A lot of those, "WOW LOOK AT OUR PRICE" is usually still higher than I can get it somewhere else.
Competition is good, right?
That said, I'll still shop at a mom & pop store with better service for a few bucks more than a big chain since -- especially on big ticket items, since I know that if I have an issue with it, they'll still be there to talk to me, whereas the 16 year old who sold me that TV at best buy has moved to the produce section.
This is what I came here to say. I mean, I realise they say 'billions served' which means there's a whole lot of fucking morons in that collection, but at what point in your lifetime were you even asked to give McDonald's any of your information? Every single interaction with me and McDonald's in my lifetime has been:
1) Order 2) Pay 3) Receive 'food' 4) Consume 'food' 5) Regret eating 'food' 6) Spend more time on the throne than I would have liked to.
Fortunately, the last few steps have prevented me from going back there too often. Which was tougher when our son was younger and less discerning.
The fact of the matter remains your rights as Americans are being trampled all over, and you're being treated like criminals regardless of whether you are one or not.
And your world image is suffering (again) because of it. And your tourism industry is no doubt feeling the effects of it, too.
Whether they're Libertarian, Democrats, or Republicans shouldn't matter. What the TSA is doing is wrong, and what you just typed is completely fucking irrelevant.
Yea, because this parade of perceived 'security' is actually going to do anything other than piss off and upset travellers. The people who want to hurt you will find a way, or get through anyway.
This nonsense is nothing more than theatrics, and it's why I won't fly to the US. I can't imagine tourism isn't taking a hit.
In Ontario, we have a series of highways called the 400-series highway. The busiest being the 401.
I was driving on the 401 to check out a house my parents were considering buying, and they wanted my input.
So I typed in the address into google maps, and printed the resulting directions.
Google's directions had me crossing the meridian, driving the wrong way on the divided highway for ~40m, and then taking the off-ramp in the other direction, instead of the correct way, which is to take the same exit on my side of the highway, and stay right at the fork.
Naturally, it's fixed by now, but at the time, like all big companies, finding a way to tell somebody at google what it was doing was stupid and potentially unsafe was damned near impossible. I was just met with 30 pages whose obvious sole job was to prevent me from getting a real form to type a message to a real human being.
Despite crawling through loops to help them improve THEIR service, I got a generic, form letter response, and the issue wasn't fixed until some time later.
At least in my case, I've found that google's search results have gotten progressively more useless over the last 2-3 years.
I search for a linux issue I'm having, the only hits I get are ubuntu users in 2004.
I search for applications for my wife's phone, it's almost 100% adware sites, and 0% useful download links.
My google search usage is going down steadily. If I want to know about a company/famous person/whatever, it's en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.
Info on movies, actors, etc? imdb.
Looking for directions? Mapquest. Google maps has gotten me lost on countless occasions. (By doing such things as telling me to get off a highway by crossing the meridian, and exiting on the onramp for the opposite direction.)
I don't know whether it's just me, google has thinned out the effort going into their searches in favour of their (many) other endeavours, or if they're just not evolving as fast as the assholes who want to try and monetize my searches for completely unrelated shit.
But I bought one of those table top doohickeys they sold on infomercials. (The one with the 40L water jug being dropped on it to show its strength), and I put my laptop on that. It works quite well, and the boys remain cool as cucumbers.

lose != loose.
Just to clarify: you're having a one-off issue with an application that nobody else has, and it's Android's fault?
Right, just checking.
When I set an alarm on my android, it even says, "alarm is set for hours from now."
And then it goes off as planned.
Atwood is braindead.
This is not an argument FOR java. This is an argument against it.
I got just a few sentences into the article and I noticed that their writers couldn't distinguish "it's" from "its".
So I closed the tab.

More threads on the Internet of people going, 'I can't find ucide-34235.fw' and 'why doesn't my wireless card work?!'

I think this is the one I saw. It was a LONG time ago.
Nice to see updates though.
But I'll be damned if I can remember where. This guy went through all sorts of really cool data, not just the world's health vs income.
Yea, the pirates who inevitably beat it.
Why didn't they notify me when they were searching for their test subjects?
Still giving a fuck what a borderline moron has to say.
What an electrifying story! I bet those thieves are in for a jolt when they're charged with wire theft.
I'm not a doctoral candidate, and I could have told you that.
Facebook's primary objective is data collection and selling it to marketers. It's kind of what they do.
OK, lets say everything you just typed is true.
Who cares?

Car companies have to be able to prove that any modification you made directly lead to the failure of any part before they can deny warranty coverage.

Many terminal emulators include the option of creating or not creating a TTY to attach to when you run them.
Start a terminal and type w. You might find a pts terminal for each terminal you are running.
"Windows NT name size limits .... find out how much you know where it really counts."
Unless it's multiple choice, and "who the fuck cares?" is an option, does not compute.
They've invented a new system.
1. Write program to steal information.
2. ????
3. Profit!
4. Steal card information with said program.
5. ????
6. PROFIT AGAIN!
Then /. would be the place on the Internet with the most (knuckle)children as opposed to the least.
