Yeah, just like "infant mortality" is measured much more stringently in the US than the rest of the world but people like to lie and pretend the US has worse infant mortality. Good for the goose...
What should we do, boot out the flood of people who come in from our border with a third world country? Generally your ilk condemn such measures (and I actually do as well, no way we're kicking out millions of illegals, it's impossible). Go back in time and tell our forefathers that slavery was a moral abomination that would create an institutionally poor segment of the population? Pesky physics precludes that.
Many Europeans think they can compare their tiny little isolated utopias with nations of a much, much different makeup.
I don't even know why I'm bothering arguing, the EU is finished and you'll all be out rioting a lot over the next 5 years. I for one will enjoy watching you smug assholes disintegrate, and you're deluded if you don't think it's happening already.
I don't know if you knew this, but our forefathers thought slavery was a grand idea. This created one institutionally poor class of people who make up a fairly sizeable chunk of our population. Second, we have a porous border with a third world country.
Higher percentage of poor people in dense areas per 100k people means a higher number of crimes per 100k people. We also have an odd entitlement culture which leads people to think they "deserve" more.
The US has a larger percentage of institutionally poor people due to our asshole forefathers thinking Slavery was just a grand idea, and due to our border with a third world country.
Seriously, what's wrong with you? Are you completely bereft of common sense?
Can you find anywhere in your contract the bandwidth that AT&T guaranteed you? Physics itself literally precludes unlimited (infinite) bandwidth, so surely you can point to the clause in your contract that says AT&T will guarantee you 4G speeds at all times?
Huh? T-Mobile is very clear, at least with my plan. $30 gets unlimited texts/voice, and unlimited data where the first 5G of data is at 3G speeds, and anything beyond 5G is subject to throttling.
This is some sort of bizarre lie told to make people think nobody uses torture.
Of course torture works. It's not useful to get someone to confess to something, but it's useful to get _verifiable information_.
Interrogator: Slllllpffftpop! OK, I just popped out your left eye.
Detainee: Ayyyyyyiiieeeee!
Detanee: OK, I'll tell you all about anything you want to know.
Two hours later: Oh, you lied.. Time to pop out another eye.
It works, it's stupid to say it doesn't. It's not always the most efficient means and it's certainly evil in most circumstances, but people will part with information under sufficient torture.
Uhh, 0? Just because you call them "corporations" doesn't change anything, it's human colonization. You could ponder the same thing in 17th century America. "Oh noes, will those poor pilgrims be indentured servants unable to purchase transport back to England?!"
I don't think anybody believes we're good enough for 8000x4000, people are talking about 1080p when they say "good enough" for consoles. Seems we're pretty close even with current gen consoles, and if they can quadruple GPU power or more in the next gen consoles it should be fine for years until those higher resolution displays are actually commonplace.
Cry moar, crybaby. This is how real police work gets done. It's not like on TV where there's semen everywhere for DNA samples and they can use the zortec II interferometer with micro-slit refreractomy. They find some guy to snitch on his asshole buddies, case closed.
Sorry, dude. We effect change by the vote, not by breaking the law. This little punk who had this pathetic leet haxxor image of himself wasn't some grand agent of change, he was just in it for the lulz. Well, now who's lulz..ing?
You're flipping it. It's actually the Apple hipsters who think like that. As evidence, ask many iPhone people about comparing their tiny phones to the latest generation 4.3"/4.5" display Android phones, and they'll tell you it's "too big".
As soon as apple has a display with a large screen, it'll be all wavy gravy.
Good engineering practice? In what world? Outsourcing makes perfect sense in many cases. Providers like Amazon and Microsoft have better uptime than most small businesses would be able to achieve on their own.
Totally. I think we all know that homegrown solutions are 100% reliable, right? If you outsource it you could get stuck with some number of nines, and nines are stupid. 100% uptime is where it's at.
Now, on a related matter these "hard drive" thingies don't fail, do they? I was thinking of maybe putting them in what some guy called a "RAID 0" configuration so the web server for my business is faster.
Haha, I had the same reaction. I wouldn't give that little shit any money either. Always whining about traffic ticket this, parking rules that. What a fucking drag.
Would you rather walk around in the poorest town in Mexico with a tourist hat and $5000 in cash in your pocket, or walk around the nicest part of Beverly hills with $5000 in your pocket?

It's almost as if you're a fucking moron.

No, it's almost as if a culture with a huge population of poor people encourages crime. It's cute to compare tiny little Holland to the US though.
In 1930's Italy, the trains ran on time like much of the civilized world.
Can you find anywhere in your contract the bandwidth that AT&T guaranteed you? Physics itself literally precludes unlimited (infinite) bandwidth, so surely you can point to the clause in your contract that says AT&T will guarantee you 4G speeds at all times?
It is? AT&T guaranteed somewhere in your contract the bandwidth you would get from your phone? Yeah... no, they didn't. Rematch.
Can you show me anywhere where AT&T indicates _anything_ about the data rates you will see on your phone?
Huh? T-Mobile is very clear, at least with my plan. $30 gets unlimited texts/voice, and unlimited data where the first 5G of data is at 3G speeds, and anything beyond 5G is subject to throttling.
I'm unaware of anything in AT&T's advertising materials that indicates the speed at which your mobile device will download data.
Can you point me to anything from AT&T that guarantees the speed you will get from your mobile device? No? You can''t? Case closed.
That said, I agree AT&T should just clarify and make very clear exactly what you're getting.
AT&T just needs to clearly indicate that you get X gigs of data at 4G or 3G speeds, then anything after that is subject to lower speeds.
You don't have a "right" to unlimited data, sorry. The only issue I see is AT&T hasn't been clear with how it works.
