SJW's are usually trust fund babies and well-off morons that got bored with collecting tangible things and began collecting stories of oppression as bling. They're charlatans and ideologues, profit mongers and zealots.
The geek has a future in the Kansas state Senate.
Well as I'm sure you've figured out, ''sjw'' stands for social justice warrior. Back when I and a few others started this tumblr several years ago, ''sjw'' seemed, to us, to be more of a criticism on people who used social justice to further their own bigoted ends, push already marginalized people out of their own spaces, and dominate discussions with bigoted rhetoric.
In the years since this blog died out,''sjw'' came to stand for anyone who supports social justice, a favorite go-to insult for white male nerds/libertarians/redditors. This blog is now followed by people with that attitude, and still gets asks of that nature. Hence the (partial) reason why I no longer update, even though I've somewhat returned to tumblr.
"Social Justice Warrior" has no visibility in Google Trends before 2013 --- and in the pejorative sense has never caught on outside the United States. Thank god. social justice warrior
But then I saw the cat pictures.
These were, of course, her own cat pictures. It is sometimes the most ordinary things in our lives that speak the loudest, if you are willing to listen.
Also, stop the nonsense about duress-passwords. They do not work.
There is a reason why they call the drug courier a mule and it isn't because he is the brains of the outfit.
The right question to ask --- the first question to ask ---- is not where and how to hide the insanely dangerous files you are carrying about on your person but why you are doing anything so stupid in the first place?
You cannot demand keys for something you don't know of.
The cop or the border guard spends his entire working life learning how to read faces, body language, as if his life depended on it, which, of course, it often does.
It is not the machine that betrays you. It's you.
Much like in the old dialup days. We paid for the Phone Line, then we paid for the ISP.
The good old days.
In the outer ring of suburbs where we lived, the only realistic and affordable Internet solution before broadband cable was dialup AOL --- combined with a unlimited regional calling plan.
Not much has changed in all the years since.
The Millennial in particular seems to have a short attention span and perhaps more a taste for political theater than effective political action.
Apparently something related to the OS choices makes it worth Intel's while to develop separate models.
The answer in one word: Sales.
Jokes aside, most of us live in areas that are not prone to hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, or Godzilla.
I have to ask where you found an Eden untouched by man-made or natural disasters. Where there is drought there is fire. In a warming world, storms may be fewer but stronger and farther reaching.
The radio you have in hand is more useful than the one you shoved into the glove compartment last winter with batteries now deader than dead.
The kid admitted the stunt was meant to embarrass a teacher he disliked --- and a three day suspension for a previous access violation taught him nothing.
The problem is that a substitute was teaching that day who had no way of knowing whether or not this "harmless prank" would escalate into something that could cost the man his job.
Pre-Trial Intervention, which, under Florida law works something like probation, will leave the boy without a criminal record --- if he has the sense to stay out of trouble.
Who the hell works on the 99% of open source software that isn't popular, and why do they care? Because they do.
Show me some proof that anyone cares enough to drive GNU/Hurd to a 1.0 release.
Richard Stallman founded the GNU project in September 1983 with an aim to create a free GNU operating system. Initially the components required for kernel and development were written: editors, shell, compiler and all the others. By 1989, GPL came into being and the only major component missing was the kernel.
In 2010, after twenty years under development, Stallman said that he was ''not very optimistic about the GNU Hurd. It makes some progress, but to be really superior it would require solving a lot of deep problems'', but added that ''finishing it is not crucial'' for the GNU system because a free kernel already existed (Linux), and completing Hurd would not address the main remaining problem for a free operating system: device support.
Microsoft, on the other hand, saw an opportunity and happily licensed their code to all comers.
The MS-DOS PC was a commercially viable platform before the cloning of the IBM PC BIOS.
Microsoft entered the 16 bit market with a full suite of programming languages that made the transition from the eight bit world of CP/M remarkably fast and painless. It's a part of a part of the story the geek tends to forget.
Different Headline: "Seventy year old manuscript written by mathematician who died 60 years ago is still under copyright in many countries."
The owner of the manuscript is under no obligation to publish it. No obligation to display it.
The expiration of copyright does nothing to guarantee access to primary sources, does nothing to guarantee funding for the preservation of primary sources.
It shouldn't even be a criminal charge. It may be a crime by the letter of the law, but c'mon, this couldn't be handled in-house?!
Green had previously received a three-day suspension for accessing the system inappropriately.
Green was released on Wednesday from Land O'Lakes Detention Center into the custody of his mother. He'll likely be granted pretrial intervention by a judge, sheriff's detective Anthony Bossone said.
Green also received a 10-day school suspension. It's unclear if he'll return to Paul R. Smith to complete the school year after the suspension.

Individuals who successfully complete a Pretrial Intervention Program will have their criminal charges dismissed.
Pretrial Intervention is for first offenders charged with third degree misdemeanors or felonies. Violate your PTI and you will be looking at a very pissed off judge and prosecutor.
Especially because he put GAY GUYS on the computer, the horrors. If he had changed the wallpaper to a cat picture this would not have happened I guarantee it.
Don't be an idiot.
Green said that on the morning in question, he accessed the computer that stored the FCAT files and, realizing that computer didn't have a camera, found another.
''So I logged out of that computer and logged into a different one and I logged into a teacher's computer who I didn't like and tried putting inappropriate pictures onto his computer to annoy him,'' Green said.
The teacher he was targeting was out that day. Instead, the substitute teacher saw the picture and reported it to the school's administration.
