Tell me, Muse, of that apparatus of many resources, who wandered far and wide, after monitoring the planted fields. Many the men whose crops it saw, whose ways it learned. Many the sorrows it suffered on flight, while trying to bring itself and its data back alive. Yet despite its wishes it failed to save it, because of the corn foolishly projecting twice the cattle of Helios, the Sun, so the god denied them their return. Tell us of these things, beginning where you will, Goddess, Daughter of Zeus.

But, "Mainstream" sites are too ... ... waaaait a second.

"SugarString publishes thoughtful tech-focused stories that track humanity’s climb towards the new next."

Well, they want to be part of that climb towards the new next.

Nobody said the new next was not going to be a shitty place.

Now I wonder what's the official age at which one can start laughing at younger people for the shitty world they're going to inherit.

We need a law against journalists using numbers. It would be less misleading to have them report as:

"[...]a Cray XC40 containing much storage and capable of a large number of flops."

Because you drank too much on David's last Christmas party and you puked on the punch bowl.

The irony is believing that the guy who is more knowledgeable, only asks questions and never accepts any responsibility because "he said during the meeting that there would be problems", is in any way more useful than the guy who gives snappy answers without the knowledge.

At some point a decision has to be made, and raising questions without a plan of what to do for each possible response, is just the non productive self-preservation mechanism of the knowledgeable.

...Yet.

The only thing you need to know is that Mr. Dunning was a complete incompetent. Trust me, I'm good at knowing that kind of things.

"Experience" together with "As someone who owns an Alienware laptop".

This is weak even for trolling.

It's the geek version of holding a gun sideways on one hand and $20 in single dollar bills on the other.

The day Slashdot finally went beyond 100% advertisement.

Confirmation Bias is your friend.

I find this piece of advertisement to be too article-shaped.

The tone is way to sober and objective. If you read carefully you'll find that some of the data are actually facts! I refuse to accept this kind of newsy look-at-me-writing-articles crap in Slashdot.

If we start accepting this kind of posts, soon we'll end up having news for nerds. Or even stuff that matters, god forbid.

The fact that we need a court to decide that "embedding a copyrighted YouTube video in your site is not copyright infringement." is already a failure of the system as a whole.

Next we'll have the court deciding that "Mentioning the fact that you saw a video on YouTube is not copyright infringement as long as you specify you don't know whether the video was copyrighted or otherwise."

(I now wonder if this post is copyright infringement. After all, I'm replying an article about a court ruling about people who embedded in their web pages videos from Youtube which were copyrighted! ... OMG I don't want to die in prison!)

1 - You are implying retinal transplants, a 20 year old procedure, are impossible.
2 - You are implying age is somehow encoded in the ADN, which is not correct.

A real tank from 1940, maybe.

A current real tank firing solution makes movement (including momentum, terrain influence and recoil) of tank, turret and weapon, completely transparent for the gunner.
