If computer manufacturers had taken your advice, we'd still all be running machines with 8086 processors.
How many incremental units do you ship because you used the latest new chipset v. downside risk of potential issues with a chip that has not been tested in a full market release?
So how does a chip get a "full-market release" unless the company that is supposed to be the super-premium level S-Rank of personal computing actually uses it?
Please, explain, why one must depend on the other.
Because you're all about the private sector, but want government subsidies for corporations.
You don't see a little problem with that?
See, without government, without regulation, there are no markets, and the private sector would be little more than subsistence farmers. All of those private sector companies that are going to use Capitalism to do research wouldn't do a goddamn thing. Even the very idea of a "corporation" requires government to exist.
Do you want to see a list of technologies that are the result of government-funded research?
- the Human Genome Project - the Internet - GPS - smartphones - supercomputers - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - Shale gas exploration - Artificial intelligence - The Google search engine
As TFA suggests, fellow scientists may be too stifling as well. Go back to what works best — Capitalism. If it seems like there is a chance of it being useful, someone will pay for it.
Sure, as soon as we stop government from giving corporations subsidies in the form of patent protection.
Well I didn't get banned for my opinions. I got some assholes but I just blocked them like an adult.
So, you went through the trouble of getting in line for a gab.ai account, then signing up for an account, then logging in, before enjoying your freedom of speech?
So why not sign up for a Slashdot account and login so your opinion can be taken for more than pure horseshit? You know, like an adult.
Gab promotes free speech and expression for all. It's not a safe space, it's what Twitter should be; but isn't. Moron.
I encourage everyone to go over to gab.ai and check it out. Kick the tires. Enjoy the "free speech and expression" and come back and tell us what you think.
Think you mean Twitter doesn't want you as a customer unless you're willing to drink the kool-aid and engage in ideological groupthink.
No, I mean Twitter doesn't want you specifically as a customer. I'm surprised you haven't already gotten the message. They're telling you, "It's not you, it's me. So GTFO."
Any theories as to why Slashdot attracts so many garbage people? And to be clear, by "garbage people", I mean seriously shitty, messed-up human beings.
How is this guy somehow vindicated by not being the first carrier? He still did every single irresponsible act he did when we believed he was the first.
Nobody believed he was the first until ten years after the fact of his "irresponsible act".
It's been part of the "conservative" orthodoxy for decades that corporations have First Amendment rights and money = speech. Remember, "Corporations are people, my friend"? It's unseemly for them to want to cry now because Democrats have done better under those rules.
I don't remember hearing anything from them when a top Trump donor (or Trump's son-in-law) used their newspaper to push pro-Trump stories, or when the Koch Brothers (and ALEC more broadly) were influencing elections from the national level down to local school boards.
Anytime they want to overturn Citizens United or pass a constitutional amendment asserting that only natural humans have guaranteed civil rights, I'll be glad to start taking them seriously.

Because there are still anti-science jackoffs who try to say smoking is just fine.

You're welcome.

Stop making sense. This is a Slashdot global warming thread. We're all supposed to say science is full of shit.

Apple, get in the fucking sea.

Twitter doesn't want you as a customer. Get over it. There is a safe space for assholes, it's called "gab.ai".

I hope Apple can do better recommending TV shows than they do recommending music.
That you think the Financial Times is part of the "green left" shows that you've got no business pointing out anything to anybody.
But if you can figure out how to swing both the 5 gallon tub of Crisco and the wife, you'll get a lifetime of flaky-crust pies to eat.
You're not supposed to brag about the jeans, you're supposed to brag about not being stupid enough to waste money on a vanity product.
These tests are totally rigged. No mention at all of Netscape Navigator. It's a disgrace.
Much better to be thinking about buying an iron lung than to stop smoking.

No, there are no videos of the event described in this article.
My Slashdot profile bio explains the nickname in great detail and it preceded the Nazi pontiff by many decades.
Lock her up.
Hillary and Elon Galt are best friends. Stop the presses.
You would miss me. Admit it.
Consumer Reports is rigged against Tesla. When I'm president, I will sue everyone who has complained about their unreliable Teslas.
I'm old enough to remember when people said that about Facebook.
