You mean like, when the United States massacrated the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, right?

i wonder what the public opinion would be if the true "horrors of war" were shown on TV?
You know, soldiers massacrating people (which is what war is, literally).

Would they still call them "boys" as in "bring our boys back home"? Will they be received as heroes?

The Epson 1430 I bought last year has the same print head and driver as the R220 I bought 10 years ago. It's exactly the same quality. Nothing has changed. They are incredibly good images with a 6-color ink set (even better if you get 11-color printers but that's over the top).

Well, you know, when everyone has a problem with you, the problem isn't everyone. The problem is you.

Sorry to break it to ya, dude, but you're the "special little snowflake". Your points are just anecdotical. Not everyone is a miserable loser like you, who (still) blames the school system for all their problems.

Sorry.

They have an office in Argentina. But that's not the point here.

We're talking about a US company, selling a product in/from the US to Argentina, but paying taxes in Ireland. If the product was made in the US, with US technology, from a US datacenter, manned by US people... why does the income go to Ireland?

I live in Argentina. I pay Facebook Ads to a company called Facebook Ireland. I'm dealing with a US company (Facebook, Inc.) which provides me a service in Argentina (targeted ads), from the US (where their servers are located), and yet my money goes to Ireland.

I wonder why.

and i think this is the whole point of it. These companies (Facebook, Apple, WhatsApp, Google, etc), all want you to use their dumbed down, one-size-fits-all product. There are no options to customize anything. Everything else is not available to the user, or is hidden. Firefox is also jumping in on this idea that people don't want any buttons, and that you should just remove everything from the UI. Now you can't even turn off JS from the GUI without a plugin (sorry, an add-on).

So, facebook comes in boring blue. All images are the same size. all text is the same color. You get out of your 9-to-5 work at a cubicle and go into your facebook cubicle.

But the thing is: a lot of people want to customize things. Guys just loooove slick blue-on-black. Girls love iOS omg white with cute handwritten font. But no. These companies don't let you take that decision. It's not up to you. Do people suck at "theming" their computers? GOD YES, "menu bar" background images are just horrible. but some people like it. Even if it's horrible, it looks good to them, and guess what? Just let it be. Let the user be able to skin their stuff. Why go all soviet on them?

So people find ways to do this with "alternative" apps that do more harm than good (like those facebook "plugins" that let you add emoticons and shit - guess what! Facebook had to incorporate that. )

And yes. I remember MySpace. I remember what a pain it was. how truly AWFUL those profiles looked like. Completely unreadable, just garbage. But that's how the owner of the profile liked it. So, let it be. What's next? Municipalities telling people what color they should paint their house? (oh yes, that already exists in some "communities" in the US)

He used an euphemism, and he's right. You're being a pedantic idiot. peering, management, power and data centers are STILL THERE. It doesn't cost more money to transfer more data. Capital costs and operational costs are THE SAME wether you transfer 400 terabytes or 400 megabytes. In the end there's just consumers paying a monthly fee for a service wether they use it or not.
And you want to serve those clients for PEAK demand. Just like you do with power.
That kid downloading torrents really is just a drop in the ocean compared to the thousands of people NOT torrenting but still paying for their service.

CTO/CIO IS a political position. CTO sits at the table with the CEO and the board. Do you think a scruffy bearded neck with a hawaiian shirt and flip flops has ANY chance of doing that?

I have Programming Perl. Bought 15 years ago, and I used to consult it a lot.

Now I just google the information. Easier to find than on the book...

Books are nice and have a romantic feeling about them. But e-docs are oh god so much more convenient.
