    Try any cab company. All much worse.

    At least Uber brings value to the customer. Like actually showing up on time.

    You're a complete imbecile if you actually think that.

    What Oculus is doing is not the entirety of VR. HTC Vive is far superior technologically and in the overall user experience.

    I like what they're doing a lot. Fuck Palmer Lucky and fuck Oculus.

  5. Being detained for an indefinite period is more than a mere "inconvenience".

    That said, as I would do with any law enforcement encounter, I would "comply" and then file suit when I was safely at home.

    Not every story on every site is going to apply to me. I learned to accept that long ago. I don't find it necessary to imply that that particular fact makes it necessarily contrary to the mission statement that I want to think is the operating rule for EVERY SINGLE STORY. I know that isn't a fact.

    It is an article. It has to do with policy that appears to be spreading through many US providers.

    There's a very simple way of avoiding articles like this if they don't interest you. Look at the headline and don't read it.

    Not everything has to be to your taste to be OK.

    Seriously.

  7. Then sue her boss and the company. That seems extremely simple.

  8. "This is a vehicle that travels from 0 to 60 in 3.1 seconds," Speckman also said during the interview. "She's clearly having to swerve to miss a vehicle going the wrong way on a one-way street. If her foot should happen to hit the accelerator, it's like a rocket ship. I don't know why they have to make a car that does that."

    Because some people WANT a car that does that. There's no reason you had to buy it though. Entirely your fault. Blame yourself. Every single day of the rest of your life blame yourself.

  10. Baking soda cures cancer? that's news to me.

  11. So, you understand that genes don't just randomly jump, right? Just because something has been modified doesn't mean that it's gene will jump to another species and do something completely different than what it was designed to do.

    I don't know about that. I had forgotten all about the DRAM lawsuit against RAMBUS et al until a couple months ago when a $85 check for my portion of the settlement arrived in the mail. These things DO pay out.

  14. Mac gamers can't even buy/install that hardware anyhow.

    Those games don't run on either platform, so what would the point be?

  16. It's a fucking PHONE. I'm not expecting it to sound like my home DAC + tube amp and high end cans.

    The inconvenience of needing an external solution, and the SEVERE inconvenience of not being able to charge the fucking thing while using a lightning headset or whatever, is enough to dissuade me from EVER considering an iPhone again.

    If your friend is an "audiophile" why is he even using a phone for his music?

  17. Even if it is expensive that simply means you can subsidize the payments for those that could not afford it otherwise

    Yea so why the fuck would I want to do that? I don't want to pay for someone else's' internet too. Fuck that. Fuck Trump. Fuck his appointees.

    Which it isn't. There's no network connection until the activation word is reckognized. THis has been cross checked and verified by many. You can even utilize the service via a raspberry pi using the API and OPEN SOURCE software if you distrust the out of box device.

    Keep stirring up that FUD though.

  19. So you don't use the device to its full potential, and you really enjoy bragging about how "frugal" you are. That's really special.

    My echo dot can be told "connect to your speakers" and stream music to my 7.1 system taht actually SOUNDS good, rather than the marginal speaker even the full sized echo has. I have my lights and other devices linked via a smartthings hub, and my AV system via a harmony hub. All voice controlled, all timer controllable if I so wish. I have a sensor hooked to my front door to let me know when it's opened, should maintenance decide to visit my apartment unscheduled. I use it EVERY DAY. From "computer, turn house on" when I return home, to simple things like "Time" or Forcast . And timers and quick queries on game time or other things.

    I think it's worth the money, and it enhances my quality of life. Of course I don't have kids, and probably never will. I have no need to wring my hands and crow about how I have to be frugal and sacrifice my life quality for the future.

    "The thought of adding automated fixtures turns my stomach". OK got it. You're a luddite.

    Go be frugal. Get off that evil computer.

  21. Regular occurance on Oracle Lays Off More Than 1,000 Employees (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    As someone who once worked for a company led by a former Oracle Exec, this is par for the course. Larry Ellison is legendary for his "environment of fear" where they lay people off every 6 months both to keep people afraid for their jobs, and to pump up bonus money for the middle management above the people in question.

    Happened at the company I worked for, and though I was ostensibly safe due to my skill set, I finally got sick of watching good people that I had worked with for over a decade that I knew were doing good work being laid off to meet a quota.

    Fuck Oracle. Fuck Larry Ellison, and fuck every exec that learned that horse shit from him.

  22. I have never had the kind of experience you describe with Google. Not once.

    No the ones with active glasses got MUCH better. mine has a 240 hz refresh and there is no ghosting and no perceivable dimming. The passive glasses suck because of the half-height resolution.

    as far as not needing glasses... you do know how binocular vision works, right? The only FMV non-glasses technology that I'm aware of is on the 3DS, and that requires an eye tracking camera. There's no way a tech like that can work for multiple people.

    I still wear glasses. You can only get the laser operation once, so I'm waiting until I need it.

    Sorry it's so easy to dissuade you from using a technology. The glasses for my current TV are lighter than my prescription glasses.

    Nothing is further from my mind when I'm watching something in my own home than "oh no. I look silly"
