  1. Yea, I kinda want that corrected-for too.

  2. Low estimate. on A Quarter of Tumblr's Users Are There To Consume Porn, Data Scientists Estimate (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They're being polite. They mean definitely no less than one quarter. The problem with a community built like Tumblr was the intent to blur the line between dialogue, art, and pornography. Mind you, even pornographers are opposed to this, because it also destroys their profit model. This new profit model still requires pornography to survive, but does so in a non-obvious way that appeals better to the subliminal.

  3. I'm coming for you.

  4. Nobody that also glues the cases closed, anyway.

  6. AT&T has been watching you all threatening to cut your cables in the previous threads and would like to remind you all to take your best fucking shot.

    You keep your god damned dirty hands off my ice-cream subsidies!!!!!

  8. And even if it weren't true, it would still have a hugely consolidating effect on air pollution, a fact they like to gloss over as quickly as possible.

  9. Ugh, really?

    Believable.

    *sigh*

  10. That's what I've been saying all along, but then the people in the midwest tend to react violently to the realization that would make gasoline prices skyrocket to over $8 per gallon. Curiously, they don't seem to react to the hypocrisy at all.

    I think it is unlikely that he even reliably gets a solid 25mbps out of it. It probably frequently bottoms out due to being overbooked, but most likely they're throttling the VPN connection directly, too.

    Careful there. This type of thinking is how the "heartland" collectively priced itself out of the global automobile manufacturing market. Don't think that just because it's more expensive to grow parsnips in a sky rise that they won't do it just to spite you if you give them incentive.

    See if you can get someone to come out and examine the actual phone pole. That was happening to me and they found out the Time Warner guy sabotaged the pole and clamped the entire neighborhood to 12 megabit shared.

    Huge swathes of LA, too. And not just the crummy neighborhoods, either. Hollywood. West Hollywood. Santa Monica.

    I'm thinking a little of both but more the latter. Without the satellite service, nothing DirecTV did can't be handled by AT&T's existing infrastructure except "last mile" coverage and the ability to transparently scale to an infinite amount of clients.

  17. There is just nothing else out there for making discussion groups, pages, or creating events.

    It's really sad that you think this is true. But I'm even more sad that I know this is a common opinion.

  18. Remember that time their app got caught accidentally ignoring key privacy settings?

    Consider the possibility that wasn't an accident.

  19. Of all the stupid trolling comments being amplified on a day-to-day basis, this one I approve of. More people need to be reminded of this daily.

  20. Even that part you're mistaken about, because it's simply a facade.

    Yea I kinda have to side with you on this one. It's true they need to stop encouraging people to trust this autopilot feature so much, but how would not having it have improved this normally fatal situation of an exhausted driver falling asleep behind the wheel? It's one thing if he did it on purpose because he thought it would be safe, but nobody is asking whether he intended to fall asleep in the first place. If he didn't, this car, with patient and generous help from the police officers, saved his life.
