What are you, 12?

Your projection is noted.

And you're definitely acting like a massive Mac Fanboy here.

Whining at the fact that Apple has long been at the top of hardware reliability surveys is a pure Hateboi reaction. As is losing your shit and throwing your kitchen sink at the effigy of Steve Jobs you've constructed.

Replying to a 3 day dead article

And what do you think you're doing, Slick? And what do you mean, "dead"? An article isn't dead until comments are closed. Your elevator isn't going to the top floor...

to say "but but Note 7!" when we're talking about PCs and laptops.

Because you pulled a random search for recalls out of your ass, err, Google. Classic Hateboi nutpicking. Guess what, you can find Honda recalls too - doesn't change the fact they're more reliable than other car makers. You want to talk about PC's? Okay, lets talk about:

Dell recalls 4 million 'exploding' laptops

....and how it was a complete non-issue, because it wasn't Apple.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/iPhone-6-Plus-catches-fire-in-mans-bed_id77021

Read your own link? "The two main culprits that cause a malfunctioning cellphone battery are physical damage or use of a low quality, unauthorized charger." When Apple has a crisis so bad they recall an entire line, factory supplied chargers included, do let us know.

Should we now shift the goalposts to some other area?

Says the Hateboi who hasn't bothered to address the fact that Apple took the top spot in reliability, as the usually do. Specifically on laptops, when you wanted to wank on about....PC's and laptops.

So the IPCC is the prime source of evidence we should go with and other sources are not acceptable?

Okay. Prepare to dance.

https://www.theguardian.com/en...

They based their "research" on an interview in a climbing magazine.

it is also ironic that you'd say something about politics in the same breath that you're advocating the IPCC. Much of the IPCC is not authored by scientists. Its a political organization via the UN not a scientific organization. You'd know that if you knew anything. But you don't.

You're another tool that repeats the same stupid shit with no understanding of what he's talking about.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...

You're getting caught in a lie or a scandal or a fraud practically daily. And despite that all we get out of you is the same pretension to a functioning brain stem.

Keep in mind, you're the one that started the ad hominem game by talking about deniers and politics. If you want to talk issues, I'll crush you with facts. You likely don't have anything besides some cartoonish illustrations or some PDF links you didn't read.

But if you want to play the ad hominem game... then flame on.
https://youtu.be/Ae04r1EQOKk?t...

What people like you get away with is shifting between an unjustified pretense of intellectual or moral superiority into fallacious ad hominem without pausing to back up anything. It works on people that don't know what this is...

If you want to make a stab at being rational or justifying any of that comical pretense you walk around with... try me. Otherwise... Burn.

Actually...Brazille has been claiming that the emails were doctored. Such accusations are only going to gather steam as they slowly realize it's the only defense they have.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...

But someone has already examined the DKIM hashes on many of the key emails and verified their authenticity and integrity:

http://dailycaller.com/2016/10...

So, they're real. And the contents of them would've destroyed any other candidate...which is why the near-uniform blackout amongst the mainstream news media over them.

Every aspect of the litter seems to have been left to point at Russia and be easy to find and be media for "open source intelligence" groups.
Would any other intelligence service make sloppy mistakes or risk real time discovery with such well understood skills?
Or was the trail left knowing the West and its media had no skills to look no further than ip ranges, code litter and the time of day?
Iran and North Koran have very few pipes to the West that are free of the NSA and GCHQ.
South Korea and Japan have huge listening stations, expert staff and with the help of global reach of their 5 eye nations supporters would know of any Korean internet movements globally in real time.
Miho, Tachiarai and other sites do track everything Korea and have done for a while.
The GCHQ and NSA have Iran surrounded. Overseas Processing Centre, like CIRCUIT, Troodos in Cyprus pick up everything in the Middle East, Iran and into the Caucasus.
The NSA and GCHQ would know if Iran or North Korea acted as a nation and would keep such methods out of the media so they could track, alter material in real time or counter them without comment from contractors, ex intelligence service workers or "open source intelligence" groups reporting on such efforts in real time.
The need for it to be Russian fully, early and often in the Western press is the 'tell'.
If its not secret, been mentioned by method and been tracked its cover for a :

Apple most certainly did have one catch fire on a plane: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...

You mean like this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...

The most unsettling part is that Samsung knew of Klering's phone, and didn't say anything.

That reminds me of how Tesla handled the first few fatal accidents with the Autopilot.

It's still not as dangerous as this incident: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...

Batteries have a higher energy density than explosives. For this reason there are many layers of defence. The charging circuitry knows the maximu safe rate. Inside the battery are thermal cut outs. The circuitry of the battery is designed to control the rate of charging. The battery series as a whole should be extensively tested under all sorts of situations and failure cases.. Each batttery should be tested separately. In the case of most failures of the battery then it should simply stop accepting charge and act dead. In order for something like this to happen many layers of design, manufacturing and testing need to have failed pretty disastrously.

The people behind this are proper engineers (not the clowns who call themselves "software engineers") and this is their bridge fall down / go to prison moment. The main hope is that Samsung senior management also gets it because such a widespread failure, especially delivered multiple times, clearly doesn't come from the individual engineers alone.

How do Trump supporters arrive at the "might stand up to wall street" conclusion for a clear member of the oligarch class whose tax plan clearly favors the affluent as opposed to Clinton who has at least furnished one that seems to favor the middle class?

I guess you haven't been paying attention to how income disparity increases under Democrat rule:

The Census Bureau releases annual updates on income distribution in the U.S., publishing three technical statistical measures—the Gini index, the mean logarithmic deviation of income (mean log deviation for short), and the Theil index—each of which represents inequality levels on a scale of 0 to 1 (zero signifies perfect equality and 1 indicates perfect inequality). By all three measures, inequality rose more under Bill Clinton than under Ronald Reagan. And it wasn’t even close. While the inequality increase as measured by the Gini index was only slightly more during Clinton’s two terms, the Theil index and mean log deviation increased two and three times as much, respectively.

Barack Obama’s administration follows this pattern, despite the complaints he and his supporters have made about his predecessor. The mean log deviation increased 37% more under Mr. Obama than under President George W. Bush, although when this statistic was released, Mr. Obama had only six years as president compared with Mr. Bush’s eight. The Gini index rose more than three times as much under Mr. Obama than under Mr. Bush. The Theil index increased sharply during the Obama administration, while it fell slightly under Bush 43.

Fact: income inequality increased more under Clinton than it did under Reagan

Fact: income inequality increased more under a mere 6 years of Obama than it did under 8 years of Bush II.

Not a surprise - under socialism, the powerful get rich. Got the balls to guess who the richest person in Venezuela is? LMGTFY.

Please, tell me, how on earth to arrive do you arrive at the conclusion that some one like him will favor the middle class over the affluent? There's certainly nothing in the few actual policy proposals he's floated that suggests that.

Trump may very well not favor the middle class over the affluent.

BUT WE KNOW ALL TOO FUCKING WELL THAT CROOKED HILLARY! WILL FAVOR THE AFFLUENT..

Yeah, that was 20 years ago, and she's a whore; not that I"m judging. Yeah, the fact she was brought up of all things speaks volumes how just how baseless the criticism is toward Trump. In fact, forget Trump, this would be anything OTHER THAN THE DNC!! Trump just happens to be the GOP nominee to be targeted.

The Democrats are going to start Nuclear war with Russia. I'm convinced of that!

Do we know for a fact that it's because of discrimination and not, say, because men are so much more likely to choose risky ways or something else?
Did you know that married men earn much more than bachelors?

Not true, in the US (and I believe Western Europe too), studies show women of South East Asian descent get the most positive reaction on dating apps. White men, and SE Asian women have the advantage on dating apps.

Citation needed; I've never heard of such a thing.

Google it. There are studies done on this all the time and they always come up with the same answer.

This is the first link when I googled it: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sci...

Male babies are still frequently mutilated in the USA, and the medical establishment still backs up this practice even though the European medical establishment gave up on this decades ago.

Are you seriously comparing male circumcision to female genital mutilation? Male circumcision may be completely unnecessary (I choose to not circumcise my son), but it is a completely different animal. The complications from the procedure are less frequent than those from piercing ears, or getting tattoos.

If you think male and female circumcision are in any way similar, you don't understand how horrific female genital mutilation is.

We all hate Martin Shkreli because he's smug and arrogant about what he does, but look at the Mylan CEO Heather Bresch and Epipen overcharging (her daddy is Democratic U.S. Senator Joe Manchin). She's just as much an asshole but feigns being an honest and compassionate when she's interviewed. http://www.latimes.com/busines... Shkreli is at least honest about his doucheness. Bresch and CEOs like her and for ripping off the taxpayer millions all they get is a slap on the wrist http://www.business-standard.c... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/hea...

But you try shoplifting a stick of gum and watch happens. The golden rule is whoever has the gold the gets to break the rules.

This I have not heard of.

It was part of a Friday document dump... you weren't supposed to hear about it: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...

The POTUS using a pseudonym to communicate via email is hardly a scandal, more of an extra layer of security in case someone does get their hands on classified emails (and possibly a way to make finding records more difficult).

And without knowing his email setup it doesn't prove that he knew her actual email address, only that someone in the White House IT Dept knew it and configured his client to handle it.

Mr Burns is philanthropist. You little people are just too stupid to understand his genius.

And how has watching porn helped with raising your self-esteem? How has watching - using straight porn as and example - guys with big dicks fucking big titty women in the ass helped you get any closer to finding a woman who isn't repulsed by you? Seems I read somewhere that women find as much as 80% of men to be unattractive. Yet, we see attractive women with average looking schlubs everywhere. If this guy can get women, then there's probably hope for you.

That contention would be at odds with reports of a possible coming "Little Ice Age" due to the current Maunder-type sunspot minimum.

It is also at odds with reports of no global warming since the late 1990's.

And on a macro scale, it's a bit odd to judge planetary data on merely human timescales. Technically, we're still in an Ice Age, and are merely between continental glacial advances.

Your astonomy now link gives lots of good information, except for one thing: the magnitude of the cooling effect proposed. It also contains drivel, like someone claiming to be a serious scientist saying "There is no strong evidence, that global warming is caused by human activity" and "In the days of the Maunder minimum... Greenland was covered by glaciers”
A two year old article from the Daily Mail saying that there has been no warming since 1998, a year chosen in many of these stories because it was the hottest year on record at the time, is just laughable when all 10 of the 10 hottest years on record have been since 1998.
As for us still being in an ice age, most people here know that. Yes, the earth has been hotter in the past, even with the dimmer sun of the past (it is getting slowly and steadily brighter over millions of years). Changes are not the big problem. The speed of them is.

Actually, I think he was talking about this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sci...

And to OP: This is quite a bit more complex. Motion or lens blur is predictable, but it's harder to predict the blurring algorithm here. Plus, they do not technically "unblur" the picture. Unblur would probably work with some deconvolutional neural network (or other), provided you have access to a large enough database of a specific blur algorithm. And then, you would be able to unblur only this specific algorithm.

Ah yes, crippling the iPhone further with the removal of the highly standardised headphone jack, requiring a pricey and fragile, easy-to-lose, bulky adapter. They're seemingly trying to make the iPhone as useful as a pet rock, and similarly overpriced.

Why is Apple doing this, really? The reason isn't waterproofing (both Samsung and Sony meet at least IP68 ratings, and for some models, even Milspec 810G) without sacking the headphone jack. It isn't technology-related, since both Sony and Samsung fit far more features into less space - again, without sacking the headphone jack.

It's about having yet another expensive-yet-fragile-and-easy-to-lose mandatory accessory, or to create a sense vendor lock-in (because they'll be telling their gullible customers "by the way we make some premium headphones to match our pet rock") so they can sell more expensive yet inferior and terrible sounding headphones by Beats, which literally include weights to lend the illusion of high quality heavy magnets in the drivers.

You idiots who get your "news" from late night comics cannot resist outing yourselves with that childish "Drumpf" nonesense.

Trump was born with the last name "Trump" - he was NEVER named "Drumpf". You think you're being clever by insisting that he ought to go by some name a low-quality stand-up quasi-comic claims an ancestor of his had.

How about we use some REALITY and TRUTH on your hero politicians?

1. Is Barack Obama's name "Barry Soetoro"? He actually used that name for himself as a younger man. No imagination by comics is needed. (note: the college ID card image circulating on the net with that name on it is a photoshop job, but he DID use that name)

2. Was Barack Obama born in Kenya? I happen to believe he was born in Hawaii, but his own literary agent (not some right-wing enemy) listed him as born in Kenya all the way up until 2007 just as he began his run for President. You don't have to get that from some late-night comic or from some enemy of his.

3. Was Hillary Clinton named after Sir Edmund Hillary? She claimed it and even her fans at Politifact confirm both that she claimed it and that it was not reasonably true given that Sir Edmund Hillary was not yet famous at the time she was born.

Need I go on to further illustrate how dumb, childish, and hypocritical you "Drumpfers" are?

To extend your jest a little further, while it's appealing to consider whether Jeremy Clarkson might make a better Foreign Secretary than Boris Johnson, I think Theresa May's idea was to appoint campaigners for UK exit from the EU to the three major positions for leading exit negotiations and preparations to reduce the chance that if things go wrong the campaigners for exit will try to claim that it's the fault of those of us who voted for the UK to remain in the EU. (Whether that will actually work if things do go wrong is another question.)

That being the case, Jeremy Clarkson is ruled out for the job of Foreign Secretary: much to my surprise, Jeremy Clarkson was, apparently, in favour of the UK remaining in the EU. I'm linking to the Daily Mail" rather than to a more reputable newspaper, because it was gung-ho for UK exit from the EU, and if it could have found a way to spin that Clarkson favoured UK exit it would probably have done so. Which means that, surprising as it may seem, Jeremy Clarkson is in favour of a United States of Europe.

The same is true for intellectual work. An eight year old can work quite hard to solve a math problem, the same math problem that a 35 year old will solve without making much of an effort.

As for the difference between men and women, we generally say that women are better "multitaskers" than men. This is actually not true, here's one of several studies showing men are actually better multitaskers, but this myth that women are better multitaskers comes from the fact that men are also better at focusing (working harder) to solve an intellectual problem. So yes, men do work harder (on average) than women, even with intellectual work. That's the reason successful societies developed by letting men do all the hard and specialized work. "Equality" will make our society far less efficient, which means societies less concerned with equality will overtake us.

Yes, I know, I'm misogynistic for saying this truth.

I'm a fiscally conservative, social moderate who hates Obama, has multiple openly gay friends, and generally votes libertarian when possible. Good luck categorizing that!

Well, a particular kind of assholery. Threatening and intimidating people.

Considering that police services in Europe have been detaining people for wrong think for the last couple of years? You should be getting the fuck out of there, along with the rest of Europe. Other stuff off the top of my head include the threats by the police that no dissenting opinions will be allowed regarding anything to do with the economic migrants. People arrested for different opinions(labeled as "hate speech") and labeled as racists. Scottland yard wanting to do the same thing as the Met. And it's just not the UK, but other countries as well.

This entire thing comes off as "hey look at those ideological opponents of ours, maybe we can just use the law to shut them up. And when we can't, we'll just change the law" And then they wonder why there's a rise in nationalists and so on.

I'd rather be governed by a different set of laws too. Wanting laws to be different is not in and of itself a bad thing, and - even if that poll is accurate, which is questionable (it's really easy to ask questions in such a way to get the answer you want) - that still doesn't imply that they're going to try to force Sharia laws on the non-Muslims.

Re: fences: here and here. It's unlikely to work because, with so much more border with nobody around, it's much easier to destroy or damage the fence and slip through before a response can be mounted, and that's if the crossing is even detected. It might slightly reduce the number of people coming to America illegally, but I very much doubt it's a cost-effective way of doing that. Why exactly are "anchor babies" a problem?

No, it's not always legitimate for governments to tax what they wish to discourage. There's no moral reason to do anything to the remittances. It's a regressive tax that does nothing for America's well-being.

So you're saying that we can just ignore economics because sometimes they get things wrong. Got it. Let's go back to bloodletting to cure cancer too, since doctors - and medicine - also get things wrong.

I don't see how kidnapping people - especially people in foreign countries - is going to help in the slightest. Also, I'm not a pacifist - there is a time and place for war - I just don't think we should kill innocent people. That just creates more terrorists.

There has never been a good, empirical study that shows porn causes harm. Less interest in sex is also not harm.

Porn, when created with the informed consent of all involved, should be protected. Child pornography (featuring actual children) would not, therefore, be protected. Child pornography that is just animations or drawings or whatever would be, even though it's disgusting.

Yes, Clinton or Trump will be the person taking office. Voting for anyone else is not dodging; I'm going to vote my conscience, as should everyone.
