Doesn't refer to seating arrangments. If you holy-rollers don't agree with contraception, then don't fucking use is. Simple. Every religion since always has tried to conform the world their their viewpoints and it's the main reason why society can't have nice things. If you want to live your life nailed to a cross, go ahead but stop thinking you need to force your belief system on everyone else. Same goes for atheists. sick of hearing you whiners too. Believe what you want and let others believe what they want. That's a hell of a lot closer to the peace and tolerance that every religion claims to be about but never gets it right.

I'm sure the video will never go viral.

Tell them to go outside. Anything online that gets popular just ends up being what they are trying to get away from.
Besides, they are the generation who will pay for never having freedom of thought without scrutiny. The sooner they
start fixing that, the better off their kids will be.

But I'm sure they'd never tie the data in to the "voluntary" DNA swabbing done last month.

Depends how you learn. If you sit down with a table saw, never having operated one, you're in for a hard learn. Same as any tool. I would say the same goes for a gui too....that damn Voiceover is error prone enough to qualify for the-icepick-of-death-in-the-speakerhole treatment.

Sounds like the 1% has their own kind of epidemic going around

Frankly, I was impressed with the AK's accuracy at ~50yds for such a short barrel (I was probably shooting a milled version). A 4" group at 100 yds is still plenty deadly. AK-47's are capable of shooting 3-5 inch groups at 100 yards, whereas the stamped AKMs are capable of shooting 4-6 inch groups at 100 yards

What could possibly be of such interest to go to such lengths? Power? Political corruption? Racial/Religious superiority? The lengths to which they are going bear similarity to some very historic, oppressive regimes.

Not sure why that wouldn't get vetted out in the interview process. Asking someone to describe their most elaborate program, or explain what their most difficult language to learn was should give you some good indicators of aptitude. Another good one is ask them what their most enjoyable problem was they solved with code. Those three can be asked on the phone quite quickly.

A war over public opinion. I don't know why the struggling U.S. automakers have not embraced electric vehicles. They will make a "zombie" truck which everyone thinks is funny, but nobody actually wants. But tend to be disposed to doing everything in their power to resist that which is (probably) better for the environment and more efficient for a good portion of the population commuting just a few miles every day. Did they learn nothing from the Nissan Leaf sales?

If you're into crushing competition through litigation and signing trade agreements that screw up your entire economy, sure.

Inept? I would assume it takes quite a bit of expertise to justify a friggin Holodeck on a purchase req.

Now, now, I don't think installing Android is a good solution. The hardware is all different.

Unless that malware involved bought and paid for politicians as well as corrupt bankers + real estate people, you got the wrong guy.

You've forgotten Citizens United and the Montana ruling in 2012. Also ties to private companies and high ranking political leaders are currently the norm. Agreeably, you're statement is where we should be but is nowhere near where we currently are.
