They could play sound frequencies that are normally classified as "bass" - I'm a dreamer

My buddy when he stays with me turns my closed captioning off and then watches tv loud enough for me to hear it outside.

Conservative. You keep using that word.

I do not think it means what they think it means . . .

Please use "American Right" for sake of clarity. It's like scientology, with more guys named Brandon and less electrical dohikys . . . same amount of enjoying low taxes and not being called out for going after the marginalized.

Seriously though, these people paying interest on loans 20 years old need to buckle down and pay it down . . . amirite?

Well . . . yeah.

Hmmmm you sound an awful lot like an emacs guy . . .

Epic is just one of the best at sucking the life blood out of gamers.

Being in business with Apple (developer, supplier) is this side of being going in to Wal Mart buyers. People still see it as a huge windfall to get a lock in with them, but it's just having a "not going out of business, deep-pocket vendor/supplier".

There's no secret that Apple is a test on the robustness of your business/contract skills and your patents . . . but the only reason they get the most attention is that they don't have a different rule for everyone they do business with. Sometimes businesses that are mom-and-pop get a break, more frequently, businesses that are Walmart and Google get a HUGE break . . .

Qualcomm is a good example. They were dinging everyone for using standards they had patents intertwined with. Some big companies got big breaks - they thought they were going to take Apple to the cleaners so they didn't pay - it got dragged out until they were forced to offer at the same rates. Qualcomm caved because the "why is anyone paying" argument was gaining some serious traction.

  Looking at the 'renting software' trend that almost everyone is going to, it's obvious there is virtually no one that's not going for any cash grab they can get.

Halnon's Razor wishes to weigh in on him, the person that wrote the article, and pretty much everyone posing here first.

You Philistine! Can't you see we're trying to snipe at each other with divisive absurdities and generalizations without you interjecting your stupid facts? Honestly, I wonder how ANYTHING gets done with these kind of distractions from stuff we could be busy not fixing even though it's not rocket science . . .

So, we're going to put up the guy from Revelation of John (AI) up against Jormungandr (free to play, pay to win)?

I see no downside. It's like Cthulhu or Giant Meteor instead of another Election cycle? Yes, please. Either.

Did you just DE-conjugate a verbed adjective back into an adjective with the residuals?

Man, all that's missing is calling it a pronoun. I miss English, or at least SOME English.

I thought their unusable UI and ads prevented actual users from putting more than 1 and 1/2 piece of content together without having to copy out to a text editor and pattern match?

Are we talking about an exploit or Uncle Roy clicking on everything he gets again?

Gimmie my deck and a jack and leave me the f alone.

Oh, and a Texas catheter

So, if you've got a prescription for ADD, you've finally dialed in a usable dose, you've disciplined yourself into taking it, you go through the 'paper prescription' and 'show your license' bull - well, you might not get it.

Pretty much anyone I know with an important job (not 'important', I mean, the people that FIX things) is now farked and going to go off the deep end. Hmm. Yeah, lots of really helpful things around here are going to break and pretty much it's what we deserve.

Good plan. Yay war on drugs.

Yup, instead of giving me something almost, but not quite, entirely incorrect weather, I got nothing.

Surprisingly NOT an improvement . . .

I wanted to be a weatherman for years . . . having the inverse proportionality to doing it wrong to getting fired. Then I saw some of the schiat that DBAs pull and I was in awe.
