Sure, the quality is not going to match what you make in your French press at home, but it's going to be on average better quality than your average fast food place like McDonalds or Burger King.
Burger King coffee is actually quite good IF you can get it within 20 minutes of being made. The problem with BK coffee is not that it's bad, it's that it's usually stale because it'll sit there for 3+ hours on the warmer before Joe Highschooler bothers to make new stuff.
So you stopped gaming because you had shit buying decisions?
Um, no. My decision had nothing to do with me being able to afford the cost of the game. Free time is finite and the microtransactions, loot bins, etc. were just the final straw that pushed me away from gaming and into other hobbies. Hobbies without tons of hidden costs associated with them.
Did I miss some good games? Certainly. Do I miss wasting time trying to figure out which games aren't attempting to rob me blind every time I play them? Not at all.
It used to be that you spend your $50'ish on the game and then you got to play it. Now you get a purposely crippled version of the game unless you want to shell out more and more money each-and-every-time you play it. No thanks.
I would agree with you on this except that somebody decided that the Function and Ctrl keys on ThinkPads should be opposite of every other Windows keyboard on the planet. That's a non-starter for me.
This story misses a huge point - what people are doing that 70% of the time on the "mobile internet." Just because hopelessly addicted phone addicts spend 12 hours a day on social media and netflix doesn't mean that this has somehow supplanted the "regular internet." Things that aren't a waste of time are generally done in front of a real screen on a real computer, which is why, even if it's just 30% of the time, the important stuff is still being done on a fully-functional website. Thus, websites designed for computer monitors won't be going away any time in the next 10 years.
That just shows how incredibly egotistic she and her campaign people are. To just assume you're going to win multiple states without even bothering to campaign in them one single time is the height of arrogance. One of many reasons she lost in the first place.
Hear me out on this. The practice described in the patent is total garbage and a very bad thing. However, the patent itself is excellent. If Activision owns the patent on this, then other game makers would have to pay to do the same thing, thus making them less likely to do it, thus making it less likely for us to see the practice used in actual games.
They should've just let themselves get hacked and had all their customer's information stolen. Then the IRS would've probably given them a multi-million dollar contract!
LOL! Come on now. If I were Donald Trump my response would've been, "President Trump is helping Puerto Rico, and it's the biggest most greatest help ever given!!! Crooked Hilary wouldn't have helped as bigly as this!! Make Puerto Rico great again!"
...winning the Powerball is more likely to happen than getting assistance from the Trump Administration.
Except that, ya know, the Trump administration IS helping Puerto Rico, albeit it slowly at first. I don't like Trump either but you can't just make stuff up. I believe Mr. Trump himself even coined a two-word term for this kind of bullshit.
Why is this modded troll? Why not post proof that the Christian religion did not burn books instead of putting your head in the sand?
Why not stop being a douchebag and realize that just because Christians did, at times, burn books, that is not the de-facto standard of Christianity? Sounds like you're the one with your head in the sand and it's really a shame that tiny-brained cowards like you are allowed to post anonymously here.
Yeah, because the theater provides the seating, the theater provides the big screen, the theater provides the projector, the theater provides the air condition, etc. etc. With this plan, YOU provide all those things and, unless you're very very rich, I'm guessing you don't have a 60 ft screen and $100k+ of AV equipment in your basement.
You are correct, people wanted mature and calm, that's why they voted Trump
Not necessarily, but I do know a good amount of people who were so disgusted by HRC and her supporters' my-crap-doesn't-stink attitudes that they decided to vote third party instead of their usual democrat vote.
I see you've been spending a lot of time in your safe space echo chamber, eh Maritz? Antifa, regardless of their name is using fascist tactics to accomplish their goals. What exactly would you call that? These white nationalist people are probably all a bunch of scumbags. That doesn't mean you get to show up at their events and hit them with bike locks.
This is more of this black is white, up is down bollocks Trump supporting dickheads never stop coming out with. Eventually, even idiots will be sick of your shit.
Modern liberalism, ladies and gentlemen. More anger and childish name calling from the "tolerant" left. People like you are why HRC lost the election.
I sure am glad there are so many people out there that are willing to spend $700+ on a phone. That way I can get a phone that can do 80% of what the "flagship" phones can do for 1/5 the price.
Hey wickerprints, do you talk like the Matrix's Architect character in real life or do you just use big words unnecessarily in the online world to make yourself appear smart? Your multiple logical fallacies and incorrect statements would definitely point to the contrary.
Yeah. Good luck finding another adult who would label you a parent for replacing your obligation with a fucking app
Wow, you're an idiot and a true coward for insulting me as a parent without logging in. Am I supposed to go to school with them and follow them around 24/7? Moron.

Quit posting this stupid shit on Slashdot!
False. Please keep posting hilarious nerd-related stuff like this on Slashdot.

Did you copy/paste this from HuffPost? Vox, maybe? Actually, now that I think about, I feel like I heard this on American Horror Story.

What's that you say? Spend $1000 on a phone based purely on a name with basically no real reviews to go on? Sure!!! -SMH

This sounds like a godsend for some of those super lazy parents out there. To me it just sounds kinda creepy.
Donald, go away.

I'd mod this '-1 completely ignores facts' if I could. Just because you hate Trump doesn't mean you get to make up whatever you want about him. Yeesh.
Yeah, because the theater provides the seating, the theater provides the big screen, the theater provides the projector, the theater provides the air condition, etc. etc. With this plan, YOU provide all those things and, unless you're very very rich, I'm guessing you don't have a 60 ft screen and $100k+ of AV equipment in your basement.
The cost of this is ludicrous. It makes me wonder if they're hoping this will fail hard so they can blame piracy or something silly like that.

Anti-fascists are fascists. OK.

These are the opinions of a single person, not Google itself. They shouldn't have to deal with fallout because he's got dumb opinions.
I sure am glad there are so many people out there that are willing to spend $700+ on a phone. That way I can get a phone that can do 80% of what the "flagship" phones can do for 1/5 the price.
It was pretty obvious that the company bit off way more than it could chew. They did make pretty nice phones though.
