Ours are now a bunch of mumbling, sniffing, think-accented idiots who are no help because they are graduate level, just following scripts with no understanding of how tech works and consequently no ability to diagnose or speculate things to try when the scripted approach fails. It takes a lot longer to get anything sorted. But hey, they're cheap.

mosh and screen?

> reach out to next of kin

If they couldn't reach, would they move towards them? Perhaps they could shout?

It's not quite as simple as that. myspace and friends reunited had users, but when facebook came along people took one last look back at the older, shittier sites and went "uh, yeah, bye" and jumped ship.

It's a better editor.

Regarding the message "Chances are, you're behind a firewall or proxy, or clicked the Back button to accidentally reuse a form. Please try again. If the problem persists, and all other options have been tried, contact the site administrator." you get when you post a comment sometimes. I wonder if this message has EVER been an accurate description of what's happened, rather than someone who can type, typing a short message then pressing send.

"Ahhh, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone...All the shitty shows are gone, all the idiots screaming in the fucking wind are dead, I love it...leaving nothing but a cool, beautiful serenity called Arizona Bay. That's right, when L.A. falls in the fucking ocean and is flushed away, all it will leave is Arizona Bay." - Bill Hicks.

cons: their stuff looks really boring or really shit. I know a lot of people go on about the design, but you know what feeling of "uh...wow" when you see something they did 10 years ago and remember it looking a lot better. i get that when it's new. it just looks like a obvious, cheesy "this is what stuff will look like in the future".

Who cares? The download differences (a few minutes instead of a few seconds) offsets the tedium of sorting out dependency problems. The size difference is a few pennies - who gives a shit about that?

"An entire distro distributed as Snap package is plain suicidal."

Huh?

maybe it's because they're stupid,ugly things and nobody wants them. Or can you find anything else on the market which is popular but where only one company is producing them (a category, not a brand - don't say "iPhone").

If you're not the sort of twat who says "going forward" a lot in the office (despite there being better options, such as "in future" or just...nothing) then why say it here?

> Uber Study Says Self-Driving Trucks Will Result In More Truck Drivers, Not Fewer

FTFY. It's really not a difficult rule to understand.

Or even just "data"; it's more general.

> It's legally accepted anywhere for all payment of debts and transactions.

Not all payments. Try paying more than 1000 euros in cash in france, for example for paying someone to do your kitchen, or you're selling a car.

how do they spell it?

> UFOs are just that - Unidentified Flying Objects.

Naah - that's like saying "hackers are just people who like using computers". Hackers are - in the context of what people people when you say the word hacker - people who break into other people's computers. And UFOs are aliens in flying saucers.
