In a world where Apple thinks it can sue over rounded corners and "slide to unlock", then yes. They absolutely copied the design. In the real world, it's also a yes.
Did Biden make up a ridiculous claim that he had to dodge sniper fire? Did he say that women and children have always been the primary victims of war? Was he tied to dozens of suspicious "accidental" deaths and suicides? Did he get a bunch of people killed during an aborted stint in office? Does he run a "charitable foundation" that is really a front for bribes, kickbacks, and other illicit pay-to-play dealings? Did he leak classified information all over hell? Did he conduct official business on a private server, then when under investigation get to choose which emails to hand over, then nuke the hard drives?
HRC is a monster and a true Clinton. She's a Reptilian in a failing skin suit.
There's plenty of evidence of crooked shit going down regarding emails that mention that pizza place.
No one's figured out what that crooked shit was, or if it occurred at that pizza place.
Many emails used code words to refer to specific people, places, and things. The pizza place could be a code for something else, or it could be the pizza place. You can go look at the emails yourself and try to piece it together. You can also see all the work others have done in decoding various pieces of it.
To state that the pizza parlor was where they got their underage kiddos for sex is baseless conjecture. To state that "pizzagate" is fake news, a "nothing burger", etc. is outright incorrect.
Uhh the Russian government hacked Hillary's campaign and the DNC and then dripped out the emails to cause maximum damage (but her emails...) despite no real scandals.
Trump's campaign aide Roger Stone communicated with, colluded with both the Russian government hackers and the Wikileaks Russian government mouthpiece.
The "hack" was some high-ranking clown clicking a URL in a phishing email and leaking his iWhatever credentials.
Her emails did expose real scandals. You can go and fucking read them if you want (you never will). The DNC and Hillary's campaign, along with media chills like CNN, rigged the DNC primary election for Hillary, despite Bernie Sanders being the far better candidate (even though he's a loon, he would have been an electable loon). And yes, Hillary leaked classified info through her private email server, then, "oopsie", wiped the server (like with a cloth) after cherry picking a few things to turn over as evidence. The FBI director even directly said she's guilty as shit and is only not being charge because of who she is.
As for colluding with Russia, we've seen that HRC, the DNC, and much of the Obama administration were doing just that when they paid for a faked dossier created by a British spy working with Russians, which they then used to trick a FISA court into letting the administration spy on Trump and his campaign so they could leak info to the DNC and Hillary to ensure her coronation. And she STILL fucking lost! Trump is an ass and often a buffoon. I sure as shit didn't vote for him, but I'm glad he won because he's caused tons of pathetic losers like yourself to have public meltdowns and yes, Hillary would have been far worse. The DNC and the media LOST and they're still trying to stir up a war with Russia.
I care. If I'm going to take the time to sit through a movie, I'm not going to fucking deal with shitty quality. When I can go to RedBox on my way home / to get food/gas/blow and get a superior version of something for a dollar (there's always free rental codes to be had, so you just pay the upcharge for the BR version), why wouldn't I? There's also the option of downloading a BR rip from TPB (and you can typically get it earlier than street date this way) if you just want shit for free or demand maximum convenience.
No, graphics and sound don't make the story better. But when was the last time you watched a Hollywood film for the story?
A physical BR has much higher quality than anything you can get via Netflix/iTunes/Amazon/UltraViolet/etc. I was responding to someone who mentioned bandwidth being a problem (and that person was responding to some clown who referred to BRs as coasters).
This has nothing to do with what movie theaters get, nor does it have anything to do with film.
Regardless of how much bandwidth you have, streaming sites, digital storefronts, and the free "digital downloads" included with many movies are shit in terms of quality when you compare them to the physical release.
TBH I think you're greedy for wanting a 2018 AAA game at 2004's price point.
Why, exactly?
Because of inflation? Wages are stagnant, so nope.
Because development costs have gone up? They haven't gone up to the degree that the market has expanded and production and distribution costs have gone down.
Decades ago you had to make physical discs or cartridges or whatever, an instruction manual, package it all up, sell it to a distributor who took a cut and sold it to a retailer who took a cut and sold it to an end user.
Today, the market is orders of magnitude larger. Major publishers own their own storefront and have near-zero per-unit costs for manufacturing bits and distributing them. Most game publishers have completely gutted their testing departments in favor of letting users test. They don't even have to make deadlines anymore - they just ship it and patch it later (maybe). On top of the standard $60 price point they can stick in a music sampler (not even the full soundtrack) or a little plastic figure to add to the price point. Or maybe they just add shitty cosmetic skins or golden guns. Pre-order the deluxe edition to get 2 pay-to-win DLC packs to boost your status in the game. Buy the season pass and get access to expansive DLC content that hasn't been created yet, should have been included in the main game to begin with, and may or may not end up being total fucking shit.
Don't fucking try to pull this shit. Actual design and programming is much simpler with the tools available now. Most games don't even design their own engine anymore, and they buy most of their assets. If you're attached to a major publisher, you get access to their resources and end up with international teams specializing in art or sound or animation or jiggle physics or whatever else.
The main cost that has gone up is marketing. Budgets only balloon Hollywood style for studios that are trying to ape Hollywood and their output. But who can blame them when people pay up, pay in advance, pay for subscriptions and extra content unseen, and double dip across consoles and PC and, buy the upgraded re-release 2 years later, and then trip over themselves as they run to buy loot boxes?
I live in a city that has doubled its population in the past ten years, but has not done a significant highway improvement, other than allowing the state to add toll roads and turn existing roads into toll roads. They have spent hundreds of millions of dollars... but on bike paths that nobody uses, and restriping four lane roads into two lane roads, causing further congestion.
So, in which part of San Jose, CA, do you live?
Damn, you got him!
I live in CA, but nowhere near San Jose. In my area, they spent about 2 years to add a 2 way bike lane on the residential side of the side walk along one major road. There's also a bike lane on both sides of the actual road. So you have:
{Sidewalk [narrow strip for pedestrians, bike lane, bike lane]} {Road [bike lane, vehicle lane, vehicle lane, divider, vehicle lane, vehicle lane, bike lane]} {Inconsistent Sidewalk [a narrow strip for pedestrians sometimes and just the edge of the road at other times]}
On top of that, they've added additional signals and lights for the bike lanes on the sidewalk. As a pedestrian or a driver, you have to wait for a green and clear path according to regular traffic signals, then check to make sure the new bike lane signal also gives you the go ahead as well (they're not synced or integrated or anything, it's a completely separate layer of signals), and then make sure there aren't any cyclists around because they don't give a shit about the signals and will blow straight through a double red 9 times out of 10.
I have a Pixel (last generation) and it's fine. The only new stuff is stuff that you need Pixel 2 hardware for, otherwise all the OS updates and software features are available on my device too.
Specifically what am I missing that constitutes a "fuck you"?
You're missing the late availability of Android updates/features for Pixel users because the Pixel 2 had to be the first to have it. They artificially held things back in order to let them be selling points for the Pixel 2. The fact that you think "you need Pixel 2 hardware for" any of it is pathetic. "Oh, our camera is so great, and it can only be done on the Pixel 2, WOWOW MAGIC WOW!!" Then a few months later that shit gets ported to the first Pixel.
Android vendors? Android is open source and manged by Google... But if you are talking about a particular phone ISP( Internet Service Provider ) who is generally the one which works with the hardware vendor to put a customized version of Androind on the phone... Well then you shouldn't be clumping them all as "Android vendors".
That's like saying Windows vendors have too many virus's and their patches break the computer all the time.
But I really don't get how you can complain about updates and then roll over and say you just need a phone to do basic tasks. Do the Android based phones stop working and doing these basic tasks and the phone ISP won't update it and get those working again?
Or are you one of the many hired tolls getting paid to post about the idea of trying Microsoft again.
AOSP is open and free. Android is not. The Android running on popular phones is Android + Google Services + Play Store + Google Apps. The coveted "stock" Android the fanboys rave about is Android + Google Services + Play Store + Google Apps + Google Theme/Launcher + Latest Generation Pixel Time-Exclusive Apps + Latest Generation Pixel Time-Exclusive Services.
If you want the latest Android stuff from Google, you'll need to buy a Pixel every year. Not only did Google give a big FUCK YOU to the latest Nexus owners at the time of the Pixel launch, they doubled down when they did the same to Pixel owners during the Pixel 2 launch.
My old 2003 car couldn't get a spare made for a few bucks at a hardware store. The computer checks the physical key electrically and there's a procedure involved for telling the computer to accept a new key. You need either the master key or some secret voodoo to be done by the dealer.
I have keyless ignition, and it's really no different from any ignition with a "smart" key or any sort of lockout/disable mechanism. Either the electronic bullshit works and tries to start the engine or it doesn't. A physical key won't help you there. The keyless ignition is just using RFID or similar shit instead of a physical key. If they battery in your key dies you can hold it close to the button to get it to work. I still have a physical key option for physical entry.
Name one thing that has been done in the last 2000 years that wasnâ(TM)t just a step on top of previous accomplishments.
If you want to be completely pedantic, then all things come from things that came before them. We are in a causal universe, after all. But to claim that "every new advancement is built on top of previous work" is bullshit. Some people do try new things, and people do have eureka moments.
Fees and transaction times balance each other out.
Want to pay a lower fee? Wait longer for your transaction. Want a faster transaction? Pay a higher fee.
Fees are what will keep Bitcoin running after the 21 million BTC are all mined up. Bitcoin is intentionally designed with an automatically-adjusting difficulty that results in a targeted average delay between blocks. This delay is imperative for the operation of the network. You want all nodes to sync the latest block before a new one comes in. Waiting on syncing and confirmations is also critical in order to prevent double spending.
This is all very elastic. Fees, transaction delays, hash rate, and difficulty all balance each other out and change together. Bitcoin will never be a replacement for Visa/etc. because it wasn't designed to run millions of transactions a minute. A decentralized, global platform with no controlling authority cannot be run that way. Transactions have to physically sync and be verified for people to trust the network, and people have to trust the network to be able to use it.
Such regulation typically results in exploitation and manipulation by the powers that be. Go ahead and regulate Bitcoin all you want though, it won't stop people from actually using it.
>Umm, no. It's not. Rocket propellants BURN, they don't explode.
Semantics; an explosion is just faster burning contained in a pressure-vessel, whereas thrust is simply controlling the burn rate and directing the pressure.
Wrong. An explosion is a sound. An angry one that drives people away. It's from ex and plaudere. To clap at someone angrily to get them to fucking leave. It's literally the opposite of applause.
For reference: No one with a brain uses that "iB" shit.
Ever since we started counting bits and bytes, we've counted 1024 of them as a Kb or KB. Similarly, we use 1024^2 for Mb and MB. These are not SI units and never have been. The presence of the b or B means there's no ambiguity or confusion (unless you're a retard).
There are 2 main areas where people have gotten this fucking wrong despite the fact that they knew (or should have known) better.
1: Storage manufacturers. They knew what they were doing yet they did it anyway to advertise slightly more storage. Back in the days of the floppy they did some bizarre shit where they effectively claimed 1 MB was 1000 KB was 1024000 bytes. They multiplied bytes per sector by sectors per track by tracks by sides, then divided by 1024 then again by 1000. Your typical 3.5" floppy the late 80s and the 90s had 512 bytes per sector, 80 sectors per track, 18 tracks, and 2 sides for 1474560 bytes. Dividing by 1024 gives you 1440 KB, which they called 1.44 MB. Perhaps some rube started the calculation with 0.5 KB per sector? Either way, it's fucking wrong.
2: Networking clowns like the IEEE. These fucking morons use 1000 and they don't even know why. Hint: Analog modems dealt with baudrate, not bit rate, and symbols per second, not bits per second. (Digital modems still operate the same way at the physical level, of course.) Some idiot fucked up and forgot that 1 kilobaud at 1 bit per symbol is not equal to 1 kilobit per second. Baud, kilobaud, megabaud, etc. is measured using 1000, 1000^2, 1000^3 etc. Again, the confusion happened because some damned fool mixed the two without thinking.
Today, they proposed "solution" to this is to fucking add a new series of units? That's absurd. Not only does it not correct the problem, it enshrines all those who were fucking wrong and wreaking havoc. Further, it adds MORE ambiguity and confusion. If you see a technical reference mentioning 1 KB or 1 MB, you have to wonder what they mean. Even if you imagine a perfect world years from now where everyone has adopted the "iB" malarkey, if you see a written reference to KB or MB you have to consider when it was written and then try to guess at the odds of someone from the time period knowing about and adopting "iB" shit vs. the original and correct definition (of a KB being 1024 bytes).
1 KB = 1024 bytes. Stop trying to pretend otherwise.
