Are you actually this dumb or playing dress up

Google isn't banning anyone. It's a company providing a service. This isn't the Supreme Court passing down a decision here.

Yeah it is a website. A website you don't have to join.

It's not a fucking law. It's a private business making business decisions. If you don't like it don't give them your business. It's the free market in action.

But you are too stupid too get that aren't you. Someone does something you don't like and it must be morally and legally wrong. It is sickening how many of you would puppet the law in your favor at the drop of a hat no matter how much anger you pretend to have against authoritarianism.

Because of this anecdote you're wrong. Also what the hell, how many kids use crack on a regular basis? Yeah a lot of kids drink and smoke weed, we're not talking about the obvious here. PS: A good number of kids do use crack on a regular basis, they are the ones trapped in the cycle of poverty.

The argument here is "I don't need it", "Well I do need it", "YOU FUCKING MORON HOW DARE YOU DISAGREE WITH MY PERSONAL NEEDS". This entire article is complete flamebait. Slashdot is a joke. How can an argument literally consist of multiple parties describing why, in their personal lifestyles, they individually need or don't need a certain type of cellular phone. OH BUT LOL CELL PHONES ARE TECH SO ITS ALL GOOD THIS IS SLASHDOT no this is arguing about the Kardashians except with some half assed "nerdy" basis

How do you know that's the truth? There is a good chance the powers that be dislike censorship as much as everyone else in the software realm and now that they have some real power are exercising their right to resist censorship in a way that makes an impact.

Well it is :P it's the east coast startup city and devs can make a manhattan living wage just starting out and even move up to moderately luxurious Manhattan wages.

Flash is more powerful than you would think. I felt the same way you did until I started doing some stuff in it for a class. I've been doing DSP work (implemented an FFT among other things) as well as toying with a game (a game loop real game not some timeline BS). I even wrote a scripting language for said game that runs in Actionscript. "Sup dawg we heard you like scripting languages" I know I know :P

This post makes no sense. You trashed a whole lot of things generally assumed to have been "designed" by programmers (GNOME and Firefox) and then act like it's designers who are at fault. Everything you have said just points more to the fact that designers SHOULD be designing UIs and that you just work with shitty software and/or designers in real life.

I figured out earlier on this is a fakepost or troll, but iPhone has had voice commands for a while. Hold down the home button and talk away.

Thanks. I nearly choked to death on my Qdoba you fucking dick

"Stupid users," I thought. "I have to protect them from themselves." I poured back another shot of bourbon. The moonlight crept through the window of my office. I do a lot of my work at night.

It had been a quiet day. Some broad had come in begging for me to find out if her husband was cheating on her. Unfortunately, I couldn't take the case. Her husband was a buddy of mine from the force. I told her to look on Facebook. Joe never was too bright, like most of the earthly scum I surround myself with. He'd probably put pictures up of his latest fling expecting Facebook to handle the privacy settings. I couldn't rat Joe out but it sure as hell wasn't my job to protect him from himself. Or was it. I didn't care, I wanted this shrill dame off my back so I could drink alone in peace.

Besides, only working girls can afford my rates and that's because my rates for working girls are usually on a sliding scale. That is to say, a scale of one through ten. The higher you fall on the scale, the cheaper the work is. The lower you fall, the cheaper the worker is. I struck a match for a cigar before I remembered I was out of cubans. I watched the match burn out before looking down at the melting ice in my empty glass. My senses were close to being unstimulated except for the way the wet ice caught the light and dazzled my drunken mind. Two things were clear. I needed a smoke, and Zuckerberg was behind this. Only one of those things I felt like dealing with right now.

Think of all the money we could save if we all lived in pods. ACTUALLY how about all the money we could save if we were dead. Plus, no more worrying about death! What's the point anyway, right? Let's bring everything back to the universal nihilistic conclusion that every single way we interact with the world is ultimately toxic but WHO CARES because we are doomed from birth to spend our entire lives slowly dying in an uncaring universe that will burn out after aeons of darkness leaving only absolute nothingness, or nothing but nothing and maybe not even that.

Facebook is like STDs. Slashdot users have misplaced pride that they will never have to worry about it.

This. This is it. The ultimate Slashdot post. If Slashdot was a person, this would be the beating heart.

Hey you! We're supposed to be wagging our dicks around about how we don't use Facebook! Cmon get with the program we can't shit up this superintelligent thread about typical web based network traffic patterns and why websites that have reached a certain threshold of popularity are stupid and the users, cattle.
