Ahh.... not really. He crushed your assertions with a well-reasoned post about his personal situation. You didn't do anything to refute a single point. He mentioned having no place to charge, expensive EV motorcycles with shitty range, car dependency in a real area with fewer options, a desire for EVs they don't really make (reasonable priced coupe), and didn't even hit you with "99% of them have DRM'd batteries only the vendor can replace at HUGE cost to the owner", and the only thing you did was just put on your normal smug "Everything you said proves my point" nonsensical response. Hint: nothing he said proves anything you wanted proven. Not even close. It's clear environmentalism is a religion to you, not reality that has to be proved and debated to stand up to real world arguments and situations. It's no wonder that negatively impacts your ability to reason, think critically, or engage with uncomfortable facts.

So you bash the "culture war" but open up with partisan slander and worn-out culture war talking points? How extremely disingenuous.

You're doing exactly what the powerful want: fighting sideways instead of looking up. You intake so much media that they have you convinced it's "the other guys" that are "the problem". It's not. It's the powerful elite who control the media and use it to marionette people like you into wasting your energy so they can enjoy the status quo and gain even more power.

You might be right, but I'd bet it's angry censors who lost their allies at the biggest public forum.

It's the same butthurt censors who lost their power when Pajeet Agrawal and 1000 censor-trash-waste-of-money employees were fired. You're not a troll, you're right.

Irving Fischer argued that. He's probably the dumbest economist in history and got just about everything about the Depression wrong (but his shittake is now standard). I wouldn't go with any assertion by that consummate idiot.

I've worked with approximately 100 H1B folks in different roles in different organizations (my resume is a who's who of large American IT companies). I've worked with exactly three that were "good" and I'd re-hire over your average American. This is just more corporate treachery. I wish the worst on Microsoft and nothing has changed about that since the 1980's. As for India, I'm game to aspirate a bit of fallout if they wanna go ahead and settle things with Pakistan. Of course, IT will just move operations to Romania or the next English-speaking shithole.

The placard at the bottom says “Serve the public trust, protect the innocent, uphold the law.”

Children are subject to the rules of their parents house and the institutions they are forced to attend. There isn't much way around that. So, it's not really a legal-freedoms argument right now unless you think the current interpretation of the law is completely 180' wrong/backwards. Schools can shut down phone-privileges at-will.

Having said that, I don't believe you for one second. You were a complete little authoritarian bitch during CV19 and seemed to favor every draconian action. You're also a fucking fool and nearly always argue from the stupidest possible political viewpoint with some of the weakest reasoning the world has ever known. I doubt there is any government power you wouldn't be an apologist for. You've always been an anti-white racist and I seriously doubt there is any government lockdown, "program", or shit-stupid rule you wouldn't be 100% behind, because you always have been. That goes for the vast majority of the rest of you cocksuckers here on Slashdot, too. I'm just going to stop by as your articles get 5-15 comments and try to half-jokingly help you out buy rubbing shit in your face and reminding you what a bunch of shitheads you've become and how you are about 15-minutes away from "404 not found". Just know I'll be popping a bottle on that day and NOT pouring one out for you.

Since you're going to dump some negative mod points, let me also say: FUCK YOU PEOPLE. There, at least now when you moderate this as a troll I can give you credit for not being utterly full of shit as per your usual moderation.

Palm Inc, Be Inc, HP-UX is done in December, SGI Inc, 3COM, US Robotics, Itanium, Superdome, etc... HP/HPE is a graveyard for technology.

Just like to point out folks dumping negative karma on this thread because they are pissed about having their noses rubbed in it on other threads. Yet another channel for mod-abuse on /.

Yeah, you sound perfectly rational and calm, lol. I'm sure when you say "No scientist ever said that" then I quote one for you who happens to be the head of the CDC you're perfectly sanguine about accepting the L and backing down from your stupidity... oh, wait...

This is like anything involving cryptography. It's fiddly, easy to screw up, failure prone, and usually also hard to understand just for funsies. If even the hotshot cryptographers cant keep from screwing it up, maybe voting on plain old paper ain't so bad, eh? I like the simplicity of replying to "We don't believe the result." with "Okay, there's the ballots. You count them."

Solar Winds monitoring suite was always such a darling and favorite among Windows sysadmins. I remember writing a few custom shell scripts for it's Linux agent years ago. I must admit to a bit of schadenfreude after they stumbled with the security nightmares for a while. However, the stuff I'm seeing now is even worse and more horrifying than anything SolarWinds ever released. After "AI Agents" become the norm, I have a feeling I'll look back on Solarwinds fondly.

I wonder what solar panels do to the land productivity, soil health, and for local plant species? I'm guessing it's like most things and /how/ they do it matters a lot. Seems like in some areas the shade might be welcome and give a chance for other plants and animals to survive.

Did anyone else see those articles about how using drones/robots to dig holes and plant local plants could transform a desert in just a few years? Then there are the machines that can pull moisture from the air to fill tanks. What about the fact that the Sahara desert was once a rain forest? I've seen these foam-throwing cannons mixed with plant nutrients and local seed varieties do wonders on burn scars in my area in just 2-3 years. Doesn't it seem like these huge unproductive tracts of desert could be made much more productive with current know how?
