No, there's nothing they won't do in pursuit of a dollar or to curry favor with corporations.
Why are Republicans so hateful? This is a blatant slap in the face to every person that uses the internet, and yet they were all salivating to get this passed. Their constituent are supposed to be the ones who hate the gubmint and all of its surveillance tools, but did any of them object to this? Not that I heard.
It sounded like you were taking one of their absolute positions based on their confusion about what freedom means.
I probably should have been more clear. Sometimes it's hard to express things unambiguously and dashing off a reply like I did is fraught with the chance for lots of possible interpretations
For the record, I am not and never will be a libertarian. The whole libertarian idea is embarrassingly silly and unworkable. It fails on so many levels that I could write a 5-volume set on it.
The problem most libertarians have is they never think that they'll be the ones getting fucked over by their wet dream of little or no regulation.
It's never their wife or their child who'll die from some untested medication or contaminated food or an unsafe electrical appliance. They always think that it'll always be the other guy whose wife or kid dies, and then the Magical Invisible Hand Of The Market will punish that company and force them out of business, so they'll be safe.
Everyone, because every little fart that Microsoft releases on the market seems to have long repercussions in the industry.
Not really. After a long string of failures they've lost the power to rock the industry like they once did.
The Zune didn't and neither did the Windows phone. Microsoft Kin sank without a trace. Microsoft Bob never went beyond the "look-at-this-stupid-shit" stage. Windows Mobile - scooped up 0.7% of the market. AWESOME. Windows RT- It died so quietly no one knew it was ever alive. The Nokia acquisition: it did nothing but waste billions and cost thousands of jobs.
I'm afraid I suspect you [4145623] of being another libertarian confused about what freedom actually means.
Lol, I'm about as far from libertarian as you can get. The whole idea of libertarianism is idiotic and unworkable, and I've said so many, many times here.
"Is Microsoft Building A Foldable 'Surface' Phone?"
Who gives a shit what Microsoft is dabbling in this month?
If they ever manage to launch it and it fails to penetrate the market like their last 50 attempts at a phone, they'll discontinue it, fire the teams, and move on to the next clusterfuck.
Besides, Samsung is already demoing some foldable phones that look quite interesting. If I was going to bet on Microsoft or Samsung in the phone market, I'd bet on Samsung every time. People actually use their phones.
I agree with what you said, but that doesn't invalidate my point at all.
Of course we should value places and institutions that uphold free speech, but the fact is that a private business has no obligation to do so. If they want to be authoritarian corporatists, that's their right. I disagree with it, but I doubt they'd care what I think.
LOL! Awww, you poor snowflake, did I squash your delicate little ego? Does this mean we aren't BFFs anymore? lol

I believe that is more likely than you have some anonymous band of followers digging this deep in to a thread.
Riiiiiiiiight, it couldn't be that there are other people here actually disagree with your bullshit, so OF COURSE I have a dedicated, shadowy band of followers who side with me against all comers....
-
Look you clearly have some kind of mental issue. I'm just going to move on now. You can sit here and stew if you want too. Take care.
Yeah, my "mental issue" is that I've put forth arguments for which you have absolutely no substantive response.
Thanks for playing, better luck next time. And ask your doctor if anti-paranoia medication is right for you.
No, you where just wrong and you can't admit it. Your attempts to pass it off as sarcasm just made you look more foolish.
Do you actually believe that I didn't know Obama got a second term? Really? If so, you're far more foolish than I gave you credit for.

As for alternative facts, you seem to have posted a number of facts here.
[citation needed] What alternative facts have I posted? Name 'em or admit you're lying. Oh, and while you're at it, please feel free to refute anything I've said so far.

Hell, there are people that believe the Earth is flat.
Trump's personal knowledge of computers is probably similar to his contemporaries
Maybe, but this is a guy who brags about not using email, nor knowing how to do so. Not exactly a ringing endorsement if you ask me.
As for the whole "cyber" thing, I doubt Trump is so sophisticated as to mimic the way intelligence professionals use the term. He sounds as though he really, truly has no fucking clue. Maybe to him "the cyber" is a box on his desk with some blinking lights. He doesn't use the term in context the way you'd expect a knowledgeable person to- he sounds too uncertain and contrived.
But then, he does "know more than all the generals" (all of them!) so I might be wrong. Maybe he's really a super-genius techno-wizard trying to talk down to our level. (Lol, I made myself laugh typing that last bit.)
while the left has Sharia apologizers leading women's marchers and thugs trying to shut down free speech
Bullshit.
Sure, there are whackos of every stripe and type getting their 2 minutes of fame and air time, but 99.99999 percent of the left is NOT supporting sharia in any way, shape, or form. If you really believe they are, stop watching FOX News for a few minutes and let your head clear.
The vast, vast majority of liberals DO NOT support any sharia stuff, period. Stop making boogeymen where there are none.
No, that is just you being wrong, period. An just like so many others of your mind set when you find someone who won't be beaten in to submission you resort to personal attacks.
So Obama did get a 2nd term? Woah, who knew? Next thing you'll tell me "healthcare is complicated".
Or is it that you're denying that the Republicans opposed every single thing Obama did while in office?
Their obstructionism was so bad they're still blaming him for making poor innocent Donald fail...like the whole ridiculous "deep state" thing.
Remember Romneycare? Everyone in Massachusetts loved it, and it was a Republican idea...but when it was tweaked and presented nationwide as "Obamacare", suddenly it was the work of the devil and would destroy America.
Sure, King Don isn't failing at everything he does because he sucks, he's failing because Obama is undercutting him from his secret Martian Moonbase on Jupiter.
Obama was also behind the Pizzagate thing, plus he sank the Titanic and caused the Polio Epidemic. He even made us lose the war of 1812! THANKS OBAMA
But umm, yeah, the Republicans didn't oppose Obama on anything, ever. They worked with him on everything, right?
Sorry, dude, your alternative facts won't fly here.
Donald Trump: "The security aspect of cyber is very, very tough. And maybe, it's hardly doable. But I will say, we are not doing the job we should be doing. But that’s true throughout our whole governmental society. We have so many things that we have to do better. And certainly cyber is one of them."
Yeah, we gotta do better at "cyber", whatever that is. Has this fucking idiot ever even seen a computer?
Seriously, Trump has the speech patterns of a classic sociopath- the fractured, awkward grammar, the inability to finish most of his sentences, the veering off to side topics and never returning to the original subject, the hazy references to things he clearly has no idea about...and on and on and on. He pretends to know stuff when it's painfully obvious that he's ignorant of the subject, kind of like a kid giving a book report on a book he hasn't read.
"War and Peace was about some war, and then the people wanted peace so they went to war to get the peace and there was a lot of stuff and things that happened. I highly recommend this book. In conclusion, we have to do better at cyber! The End."
It's the leftist mainstream media that lumps together Islamic terrorists with "far-right" groups, yet never talk about "far-left" groups.
That's because those two groups have similar goals and use similar methods in pursuit of the "pure" society of like-minded psychopaths that they masturbate furiously to in the privacy of their basements.
Or are Dylan Roof and Timothy McVeigh just a couple of courageous "freedom fighters" in your twisted little world? They're cut from the EXACT same cloth as the Islamic nutjob who blows up a marketplace full of innocent civilians.

Is there anything they won't rape for money?
No, there's nothing they won't do in pursuit of a dollar or to curry favor with corporations.

But you know the Govt will crush you nonetheless.
They will take all power and wealth from you.
They are already doing it.
You need to get rid of them.
Yes....get rid of the government. That will surely calm things down and make everything run smoothly. *cough*
...the FBI's facial recognition database is out of control, noting that "no federal law controls this technology" and "no court decision limits it."
And that's just the way they like it, with no pesky "rules" or "laws" to hamper their activities.
It sounded like you were taking one of their absolute positions based on their confusion about what freedom means.

No, I wouldn't even try to begin to explain anything found on the pages of Breitbart.

The left is filled with useful idiots.
And so is the right, my friend. Neither has a corner on idiocy.

I quite often fly SAS to and from Stockholm, myself.

Removing racist opinions is a violation of the first amendment.
You fail.
The First Amendment applies to the government restricting or suppressing free speech.
A private entity like Google/Youtube has no such obligation whatsoever. They're free to disallow comments or content for whatever reason(s) they want.
Get a copy of the constitution and read it. Or have someone read it to you, you dipshit.
If this could run Win 7/8 apps, I'd be very, very interested.
I'm hoping they've not included a buttload of telemetry crap, but maybe that's too much to hope for.
Either way, another viable alternative to Windows would be a good thing for everyone (except Microsoft, but screw them).
I took it as sarcasm to your incorrect assessment.
Exactly. I think it's clear that "jwhyche" isn't the sharpest bulb in the race.
