What's wrong with shouting out an excellent web hosting provider that provides great service and protects users from an overreaching government lawsuit?
I generally don't eat out and I've taken my lunch to work for decades. Every once in a blue moon I'll get orange chicken and white rice at Panda Express.
buy new clothes
I bought four pairs of pants since I lost 10+ pounds this year.
buy a car
If i needed a car, I pay cash for a used car, drive it into the ground and sell it to Pick-N-Pull for $250.
buy a house
My credit union is offering a $1M mortgage with a 5% down payment. Tempting...
travel
I went to Las Vegas in 2013. I'll be going back next year.
The self-driving car pulls to the side of the road, comes to a complete stop, request your AAA membership to call for a tow, and then calls Uber or Lyft to pick you up.
Nope. Next data drop probably won't be until after Labor Day. I'll be surprised if it shows up sooner. I've written enough tech docs for this month.
Or maybe that massive coronary you're speeding towards?
The one I'm supposed to have when I was [10|20|30|40]-years-old? The Great Earthquake is more likely to happen and I've only been waiting 30+ years for that one.
August has been a weird month for sales. No sale for the first ten days. Got 50% of last month's sales in one weekend. No sales for another ten days. Daily sales are picking up now. Not sure if I'll get the other 50% this weekend or the remainder of the month. Click through rate is 50% higher than last month. People are kicking the tires but not buying much.
There goes Facebook's last great hope of rounding up another billion users. According to "Chaos Monkeys: Obscene Fortune and Random Failure in Silicon Valley" by Antonio Garcia Martinez, Facebook only has 2B users left on the planet to sign up before user growth slows to a crawl as the remaining users are in places too remote for the Internet. Whether logged in or browsing anonymously, Facebook combines its own data with third-party demographic data to identify each user. India's privacy ruling might make that difficult. Or maybe not.
I get it.. its not like you can just read things and find out. Internetting is hard.
Not at all. But I like asking a "stupid" questions and seeing what responses I get. You never know when someone else might want to ask the same "stupid" question but is afraid to ask because someone might respond, "Internetting is hard."
If you are "proud" to be fat, or too closed-minded to deviate from conventional diet advice, then by all means ignore it. Your loss.
When I had to take care of my father for two months after he had an episode that put him in the hospital, he had to got a diabetic nutrition class and go on a low-carb diet (150g per day). Since company loves misery, I had to take to him to class and go on the same diet. My father went off of insulin in six months because of the diet. I'm still on the low-carb diet after five years. I recently lost ten pounds and plateaued out at 360 pounds. And life goes on...

What was the question again?
You compensate for your low salary [...]
The same "low salary" that pays all my bills in Silicon Valley?
[...] coming here to trick people out of a few dollars.
The only trick that is going on is that you didn't think of it first.
Your entire personality is one giant compensation.
Yesterday I was a parody, today I'm compensation.
I switched to DreamHost over a year ago. It's been the smoothest running service that I ever had for a web hosting provider. Highly recommend.
[...] and what happens if something goes wrong.

Your "conversation", huh?
Wrong marketing term. I meant conversion rate for turning clicks into sales. Conversation rate is the number of comments per post.
And you do it for the same reasons you do anything on here, to puff up that hollow ego of yours.
You think I come to Slashdot to compensate for something. Meh...
Neither did John Ritter.
Who was a smoker. I've never smoked and I haven't had high blood pressure in 30+ years.
Until it does happen, and then it's too late.
Until then, it's not a concern. I diet and I exercise. I haven't exhibited any heart-related symptoms for 30+ years.
Don't you have better things to do, like work?
Nope. Next data drop probably won't be until after Labor Day. I'll be surprised if it shows up sooner. I've written enough tech docs for this month.

No wonder Node.js is so popular these days...
Glass moon beads for sale! Hurry before they're all gone!! Time to replace that pet moon rock from the 1960's!!!
Which you can get by connecting a very cheap device to the internet and to the TV. A device made by people who actually understand security.
That's where the iPhone app comes into play. ;)
YouTube, Netflx and Hulu, just to name a few.
I wouldn't pay $1,800 for a paperweight.
Because you enjoy being an obnoxious pest - you're 'paid' in notoriety here.
There are easier ways to piss off the trolls. But I like getting paid in cash better for something I'm already doing.

And spare us the '3 billion clicks this month!' bullshit - you and I both know that your conversion rate to actual purchases is nearly zero.)
If my conversation was zero, why would I bother?
The Node Package Manager (NPM) is probably why Node.js is being used with every new JavaScript framework out there.
Plus a kitchen sink with a working garbage disposal is a must have.

Uh, Minesweeper?
I got Red Hat Linux running at home. What does .NET brings to Linux that I couldn't do on my Windows PCS?
