This is curiously always stated, but never referred or quoted, even out of context. If you're going to make strong assertions on persons character you better have the ability to back it up. It's not my job to dig up this material.

It's difficult to find things you want. Application paradigm is broken down and it's incompatible with previous model. What was a nested directory is suddenly a flat list, with even all the unessential help text files. The new &qu

Firefox back then, when it was "Phoenix" was a very light browser, while still being completely functional. That's the main reason I used it.

FWIW my biggest intelligence boosts are as follows: sleep, exercise, proper diet, no depression.

It would be interesting if instead of windows, people wore (as an option) something like the ideal version of Oculus Rift, or some other form of VR/AR. Traveling 1Mm/h and it all feels like flying through the air in a comfy seat.

It does not help to be mad at reality. Reality does not care. Ironically I'm also a victim of the same generalization process. It is assumed that most people can't separate logic of reality and actions based on emotional morality.

Girl players on average are worse than boy players. Yes, this is a stereotype. But a stereotype based on experience instead of prejudice. Don't like it? Get more girls playing computer games and being good at it.

Well, I snack constantly, but my diet consists mostly of vegetables, fruit, nuts, meat and water. I haven't had weight issues yet. If my snack consist of one carrot, one apple, handful of nuts or one orange, it's not that bad. Doesn't hurt

The utility of Bitcoin doesn't change even if its value drops close to zero, unless you can't buy anymore Bitcoin to facilitate your trade, in which case the price of Bitcoin will go up because of more demand. It can't fail while there is d

Yes, jumping to conclusions, arguing with pure conjecture, having no patience nor empathy. Those are things that I often bump into when discussing about various things in the internet. It's hardly new. Claiming that someone is a troll requi

Privilege is a heavily loaded word that is difficult to use in context of contructive discussion. You are by default swallowing the feminist bait and playing by their rules. Making it impossible to gain any ground because of fallacious, cir

This is silly. Just because Scalzi has problems with listening to what people are saying, does not mean that everyone else has. Also, just because it's good to listen, emphatize and understand where people are coming from, it's not good for

I think the word nerd is like that other n-word. It's fine when it's used inside the nerd-dom, but it is offensive when used by someone who is not a nerd themselves. At least it is for me. Maybe it's just because I grew up in the 80's when

I have two exceptions to free speech: child porn and hate speech. Doxxing is dangerously close to hate speech. Its only purpose is to root out the guy or girl who made a controversial statement and punish him or her for making it. Without a

What is exactly wrong with taking pictures of clothed people on public places without their knowledge? I thought this happens all the damn time. Before the collective PC hysteria I saw /r/creepshots mostly as an oddity. Strange people doing

Because you do not see it, nor experience it, it does not exist. Okay then. If you ever sunk into a deep depression and then got out with perfectly working medication you would see for yourself very clearly. But such is life.

I don't see conflating racism, sexism and ageism very useful. They all have different causes and validity, depending on context. Does attaching -ism after the word "nerd" make nerds suddenly an oppressed group? There's nothing wrong with di

I suggest visiting your local recycling center, if you are on a budget. I got mine for 7 euros. It would cost 250 euros if bought new. Works perfectly. Has just lost a little paint on the legs. Picked it from a mixed pile of 40 different of

If you take my argument to a hyperbole, it is obviously not going to work. Men and women are not clones of each other. We have different values and different needs. Different challenges. According to those drives we act in the most efficien
