You don’t have a right to my time or attention unless we have an established social or business relationship.
I have a pretty good multi-layer spam filtering system. That takes care of 90% of the incoming mail. It takes a few moments to highlight and permanently delete most of the rest a few times a day.
That leaves a handful for me to actually read and sometimes reply.
Damn, perhaps I am organized.
We have to obsolesce current product on regular basis. New product means a whole new sales cycle. If sales were restricted to replacement of worn out or damaged items sales would be a fraction of what they are now. We can’t have that. Investors won’t stand for it.
I did and my response probably should have indicated that. I didn't mean you in particular. But I often read snide comments here against elderly, and those young pricks can get the fuck off my lawn.:)
I'm about two years away from my first check. If you take away my voting rights, you'll probably need to confiscated my guns first.
Of course you read where I said that I was just kidding and that my first check isn't far off either, right?
Still, there are a few that think we should take the vote away from anyone collecting any sort of welfare check. We still take voting rights away from convicted felons in many cases. IIRC, the founding fathers were pretty much OK limiting the vote to white, male property owners only.
Seem to be just fine with multi-billion corporations saving a few million a year in labor costs so as to line management and investor pockets with just that little bit more. Government can to pick up the tab in increased welfare costs. Oops, after tax cuts to the wealthy we handed out last year, we just can't seem to afford to fully fund social services this year.
Rather than submit to all these authoritarian governments, perhaps Facebook, Google, et al should just pull the plug on said country. Perhaps some business is lost for a while but should profit trump ethics every single time. Someone has to stand up to the dictators and repressive regimes.
Graphic Cards were in short supply because of crypto-coin mining. They just couldn't make enough cards to keep prices from zooming up. A bit after that it was RAM. Oh, all the fabs switched to NAND flash, so no RAM for you and it's going to cost. Now Intel hasn't enough 14nm capacity to keep up with processor demand?
Quoting Wired Magazine:
"Mac OS X, in turn, gave rise to the mobile iOS. Both Apple operating systems still include code files tagged with the NeXt name – and both are directly descended from a version of UNIX called the Berkeley System Distribution, or BSD, created at the University of California, Berkeley in 1977"
BSD isn't quite dead yet. It lives on in 2 Billion iOS devices and the odd iMac or MacBook.
Type your info into the computer machine and consider it posted to the world. Dispel any notions that there is any such thing as privacy or security online.
"Software doesn't work like this. Microsoft might spend a lot of money to develop the first unit of a new program, but every unit after that is virtually free to produce."
While that is true, there is a significant cost to supporting customers, the more customers, the higher the cost. Well, if you actually provide support, that is.

I'm on break just now!
Let's all applaud ourselves for feeding and dressing ourselves too, this is important.
Let me also applaud myself for generally refraining from speaking rudely to strangers from an anonymous account.

Nearly all terms of service are designed to obfuscate the fact that you are being royally screwed. How is this news?

No problem.

This is an easy one to solve.
Dear Facebook, Cut down on fake news. Turn off sharing for the elderly.

Better still, suspend voting rights once the first Social Security check arrives.
Completely kidding here. My first check will be arriving soon.
Here's an idea, maybe if you don't want a bunch of gay men showing up for sex you shouldn't sign up for a gay sex solicitation network.
Silly AC, the plaintiff states that his ex signed up for the accounts fraudulently. Here's an idea, read the article before posting.

All market manipulation. All of it.
Obviously, I don't know what our security agencies get up to.but it seems that we have a cyber-war going on that is being fought by only one side.
The latest and greatest Samsung panels use a different pattern: https://fscl01.fonpit.de/userf...
It is standard for all OLED displays though, so yeah this lawsuit doesn't have much merit.
The new XS Max uses the very same DiamondTile type OLED panel as it is a Samsung display: http://www.displaymate.com/Dia...
... So you/re wrong.
Before reading your post, I thought I had seen all possible misspellings of your/you're/etc., but I was indeed wrong :)
If you can’t argue the merits then argue the typos.
i think you'd better look up the meaning of the word 'chivalry'.
Considering the accusations against the president, judge Kavanaugh, numerous CEOs, etc. these days, chivalry really is at issue these days.

I don't have this problem playing my CDs. I put them in my player, any player, and they play.
No matter where I go, they work.
Must be this new fangled technology we hear is supposed to make our lives easier that is causing the issue.
Play your Region 1 DVD movie disc in a player in say, Japan. What’t you say it doesn’t play?
See Microsoft “Plays for Sure, “Zune” and most recently “Groove Music”.

So many conveniently forget the Steele dossier was initially funded by a Republican opponent of Trump’s.
There are a couple of dozen chip foundries in the U.S. at least. Intel has several in Oregon and Arizona as far as I know.
So now Intel processors can be back doored directly from the nearest WiFi hot-spot. What could go wrong with that?

Customers get the shaft regularly after all.
