You do know Lethal Weapon is set to be a TV show next year.?.
I guess remaking rush hour worked so well we're now going to get all the cop pair films done. When they do a starsky and hutch based on the film based on the series we know we've come full circle.
And for those of us without a connection fast enough to play a YouTube video? Like in the Seattle area...
This is like the third thread I've seen today with people moaning about Seattle internet. Sounds like it really sucks but do you all have an agreement to to all the complaining ion one day or something?
You've gotten a lot of flak from that post so I'll look past you again not replying to what I said. Instead you seem to having a conversation with yourself repeated many times. When did I say no screening should be used? I didn't. We all noticed your impaired judgment on using effect versus affect and proscribe vs prescribe, multiple times. I guess from that we should all take that you are in fact on drugs and will pull down everything around you, destroy your company and take down all your staffs careers. That seems to be the ultimate result from any impaired judgement. You said it yourself
when I've noticed impaired judgement its turned out to be drugs basically every single fucking time
I would put it to you that responding to this flood of posts all basically saying the same thing is showing impaired judgement. Most folk would've dropped it and moved on yet you've insisted on stubbornly replying to how many people all with basically the same argument. I didn't see many posts backing your position though.
Top people in Western society are completely replaceable, next runner-up would be 99.99% as good. Our society isn't driven by genius, but by merit (aside: unfortunately merit also happen to include a lot of sociopathic behavior).
Actually, most replacements would be better. Yes, there are a few people like Steve Jobs that really are better at the job then anyone else.
I'm half surprised they didn't claim credit for that.
Given a choice between hiring someone with a positive drug screens and someone with negative drug screens, it's an easy decision.
What if your guy with the positive result has a full portfolio, good references and is generally an all round nice guy, just has a couple joints on the weekend or whatever. Yet your negative result is a guy barely qualified, no experience and is one of those tee totallers that make sure everyone knows about it? Are you going to go by the arbitrary drug test that tells you very little or just get the one you genuinely think is better for the job?
Actually every decade we should kill off the top.01%. That by itself will keep the economy flowing as their cash will keep being moved instead of just sitting there.
The rich want all these wars for oil, money and control. They can go fight them.
what happens if you kill the.01% and keep culling until it doesn't exist anymore?
You're left with just the people who don't understand percentages.
That's right - No One.
Pick a destination. Go 50% of the way, then 50% of the remaining distance, then another 50% then another and another etc etc. You will never get there.
Or are you implying no one understands percentages?
Look, calm down and take a breath. Where'd you get the whole pot head thing? Because I mentioned alcohol v a joint? I never made a pro or anti drugs argument. You started by going on about mind affecting drugs and how you refuse to work with anyone on them. All I did was point out there's a whole lot of them and only a fraction, the ones deemed illegal are the ones tested for. Do you demand to know if everyone you do business with in on prescription meds or demand to see drug tests on all business partners and their staff? Is that on your application forms for jobs? I highly doubt it but even if you do and you flat out refuse to go any where near anyone who is on/has had any mind altering drug, legal or illegal I can all but guarantee you have been on a regular basis and been none the wiser.
I actually require the tests for people that work with me. Drugs that effect mental processes... Effect mental processes. They impair judgement in my experience and make people unreliable.
So is it just the illegal drugs or all mind affecting drugs? A lot of people in America and elsewhere are on prescribed drugs that have an effect on the mind. Do they count? Does alcohol count? That can have a big effect on the mind, much more so than smoking a joint. By the way, your post reads like you're on something. Also learn the difference between affect and effect. Boom, double spaced loon.
Same, every phone I've had has been able to get radio in one way or another. Not that it's a feature I've really used or looked for but it's been there. Maybe a coincidence but probably not.
...because a successful businessman who have a proven track record of being able to predict future trends in business has made a $1bn bet that this particular tech company will keep growing? On a site about tech news?
Sounds like it should be on a gambling site then. This is stretching the line to tech news.
Never heard of gaybashing ? It is STILL a common practice.
I've heard of it as in verbal and even physical abuse sometimes, less and less so as the world becomes more accepting and people stop giving a shit about inconsequential stuff that doesn't affect them. But still it's no where near codified murder in a most particularly brutal method. Yes some people are homophobes and some even go as far as to kill but it's still illegal, punishable by law and not accepted by society on the whole.
Oh fuck no! First Sol Trujillo and now that prick.
Do you Americans think that just because we have crocs, snakes, stingrays, crocs, spiders, crocs and sharks that your worst vermin should be sent to Australia?
You're supposed to be feeding them to the crocs (because you could do with some more, right), but somehow they keep getting jobs instead. Come on Australia, sort it out.
The only time I hear about Nokia is when folks from Europe talk about how much better the Lumina was than it's competition.
The Lumia's are great phones, I have a 950. They're just hampered by shit software. I doubt ms will continue with it for too long and nokia are making a great move getting their hardware designs out with android on it. I used to have an n7 on their propriety OS which I can't remember what it was called but suffered one of the same major problems as there being a fraction of the apps available and even the best just on par with average to good android apps. Even the xbox smartglass app is better on droid than wp.
Yes that Foxconn, the one with the suicide nets around the factory.
It is popular to bring this up.
I would like to point out that the total number of suicide attempts (18) at Foxconn is relatively low.
There are buildings in the US with a higher suicide count where no discussion about building suicide nets is taking place.
Are people jumping off them because they're easy to jump off if that's the way the wanna go or because they work long shifts in the building, eat shit food in the building and live in cramped dorms in the building all for a pittance?
Not surprising really. I got myself a lumia 950 when they first came out. I thought sweet, windows 10 laptop, xbox and phone will all be able to interact and all that. Can they fuck. Ok you can stream the xbox video to the laptop and play from there. That's cool I guess if I wanna use a 17" screen with tinny speakers instead of a 43" with huge fuckoff speakers behind it. Maybe if the wife's parents come over or something. As for the phone there's nothing. You can get the pc version xbox app but you can't stream to it and it offers nothing over the desktop version other than being in your pocket. The fucking smartglass app is so much better on android it's not even funny. At the end of the day the actually hardware is solid and I have no real complaints but the software side just sucks, I should've stuck with a 'droid but now I have this for another 18 months. It's not like I can even install android on it ffs.
I like customization. That's why I use Linux Mint with KDE.
But if you use Windows, then you have no right to complain about MS's software. You've freely chosen it, and you're refusing to abandon it in the face of alternatives.
What alternatives? Mac (way more expensive), linux (way more complicated) and..........
Here's an analogy for you: you're renting an extended-stay room......
Yeah but there are only three room renters, this one, another one that's not quite in some respects or just as good in others but is way more expensive (although it is very pretty) and the third one you basically have to do everything yourself. You get 4 walls and fill it in at your own time and cost however you see fit.
However your analogy fails in the first step as these are not things that are rented. MS may be trying to get to that model and trying to pretend they're already there. I mean you could always go out and buy a copy of win 7 except oh yeah, they stopped selling it, so you gotta either find one in the wild or pirate it.

Where internet connection ?
Right they're!
Sounds like a mercy killing. I'm sure Win10 is against the Geneva Convention.

This. When you spend 12+ hours a day, seven days a week with your coworkers, you would know if they were addicts.
Who the fuck is working 7 12 hour shifts a week? If that's you, you need a better job!

In English we have lists of known words, and style guides. There aren't any rules
I can tell that you really believe that. That's depressing. Languages and grammars have rules. Obey them, plox.
I NOT WILL!
