Undoing accidental mod

So your argument is basically "yes you'll have a forced social account you don't want (which if you follow the rules has to be in your name,) but it's not that bad." Fuck you and Google.

I've had a gmail account almost as long as it's been out, I love my Nexus 5. I'm not someone who flips out over small issues (IMHO,) - but I'm seriously considering dropping all google services due to forced integration, and several of my friends are in the same boat. If I can't have contacts outside of G+ I'll drop them without another thought. Google is new in the completely pissing off customers market - but with the forced integration of Youtube, G+ nags, etc. they're catching up quickly.

Well that explains some of the weirdness with Slashdot. Not only do they customize posts for each subdomain, they actually tailor each post for each user. Also they're ph balanced for Windows, but strong enough for Linux!

Posting to undo my mod, parent is funny, not insightful.

It's always a good idea to use the cloud to host crucial business systems with no fallback plans in case there are problems. Heck, the cloud is good for anything! Personally, my "waste processing" system is routed through the cloud. Sure that two week outage last month was a bit uncomfortable, but I had considered the ramifications of this design before implementing it, as I'm sure you guys did.

As far as your other complaints go, I can't say I'm impressed. Change a few options and you're good to go.

Nice troll bro

Both of them?

Isn't this one we can pretty much all agree is /b/'s fault?

Don't mind if I do...

When asked about his feelings towards one of his current partners Google, Murdoch proposed he and his old friends yank off the news they currently provide. Murdoch said he prefers (Steve) Jobs, and the warm embrace of Apple. He feels that the new iPad is (locked) tight enough that they may be able to avoid unwillingly spewing their content on loads of customers.

I DID plan on talking to her! I even wrote some (pseudo) code for said conversation:

if (!ArmPitsSmell() && CrustinessOfClothes() != OH_MY_GAWD_TOO_CRUSTY) {
        var sexytime = Girl.ComplimentTeeth();
        if (sexytime) {
                FeelBoobs();
                CleanPants();
        } else {
                AssumeFetalPosition();
        }
}

I tried to sign up, but during the login process a wild pack of jocks showed up and gave me a wedgie of galactic proportions, stole my lunch and banged the picture of a girl I planned on talking to eventually.

Hearing this news saddened me at first, then it angered me into action. I've setup an online donation fund here. With a small $50 weekly donation from 30 or 40 million of you, Bill can continue to live the kind of life he's used to. Won't somebody think of Bill Gate's children!

to the tune of 18 and life

ricky was a ubisoft dev. he faced specs in stone
worked 9 to 9, and typed his fingers to the bone
one day his boss came round, grunts "idea me have one"
those users steal our game, so we're gonna tie it down
he had no morals, oooh no girl at home,
he thew in some sick DRM which left users alone and then

3 days and change it lasted
3 days and change online
Their plan was fine until
3 days and change online

Did he offer to buy the Caprica Bucs as well?

It's ironic: in "2001" (the movie) Kubrick had to use analog methods to simulate digital technology. But by 2001 (the year), filmmakers were using digital technology to simulate analog objects. [imdb.com]

There's an "In Sovient Russia" joke in there somewhere
