hey, I think it's great that these particular crazies have a town to move to. I mean, to voluntarily live under radio silence already takes a special kind of person. This seems like really good news.
I'd love to see more towns concentrate all the gluten-free or GMO-free or nut-free or chemtrail-free or DHMO-free people. I suppose I should clarify 'tree nuts' to disambiguate word overloading on this story.
If the hardware doesn't work with default Windows or Linux distribution, it's shit. (think clean install).
Dude, we gave up interfacing everything through BIOS before the 80's were done. I recently installed an Intel NUC for the parental units with CentOS 7 and the WiFi didn't work until I had applied updates and installed the firmware package, and that's completely OK for new hardware. Hard-burned ROM's are extinct.
You're asking for a world without progress. Between that and Samsung's attitude here, it's no wonder people wind up sucking it up and buying Apple; they win when everybody else fails.
At least Samsung has their Chromebook line to show them it's not impossible to make a passingly-competent OS.
oh
I'm sure his music was competent but it wasn't memorable. The masters can make them both. I could hum the tune of Jurassic Park, Superman, or Indiana Jones any day, but Avatar, Krull, or Wrath of Khan? No, sorry - no recall. I have a handful of movie soundtracks in my collection and Horner isn't on any of the labels. Sad news, still.
SLAAC is good for dynamic address configuration and DHCP is good for the other hundred-ish host configuration variables, right?
Why the government, because of least they will prosecute scam artists when they get caught cheating government welfare
Government *is* the scam artist, at least in the USA. A good charity gets over 80% of its revenue to the people who need the money/services (less than 20% overhead is the required expense ratio for a serious charity).
Government averages 27% going to those in need - all the rest is consumed by the parasites in "the system". It's the least able in the society who suffer due to their repugnant greed.
Because of the parents
Right. </thread> . Girls don't really care about gendered toys, but the parents are fully programmed.
Shopping habits might tend to affect selection as well. The way I shop for toys is to type something into Amazon, or browse one of the toy sites by functional category. Over the past decade I've been in Toys R Us once, maybe twice, to redeem a gift certificate.
The existence of these toys indicates that there are many parents who first click on 'Girls' Toys' as their entree into the shopping ecosystem. So, if STEM toys are going to get into the hands of the girls, they have to be on the results list, or in the aisles that are being shopped. It's a crappy system, but we don't get to insist that the world conforms to our ideals.
Q. How do you determine a biased news service? A. Be a discerning reader/viewer.
Right!
Q. How do you deal with a biased news service? A. You don't - it just encourages them. Redirect your views to an unbiased news service.
Oooh
You can if you have enough money to buy the legal process.
The entire point of those "processes" is to privitize gains and subsidize losses (sorry. privitise and subsidise for this story). Yeah, the people who run those rackets will tell you otherwise - that's why reason and evidence are the arms of a successful
"ban this, ban that" - as if you have so much more information than everybody else in the market what will work best. That takes gumption.
Sadly, there's zero chance any of this will ever happen because our government operates solely in the interests of big business, not what's best for the general public.
Well, yeah - that's the whole point - to protect them from competition. What do you think campaign donations are for?
And the answer, like it or not, is regulation.
Or, you know, let more airlines into the market and have them compete for customers. Oh, hells, no, that could never work. They should start regulating websites too, to improve the crappy CSS of sites like this.
additional mandates like this without direction from Congress
Oh, was *today* the day that we were going to go back to Rule-of-Law in this country?
".. our PREFERRED plan is to LICENSE
Hey, don't you remember when the Ruby guys filed a lawsuit in Federal Court against the Perl guys for stealing their innovations?
No, wait
?OTRv2?
You mean NEOs like Russia? You can't get any nearer to Earth than that.
+1 - humor is a great way to get at the tough issues. To put it more bluntly, though: "no, nuclear devices should be kept on hand to protect against politicians". The nuclear-armed nations have not gone to war with each other, and they won't because nuclear weapons (along with ICBM's) ensure that politicians can't simply send poor boys off to die for their lustful ambition on wealth and power without also impulsively risking their own safety.
This is unprecedented in the history of the nation state mechanism and has had major positive effects (if one considers empirical evidence rather than irrational fear). Sorry, it's not the pretty table at the UN that keeps bad leaders from misbehaving; until we can ban politicians, taking away their risk exposure would be the stupidest course of action conceivable. In the US only 5% of the population even trusts them to make sound decisions.
Maybe I should just change my
So, the only relevant question to me is, how do we defeat or circumvent this?
Shutdown Facebook in those countries. Wait for something to happen a few hours later when Parliament is on fire.
It's later than you think, the joint Russian-American space mission has already begun.
