    "But this proves to me that the entire point of Windows 10 was not to ease computer usage or make it easier for me to get my work done or do more work but to turn all windows machines into store fronts for Microsoft."

    It took THIS LONG for you to figure that out?

    The rest of us recognized it before M$ even released it....

  7. Phil Ivey is a "big name" in poker, they didn't expect him to sulley his rep and get himself branded as a cheater by using marked cards...and they were cards produced for use in a casino...

  8. Exactly. The reels don't determine if you win, the RNG does. The microsecond you pull the level/hit the spin button the RNG feeds the machine a random number, that number is compared in the CPU to the list of winning numbers, then that result is processed to show the appropriate winning/non-winning result on the reels. A losing spin that "looks so close" is the same as losing spin that looks nowhere near close. That's just a perception issue.

  9. Detroit casinos are exempt from MI's no smoking in business law, so they stink to high %PLANEOFHIGHEREXISTENCE ....

  10. The casinos don;t need to cheat to come out ahead.

    Phil Ivey on the other hand....

    Yep, that's the point. And as more people "cut the cord" (well sort of), what do you bet happens to the cost of an internet connection from the cable company, sans a TV package? They already charge a ton for internet without TV and/or phone, then add what you mentioned, data limits and overage charges.... The cable companies will still get customers anyway, even if it's just for the ISP side, and they'll make up the loss of TV service subscribers there...

    You still need an ISP to provide the internet connection so you can stream...

  22. That too ;)

  23. should be "help and/or can't"

  24. "I'll pray for you" is the same as saying "I want to look like I care, but I don't care enough to actually do anything useful to help and can't admit there's nothing I can do"

  25. "get people to fall onto their knees, pray and essentially do nothing useful."

    Redundant
