Ten and fifteen years ago, everyone went around saying they had ADD and ADHD. Now they go around saying they have Aspergers. You don't have aspergers, you fucking drama queens.
I nominate "being a man" as the next hip disorder to have.
Right now my system doesn't even have 480 live processes on it, let alone ones contending for execution time.
You're obviously not running Gentoo.
1. Promise Net Neutrality.
2. Convince government to do nothing, citing promise.
3. Wait until the issue dies down, both in the media and in legislation.
4. Back down from promise.
5. PROFIT!!!
Only flaw is turning is slow.
In WoW, the term keyboard turner is the highest insult.
and DEFINITELY not one that fears freedom of information, communication, speech and press.
What else is there?
Fuck, my school would confiscate CDs, console games, and various other things they had no business taking. Dumb as shit and I still can't find a reason for it.
Modern schools are prisons, not educational facilities. There is no other need for them in the age of Google.
As a facebook user, I get mad pussy.
As a facebook developer, I get mad money.
Do the math.
0 + 0 = 0
Luckily, we know how to grow trees and clean up rivers.
Yeah, but it's expensive. Better let the peasants starve first.
If you knew the location of the web site where you "belonged", you wouldn't have to search for it to begin with.
Typing it into the search bar is quicker than prefixing "www." or thinking about the spelling.
I understand them if they are rather slow in making significant changes to their algorithm. In this sue-happy society
They could go the way of Microsoft, i.e. Patch Tuesday. Optimize all you want, but we'll be changing the algorithm every month. (Oh, and flagging the quickest responders as spammers, they obviously care too much.)
As for Facebook and its kind, block it if you want to. The high school does. And the kids know how to proxy around it. You are NOT going to stop them. You are better off making sure they know how to use it safely than wishing it away with some half assed software block.
OTOH, learning to get around half-assed technical limitations might be a real useful skill against certain governments in the future. Just make sure not to set the bar too high for them.
Like how Vodafone UK's content filter can be circumvented by changing DNS servers. I'm over 18, but I don't think I should have to prove it to anyone. It's a modem, not a gun.
Very few people learn a valuable lesson by dying.
But those who do, remember it for the rest of their lives.
My kids have no privacy, period, end of discussion.
So you want them to do the "bad" stuff behind your back, then? If you're conditioning your kids to not be honest with you, what exactly do you expect from them later in life?
Oh, you think they'll stop if you tell them to? I thought you remember those hormones?
The day after tomorrow?
Apple is primarily a marketing company?
Then why do they have what many in the industry consider to be the best OS, running on the best-manufactured hardware?
Good marketing.
Real Programmers don't eat quiche. They eat Twinkies and Szechwan food.
