    In the same way that a cowboy 'breaks' an untamed horse.

  2. Yes, the 'true root' of the problem is 'capitalism' but individual employees within a company can still be held accountable and scorned by the community as a whole for their practices at the workplace.

    Bernie's not going to save us. We'll have to save ourselves.

    I am in the process of ditching my gmail account. There are commercial email providers where you can pay $30 for an account where you're not a farm animal in their field.

  3. Re:What the summary sounds like on Television Needs To Be Reinvented, Says Apple SVP (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    When I imagine 'reinventing television' it involves paying Apple for everything and anything I want to watch.

    And that's where you are at, too. You're all over this whole topic like Apple is paying you or something.

    The cat wrangling's coming from dealing with the myriad of rights owners and distributors, as other slashdotters have already said. Bringing everyone and everything into the fold.

    Right. So there is one monolyth that rules it all.

    I would have at least put a gallon in, to assure myself that I would make it to a better station. They probably make less money when you only put a small amount of gas in, because of fixed costs of the transaction.

  8. They failed twice in the server market if you count the SE/30. But it wasn't even designed to be a server. Still, even today that hardware can run current NetBSD.

    Nobody says 'hater' except a Mac zealot or a member of the Church of Scientology.

    Face it, when you start branding people 'hater' you're cocooned into a cult.

  10. Definitely. A few contributors having to cancel and replace their credit cards is worth the full disclosure of the rotten-to-the-core political culture at the DNC. I bet you could even find and interview Republicans who are victims of this particular hack who would agree it's worth it.

    It's all fine. The information released by the DNC hack is quite important. It won't even stop being relevant and worth study after the election.

    If you murder a known-homosexual ambassador in, say, Benghazi, there's no homophobia at all involved, it's about a youtube video.

    (the Benghazi incident happened the week right before Obama's re-election, it made perfect sense for Hillary to provide cover the way she did)

    Do you really want a politician out there who say "I was in favor eugenics in 1936, and I'm not going to change my mind just because it's 2016!"

    You are aware, I hope, that Planned Parenthood and the Abortion Industry for the most part was founded by Eugenicists? The stats even show them following forward with their program. There are a HELL of a lot more black babies aborted than their percentage of the population would suggest.

    The structures for that are all in place and could be easily activated. They are called state governments. All we need to do is dismantle a big chunk of the festering Federal state in D.C.

    No, 'gayness' is an affectation. You can have sex with whomever you want and you don't have to adopt the beliefs of any particular subculture.

    But if you want to posture as a member of an oppressed subculture and get the benefits of belonging to said group, you join up and there's a whole prefab identity waiting for you to put it on.

  22. 'The Fed' is a private entity not under the direct control of any elected government. It cannot and would not possibly be the agency to govern a Basic Income system. If you don't see that as a big ornery skunk right in the middle of the discussion, we really don't have any common basis for discussion.

    No, your brain is not the 'government' of your body, nor does the government act in the way that a brain does. A government, at least THIS government in the USA provides some governing capability, but it is not in command of all of us. It has limited powers by design. Very limited by the intent of it's designers, in fact.

    Piss-poor analogy.

    So for example, post-modern often champions the rights of islamists to not be offended because it wants to avoid western cultural imperialism, even though the islamists are trying to return us to the pre-modern Middle Ages.

    Yes, said 'champions' treat islamists like little feral pets who they hope to tame, given enough time. And that itself is cultural imperialism.

    The whole notion is that 'History has ended' and all we need to do now is sort out the pieces and get everything pointed in the right direction. Utter bullshit, but it's the main thrust of present-day triumphalist liberal Western ideology. Fuck that. Everybody has figured out your gig. Your Final Fix bullshit was attempted by Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, FDR, and Mao (Enver Hoxa, Kim Il Sung, Pol Pot, etc. ) in the last century. We know.

    Twitter wasn't quick enough at censoring those 'bad' people.

    That's gotta be what went wrong!
