And you've just answered a reasonable analysis of stupid ideas with accusations of "shill". Do you know that your dumb conspiracy ideas lead to yet another conspiracy that you're the shill, design to get people to dismiss how the conspiracy "really" happened?
Gates' career was based on shitting on the industry
Actually it was based on selling a useful product that lots of people wanted. He had a vision and executed. I'm talking about the original BASIC he developed for personal computers. Now it's true he was a corporate cutthroat and attained monopoly position, but you're full of it if you think he did nothing of value.
I found it interesting and informative. Sounds like you want to bash it because he threw some cold water on Musk fanboys.
with some fairly simple and very rambly explanations of how rockets were made 60 years ago
Do you think the basic principles have been thrown out the window? He also showed diagrams from the Falcon 9, the rocket under question, and pinpointed what the failure most likely was. He also brought up the point that SpaceX was cooling their liquid oxygen even colder than normal to get efficiencies, placing extra demands on the structure where the failure likely occurred.
At the end he starts having a go at SpaceX because they are operating differently from how the military and NASA do
Including the point that NASA hadn't had an explosion while fueling in 40 years, as in maybe they figured shit out.
(which is the whole point of privatisation)
He's trying to temper over-enthusiastic fanboys and show that some of the savings by aggressive designs may not be there if you want a reliable and safe rocket to put people into space.
He's a tool with nothing meaningful to add to the public discourse.
That's nice and all, but trying to insert non-monogamous behavior as "normal" for a monogamous relationship doesn't make sense. Good luck with your adventures in cuckolding, anyways.
Any man who marries a woman who already has a kid is basically doing the same thing
There's a difference between taking on an existing kid versus gaining somebody else's kid after you're married. You can still get your own kid, as well as sexual benefits, if you marry into a kid. There's no reason to take on somebody else's kid after you're married that doesn't violate the prime directive.
Look, if you like to watch your wife fuck other men, that's your business, but don't try and justify it as rational behavior.
Shoveling food into your mouth, relying on a split-second mechanism to prevent food from entering the wrong pipe and choking you to death? Thanks, but I'll stick to uploading my consciousness to the Internet.
Take it more for the nostalgia of what the 80s were like in the tech industry and less about real history. And enjoy it - Season 1 didn't get great ratings, but AMC felt it had potential and gave it a season 2. Season 2 had terrible ratings and for some reason or other, AMC renewed it.
Meh, as much as I like tech, these kind of drama shows about tech history don't translate into good entertainment. A documentary like Triump of the Nerds is more informative and entertaining to watch.
My freedom to own you as a slave is imposed on by your freedom not to be a slave.
Being a slave owner involves force over another, making them take actions against their will.
The developer's freedom to release a binary blob without source imposes on the user's freedom to change the functionality of that blob later.
There is no force on the user to accept the binary in the first place. Once they have the binary, they are free to change it as they wish. To require the developer to also release the binary is to force an action on his part.
Freedom involves complex choices. If you believe that isn't true, report to Raqqa as a volunteer slave since you are now imposing on ISIS's freedom and there can't possibly be any contradiction.
And so concludes our Bad Analogy of the Day segment.
Yes they do, but I wasn't talking in particular about the firmware issue, if that's what you mean. I'm talking about the requirement to release source code as an "essential freedom":
The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
People keep saying this, but they have no reason to believe it. You only get prosecuted in a case like this, if they can show that you had intent to trade national secrets.
Look at the vast majority of kooky conspiracy shit and you'll find that an overwhelming preponderance is right-leaning.
From birtherism to anti-vaxxers, most of it comes from the right.
You're blatantly wrong and just showing your own bias and ignorance. As an anti-Obama movement, sure, the "birthers" we're on the right. But anti-vaxxers? You've got people like Jenny McCarthy and Robert Kennedy Jr.
And are you going to tell me the 9/11 "truthers" are right-wing? The moon hoaxers? The chemtrail guys? What does any of this shit and stuff like mind control have to do with left or right wing politics? These are conspiracists, who see conspiracies in everything, no matter who is running the government.
Both Clinton and Trump are terrible and i wont bother to vote because they are just too awful
You know there is a third party candidate who's on the ballot in all 50 states? If there's ever been an election more appropriate to "throw your vote away", it's this one. Gary Johnson, Libertarian candidate, successful two-term governor and pro legalization of pot.
The summary gloms together several parts of a fairly complex story to make a soundbite that sounds outrageous on the surface but really isn't.
It's by "NewYorkCountryLawyer" on Slashdot. I'm shocked, totally shocked, this occurred. It's not like he or Slashdot has some kind of bias in covering copyright infringement cases.
Seems a bit Orwellian to me. Freedom is Slavery, War is Peace, Ignorance is Strength.
Yes, it is Orwellian. That's GPL propaganda for you.
Here's real freedom:
You may copy, modify, and distribute as you please. In other words, what the world would look like without copyright.
Here's GPL "freedom":
You must release your source along with your binary.
Now you may agree or not if that's overall good for society, but that's an argument for consumer protection, not "freedom". For example, I may very well like the idea of government food regulations, but regulation is the exact opposite of freedom.
The only restriction the GPL imposes is to prevent you to take away freedom.
Same old bullshit. Releasing a binary blob without providing source code is not "taking away freedom", yet that is a fundamental part of the GPL. Fuck off with this Slavery is Freedom bullshit.
Ah yes, I should just agree to be assimilated with the Borg 10 Anniversary Edition instead.
I run Linux.
Hardware durability matters to me as well. I'm still running my 2008 Macbook (one graphics repair needed in 8 years, and was done for free out of warranty by Apple)
And it just so happens I'm writing this on a PC from 2008. Again, the cult of Mac is absurd. You think your Macs are built from magical fairy dust.
Or you could just, I dunno, not buy a Mac in the first place and get a nicely specced PC or laptop for a reasonable price, with upgradeable components. The cult of Mac is just absurd.
refuses or willfully neglects, when requested by the Secretary, or by any other authorized officer or employee of the Department of Commerce or bureau or agency thereof acting under the instructions of the Secretary or authorized officer, to answer, to the best of his knowledge, any of the questions on any schedule submitted to him in connection with any census or survey provided for by subchapters I, II, IV, and V of chapter 5 of this title
Constitutional overreach, but what else is new? Last time I filled out the US census I only provided answers to questions to allow them to perform their constitutional duty. A rather aggressive census busybody kept coming to the door, which I did not answer, and he even went so far as to poke around the property and look in the windows, but eventually he gave up.

Look, if you like to watch your wife fuck other men, that's your business, but don't try and justify it as rational behavior.
Plus the wife will enjoy it a lot more than artificial insemination.
Jesus, I let this part breeze past me. So are you for letting somebody cuck your wife or are you offering to cuck somebody else's wife?
You can get a healthier kid by having a healthier male father the kid.
But it won't be your kid, failing the prime directive.
There's a difference between raising a child and fathering a child. Passing on your genes is the prime directive.
If private companies want to invest in an expensive boondoggle, that's fine with me. I just hope they don't fleece taxpayers with these pipe dreams.
You think it's practical and economical to build? Ok, but use your own money, charge a toll, and.... profit!
an historical account...
is correct use of an
No, it's garbage. Would you say, "an house"? Then why would you say, "an historical"?
Shoveling food into your mouth, relying on a split-second mechanism to prevent food from entering the wrong pipe and choking you to death? Thanks, but I'll stick to uploading my consciousness to the Internet.
Except apparently they hadn't researched the precise letter of the law carefully enough.
More likely they knew and didn't give a shit. It's not unusual for these weasels to push boundaries.

Hillary isn't "progressive left". She is, at best, a little left of center.
She pays lip service to the "progressive" left.
The media also isn't labeling the right as angry/bigoted/racist/etc. They've earned those titles through their actions and what they've said.
And you don't think that's there on the left? Either you choose to ignore it or you haven't been paying any attention.
