Are they even fashion accessories anymore? I can't remember the last time anyone was 'excited' to see what kind of phone someone had.
Better question: Were they ever? I mean clearly they are some sort of symbol to someone. I doubt anyone upgraded their iPhone 7 to an 8 for all those amazing things their 7 couldn't do. Yet there are plenty of people who jumped on the opportunity for some reason. Someone still considers it as a symbol rather than a functional mini-computer / phone.
Yeah but like all extremes the "ideal situation" for your own personal opinion doesn't actually end up creating the ideal situation for you. Case in point: standard utilities and infrastructure. Ideally for your own ideology you would decide 100% yourself where you want this infrastructure to be built. But the net result will likely bankrupt you as you and the rest of the city won't ever agree on it commonly. So the true ideal situation is actually that you as a group defer the power of this decision to someone who from a town planning perspective takes that decision out of your hands, has power over your spending money, and thus ensures the best outcome for everyone though a massive increase in spending efficiency.
If you want to argue that "we" need another GDPR-like law
Huh? Are you US or EU? You're all about the USA and then talking about "another" GDPR like law? You don't have one.
you should just say that you think the GDPR was a mistake
It wasn't and I specifically split this out of the rest of your sentence because what you wrote wasn't coherent in any way shape or form, and that is why unicorns have horns instead of scales.
And you should avoid saying "we" if you mean to refer to a minority of the audience.
The only time I said we was in relation to government enaction of political theory. If you think democratic companies and concepts of tax are "minority" then... look just go back on your meds okay. I won't tell the nurse you skipped them.
Cool story, now what at all does it have to do with Zandronum not being 3D? Just because it used the original files doesn't make it any more fitting of a specific definition.
I've played plenty of Doom mods, including Alien Vendetta. If you think it had hall over hall, congratulations you fell for exactly the kind of foolery that developers put a lot of effort in to create. You may think you were in a 3D game that supported hall over hall, but there's actually no where you as a character can go that put you in a different Y plane depending on the path you took to get there. Feel free to take a look at the map files yourself. They are an incredible tight clusterfuck which is precisely required to achieve this effect, but there isn't a single hall over hall. Here I'll even give you the link to a map of Misri Halek so you can see yourself. https://doomwiki.org/wiki/MAP2...
There are plenty of doom ports and mods that are still 2.5D that obey all the restrictions I set out for 2.5D. There are also plenty of ports that modify the game engine to full 3D while using all the original stuff, e.g. Zandronum.
My money is on this being something sinister. Microsoft has a long history of this.
Sinister? Like just pick an obvious acronym that was unprotected by trademarks? There's a reason trademarks and the like exist. Being open source doesn't protect you from having to register them.
Microsoft doesn't give a shit. If you didn't trademark it, you don't have the power to make them give a shit. Nothing sinister needs to go on. Some people are just douchebags.
There's a story here, but it's not the one being told by the headline.
Yeah the real story is that you just concluded that Apple doesn't sell smartphones, something which many people have been saying all along. The other story here is that Apple is still playing catchup and their platform hasn't matured yet. Shame, they were once so innovative.
Who benefits? It seems to just create more and more trauma in people where the opposite event, less trauma could lead to more happiness.
Is this specific about dictators or is this a generic comment? People in general benefit from collective organisation when they have to share resources. This collective needs to ultimately be decided somehow which gets done by people with power. Even in a direct democracy the system ultimately devolves to those interested in the process consolidating power over others.
This isn't a bad thing. What is bad is if this power goes unchecked. The ideal situation is where someone with power decides things for others, but if those others collectively disagree then they can overturn the decision.
It's gotten to the point that I don't really care what mode my receiver is in
I'm not a huge fan of red velvet cake. But here's the thing, when I got onto the baking forums I don't jump into every post where they are debating the benefits of various red food colourings just to tell them about my lack of interest in red-velvet cake.
You don't like nice sound, fine. But leave the people who do and spend money on good multi-channel audio to debate the affects this change will have on them.
Yeah I know. My family regularly goes into the living room and we all sit down for a lovely movie night. We only have one headphone socket so we share the Beats headphones and then sit down after and each person tells the rest what happened in their 1/5th of the movie.
The only really difficult thing about this is coming up with such a silly post to rival yours.
You are aware that tax and the legal system is a political and economic concept that applies globally and is not something unique to the government of the United States, right?
Investors in a datamining company complaining about datamining. Sounds like those shareholders of Shell who were complaining about climate change.
I can't wait for the logical extension: Shareholders of Smith and Weston complaining that people die due to bullets. Shareholders of Ratheyon complaining that their products explode. Shareholders of VW complaining that customers are able drive somewhere.
I'm guessing you've not seen Zandronum port for Doom
Using the Doom sprites does not make it a 2.5D game. Zandronum is very much a 3D game. The 2.5D games were very much defined by the lack of vertical information that firstly made it impossible to stack rooms, but also made it impossible to actually look up and down without weird perspective problems.
If your game has the ability to look up or down without the walls remaining vertical in your viewport (y shearing) or if your game allows you to look straight up or down, or if your game allows you to have two objects on top of one another and allows you to travel between them (i.e. there's more than 1 "floor") it is no longer a 2.5D game.
Let me guess you are young and naive? Call me again after having worked at least 20 years in the business.
No you guess wrong. What's your phone number?
What I am not is American. What I don't do is overwork or stress out. Companies don't care about me as an employee, and I don't care about the company as an employer. I will work what I'm asked to. If the result is a trend towards a mental breakdown then the legal system protects me in the process, up to 2 years leave a full pay during my recovery. When I am sick, I go home with legal protection.
The net result is that companies realise that destroying their employees isn't just something they can do and that they caring for employees is actually the best possible financial outcome for them. When you live in a country that values not working their citizens to death you'll find not only that companies don't work their citizens to death but actually pull all stops to keep them healthy, e.g. free physio, doctors, gym, flexible work hours where appropriate, additional leave, automatic bridge days, etc.
Taxes are for things that are not "wrong" in the eyes of the law.
No. Taxes are a lever the government has to enact policy gently. Laws are a level to enact policies by drawing a criminal line in the sand. They do the same thing in different ways and there are plenty of ways we tax things for harm that doesn't involve fines or penalties (e.g. carbon tax).
And yet it is the routine retrofit and replacement gas that is used constantly in exactly the applications you describe it as not being the replacement. Just because your duty suffers slightly doesn't make it a direct replacement.
The problem is that we're now legislating that 'need'.
Do you still wash your windows in benzine? Do you still use leaded paint and petrol? Do you still use large tubes of mercury to make tilt switches? You can thank legislation for your current life expectancy and the world you live in. Screw your shitty compressor and its duty cycle.
If any of my R-12 systems need recharging in the future I will be contacting India or China or flipping ISIS if that's what it takes.
On behalf of the world, fuck you you inconsiderate fuck.
I agree, if people are harmed then some form of compensation should put in place. If a society is harmed that should be in the form of regulation and taxes.
But first you need to quantify and prove the harm.

Bahahahhaah. Oh. Have an internet cookie. I tip my hat to you!
Side note: I was being sarcastic, but that's kind of irrelevant now that I've spat coffee all over my laptop. :-D

There's nothing about mil-spec components that says civilians can't buy them.
Shhhh, don't tell the politicians. .... Which is also the point of the conversation.
Errr. Okay. Are you off your meds?

I too get rid of hornets nests by going outside and hitting them with a big stick.

Advertise that you're too poor to afford a new fashion accessory every year?
Based on the assumption that Android phones last about four years
How did you justify that assumption?
There's a story here, but it's not the one being told by the headline.
Yeah the real story is that you just concluded that Apple doesn't sell smartphones, something which many people have been saying all along.
The other story here is that Apple is still playing catchup and their platform hasn't matured yet. Shame, they were once so innovative.
Thee is also the question of why would anyone visit that Islamic dictatorship of a shithole.
Yeah, why would anyone want to see a city with a rich history that dates well back to several thousand years before Christ? I don't get it.
Who benefits? It seems to just create more and more trauma in people where the opposite event, less trauma could lead to more happiness.

Yeah definitely an American if you think that reality is working your arse off until you have a mental break.
