But our creator gave us rational minds to solve puzzles with.
You bet.
How about if I look at it in a mirror? Or out of the corner of my eye? Or I have someone else look at it and describe it to me?
Quantum computing sure is hard.
ahhhh so *thats* why Texans are so fucking fat.
No. No it is not. It's because they have amazing food down there. In California, 9/10ths of all restaurants are total fucking shit food with total fucking shit service. I can outcook them any and every day of the week, and I do, and I have no formal training whatsoever. In Texas, 9/10ths of all restaurants are at least basically competent. I think it's because Texans will tell you just what they think of you, and all the incompetents have fled for California, or committed suicide.
It's also because it's stupid hot, and you can't go outside.
Put the two together and you have a lot of driving from restaurant to restaurant with precious little fat-burning in between. That's what happened to me, anyway. Gained 100 lbs in a year and a half. The weight's off now, but ugh.
If you couldn't step outside without tripping over a chicken fried steak, you'd be fat, too.
1) Do you really want two-ton land missiles driven by desperate people who are driven to cut corners to stay competitive?
You mean like taxicab drivers? No. We should do away with them immediately.
More generally, as you noted, a competitive market is a swim-or-sink situation. That means profit margins will get razor-thin. That sounds awesome until you realize that wages are also a form of profits.
So your argument against permitting people to hire their services is that it will threaten others' wages? Congratulations, you just cast your vote for no progress ever. Please move back into a cave, and give up your PC.
So your argument for more taxis on the roads is that the current amount of taxis is already dangerous...
No, and only a someone who does not understand English at all could possibly come to that conclusion without being a prevaricating prickwad. They complained about the nature, not the number.
Cabbies drive like fuckheads because they have no competition, because of bullshit protectionist restraint of trade.
I wonder what happened to the habit of making embedded systems simple and transparent...
I remember some 20 years ago a friend of mine was telling me that sooner or later, your microwave would have a whole operating system on it, even though it only performed simple tasks. It was already cheaper even then to use a MCU over discrete logic for many devices which were not staggeringly complex. It's about development time. As long as we fail to demand quality, we will continue to get what is convenient to produce in quantity. Pity about quality.
ou knew this, I hope, and were just trolling us. Right?
Correct -- and the smartphone that isn't capable of actively tracking a person is?
knowing he had already lied to Congress to protect the NSA.
Are you sure he's that aware?
Apple represents a freaking quarter of the US economy.
Uh, math is hard for you or something?
Why again are we still supposed to use the ballot box instead of the bullet box?
Because if you can rally enough people to your cause to actually win a war, then you can rally enough people to win an election. The system is designed to have an easier method for regime change than bloodshed, and for good reason: after a typical revolution, the chances of ending up with something better are not high.
In the mean time, I'll go back to trying to get Qt5 to compile...
Brave man
Happiness is twin floppies.
