And I'm saying, what about when a bug shows up on Oracle's or Microsoft's systems, that has been there for 9 years, and they still take a couple months to fix it after it becomes public knowledge?
Assuming you can even connect. I had an 8+ hour network outage a week or two back. (For some reason, whenever I get an outage on Time Warner it hardly ever lasts less than 4 hours straight. For awhile it was happening every 3 or 4 weeks.)
That's right, I didn't even get 2 nines this month. (720 - 8) / 720 ~= 98.9% uptime
How about an extra 2 or 3 zeros instead. How much does T-Mobile make per year in profits?
For the full-year 2016, T-Mobile expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $9.7 to $10.2 billion, up from the previous guidance of $9.1 to $9.7 billion.
So 48 mill is right around 5% of their yearly income. If they were just doing this in the U.S. you can exclude their international income, and the number starts to sound more reasonable. Take away any profit they could've made with their illegal maneuver, and an extra slice on top for being jackasses. Then the question is just how big to make the slice so that the message gets through (hint: may not be possible).
Or, more usefully: 60.7% to 37.5% of the popular vote. Quoting electoral college figures aren't worth much most of the time due to districting and winner-take-all.
Besides your sentence not really making sense grammatically, yes, what's your point?
Free speech is free regardless of whom you're talking about having it. A lot of people seem to be of the opinion that only speech they agree with should be allowed, but that's just another way of saying they're anti-free speech. So I wouldn't want any candidate silenced, be they Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, or...whoever else we have running that I haven't heard of.
Somewhat orthogonal to my point, but yes--no tactile feedback when you "type" a key on a flat touchscreen. You can set it so phones vibe very briefly when you press a button, but that vibes the whole phone so it does nothing to indicate to you tactically *which* key you pressed--an on-purpose key typed with your left pinky will register the same as an accidental keypress with your right pinky.
And touch-typing relies on you being able to start pressing the next key on the keyboard before the previous key has returned to its resting position for good typing speed. Without range of motion of virtual keys you can't do that on touchscreens.
If the content being input is not plain ASCII text, you betcha. How many wpm is your flowchart typing speed?
Okay, but I was talking about normal text.
While it is true that "typist's elbow" and the other debilitating problems you get from typing aren't called "writer's cramp", that is very different from what you claimed (not getting the problems).
I know I'll get writer's cramp a hell of a lot faster and more intensely than any typing stiffness. But I haven't personally used a laptop to take lecture notes so I guess you tell me.
Write in ink on paper with the Real Pen, and let the Yoga Book seamlessly digitize your notes
Why would anyone *want* to do this? Can people commonly write by hand faster than they can type? And you don't get writer's cramp while typing.
See my other comment slightly above. Until I see a video of somebody demonstrating a decent typing speed with it, I strongly suspect this will basically end up having to be hunt-and-peck.
I'm STILL waiting for the day when the whole keyboard surface is flat-but-springy (like, oh my god, a touchscreen!)
"Springy"? I'm not even sure what you mean.
And touch typing kind of relies on the physics of starting to press another key before the last one has fully rebounded for its speed. I imagine building the same behavior into a touchscreen would be a circle of hell software-wise. Why do you think we have Swype and stuff on phone keyboards?

Instead of storing up anything in advance, let's flip the coin on winning knife-fights in the street to bootstrap our supplies. Yeah, sounds real workable.
Your fire would handily be suppressed by 50-cal machine guns mounted on pickup trucks.
The 50-cal machine guns that you're saying nobody should bother preparing in advance? Are you assuming they're going to be looted from the National Guard or something?

Who the fuck cares about his tax returns? As if Trump doesn't have enough other problems?!

Your move, Sparky.
And whenever an article like this comes out, it's almost always already patched on Linux. How often is that the case with the proprietary sphere?

An all-you-can-eat buffet. Are you really so dense you can't see the parallel between that and "unlimited"?
Then again, there's a world full of actual adult women that you can do this with without getting into trouble.
You know, like those two Swedish women who are charging him with rape.
Not that, y'know, pissing on the neighbor's lawn would actually hurt anything at all...
Not the best analogy.
You simply cannot make an informed decision given limited and filtered information.
So you're saying it's fundamentally impossible to make an informed decision in the election? Guess nobody should be voting then.
Or, more usefully: 60.7% to 37.5% of the popular vote. Quoting electoral college figures aren't worth much most of the time due to districting and winner-take-all.

Isn't a problem because everybody does it and nobody cares, or it's covered up, or it's a perfect utopia?
What is your real reason for hating survivalist nuts? If he's hunked down in a bunker somewhere not hurting anyone, who cares?
