Robocop was worse.

Manchurian Candidate was worse.

Total Recall was hideously worse.

Everyone hated the Star Wars prequels, but as these things go (and as beloved as Star Wars was), they really weren't THAT bad.

Not holding out much hope for this.

Ha ha that's hilarious. Like somebody in Hollywood could use a command-line interface... Good one!

This is actually the most successful formula for a sequel. Exactly the same, but slightly different.

JavaScript is definitely the worst. AngularJS usually takes more lines of code to integrate than if you had just written it yourself in JQuery. And it doesn't scale worth a crap where the JQuery scales great.

Exactly. And when it comes to battery life, running the GPU for no reason matters.

Yeah, I've solved the first 3 of those. Have at it AI!

Pfft. It didn't take me 600 games of Breakout to learn to put the ball above the bricks...

It cheated. It was fed text instead of having to take the time (like the people did) to determine the meaning from the audible clue given.

Anyone that WOULD stand up to this must have a strong core belief system that won't be swayed by earthly gains (a fundamentalist Christian, for example, or a strong environmentalist/humanitarian). But such a person would never be voted for by the public, because their strong beilefs would instantly disqualify them to voters of the other party. People with strong convictions will absolutely lose a presidential election.

I don't know a single developer personally who is in favor of software patents. Copyright, yes, but patents, no. In fact, at a previous company the lawyers came to us and offered us $2500 bonuses for any software we submitted which ended up with a patent. Not a single developer submitted one, because they go against our core beliefs so strongly.

I think the FCCs line here is: "All packets are equal" == Net Neutrality

Wrong. There is an 8-page document. The other 292 pages are responses to public comments.

Nope. They are going into the other 292 pages of the regulations (only 8 pages are new regulations, 292 pages respond to the 4 million comments).

There are only 8 pages of regulations.

I grew up as a Republican, but lately I just can't get behind any of their positions (besides the moral ones).

Yes, society would be way better with universal healthcare (and as a Christian, I really don't see how any Christian could see it otherwise...do you WANT people to suffer and die because they can't afford otherwise?).

And of course the internet should just be a dumb pipe. How anyone could think they want otherwise is just brainwashing by the horrible greedy people that own the large telecoms.
