In 17 years the number of complaints went up by 30%. However according to the Census Bureau, the number of "Mathematical and Computer Science" workers increased by 150% between 1997 and 2012 (from 1.3 Million to 3.3 Million). The number of job postings likely scaled similarly, so the complaints per posting actually went down.

Except the whole part about inviting speakers who are actively trying to suppress free speech by banning the Quran.

It's not like the script can run without the interpreter. Even if you were stupid enough to mount /tmp other than noexec (the default).

That's not what arbiter1 meant.

"Reading your opponent" doesn't rely on facial expressions or tells when you are playing online poker.

We send drivers on the road every day who don't have a clear idea how cars work.

Knowing how something works is nice, but not knowing how it works won't diminish its utility, so long as it *does*.

We use gravity daily to generate hydroelectric power. Ask a group of physicists how gravity works. We have the math for it, but we don't have the story of it. Either way, the lights come on when the water weight is converted from potential to kinetic energy, and we are still damned if we know the mechanism of conversion. If we did, we'd al be riding around on hoverboards.

Or rejected it anyway?

You are incorrect. The difference between a riot and an insurrection is that, for an insurrection, I'm perfectly happy bringing in the National Guard and shooting the assholes.

A rebellion can be either violent resistance or open resistance. For violent resistance: bring in the national guard. For merely open resistance: put them on national television, and hear what they have to say. Occupy Wall Street was an open resistance rebellion; Rosa Parks was open resistance rebellion; Mahatma Gandhi was open resistance rebellion. The Serbian events which ousted Slobodan Miloevi was open resistance rebellion. Birmingham, Alabama and Selma, Alabama during the U.S. Civil rights movement was open resistance rebellion.

If it's just a riot, you handle it with local policing.

But involuntary manslaughter, manslaughter, third degree murder, second degree murder, and first degree murder are all murder, aren't they?

So it shouldn't matter what we call it: if we have the death penalty for first degree murder, we should have the same penalty for involuntary manslaughter, because "A thing is what a thing is indifferent to what you call it"... right?

Just because you can lump an event into a category does not make it the same as all of the other events you are able to lump into the same broad category.

If you find yourself putting everything into the same bucket, perhaps the problem isn't the thing, it's the fact that you have too few buckets.

I'm pretty sure the apology has a hell of a lot more to do with the transfer of control of the domain name to the record label than it has to do with the actual opinions of Grooveshark, or really, anyone who was employed by them, since whatever statements are up currently are hosted on RIAA owned servers on a RIAA owned domain, and likely dictated to RIAA employed web masters by RIAA marketing executives.

I don't think anyone at Grooveshark would willingly admit legal liability so blatantly, unless they had discontinued their schizophrenia medication.

If it took him less than 20 hours, he's making over $104,000 / year writing software, so he's probably OK with it.

The entire GNU philosophy / GNU Manifesto is based on the idea that software writers are craftsmen engaged in making works for hire. It's no different than making furniture.

I personally don't agree with that economic model, but I'm pretty sure by his statements that he's OK with it.

Incorrect; you are confusing an insurrection with a revolution:

insurrection: noun: a violent uprising against an authority or government.
rebellion: noun: an act of violent or open resistance to an established government or ruler.
revolution: noun: a forcible overthrow of a government or social order in favor of a new system.

An insurrection can lead to a revolution, as can a rebellion, but it's not a sufficient condition. Planned rioting with no political or social goals is insurrection. Unplanned rioting is not insurrection, it is merely rioting.

Given that these riots were planned via social media, they were insurrection; given that they were against authority, rather than an established government or ruler, they were NOT a rebellion.

You can be those things without rioting. They are not synonymous with "being an asshole", which is what rioting is all about. Wanton destruction of property achieves no reasonable political or social agenda, other than harming people already operating hand to mouth in cash flow businesses, and forcing them into poverty with you.

If you weren't "just being an asshole", you'd be rioting in areas where there would be a net political effect from the reaction in the desired direction. Directionless riots are closer in nature to the 9/11 attacks than they are the Boston Tea Party.

Sorry, that's not a "riot". If you organize it in a premeditated fashion, it's called "insurrection".

Mod parent up.

People stupid enough to riot definitely have it worse off than people smart enough to not riot. Because they're not only in poverty, they are also stupid.

They tend to be rather quickly destroyed by criminals so that there's no admissible record of their criminal activities.

It's easier to have a job (at least, in a manufacturing sector) when you don't approve the Trans Pacific Partnership, or ask for the ability to fast track it. IT's also easier to have a job when your government imposes tariffs on nations like China, based on environmental and labor standards that are enforced locally, such that it makes no sense to offshore the manufacturing sector in the first place.

That said, I think that most inner city teens wouldn't have jobs, even if that discrepancy were corrected, since the value of the labor of an inner city teen is less than the current minimum wage. So you'd hire someone whose labor is equal to or more valuable than the minimum wage for those jobs instead, like an out of work adult.
