I don't buy into the whole shared misery concept. Perhaps thats why I disasgree with so many of the slashdot liberals.
Why should I be happy about your allegedly high quality of life subsidized by your crotchfruit?
The next time you say "Taking my son to xyz." Say it like it was wonderful and not like it's an excuse.
And make sure you're not in earshot of anyone actually doing work who resents you for it while you're off having a grand old time.
Nothing you do is so important that it is an emergency.
People live and die every day, so don't give me that "life or death" excuse.
Tomorrow free ponies, SUVs, and cheeseburgers!! YEAH!!!
What could possibly go wrong?
Judging by your last dozen posts, you're a real fanboy of the new design.
I assume you're the only paid shill they could get to suck on it.
Meh, OK so since 1997, you haven't implemented account deletion. Perhaps this is a feature to consider working on before making the look and feel of the site frou-frou.
If you don't keep the old Slashdot, I'm deleting my account and not coming back.
Do you understand?
jQuery always has been a hack, but it is a very good hack.
To be fair tho, you are playing within their walled garden. It's a good thing that you've pointed this out to all of us tho, to shame them.
Mod parent up.
...Or maybe we should just torch the founder of the company that decides to unleash this product on the world?
Seriously. Cut this shit out.
I'll make it clear for you: The government is already stealing over 70% of my stuff in day to day life, if you count income tax, property, consumption (sales) tax, and taxes on taxes.
While they make it more organized with a paper trail, it still doesn't make it anything less than theft.
If I'm poor enough I'll have nothing to steal. Which is what government tries to do now anyhow.
It's not my failure to understand that you and your ilk are douchebags trying to enslave us all.
You can already pay plenty to have a private security firm defend you.
In addition to the lip service I get from a government, effectively making me pay for it twice, once from a service I didn't ask for or want, and then once again through the service of my choosing.
The thing is you ultra-libertarians suffer exactly the same flaws as really staunch communists. Both of you believe that people are better than they are.
Oh no, I believe in the worst in people, which we already have. I will be more rich than I am now to pay the thugs of my choosing instead of the thugs that you and others would choose for me.
You are naive. Without government "violence" , "theft" and "coercion", there is nothing stopping someone bigger and stronger using violence, theft and coercion to take all of your stuff.
That's a choice I'd like to make for myself, and not one made for me, thank you very much.
And no, you cannot defend yourself, since you're not the most powerful person. There will always be someone bigger and stronger.
You support monopolies on violence and I do not. I'd like competition on price for whoever would be needed to defend me, and not have to pay twice (or more times) for the same level of service.
This is the downfall of these current generation of digital currencies, they aren't anonymous and untraceable enough yet.
Sadly, Glenn Fleishman suggests to resort to the use of violence (recourse in a court system, based on government theft and coercion) in order to seek a "remedy" to these problems, whereas many would rather see people be more careful with their transactions and keeping the government out of them (wherever possible).
