  1. No, you just get cleats to the face. Nastiest black eye I've ever seen was on my cousin who nearly lost an eye.

  2. You already seemed to understand, "one" != "hit". "hit" for more than one.

    Intel chip designer that can't even use capital letters properly? Checks out.

  4. msmash is such a shitty "editor", he/she can't even fucking copy and paste from the original stories properly. Eight fucking hours, no correction, and I doubt we'll see one. It's /. trolling from the fucking editors, FFS. They just don't give a shit and have no job qualifications.

  5. Are you that bitch from the Apple commercial that asks "what's a computer? " 10Gb Ethernet is getting standard minimum requirement and pretty much required if you're working on cutting edge shit. Wireless is useless to the intended user of this machine. Go home son, the adults are talking.

  6. 3.5 mm stereo jack.

    Do the math or it won't happen. I've seen honking big heatsinks for wireless base stations that was far less power than that Xeon and GPU. They were pretty toasty.

  8. Just use Unlocker. Usually saves from a reboot.

  9. Not sure if this is double posting, /. ate the first two posts. "Apple has since independently confirmed to MacRumors that it will agree to replace an eligible battery for a $29 fee, regardless of whether an official diagnostic test shows that it is still able to retain less than 80 percent of its original capacity. " Does not parse unless s/less/more/. All fucking batteries can retain 80% or less. Fucking morons. Fuck these people who can't fucking write and then take a job where it's their job to write.

  10. Businesses can expense a shit load more things than the person just living and going to a daily job. As a new small business, I feel guilty over what I can claim that I couldn't when I used to have a salary job. In Canada, there's a crack down on some small business abuse that gives way more advantages over salary workers.

    I think most people's impression that government is wasteful because we all have at least one friend/acquantence that works in government and is useless beyond comprehension. I remember one friend who was told by her boss to slow down, she was making everyone look bad by doing actual work in an appropriate amount of time.

    He fully understood planned obsolescence and limited upgrade paths from the get go. Just ignore this Kool-aid drinking motherfucker. He takes personal butthurt when Apple is criticized.

  18. Apple is missing an opportunity to introduce a proprietary battery enclosure and interface to solve this in future phones. Make it water proof with all white plastic design and it'll sell better than earpods. They can even claim they invented removable batteries.

    If Apple was giving away free falling ice before entering the store and then exchanging $300+ iWatches for it, they'll lose a lot of money at that store!

    So an Android user is able to figure out its defective battery and not software so they can replace it and get full functionality again. What the fuck point were you trying to make in Apple's favour?

  23. Fuck, you're being obtuse. Up until recently, people thought their best option to a slow phone was a newer $1000 phone, not a $79 repair. People think of battery as operating life, not operating performance. If it reports having juice, it should be at max speed, right? By hiding this "feature", many people couldn't make an informed decision. Given the new information, how many people would have been happy to replace the battery instead of the phone? Apple is going to take a beating on new sales because now that this is public, those old, slow ass phones will get a $29 new battery and resold for cheaper than a new phone. The resale market is going to boom and people will not upgrade as often.
