Am I the only one that thinks this kind of thing would be cool to see? I've seen logs of attacks, but I've never watched a botnet irc live. that would be crazy for me. Not really moving the conversation forward, but is this so commonplace that I'm the odd man for marveling?

To all the "this is just a 10 dollar library card", I ask you this: if library books are the way to go, why do people buy endless amounts of books from amazon. Amazon became successful by selling books. Audible is another successful company that offers a feature that according to you, can be achieved at a library. Clearly libraries are missing something or else we'd be using them more. Maybe it's one click instant access. Maybe it's the larger selection, or that lack of having to wait. Regardless, it's not the same.

"A great leader has to be tolerant of a wide range of social and cultural POV."

First of all, it was made very clear in all the articles on him that he has never shown any mistreatment of anyone because of their sexual preference. It seems that his intolerance isn't in question. If you want to put that quote on anyone, I'd aim it at the leaders of OKCupid. The hypocrisy is so stupid.

No. JUST NO. This is getting out of hand. You want to change the way people think, you do it through public discourse. You want to change the laws, you do it through votes. You lost a vote. Try again next time when you have more support. Don't hate a person and try to ruin their life because you think the world needs to function how you see it. I don't care anymore if I get downvoted. This HAS TO STOP. We HAVE TO STOP THIS. These people are hypocrites and I'm sick of it. I may vote against gay rights laws because they think they can manipulate the system. Sounds pretty stupid, doesn't it. Well, it's the same goddamn thing!

no, this is trolling. Steve Jobs was an asshole, nobody would argue that. He treated people like shit, but he did great things... So, I guess it's ok to own an apple device because, hey, he didn't hate MY culture, he just hates all people. Attacking one man because he disagrees with your political/emotional/sexual views is the problem. As a group that claims accept people that are different, your community comes off as hypocrites. So you only accept people if they're your kind of different?

Did I read this argument right? Is everyone fired up for a guy that voted against some proposition that was against LGBT? Isn't it his right to vote how he pleases? Has he taken any direct action against someone in the LGBT community? Has he shown in the past that his views change the ways he treats people? So, I remember reading about something called the Red Scare that blackballed people because of their political views. Is that really the way the LGBT community wants to be viewed: Love us or we'll ruin your life? People don't see things the same way, and that's their right. People aren't required to see your same point of view. That is one of the great things about America, we can feel however we want. Once there was a time when his views were in the majority, and I think it's a shame that this is how people think it should be solved. If you want to change him, you should make him hate you and ruin his career. I'm not trolling, I'm just reading headlines, and I saw nowhere where this man did anything except vote his mind. Please correct me if I'm in the wrong.

It blows my mind that in a country that preaches a free-market economy, the government is preventing a company from selling a superior product. I'm pretty sure people will still buy the car if they want to, and in time, those car companies will go under anyway, but why slow down progress?

I just got this and tried it out.... awesome. recommend it. My friend and I watched the amusing video and i said, what's 2 bucks. It is just as fast as normal typing but gives me more real estate to see the convo!

also: took me all of 5 seconds to get fluent at it. no joke.

I think this is a great example of both compromise and overreaction. In the end, they are clearly trying to give students the tools they want, but this should have been the first response, not the second. I can't find it now but the other yale student that wrote the chrome extension was the main catalyst. He took the complaints of Yale and removed them therefore forcing them to find new logic, which they did. Hats off to him.

when is the chromecast app going to allow me to just select any video that i view on the internet and click the symbol to stream? I know their big worry is probably pirated movies, but that's not what i want. it's for porn.

I know that the standard way to state ipv4 is 2^32, as it does in the infographic, but isn't that inaccurate? since the 255 is not used, as well as many other reserved IP addresses, shouldn't an infographic actually get the exact IP addresses available, and not the theoretical number that anyone with a calculator can figure out?

mrt0mat0 | 12 years ago | on: Greenwald exits Guardian for new Omidyar media venture

I agree the Guardian is probably one of the few news sources i trusted more than most. I'm thinking he was offered freedoms that the guardian COULDN'T offer him or the chance to run a full team of journalists like himself. I doubt he will be tamed by any organization. We will see.
