Shit, I'd buy those.

No they didn't, actually. I work in the industry. Apple basically said "This is what we're going to do; if you don't like it, shove off". And iTunes is such a major portion of their digital income stream, that it's a very difficult decision for them to make. Sony still hasn't signed, and many of the smaller labels are scrambling (with lawyers) to figure out how to fight effectively. If this isn't monopolistic behavior, I dunno what is.

Apple has BILLIONS in cash in the bank. LIke, ~$200 billion. And yet people think it's fair that the artists man up and shoulder the cost of a few months of streaming.

For instance, here's the 4 assed monkey.

Yeah, fuck Feinstein. But at the same time.. Fuck stupid fucking idiots who think flying their remote controlled aircraft into the flight paths of airliners, helicopters, whatever for the goddamned lulz.

I hate to say it, but given the choice between ORACLE and Microsoft.. Fuck Oracle.

I suggest we call it SNATCH.

Yes, but at 385 pounds, you're not getting away with blaming that on an extra inch in height...

With nuclear arms?

I dunno, the asshole in me thinks this sounds like one of those Microsoft Validation things.. Free Engine Software for 500 miles, then activation required!

von Mises to Ayn Rand:

"You have the courage to tell the masses what no politician told them: you are inferior and all the improvements in your conditions which you simply take for granted you owe to the efforts of men who are better than you."

that's right, plebes. Can't afford college? Then you obviously aren't good enough than the sons and daughters of the rich. Grovel, plebe, grovel.

I have no qualms with this condition.

Can I have a million dollars? I have no story or noble cause. I just think a million dollars would make my day more amazing.

Most of my career has been bumbling along doing systems programming in c, perl, python, and lately c# writing a lot of console apps/utilities. Unfortunately, everyone now wants web developers and the like, so I find myself in the unenviable position of playing "catch up" and facing the possibility of having to return to a jr. role due to "lack of experience", but I'm not so proud to do these things if it gives me a steady paycheck with room for advancement... I digress...

I'm going through Eloquent Javascript at the moment with a look towards the SImpson "You don't know" series to get a little more in-depth in some of the areas that I see people having issues with.. followed by working with node and angular (basically, the MEAN stack). I don't know where this would put me vs "beginners", but it's the route I'm headed down.. :P
