    No idea, I've never bought anything from that place but I had friends who ate there a decade ago. I just assumed they still gave plastic sporks in 2018 for the sake of my joke.

  6. And the economic gap between the poor and the ultra-rich will only exist if we let it happen.

    And (whatever bad that has already happened) only happened because we let it happen.

    I'm Canadian. I hope nobody call the cops on me because yesterday I took some leftover KFC home and now I have two plastic sporks.

  8. ...you can buy it for $15 a month on any platform.

    Here's my $15. By the way, my platform is an old Nintendo DSi. Make it work or I'll see you in court for false advertising.

  9. Some small network should try a new "Unlimited 1MB plan", charging $0.10 per megabyte.

    When the bill comes and someone calls them, they'll be able to say "our plan specifically said unlimited 1MB, so we're charging you for as many MB as you used, there was no limit on the number of MB you could use. It's unlimited."

    They are required by law to provide the maximum return for their shareholders.

    Time to nullify that law.

  11. Time for Apple to support this California privacy initiative so that people stop putting them in the same lot as Google and Facebook.

    The thing is, if the companies running those servers knew a tiny bit about server redundancy they'd have backup servers in place to take over as soon as the primary servers were found to be faulty.

    The only thing the latest Celeron CPUs share with their ancestor is the name. Think "trimmed-down i5", not "Atom".

    My gaming PC used a Celeron before I upgraded to an i5. In most games, the upgrade didn't do anything at all.

    That does not explain why my second mouse button works, my scrollwheel works and the OS allowed me to assign a function to the third button of my old non-wireless USB Logitech mouse from nearly two decades ago.

    The "single button mouse" meme died when Apple dropped Mac OS Classic.

    This isn't about speed, it's about price. Compare the price of a CPU in 2016 and the same CPU in 2018. The 2016 CPU costs less in 2018, but the 2016 Mac is still sold at the same price in 2018.

    To really drive the point home, I think someone should do one of those "Hi, I'm a Mac. Hi, I'm a PC." TV ad again.

    This time, the Mac would be represented by a millenial that's more preoccupied by his social media status and how thin he looks because of this great diet he's on and how he's a great person because he has many LGBT friends and they only talk about PC issues, while the PC would be represented by a normal person doing actual work, playing great games, talking with other people about any subject like a normal person.

    Posted from my Mac mini. I'm not anti-Apple, I'm anti-stupid and Apple are really testing my patience these days.
