    No, I consider the editors to be trolls, not rednecks.

    The best Polish joke I can remember from over two decades ago when Christine Baranski hosted SNL and during her monologue, a planted audience member asked, "Is it true, that the Polish can't make ice cubes because they lost the recipe?". Fuck, still funny. I used to work with a team from Poland. Good guys. I'm pretty sure they'd disown and boot your ass if they could.

    To be fair, the religion doesn't so much say it, as fuckers belonging to that religion do it on their own. It's like saying conservatives support priests diddling kids. Both groups have a certain level of being complicit for not snuffing that shit with vengeance.

  5. Trolling and expressing opinions are not the same. South Park has some good episodes on trolls. Check them out for a laugh.

  6. In the movies, the keypads are numerical and single purpose. You're talking about a touch screen device. Now with fingerprint and face unlocks. Not saying you can't still find a picture unlock smudge or something, but it's not the same as the convenient movie cliché.

  7. Almost caught you, did they?

  8. You listen to NRA propaganda? Jesus Christ. Guns going to Mexico is going to have meaningful change in US? Fuck, that's just stupid. That's just a pile on opportunity because the NRA are cocksuckers. The guns were supposed to be tracked. They weren't. They are fucking incompetent. News at 11. Same as police and teaching professions, protecting fuck ups and covering it up instead of shit canning them just makes things 100X worse than the original fuck up.

  9. Do iOS assholes not see the same shit we see coming out of them? When will this shit end? FFS. Fuck you Apple.

    What are you paying for desktops and what would you pay for a thin client? That savings doesn't sound like much, depending on what you're paying.

    The only downside to me is that also means you might be a couple years behind the most current version of something, missing out on some features. In a lot of cases, it's in a third party repo, but on more than a few times, ffmpeg was a PITA. SSL and webserver features as well missing without latest versions. It's my server of choice. I'd recommend Fedora for laptop on current hardware, though .

    In the future, this will be indistinguishable from AI bots.

  16. 1. They don't grow potatoes. 2. Do you think price of fruits and vegetables are the same everywhere? Do you think costs are the same everywhere? That shit changes from season to season, area to area. What kind of fucking answer do you want for people to be mislead and focus on an unreliable number? Saying it'll be in the same price ballpark is about all they should say this early in development.

    10) consistent supply and pricing year round They could also build this in really rural areas, like Baffin Island or Alaska, where transportation costs for fresh food is exponentially retarded. Bonus points if you can get your power from hydro damns and solar.

    So, no sources, just your personal experience? Jesus fucking Christ. I'm sure required water is rarely free. I know it's not in my area. Pro-tip, farms convert to hydroponic and come out way ahead (peppers, in my personal experience). The farmers I know had to diversify their properties so good harvest years could offset bad harvest years and the other industries help smooth out ups and downs. Indoors is always a good year, so long as your setup and processes aren't bad.

    That's the city's fault. Zone that shit properly, trade approvals in favourable areas for stores in poor areas.

    I missed the part of the discussion where the cost of building specifically inside the city, as opposed to outside. I don't know why someone even brought up building inside the city, that's just a non-starter. Suburbs or other commercial warehouse type park outside major areas, good idea.

    The smell of no animals, no soil, very little insects, and very little pesticides? Closed environment. Did you even read TFS? I live in a town with farms. Several times a year, the smell is very bad. This building would be a fraction of the smell. I welcome it. There's land designated in agriculture land but not economically farmable. Developers spend years trying to convince the locals to remove from the reservation to let them build condos and shit, and the locals shot it down because they want to ensure future food supplies. This is a win - win. The 200 mile diet would take off in Vancouver.

    Actually, there's more evidence to suggest Apple was infiltrated, so exploits could have been put in without Apple knowing. See GotoFail for example.

    This is why this is all Apple's fault their security is weaker, not stronger. So instead of just trusting ONLY Apple have a way in with Apple's lawyers providing some back pressure on warrants, but everyone with just relatively few bucks now has full access. Unlocking is fucking cheaper than a new phone.
