Yep, my Dell charger has an easily disconnected connector a few inches from the barrel that plugs into the laptop. Yank the cord, and this connector parts, leaving the laptop on the desk when tripping on a cable.
That's not remotely simple. How do you propose to stop people from breeding?
A large portion of the population would go completely insane if we instituted reproductive limits.
When conservatives lose their shit completely over not being able to buy a jumbo cup of carbonated sugar-water or poison themselves with trans-fats, you know they're going to go totally bonkers if you tell them they can't have five kids. The more ignorant Americans even lost their minds over the first lady's eat-healthy initiative. Too many Americans are just too selfish and aggressively ignorant to ever do what's right, and I don't expect people anywhere else to be much better.
Not brave enough to make your stupid statement under your own name, eh? It's the person making the seemingly-insane claims of a sky-fairy who has the burden of proof. No religionists has ever been able to provide evidence for their god, or even the supernatural in general. This leads rational people to believe that the supernatural is entirely imaginary, and that people so foolish as to still believe in the supernatural are so deeply ignorant that they operate based on magical thinking.
It doesn't take a great mind to see right through religion, just an unwillingness to believe blatant absurdities when all the evidence tells us that gods have never made an appearance. We haven't even seen any advanced aliens that might be worshiped by primitive man as gods.
Question your childish belief in the supernatural, demand evidence from the people feeding you superstitious derp, and you'll soon realize that's you've been badly misled.
Popular is a strange way of putting it, but more and more people are wising up to the fact that the supernatural is imaginary every day. Of course Atheism is just one small part of discarding magical thinking.
The religious derp just seems worse because the people who can't grow out of their childish superstitions are getting more extreme in reaction to the rest of us realizing that it's all an absurd lie.
For me FedEx is a problem because they'll leave a sticker instead of the package even when someone is home. UPS always leaves it at the door. I've had hundreds of Amazon packages left at my door at apartments and a house. Not a single missing package. I don't think package theft is a problem unless you have thieves as neighbors.
Most people are extremely irrational and will do mental gymnastics to justify and preserve their beliefs. Apple fans are no worse than the rest of the human race.
Why did you reply "So True" to something deeply stupid said by an anonymous creationist nutjob?
"Evolutionist" makes about as much sense as "round-earthist." It's just derp from religious nuts who can't deal with reality. There is no scientific conspiracy to pretend that gods don't exist. It's just that zero gods have presented themselves, so we're pretty sure that they're imaginary just like the rest of the supernatural.
The article should mention that the concerned reviewer is an idiot. I'm so tired of the media pretending that "superstitious yahoo" is a point of view, and the truth lies half-way between our best understanding of the world and right-wing religious derp.
>We will need to figure out another way to distribute resources at some point, having a job won't be it forever.
The Republicans are going to push back hard against that idea. Having a society that doesn't keep wage costs low and concentrate wealth is considered evil in the right-wing bubble, and they're not going to change until they're the one's suffering.
We've seen the right-wing empathy deficit over and over again. They don't break from supporting toxic policies until their own families are harmed by the policy, and maybe not even then since they've merged evangelical Christianity and the conservative movement, leading them to believe that they're doing the work of a sky-fairy.
> To be a profitable miner nowadays you need several thousands worth of hardware.
Is that currently true? I'd think the recent jump in bitcoin price would have made GPU mining profitable again for a little while.
Is that still pointless due to all the expensive high-speed mining systems on the network these days?
I don't think there's an extra fee for the user to activate the BluRay, and yes, Sony does have to pay license fees just like everyone else. They're just one member of the BluRay Disc Association.
What do you think Sony gets when you activate BluRay? You seem paranoid, but I'm open to any info you have that would seem to justify your beliefs.
The PS4 has at least one game running at 900p vs 720p on the Xbox One. I assume that this will continue. It's a damn shame that neither console can output true 1080p on complex games like PCs can, but it really seems like the Xbox One is seriously inferior. I bought a 360 long before my PS3, but I'm pretty sure I'll be getting a PS4 long before I get an Xbox One.
There's no chance that Valve would sabotage HL3 sales like that. If they ever release it, it's guaranteed to be on Windows PC at the same time as the Steam Box.
Steam DRM caused me some minor trouble by locking me out of a game when a Steam server was down many years ago, but the rest of the time the DRM has benefited me by allowing re-downloads of any game, and playback from any machine I log into. Steam seems to be DRM done right.
Those weren't their target audience. The number of games bought for those consoles was zero, a big loss for Sony.
Being able to take advantage of a feature that was put in as a tax dodge, while buying no games at all does not make them Sony's market. In addition, Sony did nothing to alter these consoles, which weren't Internet connected, so I'm not sure what you're on about. If they contracted with Sony, and Sony violated that contract by no longer supplying new consoles with OtherOS, you may have a point, but I'm not aware of such a contract.
Rootkits had absolutely nothing to do with gaming or being online.
Is it also insensitive to mention that you're just not making any sense?
I was speaking of features taken away from the PS3. Lack of 3D BluRay is an annoyance to me since I could never get it working on my PC, and it works great on the PS3 with Sony's HMD. Of course with the lack of backward-compatibility, PS3s will be staying in service next to people's new PS4s.
Personally I'm waiting until I finish my current games before thinking about a new console. I'm just not excited about this console generation, which already has inferior graphics to a PC on release day.

How is still believing in a sky-fairy in 2013 not deeply ignorant? Does telling the truth really seem fanatical to your biased world-view?

It's really obvious that mi is one of the low-info dittoheads who wrecked the Republican party for anyone with an IQ above room temperature.

I hope that's just your perception, and your French friends are not the hate-fueled psychos that you see them as.
Well, that's one way to get rid of employees with anger-management problems.
You sound like a hate-radio gasbag.

Constantly calling people "faggot," and other early-teen behaviors. You don't want voice chat on when playing with strangers on Live.
