And what if you increase the speed limit to c? Suddenly everyone will be violating Einstein's corpse?!

Whether you view the fines as a deterrent or a punishment, it makes sense that under a flat-fine structure, rich people will be unaffected by fines that are crippling for poor people to pay.

If a class of people can simply ignore the penalties doled out for breaking a law, that system needs reworking.

There are probably some devils lurking in the details (some very rich people have little income; is spending money a good proxy, some people live just within their means and others save quite a bit, etc etc), but the basic idea seems very sound.

Looks good.

Parent was a self-pitying white person who's upset that they have to wear a suit and have a dumb haircut in order to be taken seriously at their cushy well-paying job (because, honestly, who else wears a suit?). Also, some ladies wear fake tans because being as white as a ghost isn't the most attractive thing ever. I mean it's because of anti-white racism I guess??

The rest of their "fairly cogent counter-rant" was "but not ALL whites," "*I* never lynched a black person, therefore racism don't real," and "Black people are just primitive but I'm not racist for saying that."

Like. That's pretty dang racist, and they aren't gonna magically flip their worldview by talking to me on Slashdot. They don't deserve anything better than a smug look and a snarky comment.

As another queer trans white person - you're totally and completely wrong.

I'm not sure how you think that your anecdotal experience with lack of discrimination for being queer invalidates centuries of racism and oppression, but you need to stay in your lane. Don't talk about shit you don't know about - you're an embarrassment.

"Woe is me, I, a white man, have to wear a suit and have a dumb haircut."

Clearly it is white people who are the real victims here.

Sure we can brute-force it, we'll just spit out a whole bunch of random machine code, and check each set to see if it solves the boolean satisfiability problem, and then see if it solves it in polynomial time. This approach just depends on P == NP being true in order to work. :)

Ah yes, the ever popular nebulous description of "I need to do things."

From your other posts we can see that that means "watch Youtube in fullscreen," which, I admit, is not something that I can do in my inferior infantile browser.

Exactly, I like a browser that gets outta the way and lets me browse the web. If even an infant can grok your UI, you did a pretty dang good job.

You know Mono exists, right?

You might want to see a doctor about that.

You didn't know it was greenwow the whole time? Goodness.

Just yesterday I saw a woman who posted on her Facebook page three times before she jumped. Even if it's not the "usual" case, it still happens.

Because getting a new windows/mac devbox costs like $500. Not porting to Linux can cost you (conceivably) tens of thousands of dollars.

I can't believe you're trying to censor me!! I'll say "Slippery slope" as much as I want, it's my god dang given right as a Patriot of America!
