How about you make a product that I want to buy and then I'll give you money for it. There's no "patience" involved here, it's just the free market working like it should for once. Whoever releases a product that doesn't make users sick first will probably get a crapload of money.

No, it's not. That study you mentioned only compared a handful of super-scientific articles about which there is no controversy, only a single correct interpretation of the facts, and consists of entirely objective material. When you compare Wikipedia with other encyclopedias with regard to social science, history, or basically anything that isn't a list of math proofs, you find that Wikipedia is far worse off.

Call your congressman and ask them why they're using illegal surveillance tools to let criminals get away.

No. Most people won't ever come anywhere remotely close to needing to know how to code. Now, engineers, scientists, accountants, and various professionals that require a *college* degree might benefit from it, but that means that it should be taught in college, not in high schools.

You're looking for the wrong thing. You want your two-year-old and a toddler to be responsible for telling you when there's an emergency?! Are you fucking nuts? The solution here is not some unreliable piece of tech based on a homebrew solution susceptible to all the failures of internet service, IP cameras, and routing equipment. The solution here is nursing care or other medical devices. You need to talk to your doctor, but a bunch of IT nerds on the internet.

>As with most things, I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle

That's a myth. It's almost always perpetuated by those making asinine claims. It's simple, you make an absurd claim and then when the reasonable people show up, you simply attack them for being "too extreme".

You are the most deluded fuck I've heard from in the last month. Congratulations.

You'd get more than that. By running these operations, they're driving away real users and making the information that Facebook collects less valuable. There would be some monetary damages as well.

Of course they can. Shady landlords have a habit of evicting people who report them. Yeah, it's illegal, but do you think that lawyers are free? Do you think that most people can afford to lose their place to live for 6 to 8 months while a trial takes place?

No, we aren't going to make a custom piece of software for your business, jackass. It's pretty obvious that you're in the business of buying collections of trading cards sold on ebay, etc. to then resell to other collectors at a profit. You need to pay for the services (in this case, software programming) you receive and ditch the sense of entitlement that you seem to have.

Go call a freelance software developer and pay them, or do it yourself.

By your logic, we need the bomb squad to visit every neighborhood on garbage day because the streets will literally be littered with containers that "might" be a bomb. Dipshit.

Following protocol "to the letter" is almost *always* an overreaction. It's also the last refuge of idiots when they do stupid shit. "I didn't have a choice! I had to act like a fucking retard because the rules said so!!!" Nothing but a bunch of lame excuses.

> Gun nuts are paranoid as hell,

It's not paranoia when, as this article proves, the government really is out to get you.

>Snow does not preclude bike riding.

Looks like we found the hippie.

Do you realize that these idiots are allowed to vote? I know it's all the rage right now to blame politicians for everything, but why don't we take a good, hard look at the people who put them into office.
