I was recently called a troll for claiming that a call for censorship was, in fact, a call for censorship. Now, as one who has perhaps occasionally indulged in a bit of trolling (search Slashdot for my insightful and informative mods, of course), I know trolling, and that ain't it.
For some reason, according to Wired, SJSU is a major feeder for Apple and feeds to Yahoo as well, but not so much to other tech companies. Not sure why, though my guess would be there's a "critical mass" of SJSU alums at Apple.
I was talking about my writing tool, damn you. "My small pen is...". Fucking incompetent copyeditors.
Nobody argues that the adhesives aren't up to the task of holding the machine together. Just that they make repair and/or upgrade difficult. Obviously Apple deems it worth saving the few cents it would take them to use a more convenient fastener even if it costs them in warranty repair time. Economically they're almost certainly correct, but it still seems like something of a dick move to those few of us who still repair our own machine.
This disease can spread from surface contact with contaminated fluids (which Ebola victims tend to leak profusely). Indoors, even dried fluids can remain infectious for hours. All it takes is to touch the fluids and then touch your eyes or mouth (which you do all the time) Something like the NYC subway provides very good conditions for spread, once the first sick people take a few trips
"I've received an anonymous death threat, therefore my opponents are scum" is pretty fallacious "reasoning".
Right -- there is no controversy about women in gaming. Not about women playing games, and not even about women making games.
There's a controversy about women (mostly two particular women) criticizing games and gamers on feminist grounds, and there's a controversy about one woman game developer who was involved in some rather public relationship drama involving game journalists. And there's a controversy about all their journalist supporters conspiring against gamers -- which the damn fool journalists went and set afire by proving their opponents right (on that point at least) by launching a coordinated attack in their respective publications.
Without worse-is-better, you make sure the job is completely done before release. So, it takes years to make progress, you end up building an extremely complex system to cover every possibility. Because of that very complexity it is difficult to extend for new requirements, which become apparent after the system is specified and before it was built.
If you want to build a nuclear power plant control system or something equally as critical and unchanging, sure, go ahead and engineer everything out the wazoo. Otherwise, get things done, even if they are "worse".
Dammit, beat me to it. Further, Haig is dead, which makes him immune to Ebola.
Global climate is changing, but if we stopped emitting CO2 within the next couple decades there's still a chance that the change would be short-lived and once the excess carbon has been absorbed
But the survivors wouldn't really give a shit, and anyway after civilization collapsed they'd go right back to burning wood and coal.
Civilization runs on energy, and stopping all CO2-producing sources would result in the collapse of civilization.
Of course we're 100% rational. We just start from some really dumb axioms, like "the best partner is the one with the biggest boobs and smallest waist".
What actually is the weird obsession with "SJWs" (as a negative?!) on this site?
Social Justice is to justice as People's Democracy is to Democracy.
Say "twenty-three-skiddoo" to logout.
