Tidal streams losslessly. What his excuse for not putting his music on there?
Maybe. A bit cellphone hipster.
At the very least maybe my problem is I don't have huge pockets -- because I don't have huge pants.
Need to start being more American-sized or wear a suit so I have an inside breast pocket to keep a smartphone in.
Yeah, I wouldn't want to anyway. Would be worried about damaging the phone from my weight on it. I only use the front pocket. I used to use the skinny edge (knee) pocket when pants with those extra pockets were more popular.
A front pants pocket? Who keeps their phone in a front pants pocket?
I do.
Of course I don't know a huge smartphone, so I can still fit mine in my front pants pocket and sit down comfortably with it in there and not strain the device.
Oh, and by the way, mercury is a toxic substance with pretty specific rules with respect to disposal. I doubt leaving it in an abandoned warehouse is complying with those rules.
Yes, a business would always dispose of things properly.

I'm shaking my head already at this headline.
I wasn't really arguing against you, I was more interested in hearing how you think we can to solve this without some sort of government regulations that either enact price controls, or keep the income range from the top to the bottom from being so huge.
It seems on the Right side of the political spectrum the response is workers who aren't able to make a decent living at their jobs, regardless of how hard they work, must not be competitive on the job market. A view that ignores that there aren't currently enough well-paying jobs for everyone to get one even if they were all skilled, and that there has to be somebody to do the shitty jobs out there -- and they have to live, too. It's more a fancy way of saying "I got mine, fuck them".
And people want to raise the minimum wage to $15/hour in places that don't have California's cost of living. Same thing will happen there, costs will rise sharply and mostly on goods and services provided to the lower and middle class.
So then prices will increase and we'll be in the same boat we are now -- poor people just plain not being paid enough to really make ends meet.
What's your solution to this problem?
They will just pass this cost and its legal costs onto the consumer.
Of course they will. It's either that or they own a money printing press, right? I see this all the time: "they'll just pass the cost on to consumers". I'm at a loss to determine what you think the alternative would be.
The alternative would be to take the cost of the loss and legal costs as a hit against T-W's own profits for the quarter -- that wont happen of course, cause then it would be a punishment for the company itself (and we can't have that!). But that is how these things are meant to impact companies.

Maybe because no one wants to spend money advertising on a site associated with sexist, racist, immature dudebros.
Although that's where you're most likely to find people susceptible to advertising.
Wrong! Stop peddling that nonsense! Microsoft has repeatedly and specifically said you do not and will never have to pay a yearly subscription for Windows once you've purchased it. What it means is that there will be no more windows 'versions', that this will just be in place updates from this point.
The only problem with this is, if Microsoft is truly going to do away with system versions and move to a "rolling release" style like some other software projects -- where will they get their Windows revenue from now on?
I mean, I know they get money from system builders but if all releases will just be updates now that means Windows 10 will be the last version anyone has to buy retail. And with computers being more than powerful enough for general consumer use for years now, and Windows system requirements being rather stagnant, people aren't going to have much reason to ever buy another machine besides hardware failure of their computer.
At some point Microsoft will have to put out an update you have to pay to get -- and that's a release.
I don't think there's any reason to hunt them down.
To the systems programmer, users and applications serve only to provide a test load.
