  1. And what if "good for what" is what they wanted? The top result on a google search of good for what was a music video called that.

    You are so correct.

    "We spent $100MM on a company that is going to cost us $250MM to unload. What an opportunity!"

    All the employees who have been working on projects to save the company $5MM or $20MM just sigh and bow thier heads.

    MM...megamillion? You could just say billion XD

    You now have the opportunity to fix this thing which is broken.

  5. No, there is no way this has any chance to be economical, not even if the plane, maintenance and fuel were free. You need to pay 2 pilots and 2 (I think?) crew, that makes 9 people having to pay for 4. That means already around $100/hour personnel cost, and that's like optimistic. In other words: the personnel cost of this plane is already ABOVE the END PRICE I pay for a flight ticket. There is NO WAY a 9 passenger plane can be competitive except for charter flights.

    That's the same as any plane though. It's the costs on top that which vary. You're right though you won't see this as a passenger plane for the same reason you don't see any other 9 seat passenger planes. It's all about the charter and staff costs aside, it's going to cheaper. If it works as advertised that is.

  6. So people lose their shit and queue up overnight every year for 5/6 year old devices? Right. You may be typical of the older apple user but not of the current generation and like it or not you are associated with them. Deal with it. Apple is overpriced, its not better, it's just more expensive.

  7. It's because idiots keep paying for it en masse because they just have to have the latest igadget and believe lines like apple make long lasting products and makes new technology when they do neither. They rarely even update their products so they can't be spending that much on r&d. The only thing they do do is iOS and make out like its so impressive the latest version works on old hardware that is not much worse spec than the current model.

  8. something something needs of the many

  9. Glassdoor just updated their best companies to work for list and Facebook is in the top 10 based on employee feedback. Methinks someone is lying to Glassdoor about their experience at Facebook.

    That depends, can you tell who said what?

    Russian trolls

    Yeah, it couldn't be just working people that don't like energy poverty. It's mindless Frenchmen doing the bidding of Russian trolls on Facebook.

    Are you trying to say people don't like it when tax breaks for the rich get loaded onto the everyman? Nah, it's gotta be them Russians.

    There are no 800V cars out at the moment either, so it would have been a bit premature to start installing them.

    Only if you don't mind replacing them all down the line. They want to be installing the most future proof ones they can.

    Sure you can access the messages, they're encrypted still but you got them. Oh yes, they'll force the tech companies to provide access even though it doesn't work like that so job's a good'un then, right?

  13. Sounds about right.

  14. And are they going to do anything to subscription cost to reflect this new "revenue"? Somehow I doubt it.

  20. Wait, you need a certificate to say you've moved before you can cancel? Is that a normal thing or specific situation. The three months notice thing I can see them getting away with but what the actual fuck is the certificate all about?

  21. Re:Big companies look for ways to be abusive. on AT&T Will Keep Your Money If You Cancel TV Or Internet In Middle of Billing Cycle (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    "Americans want to be abused. I wish Americans had a functioning brain." do you see how easy it is to find the source of the problem? Why would your government intervene, when you want to sign a contract that has so many constraints? Why would you support a service that is after your money and doesn't respect you as a customer.

    This is one of the reasons that "free market" fails, because customers are stupid and when they fuck up they want their Daddy to take care of the bad guys.

    Because they've got themselves into a situation where they have government sanctioned monopolies and they don't seem to see a problem with that so it becomes a case of if you want tv or internet you gotta bend over or fuck off. They are the choices.
