Agreed fully. Which is why no one should even know he made the donation to begin with. He didnt try and fire any gay people did he? He didnt say they were no longer hiring gay people did he? if not, then leave the man alone

and removing the government from the equation is also wanting equality, the only difference is that removing the government from the equation will mean that the R and D will have one less topic to talk about to keep the masses occupied while they commit their crimes

I think the point was remove those benifits, they are unequal anyway, against single people. Why should married people have benifits that single people cant have? I mean in my head, bringing the single people into the argument is the best way for gay people to get what they want as us single people are being discriminated against equally with the gay community

can we stop using the term privilege for everyone we dont like? It one, is not accurate, Me being white and male , and straight have no special privileges over anyone else, In fact id have more privilege if i were a minority or a woman in the eyes of the government in todays world. 100 years ago you may have been correct but we are living in the now. I cant tell you how many grants that are out there that are ONLY for women or ONLY for women of color. but there are no grants available to ONLY white people or ONLY males.. In the eyes of the government, in 2014, white males are treated as second class citizens.

without context sure those things sound reasonable but lets spin it a bit shall we?

If I contribute 1000 to rid the nusence wildlife ruining peoples yards and homes, its ok, If I donate 1000$ to the cause of forcing people to leave so that the panda can claim your home, its not ok

contribute to ensuring everyone gets a vote, and only 1 vote is ok, contributing to ensure people dont have to prove their are american to vote is not ok

you know what sickens me? people who accuse others of bigotry, racism, and homophobia without having any proof to back it up.

voting for prop 8 while it may be wrong to some people, does not make him a homophobe. I highly doubt he is afraid of gay people.

which is more respectable than someone who just says what they think people want to hear do you not agree?

right, because they would in no way be spinning it as to avoid legal recourse right? Now what is there might very well be the truth, but the way this whole thing has played out, color me skeptical

no, there is not, either we are equal, or we are not. I am sick of this "well some people need extra equality" bullshit

maybe you cant smoke crack and be president, but you sure as hell can sniff coke!
, before entering politics, that he had used marijuana and cocaine ("maybe a little blow"). He said he had not tried heroin because he did not like the pusher who was trying to sell it to him.

today people think its ok to treat "the rich" as "lower class people" Just look at all the assholes in san fran attacking tech workers and slashing tires and whatnot. The way I understand it is that it is not ok to "hate" black, brown, asian, gay, women, it IS ok to "hate" straight, white, male, rich

without seeing internal communications (which if brought to trial would come up) you are correct. But lets be real here, he was forced out

Based on the FBI list lets take a look at who they consider terrorists shall we?

People who are concerned about privacy, and shield the screen from view.
Are seen using multiple cell phones, or sim swapping
use of anonymizers or other IP blockers

Asking about voice and data encryption

Tea party? terrorist
occupy group? terrorist
believe in the constitution? terrorist

and not terrorists, but the FBI considers fans of a band to be gang members. It would be like calling dead heads a gang. The band in question is the insane clown posse

Long story short, anyone on slashdot is a terrorist in the eyes of the FBI

id pay 200 max, and will when it can be had for that

Agreed completely. I am no fan of apple or its walled garden, but this post to me just seems like clickbait. I am sure apple has contributed to projects in the past, just because its not the project the sumbitter wants it to be doesnt make it non existent.
