The point is that OpenBSD (along with the myriad softwares packaged with it and available through ports) is useful enough on its own. Not everyone's idea of useless is "doesn't play World of Warcraft."
Many of them are shitty, that's true, but that list also contains some diamonds-in-the-rough. Some of the Indie game dev houses are unsung heroes and are actually breaking new ground but you just haven't heard of it because there weren't commercials on TV when it happened. Most of these games are also quite cheap, especially compared to the 50-60$ price fixing lock-in enforced by the Big Three console manufacturers. The Valve games stand the test of time too, and if you count them up on their own also outnumber either the Xbox One or the PS4's launch title count, albeit they weren't "new" at launch per-se.
This is fantastically inaccurate. As it will play all the games already available for steam on linux (452 at current count) it in fact already has more games than the sum total of launch titles for ALL OTHER CONSOLES EVER. Troll harder, why don't you?
Yea, Card comes off as a lot more Mormon in this book than most his others, but despite the somewhat heavy-handed moral delivery its a really enlightening and thought-provoking epic. I'd definitely say that I'd have to agree with you that of all his works this one will give just about any reader the most perspective on humanity.
Unlike Android and TiVo, Ubuntu uses a GNU and X11 userland, increasing compatibility with other systems in the *n?x family. This use of X11 allows for window management policies other than the typical "all maximized all the time" policy of Android...
For now... but they were already working to replace X11, and now this, so I advise the readers to draw their own conclusions carefully.
Or with basically infinite lifespans available through breakthroughs in medical science, the long boring trip to other planets won't seem so long or boring anymore, thus freeing the Earth of overpopulation.
NO, see now you're putting words in my mouth. What I said was that BofA's rising prices are egregious. You changed your argument from your first post which was basically "BofA's charges are perfectly justified" to "BofA's charges are easy to avoid by finding a cheaper service" while insinuating that I 1) still have a BofA account 2) have no other accounts 3) didn't know this 4) live with my mom. It is a classic astro-turfing technique to try to devalue a poster's statements indirectly by discrediting the poster, but in this case in your earnest desire to do this you completely changed your argument 180 degrees and don't seem to even have noticed.
So, either you REALLY wanted to start an argument with someone and didn't care about what but found me most happy to comply, or you're a fairly shitty astro-turfer, or an exceptionally bad troll. MOST of what you've stated so far is in fact not factual, its at best bad guessing. I in fact am not trying to pretend cheaper banking solutions exist... why would I even do that when it supports my original point that BofA overcharges? You seem to have lost the plot in your desire to discredit me by any means necessary.
Just to be clear here, I'm accusing YOU of in fact being the one whose arguments have no substance, and in addition to that I see your accusations that I'm lazy and juvenile and raise you that you're a liar and a shill. Moreover, I'm pretty sure I'm a lot older than you and one day you'll look back on your misplaced loyalty to that horrible company and realize which of us was actually more mature and feel ashamed. Food for thought for the future: maturity isn't 100% about "keeping your mouth shut and not rocking the boat."
Curious you chose not to actually address the real point of my post that time. Almost as though you had no counter argument and had to just repeat your earlier attempts to devalue my statements by simply calling me juvenile and lazy.
OH, and I suppose all these "other" checking accounts you have that don't charge a monthly fee to hold your money don't provide any infrastructure or service that BofA provides, making BofA's egregious charges totally justified as your prior post implied? How much do they pay you to post this shit, really? I'm just curious.
When the monthly charge for a checking account with 500USD was only 6$ and paper checks and phone support were free, I might have believed this bullshit. Now that its almost 13$ you can fuck yourself, astro-turfer. What part of the "infrastructure" do you think they'll be claiming to provide for previously free-over-public-network-lines bitcoin transactions?
BofA's angle is probably the same as with your money. Charge you to hold it, charge you to transfer it, charge you to talk to a phone support rep about holding it or transferring it, and while holding it for you, gamble with it on the side.

Shh!!! Don't let them know our secret!!! They'll just make cash illegal too!
You also forgot to make a point.
Can't say I've never been enraged by lit phones in a theater either...
One in my house last year.
When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
Human life must be practically valueless compared to corporate profits.

There are barely any games for it, ...

This is not actually a possible explanation omitted by the book, believe it or not. You should read it; you would like it.

Meanwhile, fully 5% of USA's obsolete electronics remains in my spare room.

Obligatory Fight Club reference:

even drones can fly away
the queen is their slave
So far, yes, but then so does Android and Tivo. What's your point?
Hold on, let me catch my breath...
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

Rabbits are vermin. I believe some states still have a bounty on them.
