Current PC is a Mac mini M1. Probably last another 2 years sadly.

Bought a Mac Pro in 2008, upgraded some hardware (ssds, new video card), and was able to run several macOS versions after Apple officially stopped supporting it. Great machine.

That's fine. It means more work for the IRS.

I'll never do business with them.

I still think that this acceleration is cause by it going towards something we don't know about, perhaps planet X, that is in orbit out there.

My mom experienced something similar. In her case, she had documented her employer discriminating her, and in the company settled out of court for a large sum of money.

Still, she didn't continue her employment there. She has since moved to another job where she continues to be perhaps the best employee there (or at least that is what all the notes and emails she gets from the owner indicate).

Just because you are older doesn't mean you can't do the job.

Switched to it when Google Reader died. Haven't regretted it. RSS is a HUGE part of my daily internet. Allows me to keep on top of thousands of sites.

>Do you believe rehabilitation is impossible or do you want revenge?

I don't believe that someone who commits mass murder can be rehabilitated, no. It isn't about revenge; it's about public safety.

Someone once pointed out that hoping a rapist gets raped in prison isn't a victory for his victim(s), because it somehow gives him what he had coming to him, but it's actually a victory for rape and violence. I wish I could remember who said that, because they are right. The score doesn't go Rapist: 1 World: 1. It goes Rape: 2.

What this man did is unspeakable, and he absolutely deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. If he needs to be kept away from other prisoners as a safety issue, there are ways to do that without keeping him in solitary confinement, which has been shown conclusively to be profoundly cruel and harmful.

Putting him in solitary confinement, as a punitive measure, is not a victory for the good people in the world. It's a victory for inhumane treatment of human beings. This ruling is, in my opinion, very good and very strong for human rights, *precisely* because it was brought by such a despicable and horrible person. It affirms that all of us have basic human rights, even the absolute worst of us on this planet.

So instead of regulating Uber and other "ride sharing" services......they just create another thing with potentially the same problems.

Why not just cut the BS and just regulate Uber like we do Taxi companies.......like what should have happened a long time ago.

This is precisely why I lost all interest in Oculus the instant I heard that it had been acquired by Facebook.

This is Bullshit. The problem with the iPad is that is it so well made that people who bought them are still using them. iOS 9.3 still runs on an iPad 2. For what most of us use an iPad for, web browsing, email, lite things like that, an iPad 2 still works FINE.

Heck, I still use my iPad 1, which is stuck on iOS 5. The thing works fine for Web and email, and for reading things with Good Reader and music stuff with UnReelbook.

Would I like to get an new iPad? Sure. But I don't have the $$$ to afford it at the moment. Will I when my iPad 1 dies? Yes, I will buy a new iPad. Or when my other iPad, an iPad 4, dies? Yes. But I don't see them dying for a while yet.

Yeah, but when was the last time we did that....

America......fuck yeah!

The latest episode of ATP (www.atp.fm), they heard from an Apple Engineer that Apple disables it because most makes of SSD are very inconsistent on how the TRIM command is executed. And Apple being Apple, they don't particularly want to try every SSD known to man to "support" them.

Best bet is to use a drive with a controller than does it for you. I'm sporting SSDs from OWC and I haven't had any issues in speed and I've had them for over two years now.
