    Why the fuck would you think that? Did you think our brains suddenly became a database of sound? You are seriously dumb.

  2. 5 seconds is pretty shitty when a human can identify some songs with less than 5 notes.

    A phone is in your hands on many different surfaces. Think dropping a very expensive remote control, not on carpet. How many beige PC'S have you dropped? I dropped my last phone at least 20 times over 3+ years. The last time on concrete and slid 20ft, the power button broke off and got lost. I bought a new body for it for like $22 from eBay and about 15 minutes of time after watching a YouTube video, it was good as new.

    Wtf? You still get an invoice and record of sale regardless of payment method. Are you stupid?

    The first day of my first job out of college, the CEO said to me, "how do you get a tire through an embargo? Tie a rope around it and call it a swing". I treat that as the first sign he was a fraud to stay away from.

    They're right, though. Eating last meal at 8pm vs 10pm vs 12am have different impacts, even getting same sleep and keeping everything the same. Eating earlier in the day is better. This is long established.

    Whoosh General Hospital is a TV show. It was a joke. The appropriate reaction is a slight grin and move on.

    You tasted shit you watched on YouTube? The future is here! They had simpler pallets. If you're not subjected to shitloads of sugar and salt as us, the old school food won't seem so bland.

    Lots of industries have variable pricing based on final product pricing and/or intended customer. From medicines to subscriptions to electronic components. Microsoft gives education discounts and have programs for free or highly discounted software for years for new businesses. They may choose to offer a lower price for a lower end product for long term mass adoption. Why you think the seller can't sell their product on their terms makes no sense to me. They hate each other and Apple demands shit all the time. They're not best buddies, they are ruthless businesses.

    Your IT guy is probably laughing at you behind your back. The rest of us would be talking about map DATA. Next time you're looking at the map, check the lower corner for the date the data was taken.

    I take it you don't work in a worthwhile industry. Chinese spying is pretty prevalent in Canadian technology industries. We've lost billions in R&D to Chinese espionage. Denying it shows your ignorance to history and facts.

    "Standard" here refers to the portability between distros that don't have UID conflicts. The fucking add user tools don't even all work the same. When he's talking about making a unified standard, it's so they can deal with UID conflicts in the same standard way instead of dealing with a dozen corner case from different distros. Your distro that allows 0day can make the patch to support it if they want to deviate from systemd design. The issue is more nuanced than you make it out to be.

    I still blame msmash for selecting a shitty article in the first place.

  18. Because it's supposed to decrease the volume on their paid support. Enabling users to fix their own problems would save a shit ton of money and aggravation. I learned of this Apple support years ago when they fucked up millions of Apple accounts after some failed mail/account merge or migration. It cost $29 to call Apple to solve the issue. Thousands of pissed off people in forums, zero fucks given by Apple. It was Apple's fuck up.

  19. What the fuck are you talking about? Seeing a story on /. before another site happens next to never. Did you just prove op's point more than he did? Seriously, it can be days to a week before shit shows up on /. after it appears elsewhere. Editors are shit, here.

    You lose credibility when you fail to mention the bug submission includes this bit, "I searched google and found that it was not right to named a linux user with 0day". It's not valid. Because some other apps don't adhere to standards, they're doing it wrong. Use proper context if you want to have a conversation, not whine like a bitch.
