Wait? The people he's giving free keys to because he acknowledges that not everybody can afford to buy his game should.. buy his game? That they can't afford?
Well, welcome to the complexity of dating in the UK.
At least with her I could tell. The night before a woman I find very sensuous and attractive saw me for the first time since we'd been introduced a couple of weeks ago and demanded a dance. Told me how wonderful it was and then half an hour later ran over to demand another dance. Plenty of eye contact, no shortage of physical contact (including some delightful wriggling) and left me limping off the floor after another thank you hug.
Every instinct tells you one thing but... I kept a discrete eye on her table and a man I'd seen her with before sat down, gave her a perfunctory kiss on the lips and they sat there with her arm around him. Clearly her partner.
The signals are not clear, and the wrong interpretation gets you a bad reputation.
Then on Saturday another girl told me verbally that she likes me being sweaty and told me I could drip on her any time. Followed by telling me I could give her a cuddle instead of a hug. I do appreciate that she was transparent and didn't take offence at her openness, I just don't find her physically attractive and wouldn't generally seek out her company. Although she has had a lesbian proposition from a girl I did nearly go out with..
So sure: Sometimes you can tell but it's so horribly easy to find examples that run contrary to any "but it's obvious" comments that I have no empathy for women receiving unwanted advances. Men are expected to act first and it really is impossible to get it right every time.
What the fuck? Those weren't advances to me. She was there with her husband, welcoming some company and greatly enjoying the dances.
No, there aren't advance requests. I was making the point that it's fucking impossible to know when an advance would be welcome, and eye contact with a smile sure as shit doesn't qualify.
The way he sees it, if he was ever captured he would tell them everything he knows, why ? Because anything he knows is already out of date
He's a fucking idiot then. Read any military history and the single biggest factor in military operations is information. What is your enemy's order of battle, where are their strengths, do they have supplies.
This matters as a tactical level and at a theatre level and operations in one theatre impact them all.
Telling the enemy basic shit like who came for lunch yesterday reveals a ton of useful information that can confirm or dispel specific assumptions, introduce new insights and potentially offer them an opportunity they would otherwise have failed to grasp.
So tell your friend from me that he's a fucking idiot and his former colleagues are lucky he's no longer in the military.
If someone is at a social event like a party, and they make non-verbal contact (e.g. smiling at you), your advances are clearly not unwanted.
Yesterday a woman I don't know came to sit next to me while I was filming an event.
She smiled and started talking to me. She asked me to dance. After the dance she hugged me and said thank you. She went off, bought some whiskey and came back to sit with me. She asked me to dance several more times and the hugs got closer and longer after each dance.
Tell me, would this married mother of three want an advance from me?
I'm guessing not. I'm guessing her husband, who came over when he wasn't competing, would be surprised too.
I can't tell when someone does or does not want an advance. It's a fucking minefield and impossible to interpret, especially if you have Aspergers. So you either occasionally get it wrong or you never ask. I've known women get very pissed off and depressed because nobody would ask..
The synopsis of the story suggests a prejudiced view of men and not one that matches the reality I live in. Which caricature were you trying to apply to the person to whom you responded?
Clearly you support women killing men - a theme in the story and the reality of its author. So why all the bitching in this discussion about when a man merely fucking flirts with a woman? Bigoted much?
If one of these women had been your sister or your daughter, would you have considered the situation "handled" after Caldbeck stepped down?
My sister would've fucked him without asking for an investment. Her life, her decisions. I'm not going to get upset about them.
I don't have a daughter but if I did and she got propositioned on a sex for money basis, she'd be able to make her own choice.
There's nothing wrong with hanging a jacket on him so that women at his next venture are duly warned.
Warned of what? Man has dick, wants it wet? Fucking hell, there's a big fucking surprise.
Next thing you know all the women will be complaining that there are no men available. By which they'll mean no well educated wealthy men. My empathy levels are low.
You're calling him a dumbfuck and yet you're the cunt trying to redefine terms.
A Gigabyte is 1024 megabytes, each of which is 1024 kilobytes, each of which is 1024 bytes, each of which is an interesting number of bits depending on your architecture.
Given that last challenging part anybody thinking you can standardise on a power of ten for anything in computing is clearly barking fucking mad.
They operate as a MVNO in the UK and negotiate wholesale prices that my personal usage couldn't hope to achieve. So I get my service through them, including unlimited data, unlimited SMS, unlimited same-network calls and 2500 included minutes of other calls for £16/month.
I could get it cheaper if I didn't want unlimited data, but not by going wholesale.
$1/year beats that though, I'll accept. I'm guessing this will give them significantly greater than zero traction in the US market.
..and service, commercial negotiations, system design/enhancements, PR....and now you have enough people that you need HR people, Finance people, legal, facilities, internal IT support for all of those, a management tier that tries to add more value than it costs..
Etsy's supporting a lot of businesses. That's not a straightforward proposition and each of those businesses has expectations and demands.
And yet.. it's good enough that I halted my netflix subscription because of it.
It doesn't need to compete on equal terms, the fact that I get Amazon Prime Video and free delivery and some other shit for less than the cost of Netflix makes it an easy choice, and also means I can save money on the Netflix subscription.
If I ditch the £70/month premium TV service (very close to doing that) then I'll want Netflix and Amazon. The problem is that neither of them offer the thing I really want: Films and live sport.
It's petty by Walmart but that doesn't excuse designing a system that isn't transferable to other hosting services.
Amazon do offer some great accelerators but you don't have to use them. I'd rather have the flexibility to shift to Azure or another cloud services provider, and use that flexibility to manage my own costs.
It'd also make the Walmart conversation very easy. "Stop using AWS." "ok, done."
Just switch back again afterwards, unless Walmart are going to dicate in their supplier contracts how supplier IT services must be provided, in which case I'm just going to avoid them.
Nah, I'm with him. Never bought socks at the same time as shoes.
When I buy trousers, I use an existing belt. If I need a belt, I buy a belt, I don't buy trousers to go with them.
But.. women. A lot of mens clothing is bought by women. They're all about coordination and matching shit.
This is why ties sell with shirts, and why I can believe belts get sold with trousers.
Walmart's identified trends are at a population level, and even if it's only a 1-2% change in purchasing behaviour that's worth shifting where you display your socks.

Maybe it's me that's missing something here.

Link to a source that isn't banned from an entire city because it prints lies.
Sure, there's not a single person in the US who has access. Right. Absolutely. I'm convinced, really.
If I ran the MS operations in Ireland then I'd have assured that's the case four years ago, with ongoing audited processes to keep it that way.
I'd also expect any US based management to thank me for assuring regulatory compliance in Ireland.

Safe, but wrong.
I've had welcome and unwelcome advances while working in a bar. Dealt with all of them with courtesy and politeness, even the homosexual ones.
Well, it's already investigated as a hate crime in Nottingham.
As is failing to say hello to a woman, if she takes offence at that.
Me, I'm looking forward to bringing a private prosecution for wasting police time.
Not a misanthrope, just a murderer. Ok.

Given your 600MB movies are 629 million bytes you're fucked anyway.
Anybody that uses MiB and GiB can fuck off out of the industry.
You pay to receive SMS? That's fucked up.
They operate as a MVNO in the UK and negotiate wholesale prices that my personal usage couldn't hope to achieve. So I get my service through them, including unlimited data, unlimited SMS, unlimited same-network calls and 2500 included minutes of other calls for £16/month.
I could get it cheaper if I didn't want unlimited data, but not by going wholesale.
$1/year beats that though, I'll accept. I'm guessing this will give them significantly greater than zero traction in the US market.
No, they meant 'on premise'. It's a valid term in common usage and helps immediately in classifying IT infrastructure.
Some people shorten it to 'on prem', if you really want to twang your knicker elastic.
why was a Windows 7 box exposed directly Internet
Because it was supporting a business that doesn't have extensive expertise in IT security and was unaware of the business risks that this created.
They're now aware.
I'd still like the Dark Overlord to be tracked down and invited to retain that name in jail.
I think Mojang demonstrated that you can get the sweet stupid buyout without excessive staff numbers.
Etsy's supporting a lot of businesses. That's not a straightforward proposition and each of those businesses has expectations and demands.
No, I pay for potable water. It's approximately 95p per cubic metre plus £28 per year.

That space is important.
