  1. Re:Also important to read Penny Arcade take on TechCrunch and Others On the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Ive noticed this over the past 5 years or so that more and more pro quality tools are being designed for windows only. I havent figured out the reaosn why, Id argue licensing as Im sure apple wants their 30% cut so people just starting making the hardware for windows because the software tools are now up on par with what apple has had for so long

    I have friends who can paint an image from memory that is just as good as any photo ive ever seen. how does that play in here??

    the paying customers require that service as part of what they have paid for.

    did you buy a support contract with your product? If not, then for the most part no, they dont have any obligation to you after point of sale.

    facebook came about without the government. no facebook was not created by the government. And once again, simply having an all white (or black or mexican) workforce != racist

  6. Re:Stupid is as stupid does on Facebook Refuses To Share Employee Race and Gender Data · · Score: 1

    because it undoes generations' worth of racism that today manifests itself in socio-economic status.

    One could also argue that it breeds even more racism. Think about it. If you were the 5th best to pass the entrance exam, and they are taking 5 people total thats great right? well unless you are a white male, then instead of taking the top 5, they take the top 2, 12th 27th and 35th, taking the first woman, latino and black person, eventhough you scored higher than them, you dont get the job or promotion due to the new systematic racism (AKA affirmative action) That might make you feel a little racist towards those groups based on that experience. This is an experience felt by quite a few people these days

  7. Re:One drop rule? on Facebook Refuses To Share Employee Race and Gender Data · · Score: 1

    if "countering systematic discrimination" means hiring less qualified people over more qualified people because of their gender or race, thats not their business, that is in fact discrimination. All we have done is replace one form of discrimination with another from.

    probably. I currently have verizon, and I get unlimited calls and text, but limited data (family plan that im not in charge of, verizon talked my dad into "upgrading" IE losing unlimited data) I can see verizon counting the call data as data and still insisting that you have unlimited calling

    i can understand that. On the one hand, I dont care if the person suffers and i personally think they should suffer for their crimes. Having said that I know most people dont agree with me and figure that nitrogen would be a nice in the middle of the road thing.

    Ive always wondered the same thing. If I had to take a guess id say the reason we dont use gas (eventhough nitrogen would be the most humane way to go if you ask me) has to do with the Holocaust. Im sure people would bitch and moan that the gas chambers are a throwback to nazi germany and therefore cant be used. I have no proof of this, but its the only reasonable(not really though) argument I can think of

    look in the mirror. Its people who like to treat everyone else who believes in a god as someone who needs to just go and kill themselves already make it harder on people like us who just want to be left alone to live our lives.

    HC is not high because of that, id wager that is small potatoes on what is the real reason for high costs. Government intrusion

    Never use logic to argue with a Democrat. They continue with the line that anybody who isn't hard left wing anti corporation anti union nutjob is somehow Racist. They question the legitimacy of anybody who isn't them, and there's relatively little one can do about it because changing somebody's mind requires that they have the ability to think in the first place.

    2 sides of the same coin - stop playing one on the other

  21. Re:Hope and change! on White House Pressures Legislators Into Gutting USA FREEDOM Act · · Score: 1

    we got HC - which is broken according to anyone who has anything to do with it, it cost us as much as the 2 wars did and arguably is causing more problems then before implementation. Not to mention new taxes imposed on americans who choose not to participate in the scam

    we killed bin laden. ok thats great, and what has that done for us? Hell we couldnt even see the proof that it even happened! and we still got attacked in boston eventhough we were told about the bomber by other countries. Bin laden was a pawn in the larger game called jihad

    we stopped insulting every other country? ok, and instead now they all insult us based on the information that snowden leaked, on top of all that there is the issue of us not having any balls on the international level anymore. we just straight up allowed russia to invade another country and take some of its land and we didnt do jack shit about it (the sanctions imposed are a joke)

    if the democrats consider this a big success, Id hate to see what you call a failure

  22. Re:What does Obama know that we don't? on White House Pressures Legislators Into Gutting USA FREEDOM Act · · Score: 1

    there really wasnt much of a change in reality. the only difference is th posturing involved. Pre president obama LOVED to talk about how X is bad and Y is wrong, but when it came time to vote, he voted present, rather than pick a side over 100 different times. The things obama said back then (raising the debt ceiling is unamerican) definitely go against what he has done since taking office
