Right. What we want is for it to be riskier to make repetitive schlock than to innovate. Rotten Tomatoes is helping to achieve that goal. Bully for them!
How was it not going to be a terrible movie? Puhleez. I didn't need a Rotten Tomato review to stay away—I stayed away because the very concept was not only offensive but also stupid. Okay, great, making some comic book movies was cool. But at this point it's just gratuitous. There's a reason why comic books work, and there's a reason why comic books as movies is wearing thin. You can't get much story into three acts.
...of your abusive business model, where you make shit films, charge too much for them, trick people into going with clever advertising, and then get laws passed that criminalize format-shifting because you're so afraid that a tiny bit of revenue will slip through your greedy fingers. Even Hollywood accounting can't win in a free market. Man, that really sucks. Your life is so hard.
Soon we will need to host our subs elsewhere. Quite coincidentally, I was just about to start doing that in order to host a private sub, so this doesn't even add an action item to my to-do list.:/
It is kind of weird how out of touch the reddit management is with the users, if they think this will increase, rather than decrease, the number of participants. The reason reddit _works_ is that it's not a social network and they don't sniff your butt all the time the way facebook does. Sigh.
You don't seem to know very much about the topic. Right to repair means that the manufacturer can't lock me out of repairing the device. That's a pretty reasonable ask: I spent the money on the device, it's very much against my interests for there _not_ to be a market for repairs on the device. Might this result in Apple getting sued? Sure, if they lock me out of repairing my device. How is that a bad thing?
...if the appeals court could somehow sanction the lower court for repeatedly finding valid patents that are clearly bogus. I'm just waiting for IBM to sue Microsoft for their new "vacation email" patent.
Yes, because nobody anywhere ever in a position of power was actually misogynist. Puhleeze. Speaking as a 50-year-old former misogynist, I can tell you that it all seems perfectly reasonable until one day you wake up and realize that you were being a complete self-involved asshole. But kids these days, they never listen. They have to see it for themselves.
What frustrates me about a device like this is that there's virtually zero value in having an HDMI port, but an additional USB port would be very useful. These are basically IoT devices, not desktop computers. An RS-485 interface would be handy too.:)
If you think OP is saying up is down, you haven't been paying attention. Or you're not old. Believe me, as a 52-year-old, Hillary looked like a Republican from my yoot, complete with the careful not-talking-about stuff that is uncomfortable. I still voted for her, because better a 1970's republican than a whack job, but let's be honest about who we're electing.
The majority of people are poor, so using a form of transportation that poor people use is pretty natural for them. However, the main problem with most public transport is that it sucks. Where it doesn't, everybody uses it, rich and poor, just like they do the sidewalks.
The thing about this is that I've driven a Tesla, and it's true that if you really put the pedal to the medal, it accelerates like fuck, but it would be really hard to do it accidentally—if you just put your foot on it normally, it doesn't take off on you. Bottom line, this is why we need self-driving cars. It's an absolute tragedy that we rely on human reflexes to avoid accidents.
Quinoa is bloody convenient, but I've never been able to warm up to the taste. A version that didn't have the saponins in it would be a huge improvement. Ain't science wonderful?
It may be that women who don't get hit on wish they got hit on more, but what does that have to do with what I said? I'm talking about women who get hit on a lot. I can tell that you don't have any sympathy for them, but I didn't ask you to have sympathy for them. I just described how it looks from her side. You can do with that description what you want.
You must be amazingly attractive, or else perhaps you are in the closet? I have literally never been propositioned by a gay man in all the time I've lived in and visited the Bay Area, which is closing in on thirty years. I've gotten plenty of interested looks, but never been propositioned. So I'm skeptical of this story. Sounds like what your ego wants to say happened, not what actually happened.
It's hugely useful for that. You can read it in snippets. Reading it as if it were a novel would be about as smart as reading a dictionary that way--not necessarily a terrible use of time, but more of a slog than the average geek is going to be able to manage.
It would be the salvation of the GOP. The GOP was actually a useful party back when we had the fairness doctrine. Bunch of stuffed shirts, but they got shit done and cooperated with Democrats.

If there were a way to do it, yeah. But I don't think the plumbing goes that way—Apple would have to sue the patent office, and I doubt they'd win.

Ayup.

Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands. Not Cuba or Venezuela. Dunno why you'd think that.
Hm, is it by any chance a Volkswagen or an Audi? Are you sure about those carbon numbers?

The Prius is actually pretty zippy, because you get an electric motor _plus_ a gas motor when you punch it.

Just like in A Brave New World! I want to be a Beta. Those Alphas work much too hard. I'm happy to be a Beta.

IOW, you look gay. Wear a loose sweatshirt, man, FFS!
Seriously, how many times have you done that to a woman? If the number is not zero, maybe it's just karma.
A woman who is constantly being propositioned may well see it as normal, but she probably doesn't see it as acceptable.
