My favorite reason for people not wanting to buy a phone
SDCard slot: no
Because not all OEM's want to pay M$ for having a SDCard
M$ owns FAT, any phone that uses a SDCard slot has to pay M$ a license fee
Why would any company want to go to bed with M$ is beyond me, I'm just glad there is a choice, I always choose no sdcard, I backup everything to either my own cloud or ftp server
Haven't used any M$ since 1997 and very proud of it.
A way that is completely dishonest should be treated as fraud.
I fail to see how it's dishonest. When they're logged off they are unavailable by definition; there's nothing in the rules that says they can't coordinate their unavailability, and the whole point of being an Uber driver is being able to work only when you want to do so. They're simply using the system to their benefit - and if you're upset with that, you need to direct your anger at people way, way farther up the socio-economic ladder, as well as a very long way back in history. And hey - the drivers didn't actually create this specific system which allows one party to take advantage of another - that would be Uber's 'accomplishment'.
Interesting
I would assume that you are young and college educated, and I assume educated in the US (this all explains the way of thinking)
It is price fixing + cheating
I can go on to say what else is wrong with your thinking, but, not sure if you would be able to grasp it
"Cheating" the system is why this country is so fucked up, and people like you that think it's ok, it is embarrassing sometimes to be an American
Corporatism, cheating, and greed fucked this country big time, I do miss the 50's and 60's
Do you see the trend here $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ greed, filthy greed that made us looooooose are rights for profit, greed has ruined this country, not smoking, drinking, sex
Oh, what about the children !!
One of the only countries in the world that does drug tests to work (illegal in countries outside the US because it invades privacy and is against the law to do so), my time off weekends, vacation, I should be able to smoke a joint if I want to and not be punished. lol free country, my privacy rights my @ss
One of the only countries in the world that does credit checks to work/etc...
Outside the US, 18 years old (except Canada, 19) and you are an adult and can do what you please, smoke, drink, sex, etc..
I could go on, I won't, I am embarrassed at what has happened to this country and people like you that think this stuff is ok, perhaps you should live in russia or china= communism, oh wait, even in a communism state you don't have drug tests to work, you can smoke, drink, sex, hell they actually have more freedom and fun than the US, talk to Snowden or anyone else that has been there, I have, I had a great time.
Pay for education/health insurance ?? No-one in this GREAT, FREE country should pay for education/health insurance (greed)
We are a third world country when it comes to education/health insurance, and the most expensive, and it shows, just read this whole discussion, look at the people saying 18 is not old enough to smoke, drink, live, but, work to 70+ years old, then enjoy a few years of life after the government & states drained so much money and rights from you.
You can go to war and die at 18 but not drink or smoke ?
WTF is wrong with you people ??
Freedom, freedom, freedom (basic fscking principles of how life use to be in the US )
People wonder why other countries don't like us, mock us, laugh there @sses off at us (I own a home in the US & England, 3 of my 5 kids live & work in England).
You people must be blind or you were bought into this scheme. The scheme being that 98% of the countries out there have more rights and freedom than the
LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE
I miss the 60's & 70's, our ancestors and founding fathers are rolling in their graves at what the fsck has happened to this country
Home of the free & brave BULLSH!T
I wonder how many people in my age group 61-70 agrees with any of this bulls!t that these young spoiled whippersnappers are trying to say is justified.
The USA is one fsck up place to live now and is getting worse.
It makes me sick to my stomach to see most of these responses and people trying to justify......
Like most people like you that have no clue, without debian, ubuntu wouldn't exist, ubuntu is based on debian.
It's astonishing how many people don't know that
Now, go play with your antiviri, malware, spybot, rootkit, updaters and reboot a few dozen times in between updates and in the mean time, I will get some work done on my debian sid system.
97% of people that use ubuntu, don't even know that ubuntu is based on debian, *one of the oldest distro's out there.
Once ubuntu gets it's hands on the frozen 6 month snaphot of debian, it ubuntizes it and makes it not binary compatible with debian and releases it to the public and the public and tech writers go all lolly gaga
No, ubuntu sucks because it is nothing more than a six month snapshot of debian, ubuntized to make it binary non-compatible with debian goes against debian's DFSG (Debian Free Software Guidelines) http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines
ubuntu is the aol of linux
But, choice is a good thing, I don't use, nor will ever use a watered down debian distro.
Just because ubuntu comes with codec's and *such* don't mean you can't install it in debian proper using apt-get update && apt-get install "whatever", notice no sudo bullshit
""How "user friendly" is an OS with such piss poor design that features Windows has for over a decade""
Hmm, perhaps another college educated person ?
It really amazes me
How anyone with any type of a pea sized brain that knows anything about computers (yes, even so called "retail" personal) and yet, has the "balls" to compare windows and linux
Yes, I do consider you a troll, a troll that has no clue why ?
Why ? Why ?

You see, the difference between YOUR challenge and My challenge is mine works
Be thankful you have a choice, I choose Linux it works for me
That is my choice and I am happy
It's not your choice and your happy
Over the years here, reading your posts made me wonder.....
This thread was excellent it really shows how... you really are
In fact, I wouldn't let you touch anything electronic with a billion foot pole.
How you ever got by in so called "retail" "system builder"
I have no clue, I would not go to you even for free, your criteria of measurement does not measure up to me
You my son, yes, I can say son, cause you are young, have lost what little respect I had for you to begin with
You have lost cause of plain old stupidity
plain & simple
I do have to say, you are one of the best trolls I have seen on./
I have never seen someone as unhappy as you, being a retailer and all, maybe it's time for a new line of work
Ubuntu on the other hand would be my last choice as a linux distro to use/install, it is the AOL/Windows of linux
I for one, don't even count ubuntu as a distro, it is nothing but a frozen snapshot of debian, bastardized and not even debian binary compatible.

Rookie, I take it you've never been there, and this is coming from an American errr Obamacan
I wouldn't mock the Brits to much, there same Fords, Chevy's, get twice the amount of gas mileage that we get
cell phone plans lol, don't even go there
the monthly plans we pay for tv,,internet is a freaking joke compared to the tv license you pay once a year and that is cheaper than what I pay per month to watch hundred's of channels of paid advertisement and commercials (adverts) every 4-5 minutes
I would say that America is much much more of a dictatorship than the UK

Debian is the leader
Oh, so you think ubuntu is, hrhr
Like most people like you that have no clue, without debian, ubuntu wouldn't exist, ubuntu is based on debian.
It's astonishing how many people don't know that
Now, go play with your antiviri, malware, spybot, rootkit, updaters and reboot a few dozen times in between updates and in the mean time, I will get some work done on my debian sid system.
http://distrowatch.com/index.p... 7 days or 6 months debian is #1
Windows people, can't live with them ..... We can live without them
lol, and your using m$ or apple, lions & tigers & bears oh my
android is the most used operating system in the world, with a linux kernel and the linux filesystem ext4
You sound like a Newbie that don't know how to use git
Are you Steve Ballmer
https://c.o0bg.com/rf/image_37...
Fragmentation ? You can blame this on ubuntu
How many distro's are based on ubuntu ?
97% of people that use ubuntu, don't even know that ubuntu is based on debian, *one of the oldest distro's out there.
Once ubuntu gets it's hands on the frozen 6 month snaphot of debian, it ubuntizes it and makes it not binary compatible with debian and releases it to the public and the public and tech writers go all lolly gaga
only 28%, i'll take it !!
windows 10 takes the rest of the 72%
lol, obviously fisted is a buntu fanboy, which is a dumbed down version of debian
"ubuntu" is swahili for "i can't configure debian"
That was your first mistake, using ubuntu period.
Actually, everyone and their/there/hair mother should say "fuck you" to Microsoft
Haven't they fucked enough in the past
Karma
As said by harryfoot
"hell you can't even update Linux without the wireless or sound being shit all over"
Sounds to me like you run ubuntu ... ouch
5 years lol, been running this server which is debian sid which gets updated 4 times a day for over 10 years
Me thinks your an incompetent moran who knows nothing of of linux
By the way , greed ( we don't care about share, profits, or you) is what you are all about.
How you making out now, asshole
all you care about is linux share, we don't,
Nice to see you here bfree . :)
aptitude and sid, ouch, your asking for a sysyem meltdown
Kanatix, sidux, aptosid, siduction, all based on sid, all of them don't recommend aptitude, and for good reason
Friends don't let friends install ubuntu !!
ubuntu is just a frozen snapshot of debian sid, ubuntizied so it's not compatible (binary) with debian anymore.
Ubuntu exists for profit and lazy people who don't want to set up "what they want in a desktop OS"
Pretty funny post IMHO
OUCH !
No, ubuntu sucks because it is nothing more than a six month snapshot of debian, ubuntized to make it binary non-compatible with debian goes against debian's DFSG (Debian Free Software Guidelines) http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines

Webkit is not GPL. There are pieces in LGPL, and the majority is a BSD license.
That means that changes to the library itself must be open source. However, the program using the library may be proprietary.
