I expected Apple to tell us we're looking at the device "wrong"...

"It's not the iPad that's bent. That oak table you're putting it on to demonstrate must be warped!"

It's mahogany, you insensitive clod.

Ya but we're getting the Thunderbirds! Trump said so, so there! Are you ready for this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

All that you can do is wish them well. And walk away.

You know what's not "appropriate" here? Acting like a child who's offended at an acronym.

People need to grow the fuck up already.

There has never been a more appropriate time to post a Red Dwarf clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

They are just trying to preempt another Bendgate. If they say it's completely normal nobody can say that Apple denied the problem exists.
Reminds me of John Cleese's "How To Irritate People" sketch about the car salesman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Profit!

Why don't the police just shoot the drone flying 400' up a mile away on the other side of the airport with a shotgun?

The bullets go up, who cares where they come down? "That's not my department"

You're beginning to understand the two sides of everything and thus, irony. People who get "upset" and "meltdown" over trivial things are snowflakes. Their particular ideology doesn't really matter.

People upset about PC "incidents" like this are ironically pantomiming the PC actors themselves when they melt down over the trivial issue.

Leslie Graham is a "boofing" snowflake.

This guy is a Britney Spears snowflake.

People crying about a Debian package being renamed are snowflakes.

Detached reasonable people don't cry their eyes out over political correctness even when it DOES go to far, or "run amok" - snowflakes exclusively.

What Happens When a Drone Hits an Airplane Wing?

Creimer left /. after 20 years and posted 100+ videos in 2018. His trolls are still butthurt that he left them behind with APK.

Raytheon has a technology already. High-energy directed microwaves. If these are industrial drones they should be large enough to detect and target within the 1KM perimeter allowed by British regulations.

Directed microwaves. Best overall option.

Watch how pathetically weak and poorly made the iPad Pro really is.

Cryptofeces Lepidoptera Creimerus infestation is a serious problem. Not only are they capable of reproducing asexually like amoebas, they can also lay eggs hermaphroditically in unexpected places. They can disguise eggs as something useful to fool the unaware, sometimes pretending to be a haiku author, blogger, vlogger, or IT closet cleaner.

Very dangerous. They can seemingly reproduce out of the cosmic background radiation, even if you step on twelve of them, there's always one you miss.

Don't be fooled by the C. Lepidoptera Creimerus's innocuous, rolly-polly, and almost friendly appearance; despite its great size, stupid demeanor, and bedraggled toothless appearance, they have the hardiness of a tardigrade.

Only a concerted, targeted downmodding campaign has been shown effective in controlling this dangerous pest.

Experience shows that stopping such a campaign leads to C. Lepidoptera Creimerus returning within days.

Don't let it happen again!

I'm proud of my work too, but I'm not going to kill myself, ruin my health, and ignore my family just to make a CEO up top a few million extra while they throw me a few thousand for my trouble. Ever seen Con Air -- love this scene with Steve Buscemi:

Years of watching Jurassic Park and I still love Silicon Graphics (it's a Crimson they have there - I have a Tezro and 3 other SGIs), the Mac Quadra 700 (I have two of them), and Thinking Machines supercomputers (hehe, I don't own one of these!). I love that freakin' movie.

Meh. Some minor technical modifications, and it could have been done.

Attach a trailer with fuel in it, and run a line to the gas tank.

Or put it on a Tesla once these have made it to production.

> false science telling us that fat makes us fat

The logic on fat is simple - it is very calorie-dense, so it's easy to eat too much without realizing it.

See: Americans Guess What 100 Calories Looks Like

(pay special attention to the oil)

We could do much worse betting on a vanguard

You certainly could!

It's a reference to "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot: My Anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hun.

Here's a fun game. Go out on the street and ask 30 random people what planet has rings. My guess will be less than 5 say Saturn. However, for your fun game, the majority of 30 random people will still put out stupider than shit answers to most questions that people should learn the answer too in 9th grade.

That is a lie and you know it. You love getting your ass beaten by dudes all day. If you didn't you would stop posting here.
The Bloodhound Gang made a song about you.

So its valuation earlier this year was externally estimated to be $26 billion and just two months ago was self-reported at 27.5 billion, and securing an additional half billion in funding suddenly pops it to $30.5?

Ali G would be jealous.

Everyone knows that switching DB vendors can be a real pain, even if you are just moving between mainstream, similar systems. A company I once worked for spent a couple years (and lots of money) to move from MS SQL Server to PostgreSQL because of licensing costs. Cost savings are certainly one consideration, but there are others as well so I would like to know what has made you switch.

I am building a whole new kind of data management system that also does some relational DB functions. Getting early adopters can really be a challenge so I want to focus on things that are the most painful for people today. Our system can handle some pretty big tables (tested to 300 Million rows with 50 columns), and most queries have been faster than other systems (benchmarked against SQL Server, MySQL, and Postgres). We don't need to index our tables to get really fast queries either! In short, it is an entirely new kind of system that uses a completely different architecture than other systems. It is a columnar store with a flexible schema so we can add or delete entire columns on big tables without needing to reload data. It can do both transactional operations and analytics very quickly. See a 4 minute demo video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?... if you want to see it in action.

for the young generation, creimer left /. after 20 years and posted 100+ videos in the past year.

There's little to no chance.

Then it's up to all us to make the chance. The whole flock can turn on a dime. Inertia is personal too.

I try to check the Caller ID against multiple websites to determine if they are spam calls and send them to Lenny. I've had some good results:

Lenny vs Tech Support
Lenny on a 16 minute call with Visa/Mastercard Services
Lenny taking a survey

Lately they seem to generate random CIDs and are getting past my CID checks.

He's talking about a trick people found to play sound samples on the C64 using a "bug" or should I say "feature" in the SID chip. I think you can even mix channels with the CPU but you lose machine performance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

You basically use a C64 cartridge to store the data and then just dump it. Of course it wouldn't be possible back then because of cart memory capacity constraints. But the sound hardware can do it.
