  1. Re:I like Prince but. on Prince Quietly Helped Launch a Coding Program For Inner City Youth (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    1. A white kid walking around at night in a hoodie looks like a thug also. He does not look like a tech billionaire.

    2. All low income kids need help regardless of race.

    And Prince used his own money to help a certain group of those kids. You got a problem with that?

    I am not an American. I am a Canadian and a first generation immigrant who happens to be "white"

    Nobody cares, brah. You come from a place that would be speaking German right now if it wasn't for Americans. Shut the fuck up.

    Basically, this white privilege stuff is an American invention.

    It's a good thing you went to Canada instead of the US. Up there, it's sparsely populated enough that maybe nobody will notice how pig-ignorant you are.

    At least no small, furry mammals were harmed.

    I'm willing to bet that Apple is built on the bones of many small furry mammals.

    Put up or shut up!

    He's about to put an exciting new product up that pipeline, so brace yourself and try to relax.

  5. Knowing that human life on Mars can at least be possible should give you more hope for the long term future of mankind.

    Or, it can allow you to rationalize further trashing this planet.

    What you're saying is basically, "Knowing that you'll get 27 virgins in the afterlife should give you more hope..."

  6. That condition (of not owning the capital from which one's livelihood ultimately derives) encompasses every employee, serf, and slave that's ever existed, who I'm pretty sure vastly outnumbered their masters, lords, and employers.

    You lack vision. Take the age of capital, employees, serfs and add them all together.

    It's still just a tiny fraction of human history.

    Have a little imagination friend. You may find the future therein. We're going to live to see an age where there simply are not enough tasks to keep all humans in "jobs". Then, we either have to think outside the box or be prepared to be put in one.

  7. presently

    In human history, that "presently" represents a very tiny period of time.

  8. Are they fucking insane?

    They are planning to increase profits by also providing delivery of fertilizer and det cord.

  9. Sometimes that extra trip to the gas station is a drag when all you want to do is go home after a long day at the office.

    And I thought I was a lazy motherfucker. What's next, you gonna wear a diaper so you don't have to make that extra trip to the bathroom?

  10. This doesn't sound so bad. Jobs are overrated.

    No sir, I'm not sticking any spiders up my but. Unh-uh.

  12. Re:That assumes. . . on Marketers Hunger For Data From Wearables (readwrite.com) · · Score: 1

    What I don't get is that most 'wearables' don't have location sensors. A Fitbit or Vivofit may have accelerometers, but they have no GPS and no inertial guidance system.

    Don't these devices pair with mobile phones? I wouldn't know, because if a product has the word "fit" in the name, I avoid it like the plague.

    Slashdot comments are just awful.

    This is the 17th annual Slashdot Old-Timers Day, when the geezers get together to complain about those noisy kids.

    I also assume you are a progressive fag, so dune isn't hip enough for you anyhow.

    Not enough space vaginas kicking ass and killing all the mens.

    Clearly, you never read the Dune saga.

  20. I'm sorry, but Dune doesn't rate in the top 100 science fiction novels. It just does not belong. It's OK, but it's nothing really special.

    Popularity vs Quality is a long-standing debate in the arts, and everyone should read what they like, but Dune has faded badly.

  21. Thanks for answering my question. So the trade secrets would be in the formulas of the alloys? That make sense. I don't know from metallurgy.

    Bathrooms are for prayer and virtuous behavior of other sorts. And most of all, bathrooms are for our kind.
