Keep your wireless one, I keep my corded one. It can only make calls but it can do so forever without a charge.
Oh, what's that? You want for it to be mobile? You want for it to be able to text? Yeah, so there is a trade off. Most sane people understand these concepts and don't come off like a fucking retard in a public forum.
Go get fucked, retarded asshole.

It's a precautionary measure. Currently it's no problem. But as soon as Cortana gains consciousness and takes over the global stack of nuclear weapons, it won't be a good idea to harass her. So be careful!
By that time robot rape cases will fill the courts.. presided over by a robotic judge of course...
Well haven't they initiated the "customer satisfaction surveys" yet? And , of course , do nothing afterwards. But they CAN then say "we 'listen' to our customers" .
....I read somewhere that even within the patent system it seems that most patents have a duplicate from someone inventing the same thing at the same time.
instead of defend, it should be 'use'. unused patent just stifles innovation. you wanna keep it, use it.
Some patents really SHOULDN'T be used . I.E. " New advancement for inceased nuclear kill ratio - ten cities attacked at once. (Patent pending)"... I think defending this is quite suffficient, thank you;-)
The biggest improvement you can make could well be to not force "improvements" like the new format , for one , on anyone. I have noticed that if it works people here REALLY don't want it "fixed". I think the thinks you mentioned such as unicode are nice tweaks that probably could make it more readable.. which is of course a good thing, but the Big Changes don't go over too darn well, and frankly aren't neccessary. If it woiks don fix it, eh?. If 'm wrong somebody like an old timer, (not a week long/. member please;-) please say so. !
You're right. It will take some time. We've owned the site less than 24 hours so we're not going to jump to any rash decisions. But first things first we're going to fix a lot of the broken stuff.
If this is really the new boss speaking, just the fact that you're participating in the forum is a Good Sign... Also, there's a lot of old timers here with extremely good advice too, that's so far been pretty much ignored. It's a good resource though, so don't overlook it. Welcome.
Indeed. "free energy" isn't breaking the laws of theremodynamics or physics at all. Tesla knew that a century ago. There'sn\ other sources of energy all around us (such as "dark energy") that simply haven't been tapped. Consider a century ago how they would have reacted to solar power. "Getting something from nothing" I bet they would have said...
IT workers routinely do this anyways. What this simply does is punish the computer techs instead of the sex offenders. Now EVERY tech is required to "snoop" through ALL the personal files of every client they get, in order to protect themselves. That's EVERY personal file, Mr Politician!. Including that date rape case of yours you hush hushed away before you won the byelection. Or that iffy financial deal you made that could have cost you the nomination. Or... get the drift yet? Sometimes I think politicians are filled with shit for brains if they actually support ths!
I immediately requested a dev build which is all there is at the moment. Nevertheless. it's a REAL step up from broken browsers... There's a waitlist but hopefiully I'll get a copy soon..
Out of all the babble does seem to come one gem of an idea.
Let's lower the corporate tax rate...we have "on paper" the highest in the world.
I say on paper, because the big boy corps, have enough tax attorney's and experts on payroll (whole departments in fact) to find every loophole to pay less and less, while the SMALL businesses get stuck paying the high fees and taxes.
So, let's lower it to a much lower rate, one that competes with the rest of the world, but at the same time...cut out all the deductions and loopholes. You pay x% on profits after your expenses, period.
Doing that would encourage businesses to come back to the US.
Rather than penalize, let's make it a business favorable environment to have your business on US soil, AND have US workers doing the work.
I don't think a business or a person should have a tax form longer than 1-2 pages long.
I doubt this will come about, in that it would take too much power away from congress over us all.
I have to agree. Wholeheartedly. It's the loopholes, espedcially, and offshore accounts where almost all of the money that SHOULD be circulating in the system, is instead doing nothing but collecting %1 interest tax free.. which is a shitload of money when you have several billion. The reality is that it's NOT THE DEBT that is causingf America's woes. The system is a total ponzi scheme engineered by the Fed 100 years ago that ONLY works as long as we're in debt. The debt can NEVER be paid off. The damage is being caused, instead , by billions and billions being taken out of circulation and stuffed into offshore accounts and private investments that make money for only a very select few. The US economy NEEDS that money in circulation being invested in factories, businesses, improved wages, roads and public works.. even pensions.. It is this that could pull America out of the doldrums. Never happen though... Too many Gordon Geckos...
This quote shows the faulty thinking.. " appeasing major studios without destroying the user-base that got their attention" Forget the studios. Altogether and focus entirely on the user base. Eventually the Majors will snap out of their "Gordon Gecko" inspired fantasies and realize that while the customer base can get along *just fine* without them, any attempt, conversely, for the Major studios to get by without their customer base leads to death.. i.e. bankrupcy.
...should be scrapped entirely, just like video stores and bookshops are dying out because they have become obsolete....
A small point here.. Bookshops obsolete? Please say NEVER! OK.. those crap shops with mall lighting and escalators selling those worthless trash novels and vanity pressings were already obsolete when Mosaic was current (!) , as far as I'm concerned..but those wonderful small bookstores such as we have in Victoria and 'Frisco with a dozen small, 8' high, single shaded lamp, rooms that one can get lost in for days can never disappear. That would truly portend the end of civilization on a level as tragic as the burning of Alexandria...
I think I'll do the same. But for me it's his really early show material "I dig everything" and "Sell me a coat" etc.. It very much evokes 1966 Carnaby street and the like to me...
First off, the download was 3GB last I checked. Second, I really don't think the bandwidth consumption is the biggest issue here. Invasion of the user interface is far more aggravating to most users. If it was only for the bandwidth I'd say no big deal. Anybody running on less than 5% disk space has bigger issues than this.
And don't take me wrong. I'm not saying it's not wrong but the average/. user most probably runs torrents, Netflix or some other form of high bandwidth software. Those 3GB of download are a drop in the bucket.
Being a big user of MS products this news is very disappointing to me.
I actually made the same argument as you.. and I was quickly corrected. It's a BANDWITH issue.. And I can see how that woiuld be a problem...
Why would you want a nuclear weapon when you could have a machine to make earthquakes?
You can't stir a cup of tea with a nuke, whereas in theory the earthquake machine offers an infinite range of variability for custom uses; paint shaking, avalanche causement, or cleaning every camera sensor in the country all at the same time. Would you not be fanatically devoted to a country where your camera sensor was forever free of dust? An earthquake machine is plainly the most direct path to the love of the people under your rule, which would also explain why spending on such a project would take precedence over food or shelter.
Oh my goodness! Paint shaking. I take back my comment about it being useless!
What a useful invention. NOT! Create an earthquake in your own country. It's not like they could just move into another and delicately set it all up before triggering it! So It's usefulness would be limited to N Korea.

Sure, but I think the poster was pointing out that they have also followed the same path as avast.

So, which is it .. UEFI is catastrophically broken, or the way it's implemented is clueless and naive?
Because this sounds so horribly broken it isn't funny.
Actually, no, it's actually quite funny in a big giant "WTF" kind of way.
Yes
