And don't you remember, long before 2008, the jokes about the new-new-slashdot? It was definitely already a cliche before 2002. I remember because this is my lucid moment before I take my meds, er, heh.
I remember back when reddit was supposed to be the "new slashdot."
That didn't happen, so now they're going to try to be the "new good."
And if facebook makes him despise his "friends," that really says a lot about him and the "friendships" that he has.
I poke my head head in and see what is happening on facebook about once a year, and it is all normal stuff that those people would be doing and saying. Nothing despicable at all. Maybe just stop pretending to be friends with those people, and problem solved?
As for, "the idea of authentic, chill conversation about things that matter," that's just a complete load of hooey. If the things matter, and the context is authentic, that isn't the time to "chill." Like, hey man, you're not going to save the world with a bong hit. What if there is authentic disagreement in the world about actions to take, and the results matter? Seems like time to get serious. If we improved the conversation to make things more constructive, why would they become "chill?" Isn't "chill" something you would only expect to experience inside a bubble with like-minded people in relaxed contexts of little import? What we need is improved arguing with potential for overlap of solutions.
Your post basically says, "Golly, I don't know what all these big words mean, maybe if I make it up none of these dumb slashdotters will ever have read a dictionary?"
If you're going to engage in a No True Scotsman, at least look up the etymology of Scotsman and make yourself worth correcting.
You wave your hands and say "of course," but you didn't even look it up. I stopped reading there, no point in reading your blah-blah that you're making up as you type it if you're not going to bother to look up what you're disagreeing with to check if maybe it was actually correct.;)
I think the question is more like: What rubber chickens do I throw at the new people to make the snobby people feel better about letting in the barbarians?
I remember way back when, before the whippersnappers ruined it, when slashdot was the one place where everybody read the glossary. If I could find my meds I'd go chase them off the lawn!
If you can't adjust your schedule now, and they moved the clocks year round (one or two, doesn't matter) your schedule would just get moved by the same amount of time, for whatever reasons they have it set where it is now. It only works now because of the difference, because people want to have the numbers on their schedule be the same year round. It would just get lowest-common-denominatored into what it is right now without daylight saving time.
If it is actually true that these Montana farmers work by the clock of the Sun, instead of the wall clock, then they still have the exact same number of daylight hours after work either way and having daylight saving time or not doesn't even affect them.
Maybe people should just stop being afraid of the dark?
Math professors are not doing "research" except in a very few exceptional cases. What a load of hooey.
And the scientific method didn't exist yet, so Bruno didn't publish any science. I don't doubt he did research, or that he was a Natural Philosopher. But that doesn't make him a scientist, nor does it make math a science.
There are reasons for the phrase, "math and science." No, it isn't redundant.
Ah, now it makes sense; you don't understand the word "picture" in the sentence, "picture it in your head."
You're just getting hung up over the word and then pretending you can't do the thing, instead of accepting that the word means the thing that you're insisting on calling a "thought construct."
The local cache could be encrypted in place, but use their cloud to decrypt!
I jest, but in seriousness I trust them a lot more than I trust MS. They gave us SE-Linux and things like that in the past. I guess it all depends which team they assign to the project, if you get something that helps you or the other guy. That's better odds than MS gives!
You do not demonstrate comprehension with that statement.
Also, why the racist "Willis" pejorative? Are you saying that the reason you think I'm ignorance, even though you didn't comprehend the flow of the conversation and got lost in the middle, is because of my hair? Or was it my lips?
I'd log in and fix the security settings for my yahoo mail except... I would never give it out, and it hasn't received real mail in many years. They were like gmail, before gmail.
The brand is dead, I don't see much chance of getting resources to fix it. Whatever value yahoo has is in other stuff than email.
Slashdot Mirror
I had the Timex/Sinclair 1000, it was a real challenge to code anything in 2K of RAM. And if you filled it up it just froze.
Luckily, the library had an Apple ][, and pre-internet the library computers didn't have time restrictions.

isn't Reddit about 10x more popular (or more!) than Slashdot??
Madonna is more popular than reddit, but that doesn't make her the new slashdot, either.
Are nerds even supposed to be popular? Where did you get this theory?
"Like, hey man, you're not going to save the world with a bong hit."
How the hell do you know? It's never been tried.
Hey, if you ever make it online try searching for the "1960s."
It didn't work.
They had fun. But it didn't save anything.
Gotta agree.

The scourge of aliteracy is completely separate from the (also disturbing) scourge of alliteracy.
Or as a great leader once said, "Brain brain and brain, what is brain?!"
You wave your hands and say "of course," but you didn't even look it up. I stopped reading there, no point in reading your blah-blah that you're making up as you type it if you're not going to bother to look up what you're disagreeing with to check if maybe it was actually correct. ;)
Why is it usually the pedants that are aliterate these days?

Math teachers aren't scientists, though nothing is stopping a scientist from teaching math.
I figured it meant a different cardboard box every night

Maybe, but if he douches that thing any harder, he'll be on my period!
It only seems like every fucking site on the internet because you cough up what they want every time.
There is a huge information glut. There is more content, I promise you. If you say no to the crap, you end up with better stuff.
While I share the distrust of the browser storage, I also don't trust of the OS or gui system to protect the clipboard.
You do not demonstrate comprehension with that statement.

If an account is taken over and nobody ever tries to log in, does it make a sound?
They're like 1990's Microsoft
