Depending on context, more precise terms could be any of the following:
No, no, no. "Pregnant" is an absolute term, like "dead" or "unique" or "zero". There's no "half pregnant", or "almost unique" or "half zero".
(Yes, people use the term "half dead", and it indicates imprecise thought. People also say shit like "really unique", and that's also ignorance at play.)
Uber is a criminal organization, as has been shown time and time again by their premeditated illegal actions. They get caught and do the "Aw shucks oopsie ya got us" routine, pay a fine, and then go on to do it again.
"What if You Never Saw Your Colleagues in Person Again?"
I'd be okay with that.
I like going into the office once in a while, but I'd be fine working 100% from home. Right now it's about 50~60%, but not having to make the drive a those few days a week when I do go in would be great.
I did the math...that's 7,172 pain pills per person, if every single resident was gobbling them down at ~20 pills a day.
But there's nothing to see here, no siree, just move along. And whatever you do, don't say anything bad about the Sackler family, who almost single-handedly created this problem by deceptively marketing these opioids as being safe and manageable.
You mean something with ordered choices,? Great idea...we could call it a "menu" and make it look like the sensible and useful drop-down lists of choices that all UIs had until the crack-ass designers started fucking everything up with "discoverable" interfaces.
Welcome to Reinventing The Wheel part 78, where designers finally pull their heads out of their asses and go back to doing what worked for decades! Whoo hoo!
Both parties suck at many things, but the democrats have always treated state's rights more seriously than republicans, who only pay attention to it when it hampers their business interests.
Too funny. Republicans are staunch defenders of "state's rights" right up until they interfere with any corporate interests they're beholden to that might have their profits threatened.
The thing is, the Feds took away federal-level regulation and oversight, in effect giving it back to the states. There is nothing that says states can't make certain rules about how they do business, and with whom. They do it all the time and it's entirely reasonable for them to do so (e.g. to make sure they're meeting certain standards, hiring practices, sourcing, etc).
And the ISPs can't object- no ISP is forced to do contractual (i.e, profit making) business with any state. If they don't like the state's rules they're free to market their services elsewhere.
There is absolutely no reason why Apple, and every other mobile device can't do this. But it doesn't fall within their planned obsolescence marketing strategy.
Exactly. I use an old Galaxy S5 and replacing the battery takes about a minute and costs ~$25 or so. What's not to like about that?
Or they could have made it an on/off setting, but they know the Faithful(c) will STILL buy their overpriced shit no matter what. After all, you're nobody if you don't have the latest iPhone!
Slashdot Mirror
The amazing thing to me is that anyone is willing to spend $35 a month on Youtube.
The moment Youtube forces me to pay for anything, that's the moment I stop using Youtube.
It's 98% trash anyway, it's not like I'll lay awake in bed losing sleep over anything Youtube does or doesn't do.
It's the tragedy of success...as soon as something becomes popular it starts to go downhill and gradually turns to shit. Sometimes not so gradually.
"Facebook Is Spamming Users..."
That's all I needed to read, everything beyond that is just detail.
Of course Facebook Is spamming you, THAT'S WHAT THEY DO.
Why bother even repairing them? Apple will do just as well to throw them in the shredder and ship you another one.
Exactly. And I wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly what they do.
I cut out the middleman by going to the Apple store and throwing one directly into the trash bin.
There is no half pregnant.

When old-timers talk, ROM means ROM. If we meant EEPROM, we would have said EEPROM.
Exactly.

Like, I know!
I was SO upset when they stopped selling wax cylinders for my Gramaphone, now it's CDs!

Twitter is the confetti of the internet.
Okay, let's have a show of hands- who didn't see this coming?
Anytime anyone claims something is "anonymous" or "untrackable", bet on them being wrong.
There's nothing that's truly "anonymous" or "untrackable" and yet people keep falling for these absurd claims.
Donald Trump is salivating SO HARD right now as he wets his panties, dreaming of being able to purge the country like Stalin or Erdoan.
Expect the next presidential briefing to cover "pixels" and how to track them.

Do Particles Have Consciousness?
NO.
Hell, there are people walking around who don't even have consciousness.
Both parties are the same way.
That statement is simply not true.
Both parties suck at many things, but the democrats have always treated state's rights more seriously than republicans, who only pay attention to it when it hampers their business interests.
would u buy a phone from china?
Because practically no one else on the planet makes them?
Sorry to tell you this but slaves did not build the pyramids!
Uhhhh, I'm pretty sure they did. The rulers of that society wrote volumes about it; it's a well-documented historical fact.
So, a corporation is stealing people's data, personal info.
Boy am I shocked. Soooo shocked. Really- just look at my shocked face. See how shocked I am? Shocked, shocked, shocked.
So....we should destroy the village in order to save it? Where have I heard that before?

And suddenly, legislation will appear that will extend the Public Domain timeout period by another 20 or 50 years.
Watch and see if this doesn't happen before the end of the year.
Yep, it's heinous. I thought it was a joke when I first saw it.
But the real question is, what sort of pretentious, self-absorbed dickhead will buy this dreadful fucking clothing?
