And when the robot fucks up your burger, or you want it made a certain way and can't get the robot to do it, then what do you do? Just eat it anyway, like a good little pleb? Maybe you get lucky and the manager goes back there and makes it for you himself -- and now you're back to 'human customer service'.
I don't want robots making my burgers. Or steak. Or anything else that I go to any sort of restaurant to eat. I want a PERSON making my food, and a PERSON bringing it to me. Otherwise I'll just stay home and make my own food.
How about a one-time expense of installing an antenna on your house and never pay again? Do you really have so much free time that you need to fill it with passive entertainment?
Oh lookie, another angry voter with moderator points decided I'm a troll. What we really need is a moderation adjective of "Uncomfortable Truth", since "Troll" is clearly inappropriate.
You know I might consider taking you seriously if you'd put your name to your big words instead of hiding behind Anonymous Coward. As-is you're just a random angry dude spoiling for a fight. Try channeling some of that adrenaline into doing something positive and constructive instead of just re-inforcing the negative opinions of the actual racists in this country.
If I had actual numbers then I'd use actual numbers. Neo-nazi/white supremacist/racist/bigot/fascist types tend to not self-identify because they don't want to attract bullets and other things that will perforate them. It was only Trump being elected that brought the out of the shadows, and even then it's hard to count them accurately.
The 48% who didn't vote saw the writing on the wall: not a single candidate was worth a damn. Not that they're off the hook though. By not voting they help undermine our entire system of government.
All you've done with your knee-jerk of a comment is prove to me that you read exactly what you wanted to read, instead of reading what was actually written, because the intent of it was completely lost on you. Or are you a neo-conservative and have an axe to grind, perhaps? I suggest you calm yourself down and go read what I wrote again. Every word this time, please.
Oh and whoever it is that's modding me as 'troll' is, very likely, a butt-hurt Trump supporter, who now has Buyers' Remorse over their vote. Don't feel too bad, really, it's not like there was even one candidate in the entire election that was worth anyones vote, they all sucked.
'Traditionalists' or even 'corrupt' is just a polite way of saying 'conscienceless people who are more than willing to fuck everyone else over so long as they acquire more money and more power'. Funny thing happens though if these sorts of people get their way too much for too long: everyone else tends to get rather upset over it. Tell them "Let them eat cake", and they start building guillotines and dragging people out into the streets to feed them to it.
I dunno. I find YouTube to be extremely tedious. There's just so much garbage, and it's not like text, where I can skim it quick and decide in 5 seconds or less whether it's a waste of my time or not.
The one thing Trump has done, unwittingly, is bring all the racists/bigots/neo-nazis/white supremacists/etc out into the light; at least we know who they are now and where they are, so they can be dealt with.
So, basically, you're a neo-nazi/white supremacist/right-wing-militant/neo-fascist/racist sympathizer? Or perhaps one or all of the above, actively? Are you a Dominionist, too? Better be careful what you say these days, or that's the sort of attention you're going to attract, whether you are these things or not.
If someone has a swastika tattooed on their skin, they're a neo-nazi. If they talk about how Hitler and Mussolini were great men, then it's extremely likely they're neo-nazis. If they talk about how blacks are all n-i-g-g-e-r-s and how Jews and Latinos (and anyone who isn't aryan, basically) are all scum and should be exterminated, then they're very likely neo-nazis (or at the very least they're violently racist and bigoted). If they look like a duck and quack like a duck, then it's HIGHLY LIKELY that they are a duck! Fact of the matter is, a huge swath of these type of people voted for Trump, because he's very much a nationalist, is obviously sexist, arguably racist, and is trying, along with his Dominionist GOP buddies, to drag the United States back into the 1940's socio-politically speaking. If you think the half of the country that didn't vote for, and don't support Trump, are going to sit idly by and watch the last 100 years of social progress be erased, then I've got to say you're not living in the real world.
This has nothing to do with encryption. It has little to do with Law and Order. It has to do with CONTROL. Let's face the facts: The vast majority of law enforcement, whether they admit it to even themselves or not, are in it because they want CONTROL of as many people around them as possible, and law enforcement careers give them that. They could investigate crimes and enforce the law regardless of encyption, but the fact that they can't CONTROL companies like Apple and force them to do as they are told, when they are told, without question makes them so angry that I'm sure they think about just putting a gun to Tim Cook's head and threaten to blow his head off unless he knuckles under and does as he is told to do. Surprise, surprise: many of our politicians aren't much better! They get into politics because they want power, and being an elected congressperson gives them that. They may not carry guns, but they still wield power, and in their anus-clenched-so-hard-they-could-make-diamonds obsessive-compulsive ultra-A-type personalities, they can't tolerate not knowing everything about everyone, immediately, without delay or reason why. So we have what we've got here today: a bunch of thugs with badges and guns, and a bunch of elected old farts who shuffle papers and make back-alley deals, and they all want to sift through your underwear drawer when you're not home. Naturally, they all need to be told to fuck the fuck off, not yours, you can't have it -- and they need to continue to be told that, ad infinitum.
Your safety has nothing to do with this issue and nothing to do with encrypted data. You've drunk the Security Theatre Kool-Aid, and as a result you actually believe that every brown-skinned person you see is secretly a Muslim extremist who is plotting to rape your wife and cut your kids' heads off, while you're forced to watch, before having your own head cut off; you actually believe that shit, and being in the Constant State of Terror that they've worked so hard to ensure you're firmly in, you won't listen to facts, or real statistics, or reason, you'll only listen to the Man With The Gun and The Badge, because he claims to be able to Save You From What You Fear. Congratulations, you're a complete and utter fool.
But, see, it's not even real Linux that can run standalone, it runs under Windows. They already more or less hold sway over the whole 'secure boot' thing. If they effectively de-certify all standalone versions of Linux and keep promoting their subordinate version(s), they could conceivably kill off Linux as a standalone OS. Furthermore they could make all attempts to prevent this from happening sound like criminal hackers trying to take over your computer or somesuch nonsense, and that only what Microsoft offers is 'safe' to use. Don't underestimate how fucking evil they can be to get what they want: to be the ONLY OS provider on the planet. Don't forget the dirty tactics they've used in the past with Windows 10, and even before that.
Line frequency regulation affects the efficiency of the entire power grid, since it's really one gigantic tuned circuit with a center frequency of 60Hz. Get it too far off and power starts being wasted. I'd imagine it could even potentially damage some of the components of the grid if it was too far off for too long.

Oh lookie, a personal attack, how sad.
I accept your surrender, regardless of your obfuscating it with insults against me.

I wonder: are these groups unwittingly, or knowingly the tools of the Dominionists?
I dunno. I find YouTube to be extremely tedious. There's just so much garbage, and it's not like text, where I can skim it quick and decide in 5 seconds or less whether it's a waste of my time or not.

Am I the only one who thinks this so-called 'story' looks like an infomercial?
I've never seen anything like this. Is it some router setting, or do they block it in their network? I use my own router not Comcast's equipment.
Two words: Betsy DeVos.
If you're going to shill for Microsoft it's more effective to use an actual logged-in account instead of posting as AC.
Yes, it does. It says that I don't fall for the propaganda or give in to terror.
Yeah, this, in spades. Just one more thing you'll have to jump through hoops, and hack the hell out of the registry to disable.

So what you're really saying is: You're a Dominionist?
What's your point exactly? The add-on will just get updated. Are you looking for a conspiracy where there is none or something?
