    The Fappening.

    Except GP didn't make that claim,

    Sure they did. And I quote:

    Unity is a good choice for Mac OS X users

    The only way that Unity could be a "good choice" for OS X users would be that they would have to like it, no?

    he said that Unity is more similar to OSX than Gnome is.

    And then falsely claimed it would be a good choice. It is a terrible choice.

    Yep, I always laugh my ass off when I hear someone make that claim. Having lefthand window buttons and a half-ass clone of the Mac OS global menus does not mean that OS X users will like Unity.

    Unity is a good choice for Mac OS X users because of some similarities.

    Clearly you've never used OS X for any amount of time to make such a ridiculous claim. Unity is almost nothing like OS X beyond a couple of superficial similarities that, outside of the left hand buttons, don't even functionally act the same as the OS X counterpart it is trying to mimic. Long-time OS X users tend to despise Unity for its superficial cargo cult look.

  5. Re:brilliant way to hide the genuine bad reviews, on Small Restaurant Out-Maneuvers Yelp In Reviews War · · Score: 1

    Pay no attention to the fact that what they're really doing is strongly diluting the actual poor reviews.

    Better than being extorted by Yelp to pay them to do the same thing.

    Yep, which is why this company is having people flood their listing with snarky 1 star reviews. Basically they are cranking up the noise to drown out everything else.

  8. Re:Only cost them 25 percent of customer bills? on Small Restaurant Out-Maneuvers Yelp In Reviews War · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The business merely turned Yelp's tactics against them. Yelp strong arms businesses into buying advertising to bury negative reviews and push positive reviews up. They simply told Yelp to fuck off and had people give them a bunch of negative reviews. What the business did is pure genius.

    A bunch of hipsters and basement-dwelling whiners.

  10. Re:How is Yelp supposed to work? on Small Restaurant Out-Maneuvers Yelp In Reviews War · · Score: 5, Informative

    Yelp sells advertising to the very businesses that their users review so that the business can get their more favorable reviews pushed higher while burying the negative. Their business model is extortion.

    I wasn't proposing anything. Merely stating that power is never permanent. History has shown this over and over.

    Nothing you can do will make him not "in power".

    The French aristocracy probably thought the same thing before the French Revolution happened. The guillotine didn't seem to care about the social status/wealth of the person whose head was chopped off.

    You seem to falsely assume that most Windows users actually install the OS themselves. In reality, they just use what is installed on the machine they bought.

    Unfortunately, my doctor wasn't in that day and I was sent home (by a rather young doctor, rather fresh from the med school) with a prescription for cough syrup instead of a penicillin shot.

    Why would you think a doctor would give you penicillin for a viral infection? Do you know how antibiotics work?
