The other exception is taking a stance that skill quality and loyalty take a backseat to equality and mediocrity. If everyone makes the same, everyone can be controlled equally. I seem to recall a Silicon Valley commercial from 1984 where a Hooters waitress throws a hammer at a screen to stop...

There's more to consider than just skills though. I would be surprised to find that the males didn't work at least 10-30% more and took less days off and were overall more reliable when needed on short notice. Sure women can be and do all that, but on average men generally work more and put...

This should get pretty interesting on a Raspberry Pi. The performance gain will be huge.

You guys should look up the story of Justina Pelletier before you judge this guy so harshly.

I was all signed up and ready to go until I found out room service charges $18 for a hamburger. Good thing my deposit is refundable!

Last time I watched commercials on TV (several years ago), every commercial break was 3 car commercials, 2 ads for drugs with a side-effects list a mile long, and some network ad for a show I wont watch. Next commercial break it was the same thing again, just in a different order. There's no...

Why do I think the FBI/NSA already knew how to do this and were playing dumb?

I expect with this update will also come with a bunch of stuff that is really CPU intensive so the crashing will be quite noticeable, along with an announcement a week later titled "We told you so".
