  1. Do they only call land lines? on Listen To a Microsoft Support Scam As It Happened · · Score: 1

    I haven't had any of these calls to date, and it's pretty rare for me to get any kind of phone spam. Since I've worked in tech support years ago, I'm curious how long I could string one of them along. "I only use it to log into my bank, I've got all the money from my accident settlement in there. Haven't noticed any trouble, are you sure I need this? "

  3. Re:$500 markup on New MacBook on Apple's "Spring Forward" Event Debuts Apple Watch and More · · Score: 0

    If you believe that's equivalent to the MacBook, then you should buy it. Personally, I don't have the time to deal with the headaches that come with buying flimsy knock-offs.

    The US has its own rape culture.

    Not even close. If anything, the USA has a witch-hunting culture that manifests in debacles like the Duke Lynch Mob.

    "Shyster" is a Yiddish word for an unscrupulous person, usually a lawyer. I'm a Jew myself, you guilt-peddling twat. Now fuck off.

    Well, I'm watching it, and 20 minutes in I want to not only strangle all the perps, but both of their lawyers. Jesus Christ, what a greasy, evil, stupid and vicious pair of shysters.

    So no trial, just execution of punishment?

    She'll cop a plea, and Obama will pardon her on his way out. For a small consideration of $40M or so towards his presidential library fund.

    Or to be more precise, Squeak. It's compiled, it doesn't have the cruft of C, and it's as "classic" as it gets.

    Why do these assholes even take an oath of office these days? The fourth amendment isn't ambiguous, and the failure of the courts to enforce it doesn't change what it says. The NSA is committing billions of felonies.
