I'm sorry, but I can't call you a racist until you've paid...

infinite monkey · 02-08-2013, 02:06 PM

Paid...attention? Dues? For gas grass or ass?

He reacted instead of responding, because believe it or not people might feel hurt when you treat them like shit, and those people might not have the best coping skills immediately available to them at the moment.

Richards has said:

And there ain't nothin' sacred in a verbal encounter: I don't care who's been oppressing you for 300 years. You big enough man to start shit? Be big enough man to take shit. (Or woman.)

Now, if you'll excuse me I'm heading off to the White Woman Think Tank they are holding on campus, so we can discuss how far white women have come and be all proud and stuff by excluding people of color. Really? That's racist? Well...that think tank doesn't exist. You might want the other think tank down the hall.

And what is nuttier is that Strom Therman said and did a lot more racists things, like filibustering the civil rights act, and got to keep his job.

Al Gore just sponsored a bill that allowed for the creation of the internet.

He was honored during the Olympic opening ceremony. A whole segment on Britain's technological achievements in the modern age culminated in his appearance.

The NBC commentators with not a shred of irony, said they didn't know who he was and would need to google him.

Here he is talking about how the world wide web happened.

That's the first time in quite a while that I've sat thru an entire 25-min video.
His style of delivery is somewhat erratic, but once you get used to it the second half is well worth while.

But I think he misses a point when he is critical of people who are only using computers
as the "white thing" that they open and link to the web, instead of writing new programs.

Today, computers and programming are akin to automobiles.
Ford and Chevrolet are no longer different cars, except maybe to a few "auto-junkies",
and MS, Apple, and IBM are no longer different computers, except to a few "computer-junkies".

If you want to create something new in either of these fields,
you have to swim upstream against a current of what already exists.
Whatever "new programming" is do-able now has to be compatible with what already exists.

Unfortunately, today's CEO's of MS, Apple, Google, FB, Twitter, Ebay, the chip-makers, etc.
have turned away from creativity ("programming") and are only tinkering around the edges,
or are engulfed in profit-making via patent-infringement battles with one another.

I did very much like his final urging... to use creativity to develop something new starting first,
not with the technica or material aspects, but with changing human interactions.

I don't know about that.

I'm pretty amazed at what my cell phone can do. Video phone calls. Streaming videos to my TV. Asking it questions verbally and getting the answers spoken back to me. Dictating emails and web posts. And it's a computer that comes with me wherever I go.

Just how often should we expect a huge new advance? We didn't have any of that in one package two years ago.
