Now you know why you need 30 round magazines. And lots of them. 

I’m sure it would take a major effort to bring down the entire Internet but what if you just took out a couple major hubs and let the domino effect take down the rest? Maybe you wouldn’t even need ground troops, just a couple dozen hackers with access to the right systems.

Even without the “knuckle buster” card swipe you can simply put the card under a piece of paper and scribble a pencil over it to capture the numbers. Or just use your phone to snap a pic. There are many ways to handle CC. The real question will be how long before you can process them and collect your cash?

Actually, .22LR will be the new currency. More 22s out there than just about anything. Water will vary across the US. Here in the NW we probably won’t worry too much about water. Arizona might be a different case.

Say hello to my little friend(s)

I’m sure I’m going to start a ruckus with this but I think it’s not so much that guys do this more often but rather that women are, perhaps, a bit more discriminating than men. If a guy walks up and kisses a woman he’s likely to get his face slapped or worse and she will be offended. If a gal walks up and kisses a guy…

No, he’s saying the men are often seen as the aggressor in most sexual assault cases when in fact, women can be just as aggressive. He’s not suggesting it’s OK to molest anyone, drunk or otherwise.

There should be no rules that call for this level of interpretation. Smooth clap, abrupt clap, what’s next? I’m sorry but that tackle was just a little too abrupt. 

True. The government or some customer would have to bring a suit against Apple for violating Magnuson.

Familiarity is a factor, but also it’s the investment you’ve made into a platform. I have several paid apps, and some of them are expensive Marine GPS Navigation apps, and the move to Android would cost me a fair penny.

No, that area would not be a void of metal. It would be eliminated. I have an HP latop. The upper part of the keyboard is a strip about 1 inch wide, nothing like this thing. Pull out that 6 inch space expand the keyboard a bit and eliminate most of the bottom section of the screen bezel and the whole package could be…

I don’t know that I agree with this. First, you can test your Excel calculations using the Evaluate Formula. It will step you through each calculation of the formula and it will tell you if a number comes from a hard coded number or a separate calculation. I’ve used this many times to validate my math and confirm that…

I’m not sure that’s a real defense is it? A transmission is an integral part to a car and cannot operate without it, but you can have your local mechanic swap that out with no impact to the rest of the warranty on your car.

I was using the term employee generically, meaning you have to be certified by Apple, whatever that entails. My point is much like an auto mechanic doesn’t have to be “certified” by Ford to work on your car you shouldn’t have to require an Apple certified repair center to replace a battery or screen. 

This was the same thing that caught my eye. You can have logic errors in programs just like spreadsheets. I know, I had plenty of them when I took programming classes in college.

I’m not saying that anyone can fix an iPhone but there’s no reason for a tech to be an Apple employee either. And, as the article pointed out, Apple has made it difficult even if you’re using Apple parts.

The first thing I would say is why do you think Apple can train Apple employees to properly replace a battery but no one else can do the same? I’ve had car repairs done by a dealer that were shit. Anyone can screw up, even Apple repair people.

That’s why bullies exist on the playground until the grownups start cracking down on that bullshit.

Maybe you should stop acting like an arrogant ass-hat and get a clue. The “problem” isn’t access to fiber. You seemed to have missed the entire point of the article. Did you read it? The problem is that it is expensive to deploy the necessary infrastructure and since there is a lack of competition the current…

Apple and wingnuts. And, by the way, you might not realize it but there is competition for utilities. In my area we don’t have natural gas lines running to all houses so we use propane. There are several propane companies that I can use here. Also, if you build a house you can put in a generator or solar panels if you…
