Comment Re:None of them are being shot? (Score 1) 112

I'm disappointed that no one is shooting them. That would be the American way!

Contrary to what you might've heard about America, it's usually illegal to actually fire a gun outside of a gun range, hunting area, or self-defense situation. So, you'd be adding another crime on top of destruction of property.

I am an American, have been for all of my 57 years. I'm actually a certified pistol, rifle and shotgun instructor, a certified range safety officer, and a concealed carry instructor. And while I wouldn't recommend it, it's not at all hard to get away with shooting outside of one of those situations.

Also, it was a joke.

Lawsuits are not guilty verdicts. Also, "lines of code" have nothing to do with whether they were copied, as in copy-paste, or filtered through somone's brain first.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about and are too lazy to even do a simple Google search, so what youthinks is pretty irrelevant.

You have to offend more than one person to get (and stay) modded down in /. , even if you believe you're posting the truth

That's not quite true. You only need to offend one person to get modded down. However, if you also provide value, then you will probably not stay modded down. My karma has only been anywhere other than right up against the kap a couple of times in the last... uh, long time.

I suspect because you're always such an asshole

Pot kettle black, fucker. You never use a nice word where a rude one will do. I answer rudeness with rudeness and I won't apologize for that, people who are dicks deserve dickery.

Right now things aren't at the point where someone can create a viable software product that, for example, an big-bucks "enterprise" would pay for.

Have you seen the garbage big-bucks "enterprises" will pay for? I thought you said you were experienced. If you only know code and not anything about business maybe you should calm down and take a breath here.

I mean have you seen the shit they didn't ban people for?

I mean have you seen the thing where Zuckerfuck called people who trusted him enough to give him their personal info for facebook "dumb fucks"? You should expect Facebook to intentionally not ban the worst people, if you are familiar with what a piece of shit Mark Fuckerberg is.

Did you mean: converged?

No. It literally wrote it "coverged". Now that I'm at my desktop I can just write it.

Also, the correct word is COVERED so even if it did write "converged" that would have been incorrect. But it didn't. Instead it wrote something that isn't even a word. That is the level to which Google has fallen.

Comment Fuck off about Taylor Swift, grandpa (Score -1, Flamebait) 36

it's worth mentioning that big acts like Taylor Swift already do something similar. A lot of her songs began life in loop-based music editors (which operate by mixing sampled recordings of beats, riffs, bass lines, melodies, etc., rather than traditional notation), and it's only after the fact that actual musicians do the painstaking job of remaking them, by ear, into something that can be performed by a live band with real instruments.

Not worth mentioning at all. Artists use modern tools. If you don't like it?...cool, listen to what you like, but FUCK RIGHT OFF with that attitude towards other people who like the sound of electronic music or music made with modern technology. That stupid story is as old as time "these kids and their new hits...it's not "REAL" music." I don't like Taylor Swift. She's boring to me, but that's just me having bad taste in music. Most of my favorite music is objectively worse. I get tempted to complain about autotune because I don't like the sound...but then I just sound like every asshole complaining about rap in the 80s or synthesizers in what...the 70s? 80s? Oh noes...a drum machine?!?!?!...what is this world coming to??? So yeah, my opinion is that I don't enjoy autotune, but my opinion is no more or less valid than anyone else's.

Music is very diverse today and yeah...some is a lot harder to do than others.

However, I have ABSOLUTELY NO RESPECT for music craftsmanship. Fuck off with that shit....I don't care how hard it is to play that guitar solo if it sounds boring and tedious. I don't care how many instruments they used in their song if it sucks. I've never heard a drummer rave about a drum solo that actually sounded good to me.

A lot of great music I've heard was from some teenager playing on his home computer with no musical training or skill. Hell, that describes the early rave scene I'm so fond of. You want to listen to music with traditional notation and exclude Taylor Swift because she doesn't use it?...fine....but you sound like an asshat yucking other people's yum and pretending you have some legitimacy.

I hate a lot of music myself...much of which is from very popular and talented artists...but that's my failing...not theirs. You can manufacture whatever excuse you like, but you simply don't like Taylor Swift...that's fine....but your opinion is just an opinion....even if it is one I share. She is objectively a talented individual who is dedicated to her craft and has a huge following. I have no desire to dissuade people from enjoying her music or prefer my favorite music more.

I don't think a woman can be elected. This isn't a statement that one shouldn't be, it's an estimation of the voters.

Adding that 49.8% of voters did re-elect a man found liable of sexual assault, who undeniably, obviously, constantly lies, over the 48.3% who wanted a black woman and 36% (90 million) of eligible voters who did not vote at all. I'll add that the first and third stats are pretty sad. On the upside, we didn't get those sky-high prices and new Middle-East wars Trump promised Harris would give us - hooray! /s (*heavy-sigh*)

Yes, you can. If you want full physical separation, it gets pricey. Back in late 1960s, early 1970s, the Bell System did it for their switches. They were a regulated monopoly, so they earned 12% on whatever money they spent on network infrastructure. So far as I know, no private company has done the full separation thing since.

2) nobody wants to read a forum thread with over 100 posts to try to find the one post with the real answer surrounded by a collection of bad answers and people saying "YUP, IT WORKS NOW" with zero context otherwise.

This has been a solved problem for a long time with quite often the correct answer being highlighted or original posts updated. But that's beside the point. If you trust the AI answer, you're not going to click an article or a forum link regardless of whether they show ads or highlight a solution.

Though sometimes you do need to dig deeper. Google's AI never answered WHICH glue to use to keep cheese from sliding off a pizza, you'll need to actually read the reddit post for that.
