APK: Stop flooding the forum with your idiocy, asshole.
Will you just fuck off and die already, you worthless shit?
Nobody likes you! And your hostsfile shit is garbage that nobody uses. Just shut the fuck up.
"Not being allowed to live in a cardboard box" is against the U.S. Constitution, and all manner of decency....and anyone who would pass such illegal and immoral laws ought to be dragged out behind the barn and shot in the face.
And/or hung from the tallest tree.
"Because you aren't paying for it. "
You don't get it.
Microsoft's original argument for not providing security patches for XP was that it was no longer cost effective to do so.
Now they are getting paid to develop patches for XP.
A patch is a tiny file that can be copied infinite number of times, practically for free.
Once the patch has been developed, why the hell shouldn't everyone benefit from it?
There is no logical reason, other than Microsoft are greedy fucks.
Now all the niggers will be floating around on hoverboards, too.
Do they take EBT cards?
Fuck all of our lives...
You're not being censored and it's not that people necessarily disagree with you, but this type of alarmism is simply unconstructive.
Alarmism? Since when is telling the truth considered "alarmism"?
Oh yeah....since your ilk took over this formerly great nation and dragged it into the ground with your never-ending desire to never ever hear the truth about anything.
Identify the specific problems you find in society and work toward a positive change
Let me guess--by voting, right?
Voting does not work.Wake up. This system is too corrupt to be saved. This was recognized in the 1880s by the Jehovah's Witnesses. If you're so God damned smart, why are you still not 'getting it' in 2015?
or just sit back and ride it out, but don't stall out in the middle just getting all pissed off, it achieves nothing.
You have no clue what you're talking about. Read a history book some time.
"That's why Europeans"
Europeans, as individual people, and as a whole? Or "Europeans" meaning the corrupt and wicked leadership of certain countries?
"Uhh, something is backwards about this..."
Yes, it's definitely backwards to allow the Nazi regime to turn one's country into a battleground.
And, pray tell, what does protesting actually *do*? By your own admission all your protests amounted to nothing. You failed. Those who wanted the war succeeded.
It's not over til it's over, fuckwit.
Finding out there were no WMD in Iraq in no way vindicates you, because those who wanted the war didn't care about the WMD, they cared about the result which was invading Iraq. And they reached their objective. You did not.
Why do you keep speaking in the past tense, like history is completely over with and written?
The Nazis succeeded in placing themselves into power, too. They succeeded in a lot of things. And then what happened?
They're still in place, ruling and making money, and you are where? And now tell me I should have a reason to go and join your useless "protests". For what? Nothing?
Nobody is telling you anything. You have been written off as the piece of shit you are, by every decent person. Anything the GP posted was the benefit of intelligent and decent people, who are unlike you in every way
The satisfaction of "having been on the right side"? Thanks but no, thanks.
Translation: you're an immoral piece of shit.
I have a family to feed, including two kids born after 9/11. They will grow up knowing nothing else beside the Surveillance Society. They won't miss anything, if there's anything to be missed.
The system that you so idiotically believe is going to be around forever and ever and ever (kinda like the Nazis 1000 year reich, right?) has few enough years left in it that one can count them on approximately one hand.
Your children will in fact grow up being taught to believe that everything you believed was a lie, and completely fucking idiocy to boot. They will despise you and everything you "stood" for...which was nothing, except petty self-interest. You are a despicable piece of shit, according to God, and according to future historians.
This is even assuming your children survive the coming world war, of course...which is doubtful.
You ivory-tower kids should get into those precious skulls of yours that we real people have real issues to care about, like mortgages and bills to pay to care about that highfalutin' crap you get all sweaty about.
I'm a redneck from the hills of Alabama who has been oppressed by this God damned system all his life, and will stand for it no longer. You stupid fuck. Furthermore, we live in a world that is sick to death of the typical American's insane bullshit. You and your fellow fuckwits are about to be bombed into radioactive ash. When your fucking house burns down around your ears, how does that change your calculus, asswipe?
We can't afford to end up in some watchlist. I've seen people singled out and either having promotions denied or being dismissed right away after they got called to the police station once too many to explain why they had been seen in some protest where "people known to the authorities" were present and if they were absolutely sure they didn't know them. Yeah, ok, it's a police state? So what? I can't do anything about it and neither can you, mister
Bottom line is you are a cowardly, worthless slave, who has no business at all living in a free country. You are a piece of shit and an affront to everything this country once stood for.
Die slowly in a fire.
Late night visits by the local PD or shifty government employees "suggesting" you stand down?
Yes indeed. During the 2012 "election" season I wrote an email to some GOP fuckwit telling him what a moron he was. Some short, fat cunt from the FBI showed up at my door flashing her badge and asking me why I was "threatening" people online. I told her I hadn't threatened anyone, and that I had nothing further to say to her, and closed the door.
A week later, the nearby university police (note: NOT the police from the city I was living in, who knew me) showed up at my door with a search warrant, to look for a "stolen iPhone" which had supposedly been taken from the university gym, a place I hadn't been anywhere near in over a year. Indeed, I hadn't really been anywhere at all, since I was living as a hermit and spending long hours writing computer software in my home, minding my own business.
Which is the conclusion the cops inevitably came to as well, after finding nothing more than old computers and boxes of uniforms and military gear from my years of "service." (To Satan, who rules over this evil nation.) Not even a damn TV, let alone stolen electronics.
I'm not interested in hearing any of the alternative interpretations and inevitable excuses your brainwashed and mind fucked ilk always offer to "explain" how everything I've just told you is actually wrong, and that I'm really a bad guy who brought this on myself. No I didn't, you fucking asshole. This happened because we are living in a wicked, corrupt system, that is in fact much, much worse than the God damned Nazis ever thought about being. And you're a bastard for making excuses for them.
It's a lucky thing I didn't own any iPhone, and it's a damn lucky thing these particular cops were decent people, cause I might have been fucked over completely and put through the "legal" system meat grinder, instead of simply having my dignity and privacy violated, with complete strangers rifling through every inch of my shit before leaving in embarrassment themselves. Oh yeah, and if they'd gone out into the shop and found my weed garden then I really would have been fucked. But they didn't. Because they were decent people, thank God.
There's your enlightenment. Now go fuck yourself with a sword, asshole.
"The problem with labelling something no better than a placebo as "healthcare" is that people who could benefit from real treatments can be led to use a placebo as a replacement for actual effective treatments"
If, after you have made a valiant attempt to educate these pool souls using all the logic and reason you can muster, they still decide to use homeopathy anyway....that's their God given right. And you have no say whatsoever in the matter. Because it's none of your fucking business.
It's time for you and your ilk to kindly shut the fuck up. Stop trying to argue people into government slavery, asshole. You are a moron. What makes you think a moron such as yourself should have any control over other people's lives? Mind your own business.
"There is never shortage of ignorance in this world."
Sure there is....just after mass delusion and profound ignorance results in total chaos and destruction, involving the deaths of billions. When the dumb fucks succeed in extinguishing themselves, things do change.
"So CryEngine on Linux means a lot of Valve games will become Linux+SteamOS games overnight?"
No, it's simply another sign the SteamBox is indeed having a positive effect on Linux gaming, just like clueful people always knew and have been pointing out this whole time, even as clueless cynics such as yourself stand on the sidelines and continue to loudly naysay. It's almost like you want Valve/Steam/Linux to fail, and are irritated that they're not.
"Valve has like 10,000 games on Steam. 3,000 of them run on Linux."
Your point is what? That 1/3 of Steam games are already Linux compatible, and growing? Sounds like you agree that Linux gaming is being taken more and more seriously by the masses.
When you stop living in the past, and stop pointing to the current "in this moment" state of things as if that's concrete and undeniable proof that everything will always remain exactly the same forever, then maybe you will have some hope of actually understanding what the future looks like.
Free clue: it's the trend that matters....which does have causes that can be understood and measured.
People are moving away from Microsoft because it's shit. In fairness Linux is mostly shit too, but less so....and SteamOS/SteamBox is an excellent idea that is understandably gaining momentum.
I for one welcome our new CRYENGINE overlords! And I might remind our masters that as a particularly acerbic slashdot commentator, I could have some value in supervising their coder-slaves as they toil in the dark recesses of the Linux command line, building custom packages to serve various nefarious ends.
"They contribute to your life by wearing the risk that you are unable or unwilling to wear yourself."
And what if I'm perfectly willing and able to "wear" risk myself, but am prevented from doing so by insurance scammers who pay the government to hold a gun to my head and force me to purchase their "product"?
"But I'd much rather deal with their crap than face financial ruin."
Buying insurance prevents you from facing financial ruin? Really?
Insurance is a racket. Only an irresponsible moron buys any kind of insurance, ever. Responsible people take responsibility for their own selves, and do not expect others to take responsibility for them.
I've got some ideas for a new type of discussion system that has never been implemented before, but which is way better than anything anyone else is using. If someone wants to build a better slashdot, get in touch and let's talk. I'm so sick of this piece of shit. Replacing slashdot is not enough; we need to take down reddit too. Who wants to create the best forum on the internet?
Anyone else think it's stupid for a site to make people wait half a fucking hour between posting comments? Especially when said site could use all the comments it can get? Especially when one has a brand new account and would like to simply begin posting without being nannied and controlled and made to wait? Especially when the sole karma one has been able to earn over the past week is one solitary -1, Flamebait by some prick (or Dice employee) who didn't get the joke? This site is fundamentally broken in so many ways.

"The problem with labelling something no better than a placebo as "healthcare" is that people who could benefit from real treatments can be led to use a placebo as a replacement for actual effective treatments; if the placebos don't work, they may have just aggravated the health issue by delaying real treatment."
Well it's a good thing the "professional doctors" and "scientists" don't ever use placebos themselves for any reason. Cause then folks might call them hypocrites.
Your mode of life will be changed to EBCDIC.
