Linux in the past, and it just isn't as good as you say it is. I went through a period where I had to reinstall the entire OS just about every reboot because the filesystem was getting horribly corrupted each time it crashed. I'd have to reboot in the middle of the installation because the Ubuntu installation program couldn't handle partitioning in a sane way without doing so. And at the end of the day, I'd have a hodge podge of programs that made up the userland which may or may not play well with each other next time I updated them for a bug fix.
Yes, Linux isn't an abomination and is perfectly fine for many uses, but it's that sort of insulting crap about the glowing development process that makes me not want to run Linux on any of my computers. It's also a pretty blatant lie that FreeBSD changes more than Linux distros do. Over the decade that I've used FreeBSD, Linux has changed far more, and the changes to FreeBSD have mostly been related to the hardware architecture changes that have gone on, in terms of the userland and things that people actually work with, that's stayed relatively constant over that time.
That requires a citation. Of course Linux is feature rich, it uses a million 3rd party utilities and installs them whether or not you want them. Also, you're going to cite evidence of the statement that Linux is faster if you're going to demand a citation that FreeBSD is faster. Additionally, the BSD license is something that a lot of people view as an advantage, makes it far less of a pain in the ass for companies to help with than the GPL is.
As for btrfs, just let it die, we already have ZFS, Linux has a large number of filesystems supported, but the vast majority of them are pretty mediocre and adding btrfs is pointless when pretty much everybody else seems to be hopping on the ZFS bandwagon. Sure at the moment Apple has pulled ZFS support from being included, but they'll add it eventually. Adding filesystems just to be GPL is an asinine waste of developer talent. Looking at wikipedia's comparison, I'm not seeing anything that btrfs can do which ZFS can't. Definitely nothing worth fragmenting the interoperability for.
Right, there's a couple of ways that it could go, one would potentially be to subatomic particles, another would be to using 1 atom as multiple transistors. Or possibly one could start making the chips themselves larger again. Moore's law itself just speaks to the number of transistors on the chip that can be placed inexpensively in an integrated circuit, not to the size itself. The reason for the shrinking has been that for efficiency reasons you want the path of the electrons to be as short as possible and the larger the chip itself typically the more difficult it is to keep the yield up of highly delicate chip designs.
That being said, since Moore's law isn't an actual law, it will eventually come to an end. On the plus side this has gone so far that when it does come to an end it's likely going to be largely a moot point. As we'll probably end up needing a new law to cover the case when we're dealing with quantum computing. But at anyrate, even the cheap computer in front of me can do a hell of a lot.
You can do that, the catch is that by running the second X Server you can't actually move your windows between monitors. The bright side though is that you can switch the left or the right monitor to a different virtual screen. If anybody has any ideas, I'm somewhat surprised that there isn't an equivalent that lets you switch only one monitor portion of the screen.
Many public defenders make minimum wage, in most parts of the country the constitutional guarantee of representation isn't interpreted to mean that the counsel is competent or even conscious, just that they be present. It depends upon where you are, but in parts of the country that are big on law and order, people do get put to death that are known to be innocent. Because the SCOTUS has been known to rule that being innocent does not grant one a right to not be executed anyway if the appeals have been exhausted.
Sure it was wrong, it was way too soon to be granting custody. It was a 105 year sentence, with time off for good behavior, that would come out to probably around 66 years, He'd only served 10 years of the sentence.
But the real problem is that Huckabee has never taken the issue of clemency seriously the way that most other governors do. He's been known to pardon people for pretty much just saying they've been converted to Christianity without a whole lot more to show. And it was a matter of time before it seriously blew up in somebody's face.
That's not a reasonable analogy. And I'm not surprised that some idiot modded that +5.
As much as we might like to think of pedophiles as being inhuman monsters, they are in fact humans, adult humans in fact. And they are subject to the criminal statutes of the area in which they live. The crime of child pornography is as dissimilar to that example as one might think. Monkey attacks generally just happen, whereas child pornography doesn't happen without child abuse. At this point, I do realize that there's some grey area surrounding comics, but in more traditional forms there's definitely a victim involved.
Additionally, I'm not aware of any way in which humans watching a video of monkey attacks caused more monkeys to attack people. Please explain that causal relation, because I'm stumped.
Nintendo has always been like that, well at least since the days of the NES. Of course they still care about copyright on their games, they insist on making people buy a new copy if they wish to use their old copy on a new console or if the original gets damaged. Sure it's not as evil as what the RIAA and MPAA do, but it's not really that much better. Fortunately for us, MS and Sony don't seem to be quite as bad in that respect, probably because they don't have that much legacy software to resell to people.
Well, some of us don't have any of those new fangled computers, or DVD players. Or CD players. We don't buy any media, so clearly we're pirating the media we don't buy.
And, we know that no black hats will get the malware and re-engineer it to cause harm? Just remember that the first viruses were basically just jokes, it wasn't until later that they went malicious.
Google and MS are businesses that do far more than what Craig's list does. Even just with the software development, it takes far more than 30 people to do that at either company. Let alone the other work of promoting the products and doing the accounting. And even with the staff that MS has the company is probably, if anything, understaffed for the real needs. Had they had far more people working on developing software they'd probably have released there first 32bit only OS a couple years earlier.
You do realize that 8 million isn't really that large of a number, right? The US has somewhere in the number of 300million people at this point. Assuming that it's individual people and that it's once per person, that's still only 2.6% of the populace. As of 2007, there were roughly 4 million people on probation with another 2 million incarcerated and somewhat less than 1 million on parole.
So in other words, even in the most paranoid version of events, the number of people that have been spied upon in this fashion, you're still talking about a tiny fraction of the populace, which just happens to be a similar number to the total number of people that are being supervised by various corrections programs.
I'm not sure how that's necessarily unreasonable. I'm not sure why one would expect for the number of cellphone location requests be lower than the number of known criminals. One would expect a substantial number to be persons of interest that they hope to rule out as a suspect or as a partial means of corroborating an alibi.
Or, you know serve up simple ads that are just a small bit of javascript and a gif or similar image. I don't click on flash ads, in fact I usually don't have flash installed at all, thanks to Adobe for the lack of flash support. It's completely unacceptable that in order to view the ads, that I should have to put up with the slowness, random crashing and ads that roll out randomly covering content.
"TV?" Wasn't that the place the broadcasts shows from torrents for shows like Star Trek, Farscape and Futurama in a convenient home viewing format that I keep hearing about?
