And if I want the fix on the smartphopne so I can see the code to type into my pc?

Yeah...

Google has explicitly said that they weigh search results to focus on sites that are friendly to smart phones.

So If I am trying to fix a an old computer I won't actually see a fix immediately because the fix might be on a snitz forums 2000 that will never ever be on a mobile phone.

...ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!

        Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.

I guess the United States is ahead of the world when it comes to the freedom to speak.

It's a bit shocking that other governments need to make sure that everyone is politically correct and doesn't bully people, and are forced to accept other peoples opinions without being able to actually address them.

My Mom once told me that if I swim in the sewer, , I'll start to smell like it.

If a person considers a site to be bad - stop swimming in that sewer.

I don't get the rant.

What I got from the article is they want to offload computing to peoples hand held devices.

Which is stupid. Why should anyone burn up their data limit for shared computing?

I still don't understand the hype for them.

The last four vehicles I owned - Escort zx-2 that one had a check engine light come on from a faulty sensor in the first ten thousand miles. Nissan pickup - that one after two years started stalling and stopping on damp days because of a fuel sensor, my mercury sable had a sensor break in the first 5000 miles - when the check engine light popped on , I pulled into the dealership at closing time and forced them to fix it. I have a jeep wrangler now, and whenever the outside temp goes over 89 degrees f and I turn the air conditioning on, the car shudders and jerkes then the check engine light pops on with a low speed idle fault in the OBD (finally bought an obd kit to clear faults to pass inspection).

The point is, I've owned 4 brand new cars, and each car had faults.

How can anyone expect that the car driving itself won't fault and cause cataclysmic accidents? maybe 100,000 cars will be perfect. Maybe a 1,000,000 cars will be perfect. But based on my experience - I'll be freaking terrified if everyone else has self driving cars.

I worked for an Allstate agent.

He and his wife went on a two week company paid "business trip" to Monte Carlo in Monaco - the room they stayed in was over 500 bucks a night (paid airfare +per Diem). This was for their top 1000 agents plus the allstate corporate folks.

For the "business meetings" they had a few seminars to attend, and a party night - I forget which star they had perform that time - but since they do this yearly - one of the stars was Huey Lewis.

So think about the cost of that yearly party just for allstate - and think about how much cash is spent on them - then come back and talk about "collective cushion".

I have to agree, the only thing Obama has done was make Carter the second worst president in my lifetime.

I too would like an option to block polls.

I don't come here for polls.

Same here. I pay Netflix for ad free viewing.

I will stop paying for netflix when it's not ad free viewing.

Ads are meant to pay for shows. I should not be forced to pay to watch ads.

We cut the cord because of ads - not because we're willing to pay for ad free content. If comcast served up all of its content adfree - I'd jump right into comcast.

It's that simple.

Free TV can have ads.

Commercial free tv can charge for content.

This is what the consumer wants.

Yeah, /.'s lack of growth is sorta the point here.

I think he meant "rimshot" and it's the rim of the big swirly thing that flushes.

That sounds a lot like - "no, we're not going to listen, and yes, we're going to add the feature despite a request to allow the public to evaluate it."

I remember the days when I signed up for /. /. keeps changing, and the traffic keeps getting less and less.

When's the last time /. took down a site?

Prove it :) Make the poll about the poll, so we can vote.

AH HA! I have you then...

Timothy, don't get mad..
