I get the feeling you're going to head down that familiar root pointing out that x is really just a refined version of y - where y is some technology that originated 30 years ago. Barring that, I can only assume you've been living with the Amish. Either way, it'll be just as productive if I pretend to be playing Pong.
Shush. Pong.
I like your style, sir!
However, everyone seems to forget that SnapChat is in touch with almost 99% of all youth and a very large percentage of all smartphone users.
A "customer base" MUCH larger than anything PrimeSense will EVER dream of touching.
Heinz has a user base much larger than Intel's. A comparison between Heinz and Intel seems just as disjointed and useless as comparing SnapChat's user base (online service for consumers) with PrimeSense (licensing tech and selling niche hardware to geeks).
Yeah. I wish some other stuff had happened in the past 30 years. Anyway, can't talk. Going to go play some Pong.
Those 70s wankers? The microprocessor 'aint nothing more than a shrinked down bunch of people with calculators.
Calculators? They 'aint nothing more than a jumped up abacus.
Leave it in an unlocked car in Lewisham. It'll be gone in an hour.
But I like the advertisment, your PR team is awesome to have submitted this to slashdot!
Yeah. It's a very exclusive and highly selective process to get a story on Slashdot.
Hopefully from here on we'll be seeing a story for every single iOS/Android app release.
"Mommy! the stole my marbles, can you buy me more?"
USSSSLiers on the loose.
Now what? Anonymous have MD weapons in their keyboards?
They are hacked by themself, nobody believes them but them.
Bahh, Bollocks!
Is this a modern take on The Jabberwocky?
Editors, would you exercise some kind of fucking diligence here?
Ripoffreport is a random soundboard for anything. For example: a search for the word "meth":
Jenny muniz Jenevieve muniz Crystal meth addict. thief. con. burnt down her mothers house. las vegas Nevada
Apple Unlimited owned by Dave Apple Manipulative crystal meth addict sexually harasses employees and takes advantage of employees...and gets away with it Virginia Beach Virginia
FRANKIE LEE DEAVER DEAVER, FRANKIE LEE SCAM ARTIST !!! METH HEAD !!!! ADDICT !!!! CHRONIC JAILBIRD !!!! ANDERSON Missouri
Follow the link to kutv. It mentions Ripoffreport asking a 2000 dollar fee to remove her feedback? An important point missing from the summary. Is this true? If so, why is this mentioned but not mentioned in Techdirt's article or otherwise followed up?
Isn't there a legitimate mechanism to be used when Kleargear, a company that tries too hard to be geeky, is alleged to lie to credit agencies? Kleargear seems to be a bit iffy. They plaster their site in "verified by x" badges. Buysafe? What the fuck is that? I don't know, but for some reason I'm reassured that this hitherto unknown company guarantees this site is inspected and monitored. They have a TRUSTe seal! Wow, they've promised to abide by security policies that'll most likely never be inspected. TRUSTe means fuck all positive. Oh, but wait. They carry a badge from inc.com! Meh, it's the LinkedIn of companies. I'm a professor at MIT, and I have a 14" dick. If you believe that then TRUSTe probably means something to you.
tl;dr: Kleargear is at best a company that protests far too much. Ripoffreport is as good a source of information as YouTube comments. Slashdot editors don't bother following any links,and Slashdot is somewhere between The Weekly World News and Heat magazine.
1) Unjustified self-importance: applications that, even when not running, insist on having daemons running for updates or whatever else. If it's not core to the utility if the application then just fuck off.
2) Freebies that keep begging me to buy stuff. I'll either buy this or I'll take something for free. If the latter then don't be disingenuous.
3) stuff I paid for that gives me adverts. I paid for this, so fuck off when you either decide to use DLC or adverts to repeatedly well me shit that interferes with my user experience.
Well played, sir/madam!
Heh, true. The UN could pass a non binding resolution of "steady on there, lads!"
Fortunately CS gas, among other chemical weapons, was banned from use in war. There's plenty left for civilian pacification!

It's great! Spray this stuff on an enemy army and you end up in the Hague. Lob it at your citizens and everything is just fine.
Yeah, removing the second jobs and one off fees would make sense. British MPs are not under-paid by any stretch of the imagination. It seems the average is £66,396 ($106,812), which is comfortably above the median salary for the UK. They also have a raft of expenses they can pull.
Anyone wanting to get rich by sitting on numerous boards and committees should be actively discouraged from seeking office. I'd rather see people in this to do the job, and with the salary as it stands I don't see issues in finding suitably qualified candidates. I'd understand as well that the government may well employ advisors on higher salaries, due to a need for specific expertise, but MPs do not require high expertise in any discipline that should be commanding salaries higher than the ones they already have. Obviously salary would vary based on their position - such as the Home Secretary probably pulling in more than a vanilla MP.
