Comment SDCard slot (Score 1) 148

My favorite reason for people not wanting to buy a phone

SDCard slot: no

Because not all OEM's want to pay M$ for having a SDCard

M$ owns FAT, any phone that uses a SDCard slot has to pay M$ a license fee

Why would any company want to go to bed with M$ is beyond me, I'm just glad there is a choice, I always choose no sdcard, I backup everything to either my own cloud or ftp server

Haven't used any M$ since 1997 and very proud of it.

A way that is completely dishonest should be treated as fraud.

I fail to see how it's dishonest. When they're logged off they are unavailable by definition; there's nothing in the rules that says they can't coordinate their unavailability, and the whole point of being an Uber driver is being able to work only when you want to do so. They're simply using the system to their benefit - and if you're upset with that, you need to direct your anger at people way, way farther up the socio-economic ladder, as well as a very long way back in history. And hey - the drivers didn't actually create this specific system which allows one party to take advantage of another - that would be Uber's 'accomplishment'.

Interesting

I would assume that you are young and college educated, and I assume educated in the US (this all explains the way of thinking)

It is price fixing + cheating

I can go on to say what else is wrong with your thinking, but, not sure if you would be able to grasp it

"Cheating" the system is why this country is so fucked up, and people like you that think it's ok, it is embarrassing sometimes to be an American

Corporatism, cheating, and greed fucked this country big time, I do miss the 50's and 60's

ROFLMFAO

Do you see the trend here $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ greed, filthy greed that made us looooooose are rights for profit, greed has ruined this country, not smoking, drinking, sex

Oh, what about the children !!

One of the only countries in the world that does drug tests to work (illegal in countries outside the US because it invades privacy and is against the law to do so), my time off weekends, vacation, I should be able to smoke a joint if I want to and not be punished. lol free country, my privacy rights my @ss

One of the only countries in the world that does credit checks to work/etc ...

Outside the US, 18 years old (except Canada, 19) and you are an adult and can do what you please, smoke, drink, sex, etc ..

I could go on, I won't, I am embarrassed at what has happened to this country and people like you that think this stuff is ok, perhaps you should live in russia or china= communism, oh wait, even in a communism state you don't have drug tests to work, you can smoke, drink, sex, hell they actually have more freedom and fun than the US, talk to Snowden or anyone else that has been there, I have, I had a great time.

Pay for education/health insurance ?? No-one in this GREAT, FREE country should pay for education/health insurance (greed)

We are a third world country when it comes to education/health insurance, and the most expensive, and it shows, just read this whole discussion, look at the people saying 18 is not old enough to smoke, drink, live, but, work to 70+ years old, then enjoy a few years of life after the government & states drained so much money and rights from you.

You can go to war and die at 18 but not drink or smoke ?

WTF is wrong with you people ??

Freedom, freedom, freedom (basic fscking principles of how life use to be in the US )

People wonder why other countries don't like us, mock us, laugh there @sses off at us (I own a home in the US & England, 3 of my 5 kids live & work in England).

You people must be blind or you were bought into this scheme.
The scheme being that 98% of the countries out there have more rights and freedom than the

LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE

I miss the 60's & 70's, our ancestors and founding fathers are rolling in their graves at what the fsck has happened to this country

Home of the free & brave BULLSH!T

I wonder how many people in my age group 61-70 agrees with any of this bulls!t that these young spoiled whippersnappers are trying to say is justified.

The USA is one fsck up place to live now and is getting worse.

It makes me sick to my stomach to see most of these responses and people trying to justify ......

Debian is the leader

Oh, so you think ubuntu is, hrhr

Like most people like you that have no clue, without debian, ubuntu wouldn't exist, ubuntu is based on debian.

It's astonishing how many people don't know that

Now, go play with your antiviri, malware, spybot, rootkit, updaters and reboot a few dozen times in between updates and in the mean time, I will get some work done on my debian sid system.

Fragmentation ? You can blame this on ubuntu

How many distro's are based on ubuntu ?

97% of people that use ubuntu, don't even know that ubuntu is based on debian, *one of the oldest distro's out there.

Once ubuntu gets it's hands on the frozen 6 month snaphot of debian, it ubuntizes it and makes it not binary compatible with debian and releases it to the public and the public and tech writers go all lolly gaga
