You've already been really helpful, but would you mind telling me which cable modem you bought? I'm looking at the Orbi 2 system right now and I'll think I'm gonna order it.
And Margaret Sanger was an ardent Feminist while advocating for weeding out the underclass gene. So what? Martin Luther king probably had more pussy than you could ever dream, does that make his propositions any less worthy of discussion? The tactic of deconstructing language and offering up anecdotal and self-defined refutations or using linguist tongue twisting as a tactic to "win" a discussion is absolutely repugnant to the advancement of human knowledge. It is a new low being foisted on the Dunning Krugers so they can feel even more self important and knowledgeable. I actually feel for these throngs of humanity who fall for the classic "New and Improved" platitude. But that nuanced understanding of human behavior and using it for manipulation is what lets sociopaths come to power. Just read history rather than the cliff notes version to arrive at this same conclusion. Wake up and think for yourself. Don't just blindly accept the "What this Story Means" as analyzed and interpreted by reigning unrepresentative experts as they pretend to "discuss" the issue in a televised timeframe. Your own mind is capable of arriving at juat as sound a conclusion, given all the evidence, which unfortunately, is you responsibility to acquire . Read "Public Opinion" by Walter Lippmann sometime on the ease of herding opinion by those so inclined -- or even some of Noam Chomsky on the subject of media manipulation.
Can anyone tell me what this dude is on about? I've read it a couple of times and I've no clue, and I'm published expert at interpreting complex texts.
Thank you. In my town (San Luis Obispo), there is something called "Charter-Spectrum". I'll check them out but they get bad marks for customer service, which is par for every cable company.
Life expectancy is higher for liberals than conservatives? And life expectancy is going down for Red State voters and up for Blue State voters. So it'll all work out for the best.
Hey, this reminds me. I'm moving to the California central coast in a few weeks and I'm not familiar with any of the broadband providers there. I have Comcast at the moment here in Houston, and they're pretty good. I refuse to go back to AT&T DSL because it sucked so bad and I hate AT&T.
There's Charter, and Norwest and DirectTV and some local guys who probably do mostly businesses. Anybody have experience with Charter? Are they OK? Any suggestions for providers?
I haven't RTA, but the summary says absolutely nothing about smart phones. It is talking about mobile phones.
OK, so we're talking about some ultra-low power micro-phone, maybe small enough to fit in your ear like an earbud. That makes more sense.
I'm still not completely convinced about the total safety of RF waves, though. But then again, I'm a high-functioning OCD case and can only drink from a glass in series of four sips. I count steps. I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows. I don't do the hand-washing or weird rituals or anything, so very few people beside my wife know I'm a counter. And now, all of Slashdot, dammit.
I could care less what an employee does on the internet as long as they're getting their job done
If you're using company time and resources to write a 10 page manifesto about why women can't write code, you're probably not getting your job done unless your job is to write for 4chan.
Or... it's annoying and rage-inducing to rational people and we're letting off steam.
So, what you're saying is that men faced with a growing number of women in the workplace, will become enraged whiny ass titty babies and "let off steam" by sniveling?
If you're "letting off steam" by whining and clutching your pearls, you probably aren't really the alpha males you think yourself to be.
I'm not particularly worried about RF radiation affecting my health, but how can ubiquitous RF radiation possibly be strong enough to power a smartphone, while being so weak that it can't possibly affect our health?
Please don't make me have to start walking around in a faraday cage again.
The fact that so many men line up to express outrage and hysteria over every single Slashdot story like this is the best proof that there is a serious need for more women in tech jobs.
If, or more likely, when, Wikileaks releases something false, everyone on the planet will know about it within 5 minutes.
Actually, all those leaks from Wikileaks about Russian incursion into Ukraine and the leaks of Russian cybersecurity malware and the leaks of documents regarding money laundering by Trump and the Russians have turned out to be false.
Oh wait, none of those exist because Wikileaks is a partisan organization that uses illegally-obtained information in a selective manner.
Now, how do you feel about the people leaking stuff from the White House? They've also got a great record.
This is not some "leaked report". New York Times reporting at its finest, trying to drum up controversy where none exists. The report isn't fake. Just the reporting.
So, it's your belief that "leaked" and "publicly available" are mutually exclusive?
Everything on Wikileaks is "leaked" and everything is also publicly available. So a leaked report could also be publicly available.
All this according to a Fox News story. Why would you even believe the "quotes" from the "scientists" are real? The entire thing could have been made up. See? This "fake news" thing can work both ways, and that's the point. We have entered an age where nothing is true and this is by design. This what the entire purpose of all the mentions of "fake news" by the alt-Right and the Trump administration. Make people doubt everything except the words of the leader.
The minute I see someone accusing a story on CNN or MSNBC of being "fake news", it invariably means the story is absolutely 100% true.
The media machine is now pushing "leaked" as a synonym for "definitely true no need to ask questions"
Let me remind you that the story today about North Korea's imminent attack on the United States was also "leaked", but this time it was leaked by the White House on purpose.
We are told that everything that's leaked by Wikileaks is true and good and anything that's leaked to the New York Times is bad and fake.
The "media machine" has always worked on leaks and people talking anonymously and letters slipped under the door. Always. And there's always been bias in the media. There are still 100 year-old newspapers in the United States with the name "Republican" or "Democrat" right at the top. Newspapers in the 1700s were incredibly biased. Much more so than today. William Randolph Hearst started a war for headlines, for chrissake.

Yes. The overwhelming majority of the children of Red voters will grow up to hate their parents and rebel against them, so the trend holds.

Now the SJWs at Facebook don't want me to have my porn and diet pills any more. They should mind their own goddamn business.
This is why Trump won, by the way.
It's actually much nicer than it sounds. And I'm not quite in my twilight years yet. I retired at 50 to run a martial arts school.

I have to disagree. I am a retired university professor, so I am almost certainly God.
Oh geez. I was afraid of that. The more I look at it, the more it appears I don't have any other choice now.

You must be some IT superstar.

I'm not sure bringing up in utero testosterone exposure as a measure of the ability to be a software "engineer" is going to help his case.
Most of us already knew playing action video games was bad for your brain.
