Why did they create MTP? It's annoying not to be able to mount my phone in linux. For some reason, it's easier for me to use adb to access my files on my phone in linux than MTP
I don't get why people are so enamored with "wireless" charging.
Echoing the two posts above me. My usb port is always the first thing to go on my phones. Wireless charging means I only need to plug in my phone when updating to a new rooted OS image.
As far as the ACA, written originally by the Heritage Foundation (including Mitt Romney), Did not get passed by congress back in the early 90's (IIRC, not Googling for a AC retort) Adopted by Dems, because true single payer would never get passed, so now it's evil.
The bulk of Republicans that were for that were not in office when this thing got passed. Assuming the current crop of republicans want what the republicans wanted in the early 90's makes zero sense. If they wanted it, they would have passed it during Bush's time.
If GroupOn was willing to let you implement pool retention algorithms (reservation required for all GroupOn customers! Walk-Ins do *NOT* get to use the GroupOn coupon!), then you might have an argument for deep visibility interiours on restaurants.
They did allow that. It was a bit annoying when I bought one without reading the not-so-fine print on some bowling passes I got. But that was my fault for not reading the 3 sentence description before buying it.
like instead of selling 20 coupons they would sell 400. flooding the business with low profit clients who were angry for not being able to get an appointment.
This would be the fault of the barber for offering to many coupons. A lot of deals where limited to 20 or so. You can also say it is the fault of the consumer for not checking the business before buying a groupon for that business. Groupon really is the middle man here.
How is it snake oil? It does not pretend to be anything other than what it is. I have purchased a few groupons. As long as you are willing to plan ahead, you can save a lot of money using them - especially when it comes to restaurants, bowling, and car washes.
I would bet you are in the minority. I am not a coupon shopper and even I heard of them. Most of my coworkers and friends use it often.
Maybe it is a class thing? These are coupons that we are talking about (and coupons that you have to buy to use.) My friends and I (well not me anymore) make around 40,000 or less - which is livable wage in Texas, but does not leave a lot of disposable income.
Most people in the corporate world use laptops not towers.
My job (UHC) and my last job (KCI) only assigned laptops to mobile personal and people that might need to work from home. Most of the other hundred thousand employees use desktops. There just isn't a need for laptops
What if the US invaded other countries thousands of miles away and occupied them?
What if the US sort to extradite people from countries thousands of miles away for allowing people to upload digital files?
What if the US....
France are being cocks here, but the US is even worse and you know it.
Expect none of what you mentioned is relevant to the conversation. And which country has not invaded another country? The distance is just another distraction.
I am having a hard time reading what you wrote with all the grammar and spelling errors. I think you are saying that you believe that I love and adore ads. I don't, but at the same time, I do not want to go back to the way the internet was in the 90s.
In some cases, the cures that people suggest are worse than the disease.
If I had to go back to a browser that did not support ad-blocking, it would radically change what sites I use. In some ways, though, using these ad-blockers to fix the readability of these sites hurt our desire for less intrusive ads since the publishers do not see their visits drop.
Ireally wouldn't mind seeing ads which are tasteful, non-obtrusive, and are targeted to me.
A lot of people see that as a privacy invasion. I block ads because they annoy me but I'm not able to muster up the personal outrage and self-righteousness that a lot of people (not say you) see to have when using a site freely.
Now the ones that give you fake download buttons and stuff like that are dishonest and immoral. Those are what usually get me to install an adblocker on a new install (but I don't whitelist sites once the blocker is installed.)

Very nice - thank you

10 times the salary? Do you report to the CEO or something?
I'm a manager and am suddenly feeling very underpaid :)
Didn't we have a whole group of democrats dothat in Wisconsin to prevent Scott Walker's bill regarding government benefits?
LOL - where do we stop with that line of thinking?
So you're alleging burger flippers have less rights to go to the movies than anyone else? How gauche.
Going to the movies is now a "right?"

Try to do business with a country under US embargo, the US will go after you wherever you are
I can't recall us invading or going after Canada for ignoring the Cuban embargo.

I'm sure most people want the internet to go back to the same content it had in the 90's../sarcasm
This "commercial bullshit" is what has driven up the speed of our connection as well as the amazing amount of content types available online.
If you want a 90's style internet, turn off javascript and enjoy all the non-commercial sites you want.

Or Obama referring to Isis as a jv team?

Saddam was an idiot, had he come clean, he could have avoided the whole mess.
Exactly. He was trying to maintain his bluster and it blew up in his face
Or like Obama ran his companies, or Hilary, or Sanders, or...
Wait, do any of the democrats actually have experience creating private sector jobs?
Let me know once you have done it
How can I get paid to schill for the democratic party? Do you only have to post on Slashdot or do you have to hit multiple sites?
Who am I kidding? You will never read this post. Your job isn't to engage in an actual discussion otherwise you would deal in facts.
My favorite is still this one
http://science.slashdot.org/co...
By the time the smoke cleared, almost 20 percent of the posts were these schill posts.
How would they do that? Contact walmart/samsung/apple/etc and ask them to send you a check to pay for advertising space on your blog?
Oh yes, it is so un-American to accept the world's tired, poor, huddled masses.
I don't see that quote anywhere in the Constitution. Or are you talking about the poem that wasn't added to the Statue of Liberty until 1903?
