   Troll? "Pot to kettle, pot to kettle - you are black". So you're literally re-stating that it is in some part my fault, with different words - "You do have a responsibility, even if you really don't want it...&quot

   So by that logic, my choice of not-moving to Atlanta, Gary, or any other economically-disadvantaged area contributes to those places' continued slide into a lawless hellhole too, right?

   Endemic discrimination while renting an apartment? Nope. Owning a house? Haven't achieved that yet, but I haven't exactly been trying. While shopping? Nope. Walking around town? Nope. Driving? If I'm speeding and/or

   I don't know about you, but I am responsible for my own actions. I don't need a hug from Whitey or anyone else to know the difference between right and wrong, or hard work versus sloth. If you do, I feel bad for you son. I choo

   So what should white people have done in the past/what should they do in the future, to not be guilty of these terrible social sins that appear to be their fault no matter what actions they take?

   No, and yes. If I leave a location, I am so incredibly not-responsible for what happens to it after I'm gone. If you think otherwise, I suspect you have some cause-and-effect bits in your brain that are irreparably damaged.

   Excuse me? I grew up in Detroit and Flint, and come from a broken family. I earned my way up and out of those particular hell-holes, making my way to the East Coast and lately the West. Please, do tell me more about how I haven't in

    Wait, explain to me slowly how it's white-people's fault that an area deteriorates after they move out. Generally the absence of a person means they relinquish responsibility for what goes on in a place that they aren't occu

    I think if the alternative is a psycho/collection of psychos gaining access to the cockpit, a puddle/pile on the floor is a reasonable outcome in that situation.

    That's great, but where do you buy one? I see a lot of cheesecake media downloads but no "order here" or "buy now" buttons.

    The article brought up one dissenting judge's opinion, and a whole lot of sour grapes at 'losing' the Heller case. From the Oxford English Dictionary, and bracketed in the time of the writing of the 2nd amendment: 1709:

    Well, except for the 2002 Monash University shooting, the 2011 Hectorville Siege, Hunt Family murders in 2014, Logan Shooting in 2014, etc. That's just 'massacred committed with firearms'. There's a fair number of stab

    What I'm about to say may be considered harsh, but I promise I don't mean it to be. Quit. Just leave. Go back to coding. It's obvious you don't enjoy management, there's no shame in admitting that. Rather than i

    Because $tech_forum and $language_forum are different environments for different topics. Topics for one would rightly be OT in the other.

    I could not disagree more stridently. If the goal is clear, concise communication, the ask-er should be reasonably fluent in the language they presume to get a response in. If I had to start asking questions in a primarily-Japanese tech f

    Harley Davidson has an e-motorcycle in development. I've ridden a prototype, they are quite fun. No word on when it's available for sale though.

    They missed an opportunity to make a completely oblique literary reference by not calling it 'ptmux' (for the Pratchett fans in the audience).

    That... is awesome. Having done a Rift demo, that's the closest I can conceive of (right now) as real-life wizardry - a terminal for (virtual) reality.
