Comment Wait? (Score 1) 686

The internet has ads? Since when? I haven't seen an ad online since 2004 since I learned about Privoxy, and the hosts file modification, and later Ad-Block, and Ghostery. I refuse to use the internet without ad blocking. For fuck sake, I even have all ads blocked on my smartphone. I NEVER see ads online.

Work minimum wage for the rest of your life, and quit your bitching. After all, being completely willing to take minimum wage for the rest of your life will ensure that you will never be priced out of the market. Quit your bitching, and so long as you get paid, work for it. I am willing to do anything for minimum wage. I highly doubt I will ever even make $25,000 per year. Do I have goals beyond keeping myself and small family alive? Nope. I will likely die at work on the clock. Dreams are for people who have too much time on their hands. If you have time to "dream", you could be using that time to work and make money. Get a grip on reality, before reality gets a grip on you. "Dreaming" is for college students who have no realistic expectations out of life, and think everything will be handed to them just for breathing. Guess what? You don't get "extra credit" for breathing. Now keep up with the market, and realize what you are worth. Absolutely nothing. You are easily replaceable.

Because a bunch of bush niggers that have no electricity, safe running water, agricultural system, modern health care, houses constructed with modern materials up to code, mobile phones, computers, etc could REALLY benefit from having broadband access while outrunning a lion chasing their ass for food. That makes a lot of sense.

Submission + - Mashable Found a Free Smartphone Embedded Inside Entertainment Weekly (geek.com)

The world around us is rapidly adapting to the knowledge that our smartphones can serve as advertisement delivery systems. It seems like you can’t walk down the street now without seeing a QRcode or a Microsoft Tag for something, to say nothing of the “download our app” images in every magazine and commercial. You’d have to do something extra crazy to stick out in a magazine these days, even if that meant embedding a small screen in your magazine ad to offer information in real time. In fact, that’s exactly what The CW accomplished when they embedded a smartphone into this week’s Entertainment Weekly."

or if you lose it, a 6' long broom stick works well enough to change the channel, adjust the volume, and turn of the TV from the comfort of your chair. Hint: tape a cotton ball to the end of the stick that hits the buttons, so you don't accidently break them when you miss your target. Put white masking tape on your buttons so they are more easily visible.
