Not specifically with the computer, but getting systems/cables set up for presentations or work in a new location. It's pretty handy when you're a consultant. I sure as shit don't miss the work, though.

Wait... games on CDs don't have DRM on them? Since when?

Is that why half the time I don't get what I order when I get fast food? It's all starting to make sense...

You've had AC's disabled for a while, eh? I only ever see a few frosty pisses or goatse's or whatever per discussion, and a lot more useless shit from people who've actually signed in.

You do realize that range of temperatures is from the low point at night to the high point during the day, right? I see nothing "impressive" about the range of temps. It looks like a perfectly normal forecast. Perhaps you're just not acquainted with how weather is predicted and reported?

I see you haven't used Android much. I've been able to dictate text in any app that used the keyboard since Android 2.1 released. So for almost 2 years now. As well as having the voice commands. Yes, the control of the phone is more simplistic with the voice commands on Android, but being able to dictate an email and such has been great on Android for a long time now.

Pretty sure you're violating the license by doing that... the extension pack is only free for personal use. Not business use.

I'm a professional software developer, but I can also manage clients, build things, grow food, play sports, and even bag groceries.

I will call anyone an idiot that has an opinion on something without taking at least a bit of work to get to actually understand what they're asking. Good users are a joy to work with, they listen to you when you speak about what you're an expert about. The idiot users are the ones that say shit like "It's just a button, it can't be that hard to add 'Search' to the app"

The iPhone locks you into Apple and only Apple... iTunes to do anything with your device, expensive proprietary cables, random removal of applications that don't meet their nebulous "standards"... not seeing how your inequivalence is valid.

Shouldn't it be the other way around...? Isn't that why Apple brought out the patent guns in the first place, because they thought Samsung was too much like them and they couldn't compete?

Not really. The only ripping I've had that is pretty solid is AnyDVDHD, and that's Windows-only AFAIK.

Yes, let's get rid of the last vestiges of our "ownership" of any kind of media.

That's the weird thing... on Starcraft 2 (from the article), the jitter was more pronounced on the single chips than in the multi-GPU configurations. It's not that simple ;)

Because it's cheap and easy!

There are certain markets where there's just no feasible way to compete with the entrenched players. If some company wanted to compete in GSM, they'd have to buy spectrum (oh, AT&T and various other providers own it all? And AT&T specifically owns all the world-standard GSM spectrum? And they don't want to sell? Too bad). On top of that, they'd be fighting against a company that could just drop their prices until the new rival runs out of cash, and then raise them back up. That's basically what monopolies do, and why we make monopolistic practices illegal.

You CANNOT go to other providers to GSM except in name only. They only "compete" as long as AT&T allows them to, and their calls will always have second-class status on AT&T's networks. That means if it gets busy, your phone is the first one to be cut off.

I'm guessing it's your ignorance coupled with your misplaced sense of superiority that makes you come across so stupid. Something like the Dunning-Kruger effect.

I wish I could mod this up ;)
