Someone is wrong on the internet! And now all those random anonymous people who post on IMDB mean I'll never watch another movie again!
If IMDB was so important to the success of a movie wouldn't there be evidence of every major hollywood movie being hyped there by millions of paid shills?
Also, before reading a review of any product/service with a server/support component, be skeptical of any scores for services which may be interrupted in the case of a negative review.
Poor(er) people think that way. If you're rich, you have the luxury of getting what you want, and not having to have the cheaper stuff; of not having to choose between a good product or a good holiday/eating out more/clothing and feeding your kids. Poorer people don't have that choice. And it's not as if the elite/rich people are doing all they can to lift poor people out of poverty. I'd not blame "consumers" for trying to stretch their money as far as possible.
Yeah, sometimes you don't want to have to google apt-get, apt, dpkg etc. Sometimes you just want to install a fucking piece of software. That is, copy files from the download folder into some other folder so you can run them. I have no idea why handling dependencies is such a pain in the ass that involves needing to understand several tools. Sometimes the best answer to "it's always been that way" is "well, do it a newer, better way then".
People always say stuff they don't mean. If it's cheap enough, they'll buy it. It's like fast food, sausages etc. It's full of all sorts of shit. But some people enjoy eating it, and it's cheap. Give 'em no other affordable choice and you'll get a different answer.
Exactly. Nobody gives a shit about security, because nobody believes anyone's interested in their idle chit chat, and people are perfectly comfortable with the police (or whoever) trawling digital data to solve crime. Most people use facebook because other people use it. Even google couldn't get people to use google+ (which showed that "better" doesn't trump "everything else is using facebook". Firewalls etc aren't important because people use their phones/tablets to chat, typically over 4g. Fault tolerant? Facebook's usually up (to the point that it's news if it's down for more than a minute) and chitchat can wait.

Why did he wait until his first day? We all know the answer to this one. Had he thought it would have increased his chances of getting a job in the first place he'd have mentioned it in the interview. All things being equal, you're going to hire the guy who's going to be able to devote more of his time and attention to the job. How is this remotely controversial?
>The fact that they just need a few photos relating to one incident is irrelevant. To preserve them as evidence they will have to do a forensic extraction that can't be questioned (e.g. photoshopping) in court. Typically they will also look for evidence of any other crimes, because there is always some. Even if it's just a dodgy banner in the browser cache somewhere, they like to throw a few random child porn or terrorism charges in too, as punishment.
This has never happened, though. It's just web page comment filler. There are enough problems with the legal system without inventing anything.

The wonderful VS IDE for debugging, as opposed to the piece of shit retro crap that is GDB? I hate Windows and all it stands for, but let's not kid outselves that it's time to flush that dated bollocks down the toilet and do some sensible debugging.
What does "I myself" add which just saying "I" lacks?
I spend a little money on apps but I think the point with Android is you don't have to. I don't know what Apple owners are spending money on but I think it's great you can get a reasonably cheap Android device and can go months/years without having to buy an app; it means the OS and free apps/games are doing the job. Why spend money on stuff you don't need when you can save it for something you can justify? And in case you were wondering, Android is still miles ahead of Apple in terms of market share, so it's not as if people are going to suddenly stop developing for Android (it's always been this way).
It means that, like facebook messenger, it'll go from an app which lets you select a contact to start/continue a conversation with, to an app where the contact list is interrupted with irrelevant lists of who's online now (who cares?) and people you might know (huh?), before finally changing and being always one wrong press away from launching the camera and letting you add retarded shit like rainbows and stickers to photos. You'd have to be either a moron or 13 years old to appreciate it. I stopped using facebook messenger when this happened and it looks like i'm going to have to stop using whatsapp soon too. Who knows what to, though. Signal, perhaps, or just email maybe.
Why would the powerful care about people hanging around in fancy dress in the streets? That's not going to take back power from anyone. You might feel they're doing something, but they're not. They might as well be shopping for all the difference it makes.
Just create another Android account (for example) with plausible looking contacts, a second facebook account etc, then when they ask to see it just hand it over. Go back to the real one once you're in
Whenever i looked at imdb for help decide whether or not to watch a movie the comments were useless and no help whatsoever. They won't be missed other than by the people who posted there (a tiny fraction of the number of users).
There's a limit beyond which you can't prevent idiots spoiling things. Slashdot has a moderation system but it's shit, because the power is in the hands of the users, and users are stupid. You can't only handle the problem by not having loads of users. Hacker News is perfect - you'll get flagged and potentially punished even for joking, and idiots get banned, so the conversation is just sensible people - often including people who run sites like github - commenting on things in a way where you'll learn stuff. There's no AI you can use to prevent trolls and idiots and if the site ends up popular it ends like like Slashdot. There's just no solution, just like there's no solution to spam on email (or spam phone calls, sms etc) other than not using email any longer and instead using whitelist only systems like whatsapp, facebook messenger etc.
No-one's apologizing to anyone. There's just a disagreement about 3d. Presumably they still like it - whether you're a moron or not. I don't give a shit about tv - i don't watch very much 2d tv - but i'm sure some of the problems of 3d aren't just that it's 3d, but that you generally have to wear glasses (i've only seen awful glasses-less 3d tv); sometimes expensive ones; you'll likely not have enough for more than a couple of people to watch at once; the brightness is affected, or the frame rate etc. Given 3d was largely a way of selling tvs/more expensive tickets in cinemas, who's to say there won't be either a tech breakthrough in the future or that marketing people believe there's money in it and we'll relive these fascinating little discussions all over again.

"Most employment agreements are such that the company owns it even if it is outside of normal hours."
Not true.

Also, will this stop them asking for Facebook (etc) credentials, regardless of whether or not you have a Facebook-enabled device on you at the time?

They certainly dropped their Scroogled campaign just in time, didn't they!

It obviously isn't that. That already exists. You're going to feel pretty dumb when you work this out. Perhaps start by reading the article?
When you figure out that it isn't then you should start to feel better.

The linux kernel is open source. Why would you treat that the same way as a closed-source, proprietary product?
Because it's harder to investigate criminals that way. If you're taking part in a protest but being anonymous, what are you actually doing there?

Oh great! 4, 64 and 16gb are all sweet spots? Any more? I love opinions!
I guess they just got an executive and some yes-men to work on the name over the weekend for free.
