Hey, they aren't putting mega out of business. Mega can still accept cash, money orders, bitcrap, and chickens in payment. They can even start their own PayPal competitor if they want.
Not the same thing. You're engaging in stereotyping, nowadays called profiling. There is no reason to believe that every black who walks into your shop is carrying a gun. However, there is every reason to believe that someone who walks into a restaurant with bare feet is at risk of cutting their foot should a glass get dropped.
Well, their methodology was crap to begin with. There's no weighing of each song based on sales, airplay, etc. And with the volume of crap hip-hip and rap out there from every self-proclaimed "gangsta", it was inevitable that the study would be biased towards the most produced, not the most popular.
For those who don't quite follow, say you have 10 rock songs you really like, and 20 rap songs that you listened once and were tempted to delete. According to their methodology, you prefer rap because you've got twice as much of it.
Same garbage wrt their comments about the British Invasion's effect on music.
So what would you say if a ball of ice the size of earth were discovered in a normal orbit? Planet? What if it were close enough to the sun to generate an atmosphere, if not a tail. Technically speaking, earth is slowly bleeding atmosphere, which would show up as a tail with sensitive enough instruments.
A moon is a co-orbiting object with the barycenter of rotation inside the larger object
So the moon will suddenly become a planet in it's own right when it recedes far enough from earth... - except that then earth has NOT cleared its orbit of major objects within its orbit, so it is no longer a regular planet, and neither is the moon.
Nobody is stopping people in the US from doing business with mega. Send an international money order. People do it all the time. And if you trust them so much, you can always send cash.
If you don't have an active merchant account with a cc processor, the customer can whine all they want - the bank will not follow the customer's order to send money to the merchant. In this case, Visa, Mastercharge, and PayPal have all cancelled mega's account.
Personally, I have no sympathy for mega. This just goes to show how risky it is to store your stuff "in the cloud."
If someone walks into a store that has a sign saying "No bare feet", they're not going to get served. Same if they are publicly known to have a contagious disease (like Ebola). Someone drops a glass and the guy in bare feet cuts his foot, who's gonna pay? Mega gets seized, who's going to pay for the charge-backs?
Ignoring alll the test bombs is ridiculous. We're still dealing with the fallout from all those open-air bomb tests. Plutonium tends to stick around for a long time.
I was not posting about the color of the real / original dress, and I made that clear. The color of the pixels in the picture is something that is easy to determine. They are blue/dark grey. That people might perceive them as something else doesn't take away from the color value of each individual pixel.
If snow looks a little blue son-screen, you should try adjusting the color temperature of your screen.
Load it in the gimp, increase the brightness (a lot) and the contrast (again, a lot). Without that, the color picker says blue and brown/grey. What color is the dress? Who knows. What color is the dress as shown in the picture? Blue/brown/grey.
That being said, if you look at the one place in the picture that doesn't appear to suffer as much from color imbalance / over-exposure (the item of clothing hanging on the back of the chair, on the left side at about waist height), It's a cow pattern print.
Doesn't happen to me. It's always blue-purple and a muddy black. Even directly in front of a 26" screen centered at eye level. And even after blocking off the obviously over-exposed background. That's what you get when to take a picture with a crap camera in lousy lighting - something ambiguous.
I doubt it's anywhere near $35 per PC. That would require almost every new PC owner to buy the full version of at least 1 bloatware to make it break even. More like $2 - $5 per unit.
whatever happened to the time when code stood on its own with the ONLY dependency being an interpreter?
Or am I just that OLD??
Whatever happened to the time when code stood on its own with the ONLY dependency being the underlying CPU and OS? And yes, we're both getting old(er) - but that's better than the alternative.

Maybe the ones who see the dress white and gold are the same ones who's optic responses have been damaged by too much J. J. Abrams lens flare.

"If someone barefoot walks into a store that has a sign saying 'No bare feet' "
It's a safety and liability issue, same as you can't go onto an active construction site without a hard hat and security boots.

It's about avoiding unnecessary risk.
Banks and PayPal don't want to do business with the company. Kim Dotcom is NOT the company. So whether Kim Dotcom is guilty or not is a side issue.
The banks and paypal are NOT picking the people they do business with. They are choosing not to do business with another business.
There is no reason what so ever that any government should get involved in peoples personal financial decisions
Last I heard, mega was a business. The banks terminated their business dealings with mega.
The global population hasn't declined - the rate of global population growth has declined from 2.2% in 1963 to 1.1% per year.

It's not only for developers. Last I looked dev also referred to devices.

Some people do - it's made by Apple.

It's a crime how many people smoking kills.

Can I get a body with a big penis? Something like what this guy has would be great thanks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
No problem - thank you for volunteering to be the first human to have your head transplanted onto a dolphin.
