  1. It's not what you say, it is how you say it. That being said, the point was that the proposed "simple solution" is not the solution it is purported to be by the author.

    Not even close. A gun has no specific; it is inanimate. It can be used for the purpose of agression as well as to protect from agressors. I don't carry a gun, however I am not so stupid that I can't see that outlawing them gives a totally unacceptable advantage to outlaws.

    You don't know what the term wireless means in this context. By your definition all over the ear Bluetooth Headphones are not wireless.

    I have never heard of Google spying on anyone. I am willing to bet that this is because you don't know the definition of the word "spy". By definition spying is a covert action. If a hot woman says to me "If you buy me this outfit I'll let you watch me take it off" I am watching her do it with her consent, not spying.

  5. Well it is quite ironic that you thought that and then showed that you didn't understand it at all then, isn't it. The woman clearly means approach them as if you are afraid that if you say the wrong thing you will be body slammed. She certainly is trying to claim that there is never any time to respond as you fit. The crux of her message is be afraid; be very afraid.

  6. So when a woman comes up to me at work talking about her new stilletos and how cute they are I should tell her she ain't gonna get any pussy wearing those? "The Rock Test" is fucking stupid, and I can assure you if you treat all women the same, and especially if you treat them all as you would Dwayne Johnson, things will not go well.

    Will you do my Eulogy? That is literally the most comforting thought you could have when someone dies. Don't worry ... nobody is in danger of spending an eternity in Hell; any Hell you experience is karmically based on your behavior and the behavior of those in your sphere of influence in the here and now, and any way you slice it he's good now.

  8. I was assuming he understood that he understood poor "specmanship" combined with "cost cutting" implies that this could be a manufacturing issue where the company that builds it used out of spec parts, but now that you point it out he does seem to be more clueless than I originally was giving him credit for.

  9. Re: It's not a "notorious problem" on Even New Phones Are No Longer Guaranteed To Have the Latest Version of Android (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    You missed the point. All the latest versions are not all the latest versions, they are all the latest versions as currently chosen by your distribution. I assure you that if you go through your installed packages after doing an update and compare them to the latest versions from the upstream projects they will not match. In other words, they already do exactly what you are doing. They put together a package with newer versions, which are the latest version for that hardwares distribution, and everyone gets it. No difference. What is confusing you is that there is no Ubuntu-Dell-1200-XPS distribution. In the mobile device world there is a separate distribution for each hardware platform, as the hardware is not nearly as standardized as in the PC domain. Trust me, you don't want a kernel built with 1000 modules your phone will never use taking up space on your phone.

  10. I already acknowledged that you are a troll. You can stop trying so hard to make sure everyone knows that now.

  11. And for the record I am replying to your asinine posts in case someone else will learn and so they don't get sidetracked by your moronic trolling. Off you go now..

  12. Again. Not what I said and you know that. I did realize that this will screw over Linux users too though IF their upstream is Windows hosted using their broken system. So again, they didn't say "let's sabotage the Linux code"; they know that can't happen as the git devs are never going to let that happen. They are sacrificing the distributed part of SCM in exchange for distributing the performance hit over time so it isn't so obvious.

  13. You don't get my point because you keep saying I said something I didn't. I didn't say it was a massive conspiracy. Never ascribe to malice what can easily be explained as incompetence as they say. Microsoft can't make their system perform well so they are trying to defer the lower performance parts so that it won't be so obvious. If you can't clone the repo then immediately disconnect all network connections and have access to all files then that is called centralized not distributed. Distributing the centralization doesn't make it distributed SCM. They broke it because they want to be able to hide the fact that the most important software development tool in the world today, bar none, can't perform nearly as well on Windows due to design weaknesses in Windows itself. They know most people don't understand git, so they know they can break it and look better to the ignorant, which is their wheelhouse. Note, they only break git when using their shitty solution. The rest of us aren't impacted by their incompetence, so don't think I mean git for competent people is impacted.

  14. Yeah, OK. They do this for the same reason they show the desktop way before you can use it. It makes things appear fast so they can say look ... clone times on Linux and Windows aren't radically different now, we must be as good! Seriously, you are clueless about all this, so take the clown shoes comment from the ads you pulled it from and shove them in your mouth where they belong.

    Dumbfuck, he demanded I do his research for him. What you claim is my demanding is merely my refusal to capitulate to his demanding.

  16. So you are an audio engineer who says he gets that the problem might very well not be an engineering issue, but IsAlwaysAMoron is right when he says that Apple engineering is the problem? Are you sure you don't want to rethink that?

  17. If he left the drink behind and left he was much more likely trying to be nice, accept no for an answer, and show that he wasn't petty enough to take the drink back. If it was the actor she was hit for she would have guzzled that sucker then sucked him and rode him all night. Your friend sounds pretty stuck up if she found the guy "creepy".

  18. We understand ... you have no knowledge of audio engineering but like to pretend you do on Slashdot. Have fun!

    Cool story bro

  20. Yeah, no ... I wouldn't think that because I understand physics. Nobody is claiming "it doesn't go loud enough" ... they are saying it goes so loud you can saturate the speaker cones.

  21. I didn't waste my time reading all that .... I read just enough to see that you really have no idea about woman. Guy A walks up and says something and it's creepy behavior because she isn't into him. Guy B, who she is into, walks up and says the same thing and it was cute, or sexy, or what have you. If you ask woman in bars they will also say they deal with a lot of creepy behavior, because just like at the convention there will be a lot of guys she isn't into and a few that she does want to hit on her. End of story.

  22. It was useless and couldn't cause any damage, but could annoy teenagers as they try to talk on their phones all night?

  23. You have it right and explained it well, with one exception. A DA is a District Attorney. You can loosely refer to a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) in casual conversation as a "D to A", but in formal written explanations and documentation it is "DAC", not "DA".

  24. Ah ... but if there is one point that has been driven home hard this year it is that a tiny amount of intelligence with a simple and obvious motive is all that is needed to take over in some cases.

  25. That's actually correct. The real story here is that iPhone X users, at least in these cases, are too stupid to turn their volume down a notch when the audio distorts due to the speaker being slightly overdrive. While this isn't ideal at least it can be fixed with a simple volume down press. If the amps were set too low then they would complain the sound wasn't loud enough, and in that case no button press could solve the issue.
