> In fact Hamas has stated they would respect a two-state solution

Sure, but will they agree to actual terms? Terms that Israel won't instantly reject?

> In fact, the evidence against them is much stronger

I don't think you can get much stronger than "bragged about it on tape".

What do other companies do with people who have to evaluate content like this?

> No one said that they are not allowed to have their own culture

No, people just constantly assert that other cultures are better and that Americans should adopt their values instead.

> more morning traditions

I have enough shit to do in the morning, and I'm not waking up earlier.

But really, why? Why can't America just do things the American way? Why do people reject the idea that Americans are allowed to have their own culture?

and in exchange they have turned their name to trash. I know they do are doing some quality work and I still feel a bit dirty clicking on an article from buzzfeed.

why?

> That's damning for a company with Facebook heft behind it

That's not great when their target market is gamers, a large number of whom distrust facebook, love valve, hate the idea of a VR device trying to become a walled garden, and are generally entitled jerks who will whine and cry and talk about how they are never buying an oculus product because palmer lied about the price/sold out to facebook/whatever.

> Instead we're left with shitty USB

How is USB not a fantastic answer to the problem you described?

> just like the PC ate up the homecomputers

Ever increasingly cheap and plentiful clones made computers finally cheap enough for anyone to own?

Phones are already way beyond that point.

> where if a user needs more ram he would just add more, if he needs a new processor he would just replace the current, if he needs a higher resolution display the old just would get replaced.

Why would I ever want to deal with that?

No one wants to deal with that. Just works is way better than endless tweaking.

Why?

Yes. It is language policing nonsense. Quit trying to tell people how to talk because of imagined slights.

> Limiting them city by city, county by county could make trouble for a lot of people

No it fucking won't.

Wow, such small/local government.

That's gonna be kind of hard if it doesn't actually use Linux.

It's not dual intent for one thing. I have a TN but my company put in for H-1B for me so that I could switch and then have the option to get sponsored more easily if I decide I want a green card.

TN you can do it, but it's messier.

> The fact is that everyone knows that Silicon Valley corporations like Google, Facebook, and Apple use H1B fraud to suppress (steal) wages.

Just how much do you think they should be paying?

> Look at the job descriptions on the H1B disclosure sites...those are all just regular jobs in Silicon Valley anyone would do for the right money...

and they hire loads of Americans as well. They hire people who pass the interview.

You would tank salaries.

So what, give out a participation ribbon?

> the top users of H1s are foreign companies, like Infosys and Tata - they bring in people on these visas

IIRC the top 10 were all consulting companies the last few years. You can look at the pay rates vs google/MS/etc... and see the difference. You can also look at the number of green card sponsorships.

It's really awful.

How many years has it been and they still haven't come up with anything?

Go doesn't have generics because they don't want them.

Developers do what the business wants them to.

> Yes, you have some extra code in your code base so it's less clean. You also have a stable environment as a result. The first affects only your personal preference. The latter affects all of your developers and users.

No, the former results in a bloated code base full of old legacy crap that no one understands and is afraid to touch because it might break. You have to insert weird workarounds because that bug is now a feature to some idiot and you provide backwards compatibility so it lives forever now.

and we get yelled at when we can't deliver a feature because some gatekeeper is sitting atop his little throne in the kingdom of servers saying no. ;)

This is institutional failure.

Old version of OpenSSL. Still vulnerable to padding attack.

Half Life 3 Confirmed.

Next year will the be the "year of the linux desktop".

I got an F.

I should probably update things.

being able to install it doesn't make it part of android.

> To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?

RMS a nag? No way, I can't possibly believe that.

They just moved fast and broke things.

Now they move slow with broken things.
