  1. I bet they'll have that pirating problem nipped in the bud by next week.

    Nah. They'll build their own infrastructure as long as they can soak people for it.

    So you think the experience of creation is worth breaking people's eardrums and damaging electronics. That's very interesting.

    Sure it does! Professional... who needs to look cool but really only needs a browser and email to do his/her job.

  6. Shoot I was hoping why the bluetooth starts cutting out randomly and with loud pops after the laptop comes back from suspension.

    This is exactly what these companies want. They're salivating at the chance to be the first to control the movement of population in entire districts.

    I don't like anything that can do random things when I put my phone in my pocket without locking it.

    So I'm supposed to know the ins and outs of how a phone work in the 10 minutes I'm standing with it at the kiosk?

  10. Re:Buttons on Android Q May Change the Back Button To a Gesture (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    I'm fine with virtual buttons. I just don't like gestures. My hands are too big to do things like that constantly on a phone.

    I have very big hands, but that's why I get a big phone. I don't know if the Note 9 is the biggest but it seems to fit my hand and I can use the stylus too for finer work.

  13. Buttons on Android Q May Change the Back Button To a Gesture (theverge.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How is a swipe easier than a button? Why can't people understand buttons??

  14. I do a lot of rapid fire, easier questions when I interview. A person who is full of BS will get tripped up because you have to have a working knowledge of the subject to keep talking through rapid fire answers,.

  15. I just want to say, thank you for holding the world back just a little bit. I'm sure you are happy in the US but the rest of us will move on without you.

    Technology definitely has a role to play.

  17. Netflix on Netflix Cancels The Punisher and Jessica Jones, Ending its Marvel Shows (cnet.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    I find all the netflix superhero shoes start really strong and then fizzle out. Watching Titans and it starts very raw and action packed, but four epis in it's a soap opera.

  18. I really enjoyed Assassin's Creed 2 and was ecstatic that I could get it for the PS4 that I bought for my kids. So I bought the whole Ezio collection for my PS4. Then I just found out that the next two games were basically the exact same game with some minor elements added. I won't be buying the rest since I have lost interest.

    Yeah ok.. EVs work for everyone, got it.

    But if you're going into town, you use the vehicle you can do it all with while you are there. You don't go into town with the EV for a meeting, drive home, then come back with the truck and pick things up. Total waste of time.

    I"m pretty sure Trump promised the little guy that the hot economy would help him, after all. If the little guy's wages aren't going up then they aren't being helped.

  22. Re:Another capitalism most on Why Some US Cities are Fighting 'Dollar Stores' (eastbaytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Trump controls all wages by controlling the economy. A hot economy with low unemployment means higher wages. Trump would be the first to take credit for the hot economy, though there is much that is debatable about his role in it.

    Google ended the honest internet I think. It seems every advancement in technology comes with an agreement attached that you give up your privacy. If you want your privacy, you can feel free to live in the stone ages.

    I might add, I firmly believe if the government was doing the right things there would be no race division. It is the current state of the economy that exacerbates the division.
