Shame on samzenpus for thinking everyone is a lemming, especially on Slashdot.
Come off it, everybody on Slashdot is a lemming.
Just a different flavoured one.
your link is still broken.
It is not broke. It is just not view-able if not logged in.
You're new here.
Whoosh!
Sorry for not giving you everything on a silver platter.
Apology accepted however, your link is still broken.
It's not a crime to have your car parked somewhere if you have a suspended/revoked license
I don't see anyone claiming that it is a crime. What I do see is a lot of slashdotters ignoring the fact that the location of the parking spot aroused legitimate suspicion from police, likewise a pressure cooker in that location will legitimate raise their eyebrows even further.
This is how it operated in London and Paris when the IRA were being bastards. Sure, with 20/20 hindsight, an unlicensed dickhead with a dead car is not a perfect outcome, but it's a much better outcome than a false negative.
I'm convinced that humanity is on the verge of some spectacular innovations
If only the old people died? Am I right?
No, you're not right at all. It's certainly not the message I intend to convey at all. What I'm saying is that the sheer bulk of intrenched capital is the political inertia that has to be overcome.
You start off with 'the previous generation created great things' but then go off on some weirdo tangent that everything has stagnated. That is not true.
Well I'm open to you telling me what radical world changing innovations have occurred from 1965-2015.
You are just being bigoted.
I am not being bigoted. Did you read my comment in full? I said And that's not to say some Baby Boomers aren't capable of 21st century thinking, it's just that there isn't enough of them to make a political difference.
I completely value the wisdom of the older generations and hope that our culture hasn't grown to be so short sighted that it will ignore it.
The TPP has serious technology implication in the means of enforcing IP provisions and other areas in addition to environmental issues.
This has nothing to do with TPP. TPP is the "Trans Pacific Partnership". Get out your globe and look at the big blue thing between America and Europe. That is the Atlantic Ocean, not the Pacific. This is about TTIP, not TPP.
From the *second sentence* in the wiki for the TTIP: The American government considers the TTIP a companion agreement to the Trans-Pacific Partnership..
Seriously is there any reason to be so fucking narky when you haven't even researched the sources of information available from a 30 second google search.
The market is there. The market exists. It is here, now. The toy manufacturers are catering to an already demonstrated predilection. Mattel didn't create the tendency for little girls to like one kind of thing and little boys to like another. At most, they reinforce those tendencies. Mommies and daddies apparently approve of those tendencies, because they also reinforce them.
We have some rather vocal female member here at slashdot. Maybe you should take a survey, to see what the worst obstacles they had, when they decided to pursue geekish careers. How many do you suppose were shot in the face, for daring to pursue male careers? http://www.pbs.org/newshour/ex... How many had acid thrown in their faces? http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WO...
Let's put things in perspective here. We do NOT ban women from any occupation, unlike some more barbaric societies seem to do. Nor do we ban men from any occupation. You are free to do whatever the hell you want to do.
Except, in this case, sexist assholes passing themselves off as "enlightened" are busy trying to tell women that they must enter the STEM careers. Women who CHOOSE to be home makers have no value.
Social engineering. Google is actively trying to change society, in effect, telling us all that we don't measure up to some standard that Google has set for us.
Arrogant bastards. I don't have to measure up to their standards, and neither do my sons or daughters, or grandsons or granddaughters.
FWIW, the Spanish-language version of the last link has much better pictures than the English-language version.
Google presumes to know what is good for boys and girls. They presume to know better than the parents of those boys and girls. They presume to know more than the boys and girls themselves.
I'm sick of all this social engineering. I just want to barf.
What is WRONG with little girls who just want to be girls? Why does every girl have to grow up to compete with the boys for a job? What if she doesn't WANT a job?
Like Obama, Google doesn't WANT women to have the traditional occupation of "home maker". Like Obama, Google places no value on those home makers.
Arrogant SOB's.
You're talking like some kind of a damned fool now. So, I switched to a new browser. Let's say that you are right - it folds in two years. Are you saying that I can't come back to Firefox next week, next month, or next year? Huh? Is there some kind of a stop-bit in Pale Moon which will forever prevent me from installing and/or updating Firefox?
FFS, right now, today, in this world that I am experiencing right now, Blue Moon works better than Firefox, in some ways. That doesn't tie me to Blue Moon forever and forever, amen.
Test drive the damned thing for yourself. THEN you might have something to say that is worth listening to.
