No point in trying to persuade people in denial about Global Warming of anything. They're shills, morons or trolls, and not open to persuasion by logic and science.
So really, the best strategy is to ridicule and insult them, the same way you'd ridicule and insult a child molester trying to argue from the anonymous safety of their parents' basement that raping children isn't really all that bad.
Did you honestly not know about the millions of taxpayer dollars those providers were paid to "actually build infrastructure"...which they promptly put in their pocket, then underperformed like crazy? Or are you just another scumbag shill for one of the most corrupt, dishonest pack of money-grubbing, welfare queen tax cheats in modern day America?
How about this: English is probably the most widely-spoken language among people who have flush toilets and electricity. People who don't have these things probably have limited use for a smart phone, so ensuring that Siri, Cortana and Clippy speak the language of people who squat by the roadside to pinch a loaf isn't much of a priority.
I jumped the 5 and 5S, and went straight from an iPhone 4S to a 6. For me, that's still a one-hand phone. It does more than I need, and battery life isn't atrocious, though it's not great.
I don't see myself wanting anything larger, though.
Your argument is compelling. Thank you for supporting the cause, tovarich! Mr. Putin will see there's a little something extra for you in your pay envelope.
I have to admit, if somebody jumped through the financial hoops, got Pai's location and murdered him, I wouldn't be terribly upset. In fact, I'd probably have a good laugh and a fun beer discussion with friends about whether such an event would actually constitute irony, or merely incongruous coincidence.
Exactly what I was thinking. Plus, it took me about 10 seconds to come up with some truly nasty things bad people could do in an environment where drones were common and hard to identify.
My thoughts exactly, my friend. I keep wondering when so many people got used to living in a constant state of anxiety, ready to be stampeded toward whatever stupid, freedom-destroying "democratically reached" decision governments and their corporate masters want.
You would have to be fucking insane to allow corporations to get away with monitoring you in your car. Or your house.
Anybody who voluntarily allows this kind of invasion of privacy is an idiot. And they deserve a good, hard kick to the crotch, because their acceptance will make it easier to force those of us with some common sense and dignity into choosing between being monitored or not driving. Sometimes there really IS a slippery slope.
TFA says Kaspersky's tip led to the arrest in 2016 of a security contractor who stole massive amounts of data from the NSA. Their reward was that in 2017, Donald Trump signed legislation banning Kaspersky on government computers, and prohibiting government institutions from buying or installing it on "computers and other devices".
It looks an awful lot like Kaspersky proved in 2016 they were not a tool of the Russian government. Their reward was that less than a year later, Putin reached out through his asset in the White House to punish them for failing to bend over and spread for him.
Now, after waiting on hold for three hours, I won't have to deal with chopped and dropped sentences when "Brad" from Bell Canada's Customer Service Department explains to me why they have been overcharging me for services I never ordered and don't use.
So the "gig economy" isn't just a one way street. Good. There are some good employers out there, but there are a lot more who have been mercilessly screwing over their employees for years. If some of them get a little of their own medicine back, I'm all for it. I'm lucky. My current employer is amazing, and I'd bend over backward to help them out. A place where I worked earlier in my career, though, was a different story...vile people running a crooked operation. If I heard their head of HR had cancer, I'd send him a "Hope You Die Screaming" card.
Despite extreme heat, no light, minuscule nutrition and intense pressure, scientists estimate this subterranean biosphere is teeming with between 15bn and 23bn tonnes of micro-organisms, hundreds of times the combined weight of every human on the planet.
And just about all of them are smarter than a Trump voter.
There used to be a sketch comedy show called Bizarre that would replace "feelthy language" with the names of politicians and public figures. So you might hear them say something like, "That hooker Lewinskied my Trump until I Clintoned all over her face."
Somehow I doubt Linux developers will be any less imaginative going forward.
It's time to start actively creating misinformation on one's social media presence. Since we can't protect our personal information from these Big Brother wannabe's, we have to at least degrade its reliability, and therefore its value.
I wonder how long will it be before those idiots who proudly proclaim "If you use Facebook, you deserve what you get" have their noses rubbed in the fact that owning a cell phone and being friends with anybody who does have a Facebook profile is enough to hand them quite a lot of personal information.

This site is largely concerned with science and technology. Clearly, you don't belong.
Why don't you fuck off back to whatever right wing troll farm you came from. And the sooner, the better.

Now they just have to figure out how Trump manages to generate speech while demonstrating no measurable brain activity.

Of course it did, you fucking moron...for well-understood reasons. But right now it is humans who are causing it.
Check back with us when you graduate from Grade 8 science, if that ever happens.

So many opportunities for terrorists, so little time.

Justin Trudeau noted that Canada's primary interest in this technology would have nothing whatsoever to do with tobacco.
If you were a jackass, you might think that.

Not sure about that, little Ken Doll. I was smart enough to leave a huge load of sperm in your mom without catching any of her STD's.
So how's that brain rot from the syphilis you were born with coming along?

You would have had to be very, very selective to find sites that don't back up what I said.

Anybody who has a girlfriend has already bought a whole bunch of stuff they don't like.
Oh, crap. Wait. I forgot where I was commenting. "Anybody who has a girlfriend". LOL.
