So there you have it. International press misunderstanding, or someone lying?
Oooh, can I be a chocolate and raspberry cupcake, with the top cut into angel wings tucked in a soft butter icing filling that's got that enticing sugary crust that breaks crisply as you bite into it?
Sorry, was that meant to be demeaning or something? Really?
Yeah, I now have the unfeasible luxury of 2560x1440 just on my main monitor, and I still revert to the 'classic' theme to get back those precious extra pixels.
Notice that none of the official 'leave' campaign spokespeople are making that claim.
TTIP is an EU deal. Leave the EU and the UK will have TTISR - trans-atlantic trade and investment special relationship, that looks just like TTIP but with fewer protections for unions.
I want to leave the EU and I don't want TTIP but don't fool yourself, the British Government wants TTIP more than it wants the EU - and it's officially campaigning to stay in the EU.

Now throw in interpretation of defamation, where drawing attention to the race or religion of the Rotherham rapists could be construed as defamation and suddenly you can't say a fucking thing about anybody.
Shit, a year in jail for describing the French as cheese eating surrender monkeys? That's what that law dictates. That's fucking horrific.
I bought a fucking TV from Samsung, I did not buy a media service, a content service or a fucking ad delivery platform.
How is expecting my television to show me television content and provide the internet enabled capabilities I paid for without adding ads that weren't mentioned when I bought it theft?
Stop buying? I just emailed them telling them that if they impose ads then they owe me two new TVs, and if necessarily I'll take court action to reclaim the cost.
I did also mention the number of Samsung electronic devices I own, and that they'll lose future custom.
Problem is that I'm running of out TV suppliers. Sony are obviously banned, LG were using their TVs to spy on customers and now Samsung.. looks like it'll be Panasonic next.
The other customers are consuming bandwidth and causing traffic of their own, whether through YouTube, Hulu, steam game downloads or whatever. They're not compensating for others Netflix use, they're paying for the service they receive.
If they aren't using much bandwidth then there are typically cheaper tariffs they can use.
Next you'll be hitching about soccer moms with their big SUVs clogging the roads that motorcyclists help pay for.
Wikipedia keeps demanding more donations despite sitting on a pile of cash. They don't use that cash to fix their flawed and disreputable editor network that leads to grotesquely skewed wikipedia pages.
Wales now wants to use that cash to push that agenda ridden view of society onto people AND not provide them with access to alternate sources of information that might actually challenge the narrative and offer some semblance of truth?
Fuck Jimmy Wales, fuck his view of net neutrality and fuck the idiots that keep giving Wikipedia money.

Sure, using a proper server OS makes sense too. Just not a desktop one, let alone one that's hostage to Microsoft's disdain for their customers.
Well, many countries have post offices, but in the UK I go to the Post Office.
Sometimes capitalisation is correct, such as the Internet, and sometime's it's not, such as the muppet.
No you wouldn't. Its name is "the Moon."

Depends on context and substances.
Yes, but it still exists.

Almost.
There are many internets, and many of them are connected to or part of the Internet.

I have been opting not to use Windows 10, providing very effective feedback to Microsoft that unless things change, they're losing business.
They don't need to ask me exactly for my feedback, it's pretty fucking transparent what the informed user base thinks.
you can set your security and privacy settings back to your paranoid 'do-not-share' custom settings.
No, it still shares shit. You have to block at an off-PC firewall to prevent sharing.
Plus you can't stop it downloading and installing updates without your explicit permission, and those updates reset privacy settings.
Don't ask 'Why'; ask instead, 'Why not.' - John F. Kennedy
Those _are_ my reasons why not.

Show me content, not frippery!
DX12 capable OS is now 40% of Steam users:

Add up the Windows 7/8/8.1 users that can run DX11 and there aren't many DX10 users out there at all.
why use MS server for a low usage toy database when even XP could do it?
So it doesn't update in the middle of a contractor remoting in, or fuck up the database.
You did kind of answer your own question there.

If you don't like it, go elsewhere.
Wait, I have to emigrate because a bunch of cunts I didn't elect are trying to impose draconian limitations on speech in my country?
Fuck that. I'm voting to leave their precious little club in a couple of weeks, lets see how they get on without our massive subsidy.

I game on a high-end PC and I think typewriters are cool.
Admittedly only if converted into mechanical keyboards. And if I don't have to use it myself.
But it is cool. I still want one of those devices used by the office workers in the film Brazil, they rocked.
But I don't know what a hipster is. I just know that people who claims others are hipsters tend to be total cocks.

Are you really that fucking stupid?
"part" of the cost? No. I bought a TV for use with no ads, I want a TV I can use with no ads.
If Samsung prevent me using the TV they made with no ads then they owe me a new fucking TV.
£35, and I can add that fee to the claim, since you ask.

Fair point, although I'm not sure he should trust a DA either.
The whole plea bargaining situation discredits the US justice system.
The other customers are consuming bandwidth and causing traffic of their own, whether through YouTube, Hulu, steam game downloads or whatever. They're not compensating for others Netflix use, they're paying for the service they receive.

Next you'll be hitching about soccer moms with their big SUVs clogging the roads that motorcyclists help pay for.
Why are you claiming that Netflix are at fault for ISPs failing to meet customer bandwidth demands?
Obviously I couldn't possibly suggest what those factors might be.
