It very clearly asks you to change your login to a Windows account or login in to that app ONLY. You didn't read and just clicked thru the screen where you choose to convert your account to a Windows account or keep it a local account and login to the Store ONLY.
Smh.
This is the problem with Windows. if someone has a problem, a shill steps out to tell them how stupid they are.
Given the way Windows alerts read, its not surprising people have trouble.
How is that any different than a site like slashdot where thin skinned idiots just moderate down politically incorrect opinions? For example I have been repeatedly moderated down for stating the simple, obvious fact that most Trump supporters are racists.
Because your version of censorship means you can say what you want, but no one is allowed to disagree.
Sorry, that isn't how it works at all. Your post is still there for everyone to read. If its at -1, well that just means a few people disagree.
I read at -1. It's really not that bad. Here are the steps:
1. use the scroll wheel/bars to move past posts that are obvious spam (there usually aren't that many of those)
2. choose whether to moderate or participate
3. benefit from considering opinions that don't jive with groupthink. it's ok to consider ideas without accepting them or taking them personally
4. don't take the internet so seriously.
I mostly browse at -1. For the same reasons as you. If I do change, it's because of irrelevant noise. Otherwise, I enjoy the chatter.
No. Categorically no. They have not. The most recent research on the hockey stick of any notability is Marcott et al in 2013, using an even broader data set and again, just like every other time, the hockey stick is still there.
You do know that he's going to come up with the "Michael Mann is an asshole!" theory next - and you and your truth have pushed him to it. The last gasp of the cornered denialist.
They are wrong about that too, because Mann isn't an asshole. Not that it would matter, because he's right.
You guys seem to leave that detail out that its not just the bogey-mann and his one paper but countless studies across the world using ice core data, satelite data, geological data, tree ring data (to a point) , ground stations and so on. All point to precisely the same dataset.
These geniuses love to point out old data. The seriously od and long debunked anti-hockey stick argument. The U of A temperature discrepancy between balloon data and satellite data. Cherry picking of the highest order. The hockey stick is relevant, and while you can still find the deniers carrying the discrepancy data on their websites like a smoking gun, they mysteriously leave out the fact that the discrepancy has been cleared up for a number of years now and to the satisfaction of the researcher who first pointed out the discrepancy.
The biggest problem was a calibration error.
You won't see that bit if truth on the deniers websites. The old data suits them better. Even then, if they had any knowledge, they'd know it wasn't invalidating AGW. Like that matters though.
In the end, its just people who are probably birthers, anti-vaxxers, creationists, 9-11 truthers, and moon landing kooks. They believe what they believe, and truth and science isn't relevant. to them. It isn't possible to convince them. We still have people who believe the earth is flat you know.
Yes the noble nuclear industry has no interest in pushing climate change to make us switch to a mix of renewables: wind! hydro! biofuels! oh and er... (whispers)... nuclear.
Now if only we all had electric cars and they all had to be plugged into the grid to charge.
Umm, your tinfoil hat needs recharged. Make sure it is coal generated electricity, though. The president has put gun control chemicals in all the other forms of electricity.
And asbestos. And exploding cars. Hey here's an idea, what if we made the exploding cars... out of asbestos?
Ipana toothpaste actually had asbestos in it.
This is the problem with hoomins - even scientists. We can become corrupt pretty easily.
Oddly enough, a lot of slashdotters seem to believe the libertarian outlook that everything is wonderful until it is proven bad for you. That's what gets us dosed with Bisphenol A and other endocrine inhibitors and estrogen mimics. Oh lookie, the birth defect rate in males is going up https://www.endocrine.org/news... Oh, and it's linked to Bisphenol A. "Isn't there some way we can make this problem go away? we can't upset the stockholders!!!!" http://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/13077...
Dont forget mouthful diethylstilbestrol (DES) It along with Bisphenol A are also obesogens. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pm... chemicals that seem to alter the way the body produces fat cells.
Let's just forget that the obesity problem showed up around the time that these chemicals did. Let's blame if all on the unfortunate individuals involved. They must be lazy, they have a personality defect. They must have done something wrong that they were born with birth defects.
He wasn't calling iPhone users retarded, there's a difference between iPhone users and Apple fanboys, you're obviously the latter.
As a guy who owns both iOS and Android devices, I'm a real forshit excuse for an Apple fanboi. And yes, he as calling iphone users retarded.
And the latter are the ones that take criticisms of Apple and it's products as if they are being criticized personally.
They defend everything Apple does even in the face of blatant stupidity, like labelling their own removal of the headphone jack as "courageous"
Having both type of devices, it would be pretty difficult for me to be remotely worried about the headphone jack on anything. For that matter, I have an iPhone, an Android tablet, an imac, a chromebook, a retired Dell 960, running both linux and W10, and a Raspberry Pi 3. What do they have in common? I don't use the headphone jack on any of them - I use bluetooth.
I don't take a bit of this seriously, I just enjoy pointing out stupidity. That would be addressed to you, mon chichi.
Apple removed a component which is arguably obsolete from the iPhone, while providing an acceptable workaround, for free.
Not acceptable to me.
Well go buy your Samsung and be happy. All your problems will vanish into the haze.
That's it, follow the commandments of the Apple religion: Thou shalt not complain about Apple product decisions. And threaten to cast him out of the Church of Apple.
Problem is, at some point it becomes dipshit trolling. Some might think you've reached that point. I'd wager you hate Apple for a multitude of reasons, and just find it fun to whine about it for some reason. If the iPhone was the only option, you'd have a point. It isn't.
Well, it seems you know lots more about chancroid lesions than me, but you've probably just got more experience at hosting them than I do.
Nah, I was giving a gift in the form of a complaint. Wouldn't want to see another person fall prey to Grumpy Old Man syndrome. Seen a few friends turn into assholes for the lack of testosterone - it slowly ramps down as we age.
guess what kind of interconnect you could use with the most expensive headphones you can buy?
Professionals use 1/4 inch plugs and jacks. My pro headsets would need a 1/4 to 1/8th adapter (pros don't call them dongles) to attach to your toy smartphone. All smartphones are toys. So get off your high horse.
This is just precious. Next explain how you, the erstwhile IT guy, goes about telling the people who decided long ago that they were going to go with the gold standard of the industry, Microsoft - that they have to change their Operating system.
Easy, in a way they can understand.
And when after your logical impressive and factual presentation, you are told "We are an institution that uses Windows, because it is the industry standard, and we will continue to use the industry standard. You can go now".
One of my favorite industry standard moments was years ago, when we had a Video Toaster demo for the entire organization. In the day, the toaster of course, ran on the Amiga platform. After wowing the crowd, one of the head honchos said "We have to have this, but it has to be on the Microsoft PC". The guy demoing it said, sorry, the Video Toaster only runs on the Amiga platform."
Suit says "I don't think you understand. We need this device badly, but we are a Microsoft organization, so you have to sell us Video Toasters that run on PC's."
The demo guy opens his mouth to say something then thinks better of it, then pauses for a minute, and says "We'll work on it." Suit was happy, Demo guy had a incredible asshole story to tell at HQ.
I was in a different group, had some more power, and just bought a Toaster system. But the rest of them couldn't, and were stuck with what they had until non-linear editing arrived, because when you are an industry standard Operating System place, it doesn't matter what you present.
I've been a daily Slashdot user since 98'. However, unlike you, I never felt the narcissistic desire to register a username. Makes you a bit of a faggot, actually.
Never miss a good chance to not make a fool of yourself. Actually. You've done it twice now.
> Thanks for being a boor, and completely unhelpful tool.
At least I'm not a fucking rude arrogant little dick like you.
Says the guy who wrote to someone who has had problems:
I always keep updated with their latest "release" drivers, so perhaps you could explain why I haven't ever had a single problem?
Forgive my pointing it out to you, but you are doing a couple things there. You're asking a person to explain your personal experience, and it follows that you are calling him either lying or incompetent. Your answer is of zero help, and only feeds your ego.
It's called projection, my sweet tater, and I'm always happy to call out tools who do that.
Because in the end, your foolishly calling a person out that is merely pointing out that you are being a jerk - you are merely seeing your own reflection in a mirror being held up to your face. Peace out.
Yes, we should eliminate all those things which are working great, so there are no ports, because... reasons
Yeah, because don't all of us spend every minute underwater these days? Take away all the ports and tactile items and make me buy new shit!
Coming soon: the iButton, a $79 plastic cap that fits onto the phone where the Home button used to be, so people can feel where it is. (Just like on that horrid old last-year's model that no iTard would be caught dead carrying.)
My fsckin ford can beat your Chevy too! Tell me, what is it in your makeup that makes you have the deep seated need to have such hatred? The need to call iphone users retarded? I have iPhones because they integrate with my other hardware. I have a Samsung tablet because I wanted to understand Android. From actual experience the missing headphone jack means nothing, especially since if you want to plug into a phone, it can't be difficult to plug in two things. and presumably one would keep their dongle plugged into the headphones. Don't care - I use bluetooth on both my iPhone, Mac, Android, and PC's
I do take burning batteries pretty seriously though - I'll admit as much.
But considering some folks utter dismissal of burning phones as an issue at all, and dumping crazy hate on a phone they don't even need to own - its a weird hate.
And I just picked your post as it just oozes the anger and hatred like an untreated chancroid lesion.
Please explain exactly why carrying wired headphones around is the greatest thinng in the world, but 100 percent unacceptable to plug those same best solution headphones into a dongle. If I actually had to plug a legacy headset into an iPhone, I'd probably just plug the headphone plug into the dongle, then keep the thing plugged in and store it in the place where I stored the headphones. But that must be an inconvenience beyond the pale.
It's like plug one thing in, and it is wonderful, a superior setup, and all is well. Plug another thing in and fuck that shit. It's a wonder no one has committed suicide yet, or gone into therapy.
Did Apple do this to get people to break their old hardware or did they only test the usability of the new design with touch-id enabled devices?
You know - I've heard this from a lot of people - people have been saying that you know. This is the kind of thing that is just not acceptable, and a lot of people are telling me this. But we'll take care of that problem on day one when I am in control, I can tell you that much, you can trust me on that. We have no choice - we have no choice.

Fructose is far worse than glucose, so any sugar with a higher percentage of fructose, (such as HFCS), has measurably worse health effects.
The ultimate insanity of American consumer marketing has been reached. We now have healthy sugar. Its like touting the best STD for people to get.

How do you explain the fact that Michael Mann's methodology generates a hockey stick even when applied to completely random data?
How do you explain how it doesn't? Give your cites, and defend your work.
