  1. Nice attempt to detract from my point.

    I'm a Southern boy, and I was raised up old-school: I was taught to regard and to treat ALL women as if they were my own wife, sister, daughter, mother, or grandmother. Because every woman is one or more of those things to someone.

    So... you don't understand what "market saturation" means. And you're good at the projection thing, apparently.

    I don't think you're a fool. Bought my wife a MBP last year. Our home is now Windows-free. No more "Honey, this update is taking forever, can't you do anything about it?" No more Windows Just Crapped Itself And Ate Her Report At 11PM on Sunday (and *of course* she has her semi-monthly department heads meeting at 9 the following morning...). And no more worries about what Windows is trying to pull with her data, and on my network. BLISS!!!

    I thought I would resent having to pay too much for hardware that I know full well I can get for half the price. But after a year? Not a bit.

    Best damn overpriced kit I ever forked out for, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Damn straight I would.

  6. Yeah, pretty much. I'll be glad when the election's over, and I can resume worrying about lighter matters, such as the Russian submarines that keep getting sighted within 20 km of my home.

  7. So if you don't care, why the defensiveness and the attempt to distract with a completely unrelated issue? Have a nice day.

    Except that if you really didn't give a shit, you wouldn't be so eager to stuff in something about Apple sales figures.

    Don't forget that this will be marketed very loudly as OOOH SHINY! NEW & INNOVATIVE! in a fashion guaranteed to rival the world-renowned ARDF.

  12. Just so you know, I once drove a Ford Pinto from the Virginia-Tennessee state line to California.

    And the transmission didn't fall out until I reached Bakersfield, so there. :-P

    I expressed doubt, having never heard of such a thing before, other than as a plot element in a couple of straight-to-video movies.

    Someone supplied a story from what appears to be a reputable source.

    I read it, and replied, saying, "Thanks for the info".

    That was 2 days ago. Have you finished reading the thread yet?

    No, but people who have some semblance of a clue will continue to mock you regardless of who wins the election.

  15. It just struck me how absofuckinglutely hilarious it is that we see all the Trumpers going round wearing "You're a cuck if you're not for Trump" T-shirts when it's *Trump* who's aiming to make *them* cuckolds. The ones who actually have wives or girlfriends, that is, assuming that any of them do.

    And yet you'll vote for someone who's demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt that you cannot safely leave him alone with your wife or teenage daughter, *ever*.

    Maybe you don't have a wife or a teenage daughter. I have both. So do numerous Republican Senators, Representatives, and Governors, apparently.

  17. Kristina searched slazy [slazy.com] and couldn't believe what she found...

    Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)' in /home4/direct00/public_html/slazy.com/results.php:305 Stack trace: #0 /home4/direct00/public_html/slazy.com/results.php(305): PDO->__construct('mysql:host=loca...', 'root', 'quack22quack') #1 {main} thrown in /home4/direct00/public_html/slazy.com/results.php on line 305

    Looks like she found your DB web app user. And since you oh-so-cleverly used the MySQL root account for this purpose, she also found the password for that as well. Cheers!

  18. And of course they had to throw out the thing was already working so they could develop the new one on their production site. That's a really clever way to cut costs, no?

  19. Vote with your wallet.

    I do. I have free email that requires no effort from me.

    Probably doesn't require much effort from anybody else, either.

  22. What's really unsettling is all the pro-Trump posts I've been seeing here and other places parroting Putin's line on EU/Baltics/Ukraine/Syria.

    And I've yet to see a single pro-Trump voice speak up to disavow it. Not a one.

    Messenger tends to be a great way of pinging coworkers, and you can just not check it or turn it off when you don't want to be disturbed.
