I think it has more to do with people who grew up reading books vs people who grew up reading on the Internet. When publishing cost money, you couldn't really expose yourself to the idiocy you see online without reading the walls of a public toilet.

Yeah, if you are going to communicate with someone with Google Translate, you want to use the results you get as keywords for research and not much else. Unless you want to look like a moron.

If you're interested in doing that, I recommend the Language Learning for Netflix Chrome extension. It let's you view two sets of subtitles at the same time, hover over a word for a definition and adjust the playback speed. I've been using it as part of my self designed program to teach myself Japanese. It's great.

Nobody actually believes any of this ridiculous narrative, surely. This is laughable in the contempt it shows for the reader. Or, perhaps not. Underestimating stupidity... I have a bad habit of that.

It's not just about creating coins. It's a distributed ledger. There will eventually be no coins left, and miners will be paid transaction fees for the service they provide just like any bank. If Bitcoin endures long enough, that is.

Your base don't want you to EVER band world leaders for "bad behavior".

They want you to ban anyone who agrees with them, but leave the world leaders themselves hanging out on a limb alone where Twits can chip away at the leaders they don't like with the comfort of knowing the mob is behind them and if that ceases to be true they can call Mommy Jack to send the people who hurt their feelings away.

I don't really want to do business with a company like this. Did they stop teaching The Crucible in English class? Have these people never heard of the Salem witch trials?

Destroying someone's career based on an accusation that wasn't rigorously tried and convicted in a court of law is wrong. Filing an accusation with Lyft or Uber without calling the cops is unconscionable.

I know this is aimed at making women feel secure, but honestly... you women know what you're like, do you not?

Next time you're about to get onto one of your "Believe Women" soapboxes, could you just take a brief moment and contemplate what the most evil crazy bitch you've ever known could do to your son with the kind of blanket credibility you're asking the system to give to your gender?

Every single thing you do. How long you hover your mouse over something. How many times you scroll, how long you wait... every single thing you do, each moment you're on the page.

That's what Viacom asked me to build into their music property sites. Maybe they're less invasive than Google.

The P4 was a steaming pile of dogshit. It's extremely long pipeline led to frequent branch mispredictions, crippling performance. It was abandoned, and they went back to the P3 processor architecture with a die shrink. It was damn near fraudulent to sell the thing. It wasn't ahead of its time at all. If you know jack shit, maybe you should stop making assertions.

Everybody can be smarter *now*. The trick would have been to have been smartet then - which you weren't. Nobody was, apparently.
 
Well, except for the people at AMD who designed the Athlon and the Duron. I felt pretty clever overclocking my Duron 600 to a 1 GHz back in the day...

I consider Trump to be the President of Peace. He was an amazing president. I shudder to think of how many people Hillary Clinton would have killed had he been elected. I will miss him.

Considering how cold Siberia is, and how much of the Arctic Russia controls, I don't think they are going to be one of the big losers as global warming proceeds. Based on my research into the last major global warming event, the Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum, Siberia is going to become a very desirable piece of real estate.

Bill got old. 20 years ago he would have been trying to seize control of the polar caps and capitalize on the opportunity. Now he's talking like a 15 year old.

I don't have a problem with diversity, although I'm not in any way supportive of it.

But I have a real problem with people who want to "increase diversity". Don't want to work with them, don't want to be friends with them, don't want them in my neighborhood.

Saying "There aren't enough black people around here" and saying "There are too many black people around here" are both equally bigoted.

24% of the land on earth is changing from frozen desert to arable land. Global warming is awesome!

Did you know you can't buy permafrost covered land in Northern Canada? The Queen of England owns all of it. I checked. Best you can do is a 99 year lease. I was going to buy a bunch of it and pass it on to my descendants.

Fuck you, faggot
