How convenient for you; retards are only liberal because it's "hip", but those smart ones like yourself who don't buy into propaganda are all pragmatic, skeptical individuals who aren't easily manipulated.
It must be especially easy to win arguments against the straw men you construct when you have such a low opinion of your opponent.
It only looks like blind attacks to people who have bought into the hype.
Believe it or not, when someone tells you that your shit stinks, it's not that they're "hating" you -- it's just that they're tired of smelling your shit.
You did not pay for data. You paid for a service that allows you to use the Internet on your mobile device.
Fine. I would like to use that service -- the one that I'm paying for -- to provide that Internet connectivity to another device. If the only reason I can't do that is due to some legalese in a contract that I'm not allowed to negotiate, well, fuck that; I'll root the device and do it anyway and feel absolutely no remorse about it.
It seems like every developer conference I go to these days, Macs outnumber all other computers by 4 or 5 to 1, at least.
I notice this too -- nearly everywhere I go that people are using laptops. Tons of Apple logos glowing, and the odd Dell or HP here and there.
However, the reality is that Apple laptops only make up a small part of the market, so it can't be that there are just more of them out there. My hypothesis is that Apple owners just like to show everyone that they're Apple owners.
Personally, I use a Mac Pro that was bought to test cross-platform software on OSX. I'm always tempted to cover the thing in stickers or something so I don't look like a typical Mac douche, but I don't take it out often enough to really worry about it.
The problem with this is that so many loud "anti-government" idiots are only "anti-government" about the things they don't want it to do. They're perfectly happy with using the government to stop things they don't like, but as soon as someone suggests that maybe more guns aren't the answer to all of our problems, or that no-texting-while-driving laws are pretty reasonable, the "anti-government" lot immediately switches sides to keep the "nanny state" out of their business.
It's basically code for, "well, everything *I* believe is perfectly reasonable, but everything I *don't* believe is just big government nanny stateism," and you can't have a meaningful discussion with someone like that. They keep moving the goalposts to whatever suits the particular issue at hand. Instead of forming an argument specific to the issue, they play the big government card whenever someone suggests, for instance, regulating industrial pollution output; and then they have absolutely no problem with a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. You can't reason with that kind of stupid.
Yes, but they *could* have just been infiltrating Palin's supporters all along with plans to start a false-flag operation by editing some other mostly irrelevant Wikipedia article to make her supporters look crazy!
I tell you, you can't trust anyone these days. Especially those godless liberals who hate Sarah Palin.
To be fair, at most of those contests, more people are trying to win the Mac than the Windows box, thus making the amount of time to breach a largely uninteresting metric when it comes to determining how secure the OS is.
People keep saying this, despite the fact that:
- Each platform is opened up for attack one at a time, and the "time to pwn" is measured from the time it is opened up to attack.
- There is a large cash prize ($15k IIRC) on top of that Macbook. If someone were really interested in the prizes, they'd go for the easiest target in an attempt to get the cash. In this case, even if the contest *were* set up as a big "attack whatever you want" free-for-all, they *still* go after the Mac first, which would imply that it is the easiest target.
Oh, and one of the reasons this will NEVER get to the level of a Windows problem is simple: Macs don't have a "Registry", in the sense that Windows does.
Yeah, because we all know that malware didn't exist until Microsoft invented the system registry./rolls eyes
You say like it's a rhetorical question. Have you ever taken any free medical advice from your parents ("Stay in bed, son.")? Didn't double check with the certified doctor, did you?
Don't be an idiot. That logic is so poor it barely even qualifies as a strawman.
My only question to you: How much compensation do you receive from Apple in return for hijacking entire threads in EVERY Apple-related story and most Android-related ones as well?
Obviously that Tea Party has now been fully co-opted by the mainstream GOP, noecons and social conservatives, but I'd really have more respect for the left if they at least tried the same thing on their side.
Oh, that's right, because things like the Green party aren't *exactly* that. I'd have more respect for morons like you if you didn't make shit up to support your already preconceived notions.
What is this hero worship of Obama?
The only people "worshipping" Obama are the false flag conservatives like yourself that paint him as some sort of saint for the progressives. Believe it or not, a lot of us are very disappointed in a lot of what he's done. That said, he's still better than any of the douchebags you'd have voted for.
It would take a pretty damned die-hard fanboy to be defending them at this point.
Sadly, there are still tons of them out there. It's pretty bad here on Slashdot, but nothing compared to Sony's own PSN forums. Now *there's* a good place to get a glimpse of "beaten wife" psychology.
If you control 90% of the wealth, you should pay 90% of the taxes. It's as simple as that.
The reason our top 1% pays a larger percentage of the total tax revenue than Europe's top 1% is because of the RIDICULOUS DISPARITY between our top 1% and bottom 99% compared to the rest of the western world.
Anyone who is near or at the limit of being thrown into a higher tax bracket because of an idea like yours is going to do the most natural response: Keep themselves just shy of that limit.
I quit reading after this because you, and anyone else that thinks this way, DO NOT UNDERSTAND TAX BRACKETS.
Poor = you will never be financially secure, no matter how long you forgo cable TV or electronic crap, without getting exceptionally lucky. (e.g. winning the lottery, making a killing on a risky stock, etc) You will probably not be able to take a yearly vacation, or any sort of vacation, really, without financial hardship -- and that's if your job even allows you to take the time off. You will always be one layoff or one major illness away from being out on your ass.
Of course, to people like you, anyone who is "poor" just didn't work hard enough, or didn't save their money well enough, or had *some* failing that you, yourself, didn't have. Because it's all their fault, and they just aren't as good as you -- they're greedy, entitled people who just want to steal your money through taxes.
Just because you can define someone as "not as poor as an African dirt farmer" doesn't mean they're not poor.
You're generally an "Islamists are teh ebil!" type though, so I doubt if this will change your already made-up mind. You can probably rationalize both of those links as being "liberal media misinformation."
2% of my income over the last 15 years would add up to tens of thousands of dollars. I can say, with certainty, that I'd have rather had it in my pocket than being used to blow up some other nation's kids, and create PTSD victims with substance abuse problems out of a bunch of our own.
This probably explains why we have so many people in prisons, because it's a fascination that many of my law-abiding co-citizens share and many of my not-law-abiding co-citizens don't share.
