Not my fucking problem people if are retarded

Unless you're being paid for supporting them, and then it kinda is, y'know. Because that's what you're drawing a paycheck for.

Because you haven't downloaded the 'Samba Filesharing for Android' app yet. Did you even look?

Privacy is a valid concern. However...

I've had HDDs give me warning, and I've had HDDs fail without any warning. People have gone to their backups and found them unreadable. People have lost their tape drives, bought another one, and found out that their old tape drive was fracked and creating tapes that no other drive could read. It takes a tiered backup solution to be more reliable than Google, who will almost certainly give you months of notice before they take down a service.

I agree with calm down, but I also agree that it's stupid. When you put your text in monospace, what you are saying is "I am a special snowflake, so you should read this text even though it is more difficult than if I didn't set a special style that I only use because I am a hipster." So if that's how you want to come across, by all means, keep setting your comments in monospace. If you've set a flag that makes all your comments enter in monospace, then you're an extra-hipster.

When has Google ever dropped one of their services without providing months of notice to the unpaying users first?

You really don't think that's going to be solved by the community?

You mean XBMC can't just slow everything down by a fraction of a percent?

Name one.

I don't buy display devices with networking built into them. That's stupid.

If it's halfway competent and doesn't try to lock you into using their shitty store and launcher, then all it will need is a real recovery to be everything the Ouya wasn't.

I bought Ouya, it was unremitting shit and didn't even work right, so I took it back. I won't preorder Android hardware again (I didn't kickstart, just preordered Ouya from a store, so I could return that POS) but I will give this machine a go if it reviews well.

You should be able to afford to raise a family on half of that, even in the Bay Area... unless you keep buying new cars, bought a house you couldn't afford... and generally just represent the kind of person who the people who grew up in the area you moved into despise.

Nah. It was attacking a supporting argument to his spoken point.

That is, there is no consensus at all that global warming needs to be 'solved' or even how to 'solve' it if it does need to be solved. There's no consensus that it's a problem, which was implicit in that guy's response.

His point was that science journalists and scientists never could be fooled by similar claims, but they already post silly claims all the time related to AGW, like this one by a scientist, which was widely reported before being debunked by other scientists (and soon by time as well).

Every time I see this, I mentally replace the word "good" with the word "true".

A - gun makers have been sued in civil courts, wich are completely different than criminal courts.

B - everyone who has ever sued a gun maker because someone was killed with a gun has lost, namely because it's legally accepted that blaming inanimate objects for what people do with them is idiotic.

20 Mbps isn't broadband, under the administrations new rules. The subsidies start at 25 Mbps in rural areas and the plan is to require at least 100 Mbps. Can you get 100 Mbps for $20? Probably not, but if you you slacked off in high school, you'll be able to get it and have someone else pay for it now.

So why can't Android just use fucking Samba?!

No, it's not the same story. The story now is about what Sourceforge did after that (i.e., locking the GIMP-for-Windows developer out of his account -- despite the fact that he had not "abandoned" it as Sourceforge claimed -- and distributing the crapware-bundled installer anyway).

Well, (D) and (R) often represent different corporations. There's only a few, like the investment banks and cable companies who bribe everyone.
