Are you seriously making the argument that Bernie is being a hypocrite because he doesn't use Medicare--a system he does not qualify for? This has been a dumb thread, but that post takes the cake.

No doubt -- and what do you do if you set up a very strong passcode, and later forgot what it was? Rot in jail for the rest of your life, because you can't convince the police that you genuinely forgot it and aren't just trying to stonewall them?

Yes. Amazingly enough the courts have gone along with this.

Even a strong passcode isn't much use against a search warrant unless you're willing to go to jail indefinitely to maybe prevent the feds from unlocking your phone.

Yes Boondoggle. The Patriot missile sites out in Europe are in no way the SDI that Reagan tried to sell to the American people. They completely fail to achieve the stated goal of the SDI of protecting from intercontinental ballistic missile threats. One can argue that it was one of the many factors that caused the collapse of the Soviet Union, but you can not argue that it was a primary factor. It did cause a lot of international tension over the possibility of losing MAD, but in practice it never got close enough to deployment to actually matter.

This was a giant boondoggle in the 80s, and it's just as stupid today. I have no doubt Trump has visions of X-Wings flying around protecting America from space Muslims but it's completely divorced from the reality of the world. Is he worried that he's not building up debt fast enough? That's absolutely not a problem thanks to his disastrous tax bill.

I like how Wordpad never comes up in this discussion. In theory it can do everything notepad can do but even better, but it has one deadly misfeature that prevents me from using it regularly. In notepad when you drag a file onto the window it opens the file. In Wordpad it embeds a link to the file in your document, a feature that nobody has ever found useful. It means you need to use the File->Open dialog and navigate to your file, which is much clunkier than dragging and dropping it into the window, so we continue to use notepad even though it isn't very good.

The big problem with Notepad++ is that it is not installed by default. I'm not downloading a package on someone else's machine just so I can edit a file. Updates to the default apps are a big deal for me, because I often don't have anything else.

They've been letting the DVD rental part attrition over the past few years. It's really sad. I've been getting lots of broken or badly scratched disks too.

My first thought was that this is a net loss for Netflix, but in practice the reviews have a disappointingly low signal to noise ratio. So many "Only watched 5 minutes before I turned this garbage off, worst movie ever!" in between the blatant shills calling it some kind of masterpiece and downvoting anyone who dared to point out that it's garbage. There is nothing so bad in the Netflix catalog that its first 10 reviews aren't all 5 stars and talking about how brave the director is for putting up 90 minutes of white noise interspersed with some irrelevant stock footage and how it got a standing ovation at their film festival.

Wait, nevermind, it's 15%. Still surprisingly low.

From the link in the post above mine. Scroll down to the video card section and click to expand it.

Wow, less than 1% of Steam users have AMD cards? That seems hard to believe given how much OEMs love AMD.

So the regulators are just now waking up to the fact that this ICO explosion is almost entirely scams and money laundering? Are they going to take another two years to actually start prosecuting? This whole situation is completely ridiculous and the government has been sitting on the sidelines going "this is fine".

The problem with that emulator is that it emulates an entire phone screen, not just one app. There's no OS integration which makes for a terrible experience.

Please continue to buy our 10xx series cards. Do not wait for the next generation, and definitely don't wait for AMD's next release.
