Re: A meme-laden soup of troll-tastic nihilistic nonsense

I have, and I'm fairly certain they have too.

That description is spot on.

Re: Look out

"The issue is not that vaping is less lethal than smoking -- it is -- but that you don't want people going from non-smoker to vaper, as that's a retrograde step."

You missed the entire point... and you tried to cover it with a strawman. If teens start vaping instead of smoking ciggs, that's not retrograde. It isn't at all uncommon to create another, different, problem when you solve one. As I see it the problem is that teens lust after adulthood and adult behavior... and you're acting like a symptom is THE problem. Ultimately, If you can reduce harm, you should...

Plenty of other unhealthy FLAVORED things are sold to adults all the time... don't give me that designed for kids crap, adults buy toys for themselves now. Time to stop acting like people grow out of liking things that taste good and are colorful.

BS

There is no such thing as being too late to market with a unique product.

The problem was that they didn't commit to the vision of winphone7... all the core things people did with their phones were super streamlined and built-in.

Winphone8 stopped that and forced everyone back to apps... with the thinking that they would get updates faster. Microsoft should have published (or heavily incentivized) themselves, since attracting devs was already a tall order for a small marketshare phone.

Basically they broke their own feet, and then put their head in a noose... it had nothing do with "being too late"... you trend whore.

Re: pop up a warning?

So... keep people in the dark out of fear of complacency?

I don't want to live on this world anymore.

Re: Public?

No, the "space around" his tweets are what is considered a public forum in this judgement. Not necessarily the platform itself.

Forcing people to mute you is the same as calling security in a meeting... it certainly disrupts the flow, whether you believe it does or not.

While I believe well reasoned dissent should not be blocked... people responding with things considerably more infantile than the original tweet shouldn't be protected in doing so.

Re: Early information

The Brady bill.

Good thing you exposed how stupid you are so I don't have to address anything else you said...

Re: Don't get worked up over each other

i'm actually surprised to find this kind of drivel here...

we have to keep the recent changes (a power grab to legitimize an illegitimate decree) to make sure the web is as open as it ever was... how do more people not see this as complete bullshit? that all traffic should be treated equal? are you serious?!?!

i paid for network priority for over a decade before anyone cared or saw it as a threat.

Re: Loophole

The issue is applying a current robots.txt to an archived version of a site.

For example: Try viewing the official Chevrolet Monte Carlo website from 2006 on archive.org. It reads the current Chevrolet.com robots.txt and disallows access to archived content.

It has nothing to do with current web standards and is solely about how the way back machine handles robots.txt in relation to previously scraped and archived content.

the nokia purchase...

Ballmer was on the right track with windows phone.

The only winphone issue with any real weight behind it was lack of apps... Which is easy to fix, pay them to port their wares.

Then nadella pissed all over everything and Microsoft has no real future...

Re: ID 10 T alert

it actually refers to the right to read some of the president's communications... part of governmental transparency.

it's all bullshit, they want to force him to allow them to harras his account and mock his tweets. the only thing you can't do to a blocked account is: participate in the tweets. you can still see them while logged out.

Re: "his idea should be taken a step further and be implemented with property and cash. "

"The problem is not large landlords." if it isn't now... give Airbnb a few years unchecked.

"You might think this is irrelevant but the prices they will pay jack the price up for every other would-be homeowner in every city where this happens." it's not irrelevant, but not a big factor... Airbnb is a much bigger threat to most people. they allow even your regular homeowner to have the same effect on the market by inflating the value of a home... if you can rent a nice home for $2k/mo or list it on airbnb for a potential $4.5k/mo (assuming fully booked @$150/day) or you could have it sit empty for half the month and make the same money... that's smart business, but it creates the scenario you talk about EVERYWHERE.

Re: Although i profoundly dislike the death penalty...

like money corrects missing out on your children growing up... not to mention the possibility of being killed in prison.

if the burden of proof is high enough, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the ultimate punishment.

Re: Where does the $4.3e9 go?

there's a pretty massive buyback/reimbursement program, but i'm not sure if it is part of this number specifically.

the problem is...

All those things you're so dismissive about ( so what if she destroyed some evidence she was told to retain, who cares?) Would land a normal person in jal for a long time, and we all know it.

Re: Autonomous Cars

to claim that autopilot is at all misleading is stupidity at best.

autopilot doesn't do what you think it does, and that is not tesla's fault.

the name is very accurate... and i'd argue better than its namesake. unless of course plane autopilot has any obstacle detection and avoidance capabilities i'm unaware of...

is it though?

is it still irony if it's complementary to the opposition?

the inverse is true of the left here... doesn't want guns, but killing babies should be completely legal.

Re: An On-Purpose

who taught you people the meaning of the word mistake?

it's merely a wrong action... it can be done intentionally and realized as wrong after the fact.

holy shit they can't even apologize properly to some of you overly sensitive cunts... #NeverApologize

Re: Pirates?

yes, but if they are honest about that... they have very little legal footing to go after users for breaking the system.

interoperability is generally seen as a legitimate reason to break technological restrictions... but not piracy. their lawyers would have to be stupid to have not advised them to sell it as "anti-piracy".

Re: $189,000

assuming these are actual costs, i'd say it's fair given the shared blame nature of most "hacks".

any bad press generated by a company's failure is deserved. he pays for the damage, they pay for the failure.

maybe...

given how he to tries to extort people, i wouldn't doubt he sought out such a jurisdiction.

i would if that was how i was trying to make a living... smarter not harder and all that.

Re: Even though most people evidently prefer Android and IOS

if more people bitched about the problem instead of just settling for overwhelming mountains of shit apps, MAYBE we wouldn't be here.

just a thought from another WinPhone user since WinCE.

suspicion of posession...

Re: Success of the Apple II

that was a "useful" case... not a compelling one.

apple doesn't hold on to market share with useful... plenty of others will do that for a lot cheaper. why do you think the only industry that still clings to macs are creative/designer types? they're compelled to use design oriented products.
