  1. I think after the 7th "refer to map" , it's not going to happen. I'm reminded of the commercials where husband is lost and refuses map and directions.

    That's really irrelevant. I've never been in the same room as heroin, but alcohol, pot, cocaine, ecstasy, etc were all within availability as for most teens these days. Right now, there's a fentynal problem in my province. I'm sure there's more people doing heroin for the first time than when I was a teenager trying drugs for the first time 20 years ago.

    "If the availability of these "robots" prevents even one pedophile from seeking an actual child, they're a not positive for society" I was going to reply nastily to this, but on further reading, I think you meant "net". Fucking typos. One letter separates you from sane and psychopathic.

    A friend of mine was a waitress at a strip club and wrote a book about 50 stripper's lives from their point of view. A couple of them mentioned that they'd get shit from time to time for appearing to cater to the pedo type guy who was into a young looking and acting female. They thought they were only doing good in the world by taking the edge off these fucktards who may molest a real person if they never had the stripper as a safe outlet. Given most of the 50 of those strippers in the book were molested or abused in one way or another, it really changed my view. I'll give them the unfortunate benefit of experience on that. I am of the point of view that calling someone "daddy" during sex is just wrong. That is creepy as fuck.

    A fucking cron job is tedious? Seriously? It's copy and paste for fuck sakes. The only problem I have is reusing the certs in programs that you paste the cert and key instead of pointing to the files. One of these days I'll figure out the sed syntax and do that through automatic post processing script when renewing certs automatically. It'll take 5 minutes to google the sed syntax and test it out. Maybe 10 and reused on many servers. Tedious? Umm, no.

  8. Re: Correction... on Qualcomm Seeks To Ban Imports And Sales of Apple iPhones in New Lawsuit (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Let's say the bottling plant pays for the syrup and Coke pays the bottling plant. The syrup company says I'll sell you sugar at X price for no-name/RC cola, but I will sell you it for X+Y. Or, Apple starts paying X fee. The lower margin phones can't afford it. Qualcomm decides they'll make more money lowering the fee and getting more than nothing. My understanding is the payment is tied to the sale price of the phone and Apple is trying to pay the same as the lower priced phones.

  9. I thought part of the issue is that the money the manufacturers pay to Qualcomm is subsidized and Apple pays the subsidized rate instead of the proper cut of a premium phone sold in first world countries instead of third world pricing for third world devices. I'm sure there's lots of details unknown.

    You misunderstand. There's "one" cloud, but many devices (phone, PC'S, servers, X BOX, etc) that sync the same data. Some devices may be offline. Think multicast, not unicast.

    Microsoft sells PC'S and laptops without bloat ware (Signature line) and have these images available to OEM'S. It's HP who bundles the trial software in that case. Other Linux distributions have default browsers and search pages, not sure your point.

    No, you're flat out wrong. Just because you misunderstand something, doesn't mean it has dual meaning, it just means you're wrong. But go ahead and argue with Linus Torvalds, who has made this distinction specific to kernel, not OS.

    You make it sound like code develops bugs and vulnerabilities automatically over time on their own. Code can be well tested and stable, there's not MUST switch to newer, bigger, exploitable code. Your full distro is likely to have way more vulnerabilities than an embedded router. And more resources to exploit.

  23. ISP'S can be shitty and not being tied to your ISP allows you to get the better service. I go back and forth between Shaw and Telus. When I experience a few outages, I jump to the other guy. Also, a lot of ISP's have low mailbox sizes or shitty anti - spam filters.
