  1. Terrible review

    1) "its fast" dur no one said it wasnt
    2) "he has usb-c SSDs" wow go you
    3) "dongles arent a problem as i use the laptop in a desktop setting anyway and will be buying a thunderbolt dock for the desk" AWESOME man thats great that youve removed the laptops killer feature, portability, to accessorise
    4) "everyone that isnt as enlightened as the reviewer sucks" thanks for telling us we arent as good as you because this generation of MBP doesnt work for our needs

    I too have become spoiled with having laptops with USB ports and SD Card readers :D

  3. Re:Simple Solution on Apple Cuts USB-C Adapter Prices In Response To MacBook Pro Complaints (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    This is actually my plan, I was waiting on the new MBP as I want the 2TB SSD and the 'e' key on my current MBP is broken.

    However, I need a fully functioning SD Card reader in the field and the ability to copy data around with a USB key to other people and I can't be bothered of the burden of having to ensure I've packed a separate card reader and USB-C -> A converter in one of the three different bags to guarantee I can effectively work.

    I'm unlikely to forget to take my laptop to work but I forget the SD card dongle for my iPad all the time as I only have the one...

    This is also probably the real reason apple removed the SD Card reader as similar devices are available to use the SD slot to increase storage.

    not quite, think of it more simply as atheists do not believe there is a god.

    like, we are the default state of being, before you start shovelling layers on us, one of which is a belief layer.

    i don't walk around believing there is no god, in as much as i dont walk around believing that i am not a millionaire. i am simply not a millionaire and i reject the notion of a god to believe in

    consider a new born baby with no education on religion, does he believe in a god? does he believe there are no gods or is he simply unaware and not involved in this bullshit?

  13. The only iPhone upgrade I've actually *wanted* .. on Tim Cook Defends Apple, Teases Exciting New Products In The Pipeline (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    Was when I upgraded my iPhone 4s to the iPhone 6s Plus as I really wanted the larger screen real estate.

    Every other iPhone upgrade was because Apple released a version of IOS that basically nerfed the performance forcing me to upgrade.

    So I guess that's what they mean.

    A well-known example: in 2009, a study found that Utah had the highest rate of online porn subscriptions of any state in the US. Latter-day Saints, who form a majority of Utahâ(TM)s population, profess a belief in avoiding pornography.

  18. reptile brain vs mammalian brain on The Empathy Gap and Why Women Are Treated So Badly In Open Source Projects (perens.com) · · Score: 1

    Lack of empathy isn't just the fault of autism, it's also due to the nature of the business.

    When I'm coding I'm in a creative, but heavily logical space. My brain is just crunching paths, 1s and 0s and firmly sat on the reptile side of the fence. If I want to go out and socialise with people and relax the mammalian, emotional, side will need some warming up, especially after 9 hours of heavy logical, reptile thinking.

    This is the nature of normal people's brains, male or female.

    To have someone firmly using the logical side of their brain and then expect them to be immediately empathic is just not going to work, regardless of gender and focus.
