This isn't an argument, it's just contradiction!

Great comment, I'd like to add: Industrial-scale data guzzling is exactly like every vicious playground rumour (or vindictive people you may still be unlucky to know). Think back to school and remember how the bullies never forgot. How

My grandmother wouldn't give her bank details to anyone . She paid all her bills at the bank, cash in hand. She only had a phone line put in in the early 90s. I thought it was extreme at the time, but now who is laughing?

I certainly notice this too. I remember searching for technical queries and would find many (not SEOsplurge) blog posts or random forums where the question is discussed. Now it is just the same stackoverflow answer replicated across multipl

This will come in handy for when someone finally cracks time travel. Time to brush up on the old Latin. And divest from all holdings in Pompeii.

Yeah, predatory practices like these remove all sense of remorse I have when borrowing a PDF from someone else's hard drive. No one should respect companies and institutions that are just out to shaft everyone.

Maybe they were trying to troll everyone with a name that didn't work when said aloud like "slashdot"?

Sorry to hear of these experiences, it should be that you get recognition when you devote a lifetime to a field. But I wonder if this is mostly a US-centric phenomenon. Or maybe it is a tribal mentality, I wonder if web devs of 20 years ago

Yessir! Nothing wins you respect and admiration among the "liberated" population faster than extra-judicial killings!

If someone would do that but for 2005-2010 Bebo, now we'd be flying.

Yeah seconded. I've been lucky enough to know the names from religious education, but if someone has actually done research to show how they eventually helped make British liberalism, I'd like to read that too. But what I recall w

There is truth in this, it increasingly appears that we've just swapped God for the state. Even if the fall of religion was inevitable in the West, a source of objective values distinct from the state hasn't really emerged. "

I once heard that a lot of mental illness originates because no one would come along and say, 'what happened in your childhood was evil', because adjusting to an irrational environment is maddening and leaves deep scars. It's

It's fairly wild down there in the unconscious. Dreams are when it breaks through. Some of the imagery I've dreamt is rich in metaphor, even gave me life messages and this has subsequently raised my respect for the bits of the bra

I knew they'd lost it when they rebranded Hotmail as Outlook. Now I have to use extra words when I want to clarify whether it is the desktop program or the web service. Or Xbox One, which previously meant 'the first Xbox', bu

I read they were swapping some components for FOSS equivalents, so perhaps it is a result of that.

Imagine if it was preserved as a historic model town, much like the Cultra Folk Museum, but for the 1980s instead of the 1940s. Some photos of that museum here: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=cultra+folk+museum+geograph&t=fpa

I recently looked into LJ, it looks to be a better take on social media than many things that came after. Many ancient blogs are still live, documenting daily struggles and ramblings from 2003. It could be written into social history.

There is a book by one Stuart Ashen called 'Terrible Old Games You've Probably Never Heard Of' and a quick leaf through that will dethrone ET very quickly.

It has seeped into even major UK broadsheets like the Telegraph. They printed a sympathetic article on how uncomfortable it was for a steward to award a Russian tennis player the winning prize. Baffling. Usually these sentiments are decried

I just needed to highlight the irony in condemning me for bringing up the past, then you bring up the past and use that to condemn the British people. All in the same post. Congratulations.

There was a time when someone ran a bot on /g/ where every post that mentioned just 'Linux' would get the full 'Excuse me...' copypasta interjected. Good times.
