    Ever notice they don't sing happy birthday in Futurama? "What day is today? It's Bender's birthday! And you smell like one, too!"

    I dunno about you, but for me no internet means I cannot do my job.

    Respectable people didn't get respect. When you understand that you'll start to understand the problem of labelling people 'SJW'.

    It's "exert power" because you think you can demand special treatment for your opinions.

    What special ability are you talking about, here?

    That'd be disingenuous since you're leaving out the crucial detail that their 'merit' or 'character' is being negatively rated for frivolous reasons.

    You lot use the term 'SJW' to describe waaaay more people than those you listed in your post.

    Today I leared 'exert power' is another way of saying 'attain equality'.

    I have never heard of anyone who thought Jar Jar Binks reminded them of black characterisations. ... Seriously how long is the bow they are stretching?

    Watch the South Park movie some time.

  12. Re:So what are the terms? on Ask Slashdot: How Should Devs Deal With Trademark Trolls? · · Score: 1

    'Apple' is a common word, too. But if you call your app 'Apple Mail', you are clearly violating trademar law and with good reason.

    This is why we have to know the terms, it may not be a troll at all.

  13. Re:A gigabyte is not worth a dollar, much less 10 on Ask Slashdot: Measuring (and Constraining) Mobile Data Use? · · Score: 1

    Actually you two seem to agree: the price of data is cemented by the paying customers. He isn't going to liberterian extremes, he's pointing out that the tiered-plan carriers are raking in lots of proft. The reason Sprint has unlimited plans is because they are nowhere near as profitable as they'd like to be.

    Customer frustration over data prices is there, afferall AT&T is finally doing data rollover (well... sort of), but right now they are in nowhere near the danger you are predicting.

    Yeah yeah yeah, I hated rebooting my machine several times a day during the 90's, too.

    The moron that modded my post down didn't consider both the hardware and software companies that made heaps of money through MS's monopoly, which was the point being made. I'm actually a bit shocked that I have to explain that.

  23. Re:Another piece in the puzzle... on Turing Near Ready To Ship World's First Liquid Metal Android Smartphone · · Score: 1

    If the comment I was replying to is off-topic, then the one i replied to is as well.

    The fact is other than describing it as 'liquid metal' they do not explain how it actually moves or where its actual processor is and how it communicates with the rest of its, for lack of a better term, 'mass'. We don't know what it looks like on a microscopic level, for all we know it *is* a ton of little nano machines. We certainly do not know any differently from that and the description in the movie isn't adequate enough to say I'm wrong.

  24. You can get the BSOD back instead of reboot somewhere in the settings.

    Even in 2005 you'd be waiting a long time to actually see either happen.

    I ditched MS for Linux 10 years ago and will never go back to that bloated/slow POS they call an operating system.

    Amusingly 'unstable' is not on that list.

  25. You actually want BSODs?

    Who said anything about Win9x?
