You beat me to it. If there was a highly visible bomb, the only people they'd be trying to target would be the police that would have to dispose of it. Either way, it wouldn't concern me.
Did you not see how Tale of Tales games went off on twitter shit talking every gamer because their game sold terribly? I mean, if they actually made a good game instead of a chore simulator with terrible writing and touting itself as a game with a powerful POC as the lead (why is someone with an engineering degree working as a fucking maid?), it could have sold. But no, they made a crap game, then started talking 9 miles of shit on the gaming community for not buying their crap game. $15 on Steam Sale too, what a fucking ripoff.
Pao doesn't even know how to send a private message on the site. She can barely use a computer at that. Of course she has no idea how reddit 'delivers' its product... or even what the product really is.
Their claim to internet fame. In the circle of people they hang out with and the people they would try to impress would be blown away with "Yeah, Im a mod on [INSERT LARGE SUBREDDIT HERE]". Its just a way to be one of the cool kids on the internet.
That would have been censorship, but that's not why the subreddit was closed. FPH was closed because its subscribers started spreading their hate into other subreddits and harassing other users via private messages. reddit was fine with FPH existing and being content with sharing their hate with each other, and they did for a long time. But recently they broke the rules, so they got their subreddit taken away.
Yeah, its a good thing that they apply the rules evenly and the shithole known as SRS has been banned.
On a slightly related note - The place I interned at when I was younger used mostly Lenovo laptops for their new inventory. I had a docking station port go back on a laptop, requiring a motherboard replacement. I called up Lenovo at 8AM and we got a tech out by 10:30 who did the motherboard swap in 15 minutes. Lenovo support contracts can be amazing. I was working in some small town outside of LA County by 30 minutes (far west side of LA County, not near what most consider to be LA), so not exactly in the city, but not far from it.
But, when they do break, someone who's on the clock has to run out to Sears or Harbor Freight and wait in line to get that replacement, and you're stuck explaining to the customer why their car isn't ready today.
So basically this situation would only happen if you worked in your own garage, as the sole employee, without a receptionist or someone that could run and get it for you? Also, the time to Harbor Freight and back if you were to leave yourself would be around the same time for the Snap-On guy to show up with a replacement. If that is seriously the only tool you needed to finish the job, you're SOL on lost time anyways.
Also, just as someone who does work on cars in his spare time in his own garage, I have such huge stash of tools with tons of duplicates. I've treated some of my Harbor Freight tools like complete shit and they still work. The last time I went to Harbor Freight, I had to buy something that would probably fall under specialty tool (Crow Foot for my stocket set). Snap On wants $30-45 for A SINGLE CROW FOOT ADAPTER. I bought a set of Metric and Standard from Harbor Freight for $20 total. For the price of a single Crow Foot from Snap On, I can buy two full sets from Harbor Freight. One breaks, I can bust out the other set.
With a new Mac, someone can pay a C-note and get a year's worth of handholding so they get some knowledge of how to do a task.
So instead of overpaying by $600+ on the hardware, you can now overpay by $700+ on it! With that $700, you can attend several community college classes on how to use a damn PC and talk to the teacher. I cant vouch for other schools, but our Intro to PCs teacher is also the guy who teaches the CCNA (he is CCNP certified), CompTIA Certs (Network+, Security+, Cloud+) and Win 7 and Server 2012 MCITP courses. So the guy is pretty well rounded in advance tech. Maybe my school is just weird like that.
Its probably due to something like that never happening to someone. Its never happened to me since I started using cellphones back in 2003. I tend to go through one a year.
When I was working at Bank of America, the average boot time for PCs was about 30 minutes, sometimes up to 60. When we switched to Win 7 from XP, the boot times went down to 1 minute or so. We got complaints from people that they couldn't do their morning routines (Turn on PC, then leave for Starbucks for an hour and charge the time to the bank).

We can't afford it, but lots of companies get rich from it.
As a police friend once told me "If they have to ask, they know they have no legal right to search"

You mean Cisco Certified Network Associate.
*Grabs Popcorn* It seems Feminist Friday and SJW Saturday came early this week.
Tale of Tales is the company. The game they released was Sunsent.
The real question would be if they won the lawsuit and got judgment for Pao to pay for lawyer fees, would she even be able to pay?
I don't see how anything was even related to anti-SJWs stuff in that post... let alone GamerGate.

This the same Ted from Dilbert that serves no other purpose than to be killed or fired?
We're talking about Ellen "You'll have to pry this [CEO] position from my cold, dead hands" Pao here. That isn't going to happen.
Everything on Ars has gone to complete shit. I've been avoiding the site for the past 2 years now.

Cant be worse than the Kenwood TrueX DVD-ROM drives. Those things were fast as hell, but notorious for dying.
But there are so many games to play on Mac!
It may as well be. Its just a glorified blog.
Please, explain, how a "racist cop" manage to distinguish between Black immigrant and Black native born.
Accent, mannerisms, etc.

unless you are brave enough deal with the world of game cracks.
You don't have to be brave, just smart. Takes only 30 seconds to skim through the comments to figure out if its a bad torrent or not.
