Holy fuck man. Go touch some fucking grass. I'm sure the OP is well aware of that but the VAST majority of people aren't, and they don't give a shit. They just care about whether they can get to the website or not.

The slave that Grant owned was inherited from his wife's family, an ardent supporter of southern slavery. Grant actually freed their slave against the wishes of his wife's family.

The amount of people tripping all over themselves to clamor on about how the only acceptable version of a word processor was from 30 years ago is amusing. While the headline is click bait, its kind of ridiculous that everyone on this forum is so passionately convinced that this relatively minor change will "destroy their whole workflow." Get over yourselves and go back to your typewriters and text editors if this change bothers you so much. Its a few clicks to disable this new setting and you can go about your merry ways bemoaning about how the world of green screens and punch cards was so much better.

I got you all beat. I carve my writings in stone and then transfer it manually to my workstation in assembly language where I proceed to print it via a parallel port and dot matrix printer.

From the summary: "The company has not disclosed financial information since 2015, the SEC says." If a company on the exchange hasn't disclosed financial information since 2015, why are they still even ON the exchange?

In the same sense as I liked the Dodge Turbo from The Wraith for its B-Movie (good) bad Sci-Fi

Says the Anonymous Coward... This is why I've left a lot of the online tech community behind. A bunch of incel racist cowards such as yourself, too afraid to put a name to your vile garbage Go back worshipping at some altar of worthless alt right garbage and slither into whatever toxic goo you congealed from.

All grammar and sentence structure issues aside (yes I'm a grammar stickler), this comment is spot on.

Two completely absurd "points" in your argument. 1: Show evidence that the multistate outbreak of measles has been definitively traced to "an illegal" immigrant. 2: Thimerosal is rarely used as a preservative in vaccines these days (and since 2001) so the entirety of your argument regarding that is wrong.

Sorry for the run on sentence. /. mobile apparently dislikes carriage returns.

This thread perfectly illustrates the point by the OP. Everyone immediately turned on each other claiming that "THEIR WAY was the ONLY way" and "all other opinions were shit." Everyone immediately went to discussing the underlying technology of their preferences vs the point that THAT is the problem. Nobody gives a flying **** if you've been compiling your own desktop environment and workflow for the past 30 years. Nobody cares that YOU like x package manager over y. Its irrelevant. You aren't more or less linux than anyone else. The Linux community is virtually without equal in its ability to cannibalize itself with infighting and elitism. The major survivors, Ubuntu, RedHat among a few others quickly realized that trying to unify the rabid base into any cohesive strategy was pointless and worthless. Too much vitriol. I'm not the biggest fan of Linus at times but he is on point here. Of course the opposing point of view that Linux doesn't need a standard desktop is just as valid. There are plenty of "easy button" Linux desktop solutions in the marketplace and a little bit of research will show that basically everyone can get almost anything working on nearly any flavor.

And yet, you are so threatened by the idea that a women could be a talented scientist that you are projecting what YOU think by claiming its what he really thinks. Both of these young scientists are gifted contributors to the greater understanding of our universe who have BOTH stated they were mere members of a larger team. YOU however, are a coward hiding behind anonymity, terrified of anything that remotely impacts your false narrative of reality.

Is the Mom Corp "Eye Phone" the first thing that comes to anyone else's minds or is it just me.

Only on Slashdot could a company like Microsoft issue a well worded statement on performance degradation in relation to a hardware issue they have no control over, and be vilified over it and subjected to bullshit standard conspiracy theory garbage. Actually I take that back. They'll be vilified out of principle on pretty much every tech news site.

Its Slashdot. I expect nothing less. When the OP's thread subject has the word "Appdoze" in it, you can basically discount it as bullshit hyperbole. I'm half shocked he didn't spell Microsoft with a $.
