I don't see why you trust Steam then, seeing as how you couldn't throw their fattest CEO very far either.

The best part is that now Linux fanboys are using the same "arguments" that were used against their baby to attack BSD. "But why should I use BSD if Linux is almost as good", or "but my graphics card!". I'm glad my Android phone is my only point of exposure to Linux, wish it could be moved to NetBSD or something though.

I'm fairly sure that if the Taliban had disavowed OBL and allowed us to fly drones and send seal teams there to kill him, we would not have invaded Afghanistan.

It's good that you didn't end up invading Afghanistan then, isn't it? Oh wait.

To be fair they didn't exactly offer you to straight up murder their resident, but a trial was offered, and after 9/11, OBL was asked to GTFO, which he most likely did to Pakistan, making the whole thing a huge useless clusterfuck.

Carrier has arrived.

Counterpoint: the police. And I don't mean the band. Also the armed forces.

What's retarded about the whole thing is that "slide to unlock" is hardly an innovation worth protecting by granting the "inventor" an artificial monopoly on its usage. Car analogy: should whoever first came up with a circular steering wheel be getting royalties from anyone having the same model of steering input?

On a personal note, I hope Apple does go after anyone using slide to unlock on a capacitative screen, it's a very annoying and pointless step. It was necessary for keypad phones since by default they could be activated by any key, but that's not the case with touchscreens.

What we do know is that he banned Apple from donating anything on the pretense that the company wasn't profitable, and never reversed that decision despite raking in record amounts of cash. As far as I know, Apple doesn't have any non-profit discounts or anything like that either. Apple also, under his guidance, maintained a policy that discouraged iphone users from easily asking or giving donations.

I think Tim Cook finally changed the stance on the very first point, not sure about the rest.

Hey there Miata buddy! I think we really need an extra gear and better aerodynamics :(

Looks like the Tesla Roadster also tops out at 125 MPH, though wikipedia claims it's limited to that speed. Whether it's limited "just because" like BMWs and MBs are, or because it would explode if it goes any faster, I don't know. I suspect though it could be the gearing - if there's just one gear (like in the Roadster) and you redline the engine at 125, well, there's nowhere to go even if it still has enough power.

More like, "I don't give a fuck about your phone you smug asshole"

The point is that while the files get fragmented exactly the same way, the SSD's fast random access means that there isn't nearly as big of a penalty when accessing highly fragmented file as with a spinning platter disk, where it causes a significant dropoff of read performance.

We don't need to do it directly from the brain.

Shuddup, of course we do!

Not only is the condition not life threatening at the moment, the rescue wouldn't achieve much since by the time the victim could be transported out of there, any damage would've been done already. Not to mention that putting her into an unpressurized plane (if it's too cold for the C130) could be dangerous by itself.

Well, the whole Apple thing was a fun little experiment, but it's all over now, time to wrap it up guys.

Ever heard of cash? Just pull out five bucks from your pocket and be done with it. Works pretty well.

Direct transfers aren't free here either, but they cost like 10 cents (depends on the bank obviously, plus purchasing power here is lower than in the US, so take that into account), but everyone uses them, instead of fucking around with checks. Why do you feel that something has to be proved to you for free?
