    The best water was actually canned water by Anheuser-Busch,

    It was nice of them to supply some Bud Light during an emergency.

    The employees are not getting any of these excessive profits. Those get rolled right into executive bonuses.

    And taxes? Please. They're corporations. They don't pay any taxes.

    I'm sure the buggy whip employees wish they had thought of that angle...

    some, according to the Associated Press, are concerned that the move would reduce revenue to tractor manufacturers, potentially landing them in trouble.

    Who gives a shit apart from the owners of the tractor makers?

    I have an original XBOne, and it works fine. for 4K media I have Nvidia Shield TV.

    Only gaming upgrade happening this year is an EVGA GeForce 1080 FTW. A fair bit more expensive than a console, but worth every penny to me for the games I prefer to play.

    Yes obviously I want to get a cheaper phone running a non-Android variant OS laden with Chinese Gov't mandated back doors. That makes perfect sense over a proven brand.

    How about the lawsuits when they remove a feature many people, the vast majority of whom have enough common sense to use it correctly, paid for?

  8. Never mind the non-upgradable memory on PC Gaming Is Still Way Too Hard (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    The video hardware in Macs is absolutely USELESS for AAA gaming. And it can't be upgraded either.

    This is not a problem with PC gaming. PC Gaming should not cater to the lowest common denominator, that's what consoles are for.

    Perhaps the degree in Communications wasn't the best idea for them?

    Not all University Grads are created equal. Some of them half-assed and partied their way to an easy degree, which is worth every bit of the effort they put into it.

  12. Different company. This one uses automation. They do not NEED those 22000. Why the fuck should they be forced to hire them?

  13. I don't even want to ... on Ubuntu's Unity desktop environment can run in Windows (wordpress.com) · · Score: 1

    run that turd of a desktop on Linux. Never mind Windows.

    Unity was born when there was some plan to have Ubuntu touch interfaces on tablets and phones. By the time anything was delivered that mostly worked, that ship had sailed. Apple and Android had both markets locked up.

    In a sense it's not that different from the UI from Windows 8 that was intended to have similar ubiquity, and was largely as reviled.

  14. Re:Gay crew members scrapped in TNG... on George Takei Opposes Gay Sulu In 'Star Trek Beyond' (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 2

    The entire concept of the Trill was intended to bring that into attention. A race where the "intellect" could inhabit either sex. They even, in the first story in which the Trill appeared, introduced the conflict in which Doctor Crusher had fallen in love with a Trill intellect when it was expressed in a body with one sex, but could not reconcile when it was in a body of the opposite sex. A perfectly reasonable response by a human being who has their own sexuality in full grip, but it did pose an interesting question for the viewer.

    I don't think that's precisely what you're referring to, however.

  15. Sulu is George's character on George Takei Opposes Gay Sulu In 'Star Trek Beyond' (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Not Simon Pegg's. George is the person that should define that character, alternate timeline notwithstanding. George IS Sulu.

    Period.

    I understand an applaud the intent behind this move, but honestly it's insulting to imply that George Takei, as a gay man, could not have portrayed a straight man. He's commented. He's shown his appreciation as it happens, and he has said that he does not think that Hikaru Sulu is gay.

    That pretty much settles it for me. If George says it, that's the fact.

    It's not meant to be a living. It's supplemental income.

    Anyone trying to make a living at it is an idiot. Or a Haitian cab driver who thinks it might be easier (perhaps but since you still act like a Haitian Cab driver, you got a 1 rating, Jerome, now your average dropped, and you're out of luck). OK so also an idiot.

    Of course that explanation doesn't involve the amount of tin foil that many like to introduce into the situation, but it makes the most sense to me.
