Oooooh burn!!! Ah, I have one too: I know you are but what am I?
I know, it's all part of the plan to antagonize and sow hate. It's okay we get it. We understand your motives. I just hope your getting paid for it because it's a pretty pathetic way to spend your time.
Here's the deal: give me all your possessions. Now. Unconditionally. At a cost that I feel is reasonable. Say no, and you'll keep pushing me to steal your possessions. Your call.
Powerful stuff. Really.
If you don't like the terms under which something is for sale, you don't buy it. In what bizarro universe do you live that if someone doesn't sell something to you at the price you think is reasonable you just take it? Content isn't a God Given right. It's just a product that for sale. It's up to your with your first-world problems to figure out if you want to pay for it.
What's next? If you mention something illegal in conversation, you can be reported, arrested, tried, convicted, and sent to prison?
This is the comment of a person that's run out of real problems to worry them and are now inventing fantastical ones to fulfill some deep seated need to be threatened. They took away the money he made by selling access to IP he didn't own (and yes, if he collected ad revenue, that's selling it). How terrible.
Regardless of how you feel about movie piracy, actually selling someone else's IP takes it to a new level.
How about the thousands of engineers and support staff? You know, the people that actually had something to do with this being successful?
Everyone else out there is just trying to scam and suck as much money as they can out of human civilization before the lights go out.
Because SpaceX is a non-profit corporation, right?
He is trying to give us a sustainable energy future
This one really made me laugh. Think about the enormous amounts of energy that were consumed, and the pollutants spewed into the atmosphere for that launch. Rocket flight is anything but sustainable or good for the environment.
By the way, the testing topic is linked to why I have doubts about the economic utility of the reusable boosters. They add a great deal of weight and complexity to the launch vehicles, but the costs of testing and repairing them for another flight are comparable to producing new equipment. I think it might be better to focus on ways of producing the new equipment less expensively for single use.
That's the thing with commercial ventures. You can be assured that if it wasn't profitable they wouldn't be doing it.
I'm not saying anything based on two data points. If you're ready to draw conclusions on that we are going to have to revoke your Windows Vista login password.
I'll leave you with this. If 1000 people look at the sky and see the full moon, and another reports a gigantic fire breathing dragon, does that mean the night sky is inconsistent?
Sorry, I'd love to comment on your story, but I'm not paying the WSJ for the privilege.
Please pick from the list below:
1. I hate ads. I'd rather pay for my content directly. 2. I don't mind ads. I'd rather see ads then pay for content. 3. The artists, IT folks, and so on that produced the content do not deserve to be compensated.
I can't do anything with the app until I respond to the popup
I just started the app and I don't see that popup. I can't recall ever seeing it.
Let me hit Skip. OK, now it's a bunch of recommendations. My music library is nowhere to be seen.
1. Start app 2. Hamburger menu 3. Select "Music Library"
These covers consist of a gray box with a darker gray circle containing a music note in them for 90% of my library, because it doesn't recognize the CD I ripped.
The only part of my lib that has missing art are singles for which there is no album (but I guess it could look up the album that contains that song) and audio books that I uploaded (but actually it found the cover with the audiobooks for most of them). You probably f'ed up your rips and didn't include meta data.
Underneath each is the label JUST KIDDING, no it's about 14 characters from the start of the label.
On my device, it's 21 characters for the title and much more for the artist. I don't see the problem. It's a compromise between fitting and many elements on the screen as possible and providing enough information to identify the element.
so let me use the search. I try "Beethoven symphony 6" and I get.... directed to... some Beethoven "radio station"?
I search for an artist for which there's an album in my library. The first entry was an "artist" link. The second was a list of albums, for which my album was the first in the list.
You mean Google Play Music? Or are we talking Youtube? Or maybe Youtube Music? Or are we talking about the new streaming service they are building (seriously): https://www.theverge.com/2017/...
My question: is there anyone here that fails to see the problem with this marketing strategy?
So they are using the Linux Kernel, but yet their license looks nothing like the GNU license?
That comment makes me wonder if you understand how software licensing works at all. They are following all the rules that allow them to make use of the GPL. How is that "bastardizing" GNU? It's exactly the opposite of that actually.
If I wanted to be locked-in with an OS and other services, I'd buy Apple products.
What does that it even mean? Locked into an OS? You're locked in to ChromeOS just as much as you are if you start learning and accumulating software for any OS.
I'd buy Apple products
Based on your rantings (trolling) I'd have to assume you are pro-OSS. Most of ChromeOS is open source. Go download the MacOS kernel. Let me know how that goes.
are not a search company trying to get all my data so they can mine personal information about me then sell it.
When we did that in 2016 you all threw a giant shitfit about it. You don't really think that people voted for Trump just because there was an R next to his name... do you?
Thanks for making my point. You can't even imagine a world where a pro-NN person would not be a bleeding heart liberal ("you all", lol).
Either that or your just a troll. Anyway, you're irrelevant to us normal folk either way.
Of course, nobody cares about power grabs when it is a grab for power one likes, like net neutrality, but hate it when it is for what one doesn't like, like net neutrality.

The truth is that people simply do search for these things - "are jews nice?" and "are jews evil?"
While that's believable, with what are you backing up that assertion?
Oooooh burn!!! Ah, I have one too: I know you are but what am I?

Competition is good.
Hi troll. We see you and aren't falling for it.

The problem is Hollywood.
It's as much of a problem for you as any other entity that produces poor quality products. You just don't buy them.
The problem here is people assuming easy access to quality movies, on their terms, is a god-given right.
There was actually a time when they created *original* movies like "Predator" and "Aliens", and showed them for less than $10.
There was also a time when a candy bar was a nickle.
Future interns will have to sign away even more of their rights
What rights are they signing away now? The right to steal company IP and distribute it on the internet?
Sure, but his friends must have thought he was pretty awesome. It was worth it.
THE ONLY FUCKING PERSON.

From the mouths of babes.
and a screenshot feature borrowed from Android
OMFG the screenshot feature is ready? Ship it!
I wonder when they'll extend their definition of "to misbehave" to include people who are critical of their services/policies...
"I wonder..." is what you get when there are no real problems left to worry about.
Lately every decision involving YouTube has been a turn for the worse.
Yes, because delisting a 'tard that shows a dead body on his channel was a terrible thing, cuz censorship bad!

If that were true then people wouldn't be screaming about how the Republicans are evil for repealing Net Neutrality
I think people are smart enough to draw their own conclusions.
The proposal put forth by the Obama FCC was atrocious.
First time I've heard that. Out here in the real world you have to qualify your comments. Disregarded.
It's clear most people advocating for the FCC Net Neutrality rules have no idea what they say or what they will mean.
I'm just glad we have smart people like you to lead us dumb people and tell us what to do.
Is purchasing from a non-legit source illegal, for the purchaser? Or just illegal for the seller?
Citing information would seriously degrade his TPH (trolls per hour). Not going to happen.
Of course, nobody cares about power grabs when it is a grab for power one likes, like net neutrality, but hate it when it is for what one doesn't like, like net neutrality.

You ought to try it, comrade.
Has anyone addressed the supposed two other times he performed this feat in public? Once at CES IIRC?
Link it.
