I RTFA, it's a 0% discount. I'm thinking this probably happened as part of a separate deal (also mentioned in TFA). I imagine samsung wanted the s8 sold in microsoft stores. Microsoft said OK if they could load it with MS apps. Samsung didn't care one way or the other because no one would ever think to buy one of these things from an MS store to begin with. They just get the publicity and advertising associated with having their product there.
Thanks for the interesting perspective, but I just don't agree.
#1 Common sense would dictate that they should at least be able to report what they *are* doing or not doing. I don't believe the requirement is to report information that they don't already have and would require an expensive enterprise level system to obtain.
#2 This is kind of irrelevant. Most people would rather drive a car that can go 300 mph even though they'd realistically never use that. That doesn't mean Honda should be allowed to falsely advertise a 300mph Civic.
#3 You've provided a reason why an ISP might oversubscribe, but no reason why they shouldn't be able to report it.
#4 The "right" way is not to get rid of net neutrality. The 1% of users are still paying for what you're advertising. You should advertise to everyone what is and isn't available and treat your customers equally. Lunch buffets have been dealing with this kind of thing for a while without false advertising or "shaping" the food available to the over-eating 1%.
I'm surprised someone hasn't already mentioned that the 2016 civic with sensing package (not even that expensive) already follows the car in front of you and stays in the lanes.
I wouldn't consider them upstanding but they are at least honest about their views. Whether or not you agree with them is another thing entirely, but making up stories about them seems to be the status quo lately.
I'm getting tired of this excuse. "Let's just agree to disagree". No. Trump uses the office of the president to outright lie to the American people. Whether or not he knows he's lying is beside the point. In fact, if he really believes in all the crap he spews then it just makes him even more despicable.
However, the point you were replying to was basically saying it's OK to stretch the truth in order to attack Trump even more. For the record, I'm not on board with that. These people have enough factual dirt to shine a light on.
It's true that the cost of higher end housing would probably increase in SF because everyone living there would now have more money, but most of the people who stay can probably afford it anyway. To put it another way, it doesn't matter if the cost of housing in SF increases because the people who can't afford it (right now even) would have greater opportunity to leave and spend time finding a job somewhere else. Moving and job searching take time and money. This is what UBI offers.
Your argument seems to be that we should pass the blame from corporations to everyone else. Yes consumers are stupid. Yes congress is way too easily manipulated by the corporations. That doesn't excuse anti-competitive, price-gouging behavior. And remember, corporations are people. They have a moral obligation to play fairly for the good of society. Don't let them fool you into thinking they'll go out of business if you don't give them everything they want.
I think you're confusing Google Voice with an SMS handling app. It's more of a backend service that forwards messages to any number of anonymous phones allowing you to give out just one number. If someone sent an MMS to that number (provided by Google Voice) it didn't go through and you would get an email with the picture attachment. Group chat was/is impossible.
What do you call Libya and Syria, just for starters?
I would call them civil wars. We (and other nations) just provided air support after things got nasty.
Hell, at least Bush got authorization for his war against Iraq - Obama just ignored Congress completely and bombed the country for months.
The question is what exactly does "war" mean. Is just bombing a "war" without ground invasion? Does the war powers act require authorization for *any* military "help"? Iraq was certainly a "war" by any definition, and Bush may have had approval from congress but it was still (arguably) a violation of international law. In any case, there's no comparison between Bush and Obama interventions in terms of lives and taxpayer cost.
That depends on your definition of "at war". We've officially withdrawn from Iraq. We still have advisers there, but we never completely withdraw from anywhere. Troop levels in Afghanistan are also lower than they've been in a decade: http://www.npr.org/2016/07/06/...
Especially considering he didn't start *any* wars, I'd say it's pretty easy to argue that he was better than Bush.
The republican won't meddle in middle eastern affairs? The guy who thinks the Iran deal was "bad" isn't more likely to lead to nuclear or regional wars? What planet are you living on? Nuclear war (or traditional war in general) with Russia is extremely unlikely no matter who takes office. More importantly though, we're already at cyber war.
If it's not availble, it's only the manufacturer's fault of being lazy / wanting you to rebuy new hardware.
Which, as usual, changes nothing. Same reason phones don't have replaceable batteries and linux hasn't made it to the desktop. People are still screwed.
I agree with your statements about the camera and speaker modules, but there's more to it than that. The point is swapping and customization. Aside from the fact that the camera mod sucks, a hobbyist photographer would love to just keep that kind of thing on their phone mostly all the time. The biggest complaint from DLSR users is that they hardly ever have it on them when they need it. Not a photographer? Get a different mod. Almost everyone would appreciate a bigger battery mod. Someone might just want swappable style covers because they're more into fashion (much like swappable watch bands). Personally I'd like a thinner wireless charging cover for day to day while having a battery extender mod ready for vacations. Battery extender cases are bulky, ugly, and cover your usb port. It's too bad motorola only puts the wireless charging in their battery extenders and not in the style covers:\
I knew Cyanogenmod was doomed as soon as Microsoft bought it.
Steve Kondik needs to go back to his roots and just do better android ports for common devices again. There's still a big need for it.
I knew it was doomed when Xposed for Lollipop was released. There's not a "big" need for it, and you just end up with some amateur developers compiling it for your device without the ability to really fix any major bugs.
This is because Trump supporters aren't really Trump supporters. He got less votes than McCain and Romney. He's actually very unpopular, but lucky for him there's a large swath of people that turn out and vote republican in every election no matter what. Add to that: Clinton not exactly inspiring turn out, which is predicted to be the lowest since 2000 (see any parallels with that election?). The democrat's win or lose based on turn out, so the real education from this election is that democrats can't expect turn out based on negatives from the opposing candidate. It should have been Bernie.
What exactly is the difference? Some people find gays being married offensive. Some people find declawing cats offensive. Some people find abortions offensive. Some people find a 40 year old marrying a 4 year old offensive. Some people find religion offensive. What if I am offended by a cake that says
"Jesus is the only way"? What if I'm offended by someone wanting me to draw a giant penis on a cake? What if I'm muslim and I'm offended by a picture
of jesus on the cross or a picture of Mohammad? Should a muslim have to violate their belief to draw a picture of Mohammad on a cake?
The difference is the cake vs the person buying the cake. You described a bunch of things to put on the cake.
If it was a generic cake then how exactly did they even know that they were gay?
Does it matter? Are you arguing it's not possible for them to find out the person's gay if they don't request a huge penis on the cake?
Wedding photographers even have to attend the ceremony.
Which answers one of your previous questions.
Try to organize a KKK meeting and see how many speakers,
cake decorators, photographers, etc... that you can get to willing participate in your event.
This makes sense if they want people to take pictures of a burning cross and write "white power" on a cake. This isn't really that complicated...
You can absolutely refuse to make a cake if the customer wants something you think is offensive written on it. You just can't refuse to make a normal generic wedding cake for someone who's gay.
Oneplus X doesn't have a removable battery. Your best bet is going to be getting a Galaxy S4 and unlocking the bootloader so you can load a newer OS from Cyanogenmod or similar. It's a pretty old phone so custom ROMs should be fairly stable.

Security was a top issue in the electronic ticketing system? Did they think someone was going to research and exploit some 0-day just to cut in line?

That's because YouTube has ads and user preference tracking. Java does not.
I think the benefit would be seen only if you need to make multiple stops in any order you see fit.

both Apple and Samsung make their own SoCs that are as good or better than what Qualcomm puts out
Yeah no. "when it comes to the single-core test, the Snapdragon scores 2,282 and the Exynos scores 1,873"
Get this and put it under the case you'll already need to get rid of the camera hump.

Hopefully they at least update their latest offering to the new version.

Duh. The Huawei watch competes with the second gen Moto 360. Mine easily lasts 36 hours as well.
