The bailout were not necessary and I never agreed with you. In fact they were pure evil. The government picked winners and losers and didn't apply the conditions of the bailouts fairly. Did you know for instance that Washington Mutual was NOT bailed out and instead a backroom deal was brokered with Chase Bank to buy the assets of pennies for the dollar even though the market was ready to pay more? If the government saw that solution in one instance, why not apply it to all instances?
Are you done? I didn't say any of those things. I actually support regulation of monopolies. I just want transparent regulation that isn't just tilted to a few special interests.
Interstellar was a shitty, overly long movie, with great visuals and a shallow american plot....I truly do not understand what people liked about this movie except for the visuals.
1) A dystopian future (which seems pre-requisite for most sci-fi genre)
2) A small hint of hope for a better life after the environmental disaster
3) Unexplained phenomenon that adds intrigue
4) Future tech that is well advanced but unable to save them
5) Fallible characters due to self preservation taking over instead of altruism
6) Space travel which is currently impossible but very much desired
7) Time effects of black holes confirmed
8) Time travel through signalling
9) Reunification of family and salvation of mankind for the foreseeable future
Just because the App store is 10 years old doesn't make it a milestone. A Milestone is an achievement or progress or a checkpoint. Making it to 10 years in it's own walled garden ecosystem where it's own policies dictates its existence is not a milestone.
Apparently it is. So here is the deal. I worked at several small-medium size businesses that owned their own phone systems. They would set up the phone system so that whichever line called out, the caller ID would show the 800 number. This is a legitimate use of overriding the Caller ID. The problem is that Telcos don't expend any effort whatsoever to validate that the number being sent is actually a legitimate number and is associated with the business/person in question. Really, there should be some sort of verification process similar to that for obtaining an SSL Certificate for a website where you validate that you own the number you are sending. Then you can only send that number and no some other number unless you go through the verification process again.
I'm a Republican/Libertarian and I wanted the companies to be allowed to fail. The bailouts were the problem. Failure needs to hurt otherwise people just keep doing the same things over and over again.
Woosh. You can definitely "win" an argument in that you win over popular opinion. Logical fallacies are actually excellent ways to win over many audiences. More informed and logical audiences will not be swayed.
Calling Elon Musk a scam artist would be a simple assertion if it occurred in a vacuum. However, context matters and if you post this in an article where Elon is saying that Tesla will do great in the future then the assertion is actually and argument used to dismiss Elon's argument. In this case, it is an ad hominem.
If you're application is that big and that important and having downtime is unacceptable, you operate an active-active architecture in two geographically separated data centers. Then the only thing that is going to cause an outage is if you have poor change control on configuring the routing rules.
There is a pretty simple solution here. Don't get offended at what anonymous people who never met you in real life say on the Internet. That's your choice and you are in control. On the flip side, you get real feedback on ideas. If you ask a question with a genuine desire to know the answer, you are more likely to find it on an anonymous forum.
Actually the tricky part about trolling is it all has to do with intent, which is unknowable except by the Troll and God. However, making ad hominem arguments is still a horrible way to win any argument.
I was just asking an honest question. A simple yes or no would have sufficed. Instead you lead in with a Red Herring. I know what fallacies are bro and your attack was an ad hominem.
I haven't used them since they bought up Cingular. However, obviously they don't think they will lose very many customers with this change so maybe competition isn't as robust as you think.
So basically all the things people were worried about came true? Reduce competition for one of the most evil an unethical corporations out there and they raise prices and remove perks. Who could have seen this coming?

It was a joke. I was being obtuse on purpose for the comedic effect.
He didn't even see USB-C coming. How can I trust anything he says now?
If person A is trying to imprison person B for life and person B pulls a gun on them, who is the one exercising self defense?

Yep, nothing to see here. Move along.
The blackmail is the collateral for these people joining the powerful secret societies. People sell their souls to the devil for power and influence.

I don't think the Chans are morally bankrupt because of the language; I think they are morally bankrupt because of the REKT and Scat WEBM posts.

AT&T breaches contract all the time. They know that small businesses can't retain lawyers and they will not be sued.

I even met my future ex-wife on my BBS.
Don't ever speak to my future ex-wife's son like that.

Yep. This is why 4Chan ends up being way more civilized than you would otherwise expect. Morally bankrupt but civilized.

It doesn't. It has to do with the Mergers.

Can you ship to Sweden?
Funniest thing I read all day. Thanks for that.
Do you call everyone you disagree with an idiot?
So, Dilbert in real life?
