Wait a minute, don't blame this shit on me. I've been telling everyone that social networking was dangerous and evil since "Instant Messaging" was invented in the 90's. None of them ever fucking listen to a damned thing I say though and neither did you. You have only yourselves to blame.
Right, unless of course someone is out there throwing tow hitches onto a crowded, fast-moving freeway in front of Teslas... in which case it actually is an attack too, regardless of any safety regulation consequences.
The only people I ever hear complaining about the Wii-U are anonymous cowards who claim they won't buy one because the press says its a flop, and constantly parrot that its a flop, but wouldn't have bought one to begin with. The built-in community features on the Wii-U, where users are allowed to share in-game experiences and fan art and coordinate multi-player events and do video chat, etc, however tell an entirely different story of nearly 100% buyer satisfaction. So, just FYI don't believe everything you hear on the street. When the Wii came out initially, all the same parties were parroting that it was a huge flop too. The fact the Wii-U hasn't met the same sales figures hardly constitutes a "flop." Sounds more like wishful thinking from Sony and Microsoft shareholders to me, honestly.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say yes, its even likely, and there is historical precedent, however that is far from the proof needed to point the blame in the right place. Its just as likely that the battery manufacturers are screwing over Tesla by offloading the last of their unsold exploding Sony laptop batteries....
I would like to say ITS ABOUT FUCKING TIME. Yes, I know this seems ridiculous, but its the only way to protect the weak from the "no blood, no foul" policy of the old days where after a solid beating on the playground, you would then get persecuted by your teachers for being a baby and interrupting their smoke break by crying at them.
Yes, you are wrong. Ubuntu has tricked you into thinking you have to give up freedom for convenience. Linux was never about convenience, it was always only about freedom, but Canonical has also tricked you into thinking that there can't be a third choice. The fact of the matter is they've purposefully hidden the third choice; it should "just work" without you having to let Mark Shuttleworth personally dick your wife up the ass and implant mind control chips in all your children's brains.
Yea actually. Everything I needed to learn to type that post I learned either before gradeschool, or on my own in my free time, or later in private courses I paid for out of pocket as an adult. I learned typing playing zork on a commodore 64. Besides all that you evidently missed the clear sarcasm in my statement, evidence that your own trust in your reading comprehension skills and likely whatever else you learned (or thought you learned) in gradeschool is quite misplaced.
Come to think of it, NOTHING I learned in gradeshool had a tiny bit of useful real-world applications. Why not just swap the K-12 education for the Boy Scouts of America so that all our little boys and girls can kill, clean, and cook a deer alone by grade 3? That would be some practical real-world knowledge for the post-STEM-in-gradeschools reality.
Stock up on Lead people. Its about to become more valuable than gold...
His statement was OBVIOUSLY inflammatory and factually inaccurate, and you know it, you astroturfing fuck-face. Do you want to admonish me for my bad behavior and poor language too now? Maybe you should have the teacher call my mommy. Piss off.
Seriously? That's your highly enlightened opinion? The FOSS community only tries to "eat" the unethical and inept. They don't do a complete enough job of it either apparently, because you actually got up today and were allowed to spew out this completely uneducated bullshit. If you had actually paid attention to the surveilance features Canonical is building into their system and compared them to ANY OTHER LINUX OFFERING WHATSOEVER you'd see they're moving directly opposite of the entire intent of the rest of the FOSS community with regards to software freedom and privacy.
But you didn't actually, did you? You're trolling for Ubuntu because you were proud you installed it successfully after having failed so many times with other distros, and it made you feel smart because you didn't even need to read anything to get "working" desktop environment.
Grow up kid and start putting your effort somewhere it won't be wasted. Canonical has paid people to do this job you're doing for them.
What makes you think they can't? Clearly you haven't considered the possibility that despite what they say that isn't actually the agenda. This is about control of the flow of power and money. They couldn't care less how safe the world actually is. In fact they probably relish a bit of bloodshed now and then because scared sheep move much faster, and in predictable directions.
This is actually a reasonable but often overlooked point about self-driving cars. The original automobiles were a step backwards with regards to some features. No matter how cross-eyed, projectile vomiting, passed-out drunk you were, your horse would still usually be able to find its own way home.
That said, horses are also unintelligent, skittish, emotional, and even to the trained horseman often FAR less cooperative than even the least reliable production automobiles. Something tells me once Microsoft starts making A.I. Driver software we're going to see another step backwards, not forwards...
... about Oracle-developed code. It only makes sense that they're finally firing back. Too bad they will never put their development expendatures where their mouthes are.

I didn't the first time, but now that you mention it suggestively I sure do...
He's probably jabbering about something awful like Erlang or the like.

Actually yea; believe it or not its primary industrial use is mining for gold.

Well, someone had to say it. I'm glad it was you though because if I had said it nobody would have caught the obvious sarcasm.

I kinda wish they'd just pump it dry and fill it with concrete. It smells bad and its leaking into the neighboring underground parking structures.
And they're selling the list to the highest bidder.

Should have hired me, punks.
She's right about everyone else, but Google Glass is also boring.
