Cancer has definitions outside of biology that fit still... "Racism is a cancer" is a valid use of the term, as well...

You realize that cancer has meanings outside of biological cancer, right?

Cancer isnt a predator... why would you expect that?

So, basically, completely disregard the idea of net neutrality and the sentiment behind it?

Can you find a concrete, non-emotionally biased reason that they should be left alone? They are dead, hey memories live on not in the ship, but in the people who's lives they impacted.

From storeis though, panicked passengers in flight tend to stay calm... there is a sense of helplessness and acceptance that takes over pretty quick when you realize there isnt anything you can do

It's not nearly so complex and conspiracy based... They simply have found issue with dense objects (like books, stacks of paper) hinder the xray imaging they use in the scanners... thats all. Nothing special here... Im sure over some

The problem with blood donation, for me, is the time between donation. I donate plasma twice a week, i have for years now. 880mL of plasma every donation... Whereas blood you have to wait 8 weeks between... Not saying blood is less import

I work for a fortune 500 (wont disclose) but we just shut off email for our entire organization due to this...

That was sarcasm. You act like all ads are malware, when the vast majority are just ads...

by jmcdiesel 9y ago
Black the ads, fine... but when you see ads blocked, leave the site?

by jmcdiesel 9y ago
Yeah, those ads for skis on amazon just wrecking computers left and right...

by jmcdiesel 9y ago
There is a 3rd option. You dont visit the sites that have ads on them. That way, you aren't imposing your will on them, and you aren't taking their work without passively supporting them, and everyone wins. The idea that you&#x2

No, they chose to buy a computer with windows on it... And an article starts with complaining that its not free (money) and not open source - it makes it very clear the level of bias right off the bat.

That being the case, its not made clear that everyone who uses that feature will be identified in a very public manner...

I have installed both multiple times recently... Linus is NOT as easy to install software into, its a different process for different distros... if what you want isnt in the repo of your choice you have to add repos (because politics matter

https://gist.github.com/kobble-git/87ea625d421177f9e9307c6ce... If you think that is ok, you're insane.

Their users don't need to be allowed to freely evaluate the source, period. When you write software, you control its distribution. What the users are free to do, however, is use an operating system/stack that they CAN evaluate th

JKCalhoun, that would be applicable if the Tesla was less safe than other vehicles, but its consistently shown to be more safe than most vehicles... Even the battery fires everyone goes on and on about, Teslas (based on accident rates, to s

Thats a bad analogy. More apt would be "The main doors are manual, but the electric garage doors will not function" ... which is actually a common case in buildings...

by jmcdiesel 9y ago
If it were the only door, that would make sense... with 2 working doors and third rear door, i think its a little bit of a stretch...

Im sure some have, but probably not to the extent. At least the car world is more sane than the aviation world. Here's a fun little side story. Piper aircraft company - they make small general aviation planes - have been out of busine

The door was damaged... no physically, but if it were a hydraulic door and the hydraulic motor was destroyed in the crash, it would be reasonable to expect it to be unable to be opened by hydraulics, right? Same for electric. And there is

Misleading title, access has not been shut off at all. What has changed, is a provider decided not to participate in giving away their services for free, which they should be free to do. FUD Now we're feeling entitled to have someone
