Until you are a member of a group who must constantly put up with abuse and discrimination, your analysis is worthless. I am a white man and I have seen first hand the kind of shit my type does to darker people and to those of the other gender. Open your eyes. It isn't just that "protected classes" are crybabies. They are actual victims of actual abuse and discrimination on a daily fucking basis. Your jealousy over their "special treatment" is akin to wanting the money someone "won" in a lawsuit for being sexually abused for decades - it isn't fucking worth it. And until you suffer similarly, you'll never understand.
You've done a very fine job of refuting the shill's post. Unfortunately, we still have Rand Paul spouting similar nonsense at places like Howard University.
With that "Why do you hate America" answer, I think we can end the debate here.
Way to reply without anything. You spew about vindictiveness and jealousy. If you don't like them, fine - don't patronize them. But spending time ranting and raving accomplishes nothing. Chill out.
I bought a sony dvd player that plays all the regions on amazon for like $30. so I could import cheap doctor who/ torchwood box sets.
I did the same for Bergerac, because it's not available in USA format. The DVD player even converts PAL to NTSC since the Bergerac DVDs are in PAL format.
Apple was "more than a little troubled that AppGratis was pushing a business model that appeared to favor developers with the financial means to pay for exposure.
As opposed to their somehow having managed to con local news into covering every stinking Apple Store opening even though retailers and service centers throughout Apple's history have provided the exact same services that the Apple Store provides, for the same price?
Oh, so Apple cons the local news? Conspiracy theory much? Put down your tinfoil hat and open your eyes. You're blinded by your own hate.
You got to see this in context of Apple's policies. They've been known to exclude journalists from events because they've said things Apple didn't like.
It's not just that Apple has a reputation for being petty and vindictive. Apple wants that reputation in the industry, so people dependent on them (or dependent on writing about them) talk them up on their own initiative, or at least abstain from criticism.
In that light "complaining about a rejection in public doesn't improve your chances of getting allowed back" must be understood as what it is: a threat. If the app approval process was merely a matter of objectively interpreting the rules, the converse statement ("complaining about a rejection in public doesn't hurt your chances of getting allowed back") would be just as true, and why would they bother to say it then?
But the converse isn't true. The app store guidelines aren't interpreted objectively or fairly, they're interpreted with the customary Apple vindictiveness and jealousy. And they want app developers to know.
Wow. What a lot of anger. Can't you find anything interesting in your life to do other than rant against Apple?
really? Do you think 'it is value and appeal is pretty dubious' is correct? Seems to me that a possessive 'it' is correct, rather than what was posted.
Talk about a knee jerk reaction.
Interesting. My son was once stopped at the metal detectors because of a gum wrapper in his pocket set it off. The TSA guy claimed he saw it all the time.
Oh, I missed that you were an Atheist. My bad, you're obviously not a dumbfuck, then. I think loud mouths of either type are annoying. But on your point of "divine edict," I find that to be nonsense. It's just a justification for being a dick.
Wrong. Atheists are just trying to educate you, without a divine edict. It's not my fault you resist education (and hence, choose to remain dumbfucks).
Well, I've just had a look at the birth rates of various countries and it doesn't look good for christians! The two countries with the highest percentage of christians are Vatican City and the Pitcairn Islands (both with 100% christian) and as far as I can tell, they have zero births between them!
Extrapolating those two data points, I predict that in about 80 years or so, there will be zero christians born.
because at least loud mouth Christians think they are doing what they are supposed to by divine edict.
loud mouth atheists are just doing it to be dicks.
The only thing in your list of quotes that watrants a response is "pray for" as it is requesting action from you. A simple I don't believe in the super natural will allow things to.move on with aggressively being a dick (as atheists tend to want to be smug dicks).
No, Atheists are just trying to educate you dumbfucks.
I think the great thing about House of Cards is that it's the first TV Series I've seen that didn't have to go through all the censors or ratings boards whatsoever. I think this allows them to make it more true to life. There's swearing, drugs, violence, and even some brief nudity. Also, because it wasn't made for TV, each episode is exactly as long as it needs to be. It rarely seemed like they added content simply because they needed to make the episode longer.
So, you never saw Weeds, The Sopranos, or countless others on the cable networks?
While I agree with you for the most part, I must point out that when you say something is "complete bullshit" that means every part of it is bullshit which as you pointed out isn't true in this case. You'd have been better served to say "mostly bullshit".
No, I believe he means that the parts that are bullshit, are completely bullshit (and not just halfway to bullshit).
Ancient bible manuscripts going back 1000 years even use the abbreviation Xc for Jesus Christ in the New Testament.
"XC" is still an abbreviation for Christ alone, since it's the first and the last letters - chi and sigma - of the Greek word "CHristoS". There is a tradition of contracting certain commonly used "holy names" in Christian Greek manuscripts, dating back to the very beginning of the movement. You can also tell that it's a abbreviation because it's written with a bar above the word.
The complete abbreviation for "Jesus Christ" would be ICXC (IesouS CHristoS). It can be seen on most Orthodox icons of Christ.
No, the abbreviation should be ICHDXC, as in IesouS HaploiD ChristoS.
Haters cannot acknowledge anything good about Apple.
I can, and I do (as said previously) but I also live here in reality, where I realize that Apple is engaging in prevarication. I have a long history with Apple, I was a Mac user for many years, so I have good reason to hate Apple. No one who is not a total fanboy would spend as much effort as you are defending Apple's prevarication. I am not a fan of any corporations. Except maybe Clif. I don't even like Clif bars, but they treat their employees right.
Bull. They are not prevaricating. And only a rabid hater would spend so much time perpetuating that lie.
I'll believe that when they stop selling "Apple" computers and start selling OSX for "Foxconn" computers. Until then, it's all a load of bullshit, since the work they've contracted isn't being done with renewable power.
So, like I said, you're just a hater. All their power needs for their operations is what the article is about. Not all the power used by all subcontractors in the manufacturing chain back to when the stuff was dust. Haters cannot acknowledge anything good about Apple. If Tim Cook said he wiped his ass north to south, you'd be shouting it should be south to north.
No one did that. The act of moving to more renewable power is laudable. The act of lying about it is reprehensible.
Actually just about everyone in this thread did that, and they lauded nothing. Typical of the haters who hate no matter what. There was no lie. Their power is from renewable. They are not claiming that everything in their supply chain (including the mining of rare earth metals) is from renewables.

This "no-promotion" and "no buying of rankings" is no different from Google's "no links for money" policy.
But, but, Apple is evil.

You forgot to call him a Grammar-Nazi Nazi.

what if you play it backwards??
That's the sound of The Big Crunch.
Sell Tesla.
Use funds for college.
Minor detail: if you have a loan against that car, they hold the pink slip. Good luck selling it without one.

Regardless of the system, an incompetent privileged user is always going to be a vulnerability.
And that's why the malware problem on Android is so bad - the users are more incompetent than the iOS users.

But you forgot to count born-again Christians.

Why not? Atheism is affirmative belief ("faith") in the absence of God(s).
If you're trying to describe the absence of belief, the word you're looking for is "agnostic."
Most Agnostics are Atheists without the balls to admit it.

I do hate Apple.
Thanks for finally conceding my point. All your arguments have been rendered invalid.

Leave it to the haters to spin this as a negative. Get a life.
