  1. Re:These hypocrites do business in Middle East on Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google Lobby Against Texas 'Bathroom' Bill (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    So, if you can't change major things, you're a hypocrite if you try to change minor things?

    That's one way of saying it. Another would be "We'll turn a blind eye while making billions in countries that murder gays and women but act here as if not letting men go into the same bathroom as little girls is the worst sin ever committed by anyone."

    then I'm sure it'll work everywhere else in the world.

    After all, Iran is just like every other country in the world.

    These companies have no problem supporting boycotts of state and companies trying to stop men from going into the bathroom with little girls, but they have no problem with Muhammed using facetime to broadcast a wall being pushed on Steve because Steve is gay.

    Apple, Paypal, Google, Amazon, and the rest have no problem making money in countries where gays are killed, little girls have their clitorises cut out, women are "honored killed" for talking to a random man, and women are raped as a matter of a daily schedule yet they have no problem taking money out of the hands that throw stones and acid.

    It is nothing but pure hypocrisy.

    so they have no problem with gays being stoned to death apparently.

    To be fair, no one is or will be.

    But hypocrite Cook isn't a leader. He's a "keep the schedule running" manager.

  7. What privacy? on Walt Mossberg's Last Column Calls For Privacy and Security Laws (recode.net) · · Score: 0

    People willing turn over their data to these companies for use of "free" products.

    That being said, private companies will always protect data better than the government. There are real ramifications if a public company loses data.

    $20 million now. $20 billion in 10 years. $200 billion in 20. And it keeps going up.

    What the fuck are you talking about?

    "The bill asks the federal government to set aside $20 million in funding for organizations to use to look at the types of benefits programs individual workers could take with them from job to job."

    So you've never noticed how federal programs happened to grow in scope, budget, and the number of people that qualify?

    The only rule for a federal program is to survive.

    This bill says "basic" but you know what that means. "Basic" now, but in five years it will be argued that these are entitlements that everyone should receive if anyone who says otherwise is racist, sexist, and greedy.

    It is sort-of new, depending on your time frame. A 10% profit used to be the respectable and moral price.

    That was never the case.

  13. No one makes anyone buy anything. on How Online Shopping Makes Suckers of Us All (theatlantic.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Prices vary everywhere for a myriad of reasons. BTW, I love this quote

    "The right price -- the one that will extract the most profit from consumers' wallets"

    No shit Sherlock. The goal is always to charge the highest price the market will bear. This is nothing new.

    What clueless douche doesn't realize is that the article is really about which sale price will produce the most sales with the highest profit. What dipshit anti-capitalist doesn't realize is that there are websites and tools that consumers can use to maximize they buying power to get the best price.

    but my favorite OS was Windows Server 2003. The Windows 2k interface on top of NT. It wasn't easy finding hardware with drivers for it, but it never ever crashed.

    My favorite monitor was an SGI 1600SW monitor. I swear, that pixel density was like looking at a piece of paper.

    I don't know many developers who would be willing to get paid in $5 off coupons for use of a program that is so bad they are being paid in coupons just to rewrite it from scratch.

    That's sorta like paying someone a bag of garbage in exchange for taking out your trash.

    I know I'm being trolled, but don't be a tard. Of course FedEx has budgeted a certain amount of money for this.
