with the same obvious set of interests and the same payoffs for roughly the same people, the two-party system must never be questioned.

Seriously, you wannabe jocks are getting tiresome. He who struts shall be knocked flat on his face and humiliated until he cries. It works for everyone, if you can hold them in place long enough.

and your silly "competition" pablum. What we need is municipal utilities, which we would of course have if AT&T weren't at the vanguard of fighting against their existence.

before Mozilla and FDF combine in some way. They're made for each other.

Of course, the blame should be laid entirely at the feet of the SJWs who were willing to trade anyone else's community for the gracious permission of the elites to join white society and kick down as a married couple...

They jumped the shark when they fired the technical soul of the company because the Other Right Wing had a problem with his lifestyle.

The mysql module should have been shot before it was ever included. A database interface layer that doesn't support bound parameters is criminally irresponsible, and people who write such things should be held criminally responsible.

Pace of innovation? I can't understand you people who like to work 60 hour weeks just so the hamster wheel can spin faster. Get out more.

I've been thinking for a long time I could be in the wrong industry. I might be right. Y'all are nuts.

to them. If they can detect the sort of brain activity that correlates with intelligence, certainly this can be expanded to other brain activity. Throw a Union Jack on their screens and see how they respond. Boom, state loyalty tester. Throw two naked guys on their screen, boom, sexual orientation test. Throw scenes of snipers shooting civilians, boom, black ops aptitude test.

The cover story, as usual, doesn't matter.

It's what they did with Tor, isn't it? Separate the sheep from the goats (i.e. those who have no interest in hiding anything vs. those who do) and watch the hell out of the sheep?

The sheep are more responsive to mass propaganda. There's no need to watch them until they prove themselves goats.

means "compliant" and "loyal". Of course, "smart" in any context is nothing more than a measure of conformity to a particular culture's belief structure. Even here.

"the protection and preservation of existing power inequalities"

Those of us who actually make boards are quite happy to have scopes. Or those of us who work with analog circuits (YES! you CAN still buy REAL OP-AMPS in SO-8 packages OMGWTFBBQ!) or, say, power supplies, or any sort of signal processing. A scope is quite a bit more than a nice-to-have. You may as well tell a machinist a Bridgeport is a "nice thing to have".

Oracle v. Google was about a nine-line range checking routine, written by the same guy at different jobs. The jury found it copyrightable, I seem to remember. (WAT)

Fair Use still exists, but so too does everything short of barratry.

*shrug* Samsung Electronics has some tempting little eight-ARMed chips that would feel great on a Mini-ITX motherboard. Still not FOSS, but if that's really important to you, there's lowRISC (Berkeley RISC-V including development toolchain and Linux image) and just now Parallax's Propeller for your I/O needs...

is anti-American. Stop that.

but, hi, there's something called Android that's well over 90% permissively licensed.
