So, checking out the sidebar news on FB. Darwin must be laughing his ass off. A game in which evolution is a core mechanic is causing semi-natural selection among humans. Walking off cliffs, falling in lakes, getting hit by cars, stabbed in parks...
With the entire history of Microsoft, RICO applies, because you can point out continual willful violations of the law for profit and flouting courts, plus tax evasion, etc.
You must not be a bright lawyer if you can't piece shit together like this.
"Perhaps people should be more careful about the accusations they make."
Perhaps fucking companies should be more careful and less lazy about the boilerplate bullshit they throw in, and actually bother to write a relevant fucking EULA/ToS for their software.
And perhaps you should shut your whore mouth, manishs.
"I have big, dumb, sausage fingers, so mounting the motherboard into the case, and screwing in nine (!) tiny screws to keep it in place in a cramped space, in weird angles, where dropping the screwdriver can easily break something expensive -- it's just not what I'd call "consumer-friendly."
Then you get PROPER TOOLS WITH EXTENDED SHAFTS instead of using tiny ones not designed for your fucking fat hands. Also, your fault for not picking a PC case with a slide-out motherboard tray, many are cheap as shit, and even have decent cable management.
"This is why people buy from Apple. It designs everything from the trackpad to the box the computer comes in, which unfolds neatly to reveal everything you need."
Excepting a proper top-class GPU for supposed top-class hardware.
"Apple reduces friction to the point where even my mom could upgrade the RAM on her iMac, and it can do this because it controls everything that goes in that box."
Most laptops and AIO PCs have been able to do that years before Apple ever did it, one door on the back side of the system. Most of those, much like most of Apple's offerings, are not meant for PC Gaming.
" they need an "unreasonable" amount of disposable income"
$800 got my fiance a very-near top of the line AMD system - FX-9370, 16GB DDR4, 8GB R9 390, case + 650w PSU. He already has 7TB worth of hard drives so no need to purchase more, and has a keyboard, mouse, and three 1680x1050 monitors already so no need to purchase those, ditto for his sound system. The system runs everything maxed out without an issue, excepting poorly-optimized Early Access games.
"I disagree. Macs are personal computers because the person who owns it controls what computing is done on it"
Wrong. System Integrity Protection is a built-in Apple blacklist. That's SPECIFICALLY stopping you from controlling what computing you're doing. It even blacklists its own drivers.
That and Glassdoor and Monster and CareerBuilder and many of these other job/professional sites are just bullshit. Half of the jobs posted are really just a means of information-gathering for survey companies or resume stealing fucks, there was never a job available in the first place, but spending the meager one-time listing fee to get all that information under the guise of a job offer makes financial sense.
You have better chances of finding actual work on Craigslist, and even then you still face the same issue, but at least it's a bit easier to spot.
" there are other options that allow bitcoin to scale where "layer 2" payment channels that are onchain and secure can occur that will allow bitcoin to scale to over 100k txs per second"
That's pretty fucking slow, actually. Bitcoin won't be viable for shit until you can process a few million per second.

'what Pokemon do most definitely isn't evolve"
One of the typical side effects of evolution is the inability to breed with prior generations.
Guess what Pokemon does?
"Are you telling me I can't scavenge enough power from background RF noise to broadcast a signal stronger than the background RF noise?!"
Depends on the noise level of the wavelength you want to overpower versus the power in the wavelength you're harvesting from!
So, checking out the sidebar news on FB. Darwin must be laughing his ass off. A game in which evolution is a core mechanic is causing semi-natural selection among humans. Walking off cliffs, falling in lakes, getting hit by cars, stabbed in parks...
And that's just Southern California!
So it chews through batteries like a Game Gear with the TV attachment?
>Any child psychologist
Disregarded for soft science bullshit that can almost never be reproduced.
"Vending machines kill people?"
Yes, in fact you're more likely to die from a vending machine accident than you are a shark attack.

Big words from an AC that's too fucking fat to get up from behind their keyboard.
And you're not as anonymous as you think - your vocabulary and typing mannerisms give you away you furry fuckwit.
>Telegram listed as secure
Entire list disregarded as bullshit.

What does $800 get you in Apple hardware?
"In this case, they fail to check whether the client is actually the owner of the post."
That would be authentication. Making sure someone is who they say they are is authentication, granting access after authentication is authorization.
"I disagree. Macs are personal computers because the person who owns it controls what computing is done on it"

Fuck FORTH and fuck Reverse Polish Notation.
The Green Egg is far better-suited to smoking than grilling. The shape of it does not lend itself well to items which do best in indirect heat.
I own both a Green Egg and Weber (just got a new Weber for an early birthday present, in fact!)
"Dice.com is nearly dead"

Meh, gold's not really worth shit.
Rhodium, Osmium, Platinum? Now we're talking.
Also, gemstones.
"Bitcoin is disinflationary"
The rapidly and falsely-rising 'value' of bitcoin tells me and anyone else that ever paid attention to economics that you're dead wrong.
"Eventually there will be no new bitcoins, at which point 100% of the money from mining will come from transaction fees."
Sounds very much like the internet and advertising - and we all see how well that's working out.
Yet another reason for me to avoid craptocurrencies.

Tanks didn't stop the Killdozer. Try again when you understand history and asymmetrical warfare.
You have no actual argument, which actually means I'm correct.
BTW, for all intents and purposes, Macs are consoles. They're not even worthy of PC status. PCs allow freedom, not walled gardens.
I'm surprised you haven't slithered under a rock after all the times your as has been proven wrong, stupid, and moronic.
Next I'll call for your open slaughter. :)
Neither of my statements were mutually exclusive, APK, but you're too stupid to understand that.
"is there any position on this issue that you don't take?"
I take all positions, because I'm not a closed-minded fuckwit like you.
"Lethal force was no longer called for once he was contained."
Maybe if the guy was surrounded by Texas Rangers, I could see him being contained. Dallas police can barely contain a donut and coffee.
