twitter is the worst

the other thing is linkedin. most competent people dont bother with it. but there is a hard core of linkedin users who want you to believe that they are employable. they are doing this by getting their agents into prominent media positions to forward the linkedin agenda telling you that you are scum for not being on it.

but twitter is like that but without the aspect of anyone getting a job at the end of it. pure evil.

Re: THE POWER CABLE WILL COME OUT REGULARLY

you cant just admit that the weird way apple do it counter to everyone else, could be wrong. They do it different because they are the only people who are right. hahaha well you would think that if you spent all your money on this crap. but im loaded so my perception isnt so distorted.

Re:WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

Probably: oh look the connector comes out because we designed the unit wrong, what should we do? Put a last minute flange on there.

The Alpha Klutz

Re: It was two years later I discovered the lead was simply an IEC plug with a flange

Well there you go you see, the flange confused you for two full years. No other computer has a power flange.

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

Re: Promise me as much as you like...

you are using the crap non standard apple connector that looks like a shoe string compared to the genuine article. I'm sorry, but re-read my post where I said I use a UPS. You are wrong.

The Alpha Klutz

Re: THE POWER CABLE WILL COME OUT REGULARLY

Looks like I'll have to get the glue gun out.

And The USB connectors suffer from the same problem. They are mounted vertically so the connectors just slide about when you tilt the screen. My 2.5" backup drive that I rubber banded to the back of the unit, also disconnects on a regular basis. It really is crappily designed in a lot of ways.

Re: THE POWER CABLE WILL COME OUT REGULARLY

i hope whoever thumbed me down buys this and loses all their files when the power cable comes out. I don't make this shit up for my health.

The Alpha Klutz

Re: THE POWER CABLE WILL COME OUT REGULARLY

you wonder why every single flat screen monitor in the world has the IEC connector parallel with the unit. Not Apple in their infinite wisdom.

The Alpha Klutz
FAIL

THE POWER CABLE WILL COME OUT REGULARLY

I have the thick chunky model and i promise you the power cable will not stay seated in the back of this thing. When you tilt it up and down it works its way out. I use a regular IEC plug from a UPS so not the crappy plug Apple sent me which I cant use. I crash my system once a month simply by tilting the screen. The thin one will be worse, I promise you.

Trolls and their ilk now file majority of patent suits

Re: i dont think a patent system is fair

its a good old boy club basically. i promise you, the number of things I've "invented" that appeared in the shops later, if i was a psychopath with a patent lawyer, I would be rich by now, I assure you.

The Alpha Klutz

Re: i dont think a patent system is fair

the patent system rewards those who know how to manipulate complex bureaucratic systems: psychopaths are especially good at this. That explains why people like Thomas Edison get patents and why they love them so much.

What does a scanner see?

Into the head? Down into the heart? Does it see into me, into us? Clearly or darkly? I hope it sees clearly, because I can't any longer see into myself. I see only murk. I hope for everyone's sake the scanners do better. Because if the scanner sees only darkly, the way I do, then I'm cursed and cursed again. I'll only wind up dead this way, knowing very little, and getting that little fragment wrong too.

Android is malware

I use an Android phone. it is the third worst phone ever behind iPhones and Blackberries. basically if you want to be spied on, its great. There is so much spying it is almost as bad as the iPhone but they dont even do it nicely its like being gang raped

IN 2026 I PREDICT

An army of DNA wardens will go around swabbing people and handing our petty fines for unauthorised variations in DNA. The government will have to make money somehow and nobody will drive in 2026 due to being in a police state at the time.

Are we really prepared to say

That what a scientist calls "damaged DNA" or "damaging variations" or, fuck it, lets just go out in the open and call them Bad Genes like the old school eugenicists did. Anyway, are we really prepared to believe that what a scientist may look at and call Bad Genes, are not actually the source of the human soul?

Re: patents are for satan worshippers

and of course we know from bitter experience that many patents are simply tooabstract to be tenable.

Its a ridiculous system, and what happens as it grows? Are we still going to have to look for prior art in a thousand years time? Who is going to look through thousands of years of patents? Who really cares? Bankers, billionaires, and scum. No one else.

The Alpha Klutz

Re: patents are for satan worshippers

and at the end of the day, if the chinese want to print fraudulent patent numbers on their goods, or fraudulent safety certificates, or put toxic chemicals in everything, they will do it anyway because its all the same shit anyway. two factories next to each other, one making the real product, the other making the clone with B stock and B staff. its routine.

Re: patents are for satan worshippers

if i was a businessman i would never invest in any patented ideas. Let's say I'm an inventor and I want to "protect" (wink wink) my invention. I know what I'll do, I'll show it to loads of lawyers (a class of people who cant tell the truth) then i will put exact details of how to copy my invention on a global public database, and for the privilege i'm going to pay hard earned money through the dick.

OR, I could go to market first WITHOUT PATENT and anyone who wanted to steal my idea can crack it open and find out how it works by trial and error WHICH TAKES A LOT LONGER THAN READING THE PATENT.

CHINESE COMPANIES READ PATENTS TO FIND OUT HOW TO INFRINGE THEM.

And you wanna tell me its a way to protect IP. What a fucking joke. What a fucking joke.

Re: What's wrong with worshipping satan?

it leads one to buy patents. Under the eye of GOD inventions are not transferable. This is a fact of creation and can not be challenged except by the most evil and spineless billionaires. These are people who know they would be killed in public. Why do you think they live in gated communities?

The Alpha Klutz

LOL. They are protection that allow inventors to come up with a new idea and profit from it

wrong. they provide a comfortable feeling of security for billionaires who invent nothing but they think its their right to just buy whatever they want and destroy it. they are more interested in fighting with each other which means they all have to buy lots of patents. they dont read the patents even. you're talking Harold Shipman levels of deviancy.
