    It's more of a psych experiment than a reference, a much more valuable as such.

    How do well meaning humans behave given absolute power over the least significant of things? Exhibit W.

    Didn't read the book, eh? Nor read countless comments about not having read the book? It shows.

    A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

  3. "one of the best UIs" - my favorite annoyance.

    It is among the top 100% of interfaces available, ever. Even far into the future.

    It's not a lie, it just means literally nothing. I frequently use it to backhandedly compliment someone's fave band or food.

    "One of the better UIs" would mean it is better than at least one, so I use that instead.

  4. Most CEOs worth any money preside over numerous sites, in various states. And frequently international.

    And if you work onsite with the CEO, good luck seeing them anywhere other than a telecast.

    I don't see a difference now, and their millions would be worth much more in a currency disadvantaged country. And watch the cost savings roll in as the bench players step up and replace the overvalued kids.

    In my experience, your experience is unheard of, and obviously fabricated by some anti mobile astroturfing org. I count down and at 1 I hit the place where the skip button should be.

    And, my phone is old. It sucks donkey asses. It is 3G. It literally blows goats for free instead of charging like a smart whore. My phone and my network eat pieces of shit for breakfast.

    And I can't remotely believe your experience, nor the morons who modded you up. You and 5 other sock puppets have problems, man. Or maybe the word I'm looking for is "nonrepresentative".

  7. Re:Say no to dolts on MPAA Wants ISPs to Disconnect Persistent Pirates (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    You dolt. Piracy has referred to copyright infringement for hundreds of years. The GNU philosophy statement is disingenuous in that sense, and cannot support a factual argument. Semantic, sure, but not factual.

    The case you linked to has a footnote clarifying what a pirated work is, and how that differs from bootlegs.

    Take your links, add a dictionary, and your support actually does not support you.

  8. I'm not intentionally sounding dense here, but I don't know how to find these scientists you claim are out there. Every website result is a raving lunatic armed with tiny shards of data. And your lack of specifics really just fits in with the lunatics.

    You know that Trump guy who gets made fun of for talking insistently without details nor backup? Lunatic.

  9. You found 9 quotes from among the 0 to 10% who disagree. That took a bit of searching, but in the context of a meta study means between nothing and negative infinity.

    And yet two idiots modded you up. For what, illustrating that a sub unanimous consensus has some people who disagree?

    Explain?

  10. Re:You can misinterpret statistical data here on About 40,000 Unionized Verizon Workers Walk Off the Job (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Wireless is not involved. The people who are striking are the ones who physically connect stuff with wires, which is the opposite of wireless.

    Verizon's wired business is shrinking because of people going wireless. The people who connect wires are suffering because people are going wireless.

    Is there still a number of wires left to be connected? Sure, because wireless isn't completely wireless. But it's a lot less demand for the skills of connecting wires compared to pre-wireless days.

    You mentioned Verizon Wireless as if it were a separate company. And it is a separate issue, since these are customer support jobs that could be done from the moon for all it matters.

    If you take the losses or slowdowns on wired business, and consider that wireless offsets those declines, then wireless is a money printing business for Verizon. I think your message is better off focusing on these sorts of points, not global all-business-lines profit. And you'll make a far stronger argument. I'm actually a little bit on the other side of the argument now. Like 98% with you instead of 99%.

  11. It's not like they are going to spend something ridiculous like $100 million trying to get smart people to figure any of this out. I mean, if a random dashslot poster doesn't have all of the answers up front, in tfs, idiots like Hawking don't stand a chance to discover anything new in a decade that might benefit this type of mission. All of the questions have been answered, because we know the current state of the art, and that won't change in the next 10 years. /extreme sarcasm in support of people who respond to ignoramuses

  12. Re:Shows the limits of freedom on PayPal Pulls North Carolina Plan After Transgender Bathroom Law (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    The majority of everywhere still has segregated bathrooms, buy you wonder why people statistically marginalize the issue? How about because you have no grasp on the numbers, and your experience is abnormal. Normal for where you worked, but not normal mostly everywhere. I agree with the very generalist direction of your post, but you come from a way not average perspective.

    You tried on the numbers, but support yourself with "Somehow it seems likely" and unrelated facts. I still don't know how many trans people have an issue with this, which seems important if you object to people not using the right numbers. Some may just avoid the issue by going before they leave the house, like many non trans people with phobias or other issues do.

    Buck up your arguments here, kiddo.

    It is a response to a flood of the same questions from multiple sources. It basically reads as "we will help if we can, as we always have, so stop bothering us."

    It is definitely not a declaration that they can and will break into any and all phones.

    Well, no. I would have requested proof or evidence, or something that could have been checked.

    There are no win scenarios, but this was probably the best option. Turn center to left voters away from the right.
