    That can only lead to one logical conclusion.

    That only people who aren't susceptible to butthurt fee-fees will continue on in a high-visibility, high-pressure project.

    So what's the problem?

    I don't, but it's on the TODO list actually. I'll keep this in mind.

    Thanks!

    I put this in my tomato "Scripts" section. Basically grabbed all of the dig output for settings-win.data.microsoft.com and vortex-win.data.microsoft.com, cnames, and authorities for them.

    Possibly excessive. I'm ok with that. YMMV.

    They actually "gave" me a 5gHz wifi router (not sure how that part helps, the phone doesn't do 5gHz wifi) to use wifi calling. It's helped a bit, but I had to disable MMS entirely, otherwise every time my mother sent me a stupid cat picture, my phone would drop its wifi connection and I'd miss calls.

    Really freakin' annoying.

    Lastly, T-Mobile is rolling out 700MHz lower A-block spectrum (literally the lowest frequency commercially available for cell service)

    When and where?

    I genuinely want to know. I switched from Sprint to TMo a little while back and the biggest problem is that it gets literally no signal (we're talking battery dead in two hours from the constant searching) inside my girlfriend's apartment. I'm happy with the change otherwise, but that's a big problem (and funky wifi behavior on the phone makes that option less than helpful as a solution)

    LOLOL! That meme has been disproven time and again; and in case you haven't noticed, iOS is no Windows Phone. It still has quite enough marketshare to be a target.

    The only thing "disproven" is any claim you might ever have made about understanding what "security through obscurity" means.

    So not only do you reserve the right to redefine words, but you also claim authority to dictate what's in other people's minds? Shit, and people say I'm arrogant.

    Fact is, he isn't acting or reasoning like a child (seriously what children talk about harassment), and that's not what you were implying.

    Fact is, he is. Treating hearing/seeing/knowing something that you don't as being "victimized" is abrogating the personal responsibility to deal with the world around oneself, and expecting others to change it to suit instead. That is an extremely childish outlook, and part of reaching adulthood is leaving it behind.

    You just don't like the fact that you got busted going against your own ideological dogma.

    Straw man argument. You are arguing that attempts to prevent harassment should be resisted because some imaginary foe of the MRA might try to abuse it.

  18. Re:"save environment for women" on Ada Initiative Organization To End, But Its Work Will Continue · · Score: 2

    You are saying that calling for a workplace free from harassment and threats is actually itself harassment of men. Because men must be free to harass...

    For some exceedingly ridiculous values of "harassment" and "threats" that, somehow, extend to being able to be the victim of these things in spite of being neither a participant nor the target in said "threatening/harassing" behavior, and even being completely ignored is just another form of "harassment by exclusion" or some stupidity.

    all around best browser for everyone but especialy for those of us who work in the IT industry.

    What part of the "IT industry" do you work in that doesn't have any non-technical users who need support every 4-6 weeks because they fucked with the UI.. oh, I'm sorry, the UX... yet again?

    Perhaps as important is that Webkit (Perhaps soon Project Spartan also.) needs competition and Mozilla's Gecko engine is just that, we are entering an age where Webkit will take a huge share of the browser pie so competition and diversity is key to our continued development.

    Then maybe they should focus more on pulling Gecko out of the cesspit it's been marinading in, rather than wallowing in kitchen-sink me-tooism? Just a thought.
