  1. This isn't even good trolling. There's an entire settings page to disable any and all notifications for each installed app.

  2. Same as my experience. They were never useful.

  3. Re:And what's wrong with such reasonable assumptio on Unemployment in the UK is Now So Low It's in Danger of Exposing the Lie Used To Create the Numbers (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    But why should someone who is taking a sabbatical or has quit the workforce to care for their familybe considered unemployed then? They are clearly not looking for work.

    There's this one called the "iPhone" that Apple sells a 10s of millions of each quarter.

    This is about cellular modems which Intel does make.

    Yeah, that must be it. Just like how Ross Ulbricht was just part of an elaborate frame job by Mark Karpeles. Oh wait...

    Or just point out that Ajit Pai was clearly lying about the DDoS.

    And the reason they are doing so is to get in on the PHB-loved, Gartner "Magic Quadrant" scam game.

    And those same idiots also have a "confirm email" field that also disallows pasting. Even moreso than the password field, that one makes no sense.

  11. The "relics" were already studied by archivists. They were concluded to be historically insignificant junk.

    I've gotten numerous Amazon packages via USPS.

    Since when is a restaurant a creditor? You know, the place being discussed.

    Here in Austin, there are a few establishments that don't accept cash, only plastic. Chi'Lantro [chilantrobbq.com] comes to mind.

    Reading comprehension fail.

  14. Re:Why this obsession with a show being a "hit"? on Netflix Shows Are All Worldwide Hits -- Until They're Not (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Cool story, but that isn't what I or this submissoon is about. It's about shows that Netflix itself is creating and producing. You seem to be confusing that with shows they have exclusively licensed which is not what is being discussed.

  15. Re:Why this obsession with a show being a "hit"? on Netflix Shows Are All Worldwide Hits -- Until They're Not (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Yea, and in the case of Netflix originals they are the producer. So, again, if the show is not a hit it is going to be canceled. Hence why being a hit still matters. Netflix isn't going to continue to produce a show that is a flop in viewership.

  16. Re:Why this obsession with a show being a "hit"? on Netflix Shows Are All Worldwide Hits -- Until They're Not (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    It matters if you want the show to be longer than one season. If no one else is watching, aka it is 'not a hit', it is going to be canceled.

  17. This post is a joke right? American-born, non-Muslims kill more people in a year in mass shootings than all Muslim terrorist attacks combined.

    Sure, if you ignore the fact that most terrorists attacks are being done by native-born citizens or people not from countries on Trump's ban list but instead were radicalized years after immigrating.

  21. Re:Really? on Amazon Prime Is a Blessing and a Curse For Remote Towns (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    It's not free. The price is still paid by the purchaser, it's just baked into the item cost. Same as when a restauarant gives "free" delivery. If they were to itemize the cost you'd see that you're still paying the delivery fee it's just not a separate fee.

  22. Re:Amazon's shipping is crazy on Amazon Prime Is a Blessing and a Curse For Remote Towns (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    You do realize that the cost of prime shipping is baked into the cost of the item, right? You aren't dumb enough to believe that Amazon is just eating the shipping costs, are you?

    Unless all or many the local stores have been hollowed out and shut down because people were using Prime. Now you've reduced supply and increased demand and essentially are forced to paying even higher prices pre-Prime.

    Nope, still falls under good or service. Just because they fed you first does not make them a creditor.
