It is called Tizen and, by most accounts, is horrible. They made a claim of using it exclusively in the future. Said claim was in 2016. It appears to not have reached fruition, I'm not sure what their timeline is now.
I'm not sure what major patents they held? They may have some in the VR space, but they base their software off another company - Vive, maybe? I forget which one.
I don't know of ant HTC patents that are significant in the mobile space. They have some design patents, but I can't think of anything major.
I have a huge posting history that shows that I don't do a whole lot of hating. I can't even say that I hate Larry Ellison, but I can say that I hate his company. Hate isn't even too strong a word. Oracle can suck my unwashed left nut, metaphorically.
I have dealt with incompetence, dishonesty, and malicious and only Oracle managed to exceed expectations in all three categories. I am truly bothered by the fact that they still exist. I can't even think of a nice thing to say about them, and I can usually find something nice to say about anyone. Hell, I can even find something nice to say about Nazis.
After they cost us a bunch of money, productivity, and morale, I refused to pay them. They literally failed every aspect of the contract. They met not one goal and even got extensions to meet their goals. They failed in every way possible, so I kicked them out and didn't pay them.
They took me to court. Yes, they sued me - even though I had a copy of the contract and they'd not met even one single part of that contract. In six months, they literally got not one thing running effectively. Not one... From installers to consultants, they sent them all to us. They were more incompetent than even I, and I hate databases and don't know much about them.
And they sued... Then they delayed everything in court, up to, and including, failing to send the appropriate people and being granted an extension.
When it finally got to the point where we were all in front of a judge, we largely presented a bunch of documents - including the contract. They presented the idea that we should pay anyhow. It was a quick decision by the judge and our legal expenses were, partially, covered by them. They did nothing to cover our many, many other expenses.
Either way, that's the short version. The case took a couple of years to conclude.
At the end, their representative said they hoped we would have a better outcome the next time they worked with us. I was flabbergasted by the temerity. Indeed, they would even send salesmen and call, trying to work for us again.
What I find amazing is that a company that touts their databases somehow was unable to out together past results and still felt it would be beneficial to contact us in the future. Somewhere, in their database, they should have an option for, "Already fucked over, don't try again." I don't think they do.
I don't have any numbers, but I suspect the vast majority of people who blow things up aren't actually politically motivated or harming anyone. I'm not sure why you'd wish them harm?
I'd suggest we educate them. Teach them how to make explosives safely and to use them constructively.
I am rather confused as to why you'd wish innocent people harm, but that's on you.
Sadly, those people do exist. They're just broken. They are so broken, they call me the insane one because I I like explosions. I'm not sure how to fix the broken people, but maybe if we take them out to blow something up, then they will realize the error of their ways?
Funny enough, many of them like fireworks displays. But, there are even people who don't like fireworks and want them to remain illegal! Yeah, they are insane.
Because blowing shit up is a lot of fun and not necessarily harmful. I doubt the majority of these purchases are made for any reasons that are harmful. There's not much out there that is more entertaining than blowing shit up. It's even possible to blow shit up without hurting yourself or anyone else. Hell, you can blow shit up and be apolitical.
I, for one, love blowing shit up. A buddy owns a granite quarry. I make it a point to visit frequently, just so I can observe and help blow shit up. Unfortunately, blowing shit up has a bad reputation and they've made much of the art into a crime. You can easily make a bomb with toilet cleaner, aluminum foil, and a soda bottle - but that's now illegal, regardless of intent or outcome.
I'm not so very sure I can start a viable political platform based on the right to blow things up, however and unfortunately. But, seriously, if you've never blown shit up, you're missing out. I'd argue that blowing shit up is a basic human right, but I'm not sure most people would agree with me. I'd point out that those people who do not agree are just not fun people.
I'm not even kidding, blowing shit up is just about the most fun you can have while still wearing your clothes. Obviously, don't blow shit up if it doesn't belong to you and blow shit up in a safe manner.
I know you capitalized all the letters in LITERALLY, but there are still products that Amazon doesn't sell. So, it's not 'literally everything.' I'm not sure that negates your point, but hyperbole is dishonesty and being dishonest reduces the value of your speech.
This is correct! State and local jurisdictions may classify a muzzle loader as a firearm, but the BATFE does not. AC is spot on and more people should be aware of this. For those in doubt, here is a citation:
Notably, some muzzle loading rifles are not lawful for felons to own, but the number is small and it matters if it can be easily converted to use regular ammunition.
Required viewing for whom? Because there are loads of people who just don't give a shit. I'm not sure they should be required to watch it. I'm not even convinced that Apple fanatics should be required to watch it, or anything else for that matter.
I dunno, that seems rather authoritarian. Mandatory repeated video watching about Apple seems like a horrible idea. If we're going to mandate repeated video watching, it should probably be a better choice than that.
I recently learned that the device has issues with the heart-monitoring aspect if you have wrist tattoos. It can't see through a tattoo. They acknowledge this, but make no mention of this on any of the sales/about literature that I have found.
It'd be pretty simple to add something like, "Heart-health monitoring may not be effective when watch is worn over a tattoo."
Given the popularity of tattoos, I'd say that would be important information for an honest company to impart. They don't even have to put it in big letters, just a mention of it in the advertising literature would be nice. It's not even in the help documents, unless I missed it.
Err... I only know this because someone mentioned that it didn't work so I checked the online help documents, specs, and things like that. I was curious about the mechanism, not so curious about the watch itself. I am not actually in the market for a smart watch.
As an actual Native American, feel free to stay. Just, you know, grow up and be smart.
Seriously, feel free to stay and immigrate legally. Be kind to nature by using it responsibly. Stop being a jerk to each other. Basically, don't be an asshole.
I, in the other hand, actually am a doctor. I suspect that their response wasn't based on a single vague comment, but a series of comments where we learn Chris is quite unhealthy. Their advice is probably good advice for anyone in the physical shape of Chris.
However, I'm a doctor but absolutely not a medical doctor. I can diagnose people, but I can probably do your math homework.
Nah, probably not on large scales. The various countries have various heights. They're not going to all be moving at once. We're not going to wake up and have 3 months to move our shit to high ground. Climate change doesn't work like that.
'Cause availability is a function of reliability. If I go outside and my tractor doesn't start, that's not reliable. (Granted, it does - but that's with a lot of maintaining it and it's not like I actually do anything commercial with it.)
I've got me an L6060. It's lovely - and reliable as all hell, though I maintain it more often than I maintain anything else.
Alright, I spent some time away. I still think you're too emotionally invested in what other people say. You can do that, but then you're letting the trolls win.
It's not hard to spot and ignore a troll post. I read at -1 and it's pretty easy to spot the racists, idiots, and trolls. It doesn't even hurt me, no matter what they say. Sometimes I shake my head, but that's about the extent of it.
This doesn't mean that there's no place for a moderated community. It just means that you can use USENET if you want. It really is trivially easy to just ignore them.

Scroll up. I shared some of my experiences with Oracle.

Seriously, fuck Oracle.

I want to believe this is real.
You may wish to expand the thread and read it again, in its entirety.
They are deleting negative reviews from verified purchasers. In at least one case, from a verified purchaser, they deleted their review three times.
I'm not actually sure of your motivations to make that claim, when we can see the truth.
Note: I have no opinion on the book and would have preferred HRC be elected over Trump.

I believe that's why Debian is doing the repeatable builds project. You should be able to replicate the build exactly.
One of my neighbors just lands in his field, on the water, or on snow. Sometimes, he lands on fields that don't belong to him.
By their definition, it must be a flying car! I'll have to let him know.
Jesus loves the ICE because electric powered weed whackers mean dragging a long extension cord behind you. Sheesh!
They average about 13 MPH.

Inner city buses, of course.
Yeah, those are a select few. Each model can be tweaked and each data set can be adjusted. There's hundreds of thousands of results.
Nah, probably not on large scales. The various countries have various heights. They're not going to all be moving at once. We're not going to wake up and have 3 months to move our shit to high ground. Climate change doesn't work like that.
