Well, some people eat shit. Literally, some people eat shit. I don't understand them either. Sometimes people do things that don't make sense and there is really no understanding it. Sometimes they happen to be part of a small minority and sometimes they are a majority. It doesn't make their behavior any more reasonable. With that said, I'm trying to understand. That is why I'm having this conversation here on Slashdot.
So you pay and you win the game or kick ass.. where is the reward in that? All you did was invest more money than anyone else. More people are likely to consider you as a bigger loser than a bigger winner. Anyway, I know I am fighting an uphill battle here. Long story short, putting money into anything is not a replacement for character.
Honestly, I do most of my shopping at wal-mart. The clothes I have get worn until they wear out and I can't tell you what brand they are. I drive a minivan because that is what fits the practical needs of my family. If you're looking to make this case, then you are definitely talking to the wrong person. I don't attach any value to any of those things, and I'm completely fine with the way I am without them.
The day I attach my self esteem to something that isn't real is the day I seriously start to reexamine my life. I don't really believe in fancy clothes or make-up either. I've always been able to understand that anyone can wear a suit, and a person's intelligence and skill is not attached to it. But I have to say, at least those things are real. I guess it just surprises me that people could take things to an even greater level of frivolousness than that.
Wow.. just wow. Seems the only smart thing to do is to stay far, far away from that. I'm ok with the government giving money value by limiting it... because they're the freaking government. I can wrap my head around physical goods having value, because only so many can be manufactured. I can even kind of understand bitcoin, though I would never use it, because it is limited by no one except for its own internal mechanism. But having a game company tell me that something virtual has value because they alone chose to let me use it or not... I guess I'm just part of the wrong generation to put up with that.
When companies such as Steam can back their virtual products with the same security and universally guaranteed value as federal currency, perhaps I will change my mind. So far it seems to take more than a $10 warez for a sleezeball in Russia to take money out of my personal bank account and make it available for their own personal use.
I'm just saying that I have seen many people comment that they use OSX because otherwise they would have to install AV, and it is too difficult for them.
For me, it is very difficult to relate to these people. It seems to be a human thing to look around you at the world and do what you can for it. That's not to say the business I am starting won't make money, since a business has to be viable, but I would never think of an idea that didn't make the world better for every one in some way. Empty people make empty businesses I guess.
The significance I see in this is for families. A family of four can easily be close to $200 to see a movie, and it's not even a comfortable setting. I'll take it for $50 any day. Although that said, there are very few movies that I won't wait for the blu-ray release.
Is facial recognition good enough to detect differences between identical twins 100% of the time? Or are twins the next group to be left out in the cold by a technological advancement.
Except for the fact that Obama was the underdog because he made too much sense, and Trump is an underdog because people think there is no way in hell a radical bully loudmouth like that could ever be an American president.
A society is better off having as many people as possible who can comfortably afford food and shelter. If you can accomplish that and still support ride sharing, then yes the society is better off. If not, I'll take vehicle ownership any day. To accomplish that, you need as many sustainable industries as possible.
Also, "better for consumers" usually means "better for the citizens overall". This is far from different than "better for the average person". Ensuring there is special consideration given for service to those with physical disabilities, or avalable service to troublesome parts of a city for example.
That occurred to me as well, except in that case I would expect there to be a whole bunch of other readable data in the same vicinity. This was just a single small file with the text inside.

I guess I just don't see how any of this is news.
Was this really a secret? *GASP* Do you think Uber is doing the same thing too??

I don't really understand how a knife skin can be 'extremely rare'.. Why don't copy commands work on it?

I know there are a lot of OSX users out there that find it too difficult and/or inconvenient to install AV.
This is why I question the logic of paying for anything that exists in virtual space.

How is it, with all the problems in the world, our current technological leaders fail at solving any of them?

I'd be inclined to agree with you if I felt I could trust anything that comes out of Trump's mouth.
Good to hear. Maybe there is hope for America yet.
It's like a cliques in high school isn't it?
On the other hand, Trump's attitude reminds me much more of being in elementary school.
Except for the fact that Obama was the underdog because he made too much sense, and Trump is an underdog because people think there is no way in hell a radical bully loudmouth like that could ever be an American president.
That's placing an awful lot of faith in the ability of the average American to think logically and rationally for themselves.

Because Microsoft products and services you can buy anywhere but many Apple products can only be found at the Apple store, perhaps?
