WWARS (What Would Ayn Rand Say)
"Money should be restricted to your social betters."
Also, she'd probably write a masturbation fantasy for rich people, about how much their social inferiors would suffer after a Rapture of the Rich.
This is supported by the same people who are outraged at wasteful government spending, right?
A real tear jerker, it was.
In 2100 they'll probably still be a lot cooler than Kansas.
I suspect that the USSR was never so different from the way we were then as the propagandists would have us believe. Rigged elections? Media that didn't inform the public what was going on? Warfare and bullying as a way of achieving the top dog's "national" goals?
After all, here is a guy (who insists on using a juvenile nickname) who had the wool pulled over his eyes by perhaps one of the most successful psychopaths of this and the last century: Steve Jobs. Do you really think this guy is qualified?
It's not obvious that Jobs snowed him; I suspect that they always had motivations and goals that were nigh orthogonal.
Apparently SCOTUS just ruled that you can't patent 'natural' DNA.
The molecules that make up the cells and neurons still swap out regularly.
Apparently they don't substantially replace themselves, or else the C-14 thing in the prior article would not work.
This is why it's interesting that the people who pay the bills are finally calling "bullshit" on the devs' idiot ideas. Red Hat largely didn't care because their market is basically command-line; but GNOME 3 sucked hard enough that their paying customers were displeased.
If it is possible for a new desktop to be better than its predecessor, then it is possible for it to be worse.
The users largely hate GNOME 3. Therefore, it has failed user acceptance testing. It is worse than its predecessor.
In this case, it's Red Hat - who pay many of the remaining GNOME devs - saying "dunno what you're here for, but we're here to serve our users." It's nice someone is.
Consciousness is already immortal. We are the universe itself, believing otherwise is believing in the illusion of separateness.
That's pretty deep for Slashdot.
and if not and he then later reassembles all of the old rotten beams which is the real argo?
I think the witch test would actually work here: drop them in water, and if sinks it's the real thing.
Who'd want to live forever on a someone's smart phone?
...and not one question about how long it would take the NSA to get a court order allowing them to copy your memories from whatever system you have them coppied to?
Apparently they don't need to get a court order anymore. (Some people are saying that *that* is the real scandal.)
