The Linux community can barely decide standards for themselves. Hence PulseAudio/ALSA/OSS/kDX
They barely get OpenGL right. As of this writing, only one machine in my house is capable of running a fully-functional (as in all my standard programs work without any errors) and it is my early '00s machine. Nothing built after 2006 has support for everything.
Try Memphis. Despite the lower population density (across the metro area) we've got people that think it's NASCAR time when it rains, and most have no clue 'How to computer.'
What's really shitty is that HP (not to defend them given my hatred of them) is mostly involved in a nuclear capacity with regards to medicine, not weaponry.
What's funnier is his 180 lbs organic frame couldn't stand a chance against my 140 lbs titanium and kevlar reinforced frame. If he wanted a fight, I'd give it to him and he'd regret it. I'd put my foot so far up his ass the water on my knee would quench his thirst.
Yeats wasn't all that good. My passionate intensity is what put me ahead of the game in horticulture, from zero-light food production to accelerated growth using sea salt and LED.
Those lacking conviction just laughed. Now who's laughing at $13K daily income, plus whatever bonuses and hourly wages I make working part-time at a porno shop?
"The new Mac Book Pro has taken things even further by giving the best resolution available for the money."
Not even close. Modified firmware on my Samsung A550 gives me 5760*3240@60Hz (disables the 3x3 physical pixels per visible pixel grid (adios subpixel rendering) and forces native resolution, one of the hardest hacks I've had to make to date, EDID is a motherfucker to tweak.)
I had to tweak AMD drivers to get it working, but it does, and it's nice, although the GPU is weak as to not be able to play any games in that resolution
Pictures look like I'm looking through glass Text is TINY, so much that I can barely read it on my 32". Apple is WAY behind.
Too bad Samsung won't take my firmware. They could laugh at Apple all the way to the bank.
Survivors of this plague, when paired, produce offspring that are often missing the CCR5 receptor which the majority of HIV strains bind to for infection.
This would (in theory) boost the future population's natural immunity, at least for that segment of the population, and until there's enough of that population to give marrow transfusions to the other population to give them artificial immunity to those strains. Of course, we then have to worry about the strains that work in a different manner, which would begin to become more prevalent.
Just another bandage, but better than having to take a constant supply of drugs!
"If government winked out of existence this evening, what makes you think the RIAA wouldn't start sending out goon squads a minute later."
The fact that we're better armed than the goons, and severely outnumber them? On top of that, no government to enforce murder laws? Shit, we're killing EVERYBODY.
Given that a HUGE portion of porno companies are in California (and I'm willing to bet at least one of these studios is CA-based) this would be Extortion or Criminal Threat.
"Probably better that you just don't comment on stuff you obviously have no clue on."
Well, this statement pretty much proves that you don't know what you're talking about:
"Apple is better than Android in terms of backwards compatibility."
Apple is the king of hardware and software obsolescence. Backwards compatibility? You don't even get to use hardware 3 years old with anything new.
"Apple hardware is available longer on the used market because it's worth more"
No, most people aren't interested in buying used Apple stuff when the equivalent PC hardware is cheaper. This is why Apple products stay on the used market longer, everyone else is buying the same hardware CHEAPER without the Apple tax that EVERYONE insists on levying.

This is an undeserved reputation.
DPI is properly set. The text is tiny because at 3240p @ 32" the lines are razor-sharp.
"If you owe a debt to the government they don't arrest you for it, they take it out of your paycheck."
I can tell you've never had dealings with the IRS.
"(remember that non-residential customers often get charged more per kWh"
Um, no. Typical industrial rate (SoCal) 7 cents per kWh. Residential rate ~13 cent per kWh.
"Nobody smokes and passes 4 hours later unless what they smoked was not pot, or somebody fucked up the test"
Wooo boy, I can tell you don't know anything about drugs.
If you're clean, it will take at least 16 hours for the metabolites to get into your urine.
"why work at a porno shop with that income?"
Because R&D is fucking expensive, especially when you're doing it yourself and have investors to pay.
"Give me half a days income or I won't belive you."
Nice entitlement complex you have. Given your poor spelling, no wonder.
We seriously need to create a trophy for this, to send to idiot lawyers.
"The loser then owes a debt to the government for all of the costs."
And in one stroke you'll reinstitute debtor's prisons. We all know how well those work out and why we barred them in the first place in the USA.
Did you think your cunning plan through thoroughly? Doesn't appear so from here.
No-Win, No-Fee is almost universally used in personal injury lawsuits across the globe, and not much else.
Speaking from relevant business experience across UK, AUS, NZ, Morocco, China, etc.
No, funny junk is what one of the actors in the American Dad XXX Parody Porno has. That shit bends nearly 90 degrees about 3 inches from the glans!
"Don't forget that the size (and hence the mass / weight) doubles in each of the three dimensions"
Except you forget muscle weighs more than fat, and 5'11" at 180 lbs is rather fat (I doubt a lawyer has any real muscle, hence why they're a lawyer.)
Assuming fat, more like 700 pounds at 12 feet. Muscle might get you your figure.
The attention has forced him to (futilely) remove all his contact info from his website and other associated accounts online.
Not good for business when nobody can find your contact info.
What's funnier is his 180 lbs organic frame couldn't stand a chance against my 140 lbs titanium and kevlar reinforced frame. If he wanted a fight, I'd give it to him and he'd regret it. I'd put my foot so far up his ass the water on my knee would quench his thirst.

Suckers.
My rather acidic skin makes the trackpad useless.

No, SEO bombing is the way to go. Also notify google.

Welcome to the slaughter.
Extortion, technically written extortion. California Penal Code 523 and 518.
Given that a HUGE portion of porno companies are in California (and I'm willing to bet at least one of these studios is CA-based) this would be Extortion or Criminal Threat.
Get away from your keyboard and walk into your local porno shop. A whole new world awaits you, one which Google simply cannot provide online.
