There is, of course, a picture of me underneath one of their very old, custom made exterior lights. Shining above my head in beautiful stained glass is that simple message: The Cock".
So who am I more inclined to believe, scientists who have submitted refereed papers on the subject, or some dildo on Slashdot who thinks he knows better.
Reading the other comments here, what's obvious is that you started a fight with somebody who is probably quite a bit more intelligent than you. Certainly he/she is a much better writer, and a lot better with humour.
And, unlike you, I bet they don't dress up in funny costumes and jump around in gyms pretending to punch and kick people.
Now that you've been properly schooled, bow to the sensei, accept your lesson, and try to move on.
Seriously, if your brain is actually dependent on dancing around like a fairy and pretending to hurt people to tolerate others, then get some professional help quickly!
Meanwhile, I hope you don't mind too much if us sensible people head down to the pub after work for a couple of pints with our friends, maybe served up by a cute waitress or bartender.
There's a clear hierarchy in the developer community. There's the people who actually write good apps, and there's scumbag imitators who shamelessly rip them off and load up their stolen versions of decent apps with borderline malware. Neither Apple nor Google seems to give a damn about this. Both app stores are awash with shytte apps.
So maybe it's time for the good developers to simply walk away. The downside to jailbreaking and rooting has generally been that you're losing security. But if the cost of being a bit more secure was that you only had access to the garbage provided by outright thieves protected by Apple and Google, more and more people would want to escape from their walled gardens.
Somebody living in the country that voted into law the so-called "Patriot Act" talks about what kind of encroachment on liberties won't pass in the US?
That's the funniest thing I've read all week. Also the saddest.
Yeah, I've noticed that. Sure there's times when all you have available is a cell phone. But if you're a pro, those times will be few and far between, because in addition to a big, heavy DSLR with a bag full of lenses and accessories, you're also going to have a decent point-and-shoot like the Olympus TG5 that fits easily into a pocket, will stop a bullet, and that you carry just about everywhere.
Sorry, my friend, but it is you who is missing the point. The Nikon I'm referring to is a simple point-and-shoot. It still blows the doors off anything offered in a smart phone, simply because the sensor is considerably larger, and the lens contains some decent glass. So that is, in fact, the camera I have with me. It fits comfortably into the pocket of a jean jacket. I have an excellent DSLR that is usually in the trunk of my car...relatively accessible if I think I'll need it. And yes, I have worked as a professional photographer for three publications that have actual newsrooms.
As for your sound requirements...we'll just have to agree to disagree. What's good enough for you isn't good enough for me. There's a lot of room between "reference audio" and the boomy drek you get from a Bluetooth signal. If that level of quality suits you...have a party. It doesn't work for me when I want to relax.
You're also wrong about microwave ovens. There's lots of stuff you can cook in one that's more than just "good enough". Two easy examples: scrambled eggs and lasagna can both be made restaurant quality if you know what you're doing. The only proviso is that in the latter case, the lasagna won't be great unless you've got at least 1200 Watts to play with. You can have the recipe if you want it.
I guess we now live in a world where quite a few people are willing to pay top dollar for second rate quality. Let's face it, even the best Bluetooth link doesn't provide the best sound. And it doesn't matter how you massage it, the sensor in a cell phone isn't going to match even a relatively cheap camera.
So the tunes on my old iPhone 4S physically plugged into a good-quality outdoor speaker, are a consistent "people's choice" over anything linked to that same speaker via Bluetooth. And my primitive Nikon makes pictures consistently better than anything I've yet seen from a smart phone's camera.
The main difference between Harris and Wynne was the buddies they had lined up to gang rape Ontario taxpayers. There was even a certain amount of overlap in their policies: privatize a taxpayer asset and sell it to their friends at firesale prices. Both worked to privatize Ontario Hydro, for example.
Sadly, Ontario just gave a Trumpoid former drug dealer and his fundamentalist Conservative Party a majority government. No doubt they'll claim this is all thanks to them (although they've only been in power for a couple of weeks). And when they blast the provincial debt through the roof with unfunded tax cuts, then sell off taxpayer-owned assets to pretty up the books, they'll blame everybody but themselves. It happened before with a cretinous monster named Mike Harris.
Up to a point, I believe that's true. But there are legal vantage points from which it is possible to take illegal photographs. I'm not sure what happens in such cases.
When Bush was elected President, there were reports that law enforcement agencies destroyed evidence related to the cases of people executed during the time Bush was Governor of Texas.
They were afraid, apparently, proof might emerge that Bush had signed off on the execution of someone who could be proved innocent.
"Texas law enforcement also thinks that a man who was executed in 1999 for killing a 9-year-old girl was now also behind the murder of a 40-year-old realtor in 1981."
No doubt this same dead guy was guilty of every unsolved, cold case murder committed in Texas for the last 35 years.
In other news, Texas law enforcement is now boasting about having the highest percentage of solved cases in US history.

From evidence here, I think it's pretty obvious you're both a drinker AND a twat.
And that you have aggression issues.

"You can use the CPU, bitch, but only the way WE tell you to use it". No doubt that's the fantasy Intel execs masturbate to every night before bed.
Excellent point!

I don't see that as a bad thing.
If short sellers take it up the ass again, then yes, it will end well.
Hope you've got some diapers handy for all the hoop damage. I hear it's hard to control yourself after a reaming like that.
Well said, my friend!
Somewhat neotenous, perhaps, like many tech types I've met, but not magical.

Note to fellow researchers: teach AI the words "jerk it off" never, EVER mean that literally.
I was recently fortunate to have an extraordinarily cute, 20-something science student resurrect a 53-year-old worm buried in her....um, never mind.

I think I know how to defeat this system...
