- As has been pointed out _numerous_ times prior in these comments, identifying the release of Mr. Comey's personal memo as a 'leak' is misleadingly (and I think intentionally) implying that its release is illicit, which it is not. This is trollery and a clear intent to mislead, plain and simple.
- With regard to Mr. Snowden's comment, there is no rule against what Mr. Comey did, so his comment is stupid.
Here, though, where Bernie Sanders - who's a 120 leagues left of any other elected Democrat - smeared Hugo Chavez as a "dead communist dictator". Here, where Chavez is 360 leagues to the right of Castro....
You're onto something. Castro is exactly in line with Chavez (as you say 360 degrees, one full turn).
The only one that's off is '120 degrees to the left of any other elected democrat'. Which is, again, pretty much right on top of Castro, 'authoritarian asshole with a justification', going further left of that takes you back into right wing.
In what system of angular measurement are _leagues_ interchangeable with _degrees_? I am familiar with _leagues_ only as a linear unit, not an angular one.
+1. Agree wholeheartedly. A sealed design greatly reduces the device's usable lifespan and is a horrible design approach for a rechargeable device for that reason.
I am a heavy user of a Galaxy Note 3, and I've bought several spare and replacement batteries since I got it. When I finally replace it, it will not be with another Samsung device; I'm switching over to the LG V line, which still employs a removable battery.
Who will be responsible for tracking how many times people have asked to be 'forgotten'? And does the one-Mulligan rule apply to each 'forgettable' incident, or do you only get one 'forget' overall, or is there some formula to be applied?
I think he wasn't saying 'welfare blacks' and 'poor whites', but rather 'before welfare[,] blacks and poor whites'. So he wasn't expressing an equivalence between 'welfare blacks' and 'poor whites' but rather an equivalence between (all) blacks and 'poor whites'.
For the longest time they ran a CDMA market on 800 in some places, and some GSM in others. I think. And I think they were in the process of moving everything over to GSM-HSxPA/4GLTE when they got acquired. Their coverage maps look suspiciously identical to T-mo's now.
As an aside, do you really think there is any real possibility of a split Lib/Green ticket? You'd have to completely disregard a lot of history and long-term deep ideological disagreement to think such a thing at all practically possible.
Thanks. Given the # of bits I transcieve it wouldn't save me much on a couple of my lines, but i might be able to save on a couple of them. Having been bought out by T-mo, do they still maintain a separate network or have they completely been migrated/merged into T-mo's GSM/LTE networks?
How is Metro's data service and coverage? I ruled them out when last I looked because their coverage and data speeds were not commensurate to my needs. Even now I've heard their coverage is spotty outside the urban cores and their LTE data speeds are relatively quite slow. On their cheapest plan they throttle after 500 MB, which wouldn't get me through a week, and their fullly unlimited data plan is $60/line, which wouldn't save me anything over what I'm paying (I pay about $50/line for five unlimited lines).
Indeed. I made this point earlier. This entire post seems like a case of someone starting from a position of incomplete knowledge and assuming on that inadequate basis that he's smarter than everyone else.
It makes sense to BYOD to T-mo; but no other (postpaid) carrier gives you BYOD credit on your monthly payment. You pay the same irrespective of the subsidy provided for your device.
So if I know I'm probably not going to change carriers over the next 22 months why would I pay full price for the device?
In short, accepting the subsidy makes sense unless you are on T-mo, are on a prepaid/MVNO carrier that provides cheaper service, or you think it more likely than not that you'll want to change carriers over the contract period.
We're talking about human activities, interactions and social norms here, based on human sentiments and preferences, which are subjective, by definition. I don't know any Vulcans or androids; do you?
The judgment that their presentation was douche-y *is* a subjective one. But *all* judgments about what constitutes polite or proper social behavior, etc. are subjective, and all social norms are at most intersubjective/interconsensual, by definition. So I wasn't using 'certainly' to mean 'objectively'--there is no 'objectively' in such cases.
I was using it to mean something like 'something all reasonable, reasonably civilized people, appropriately socialized to know how to behave in our common western/American culture, should agree constituted thoughtless douchebaggery.'
Now, of course, you may disagree with this opinion. People (particularly douche-y, usually youngish men who don't know how to interact with women) often do. That is why things like this keep happening, and probably always will.
Indeed. Whether what the guys did was sexist or objectifying, or any other classification you want to split hairs about, it *certainly* constituted insensitive, thoughtless douchebaggery.
I am constantly astounded that people defend this sort of thing.
Dudebros wanna be dudebros, that's fine. But time and place, people!
I don't know anyone who opposes intolerance against any given group who grounds that opposition in some sort of general principle that intolerance per se is unacceptable. The very proposition is completely inane if you only think about it for a second.
So this is a strawman argument, and you are either being disingenuous or are just logically challenged.
Framed the way you frame it the proselytizer is more ethical. But I don't care. He's acting from a sincere wish to help me, but he's also acting based on nonsensical/insane beliefs. I just want him to take his crazy the fuck away from me.
Perfectly understandable that a developer might feel this way.
What isn't understandable is when the developer bitches and moans in an attempt to elicit sympathy when Apple assf*cks him, as he knew might happen going in.
If you make a conscious choice to be a whore, it doesn't make a lot of sense to complain when your pimp rapes you.
Exactly. In preparation for seeing the movie I read a lot of fan and professional reviews, and it seemed like the blue penis was mentioned in every second one I read.
We are becoming a nation of pantywaists. We have long been a nation of crypto-prudes.

You seem to be confused.

Or the people who don't want this to happen started the practice the next day to eventually lead to this story to make the situation more visible?
Even if people are making bad-faith requests just for the purpose of highlighting the flaws in the law/process, those flaws remain nonetheless.
