That's gotta be intentional. Someone programmed it to say retard. Someone who hates pilots.
Sure that aint "point of sale?"
A drug that makes a woman want to cook dinner you say?
Why is it poop brown?
Exactly.
I've had a USB 3 motherboard for a year and a half now. Never once plugged anything into it.
Why don't the networks team up with the cable providers to split the bandwidth and hosting costs then broadcast their channels online? I mean, that's essentially what cable providers do now. They just offer the medium for delivery. Why is delivery stuck on cable? Hulu and such are a decent step towards "good", but they're definitely not good enough. I should be able to watch sportcenter any time I want online. Show me the same ads. I don't really care.
By the way, ilemi.eu streams a ton of sports. Granted, the stream you're watching might be from a non english speaking country, but sometimes that's fun. Ever watch commercials from Sweden? In a pinch, ilemi is a good website.
The day ESPN/CBS/NBCSports/FoxSports start putting all of their sports content online is the day I completely drop my cable subscription. I can't wait for this day. Currently, ESPN will show random sporting events on ESPN3.com, which is fairly reliable and not that big of a hassle. NBCSports.com is WAY ahead of the curve though. They have broadcast a number of NFL and NHL games online in which you can control the camera angle. NBC Sports is doing it right.
As for tv shows... I can't remember the last time I sat down at a television and watched any sitcom or otherwise the day and time it aired.
Why can't they figure out how to just broadcast a television station online? I mean, exact same broadcast, just online. Same commercials, same everything. Just put it on the internet. I know there would be a ton of lawyer-y issues to resolve, but I'm pretty sure EVERYONE would want to see this happen.
I disagree with your assumption that a comment should be constructive criticism. This is the internet. We're not in a creative writing workshop. Anyone is entitled to their opinion regardless of how crass or vulgar it might be. And if you don't have thick enough skin to take a joke that someone writes in the comments section then maybe you should do something in life where you don't have the ability of being judged. Like, maybe you should shelve books at a library.
Being judged by another person is one of the hardest things to deal with in life. Regardless of people saying that they don't care what others think, all of us do care and being judged shapes a lot of our lives more than we care to admit.
The fact that this guy de-stars me, and says I'm lucky I didn't get banned... what that points to is an insecure asshat that can't handle any sort of criticism. I've dealt with much worse criticisms in my life. I do stand up comedy. You think it's rough that someone posts something kinda mean in a comments section? Imagine standing face to face with a room full of strangers that don't like your act and want to tell you about it while you're talking. You can't stamp your feet and de-star people in real life.
I'm sorry if I don't feel sympathy for someone who wrote a shit article and can't take a joke.
On another note... I have no weird shit against gay people, nor do I have any real opinion about booth broads. None of this kind of shit affects me in any real way. But I do think it's a ball slappingly stupid thing to take a stance against, let alone write an article about. It's something that if one of my friends said that shit to me, I'd call them out on and give them a hard time about. I guess though, since it's the internet and this is sirius bidness, it's not acceptable to bust someone's balls. Cry me a river.
Thank you.
Penis insecurities? Where'd you draw that straw from? Think about what being a real man is? Jesus christ man.
How about this... your article sucked. The subject matter you wrote about was a complete waste of time. The headline made me read it. Reading it made me regret reading it. Chauvinist-ically joking aside, your article is just filler content. There's no substance there, and the point you try to make is piss on yourself retarded. I shake my head and wonder who the fuck pays people like you to write just complete fluff bullshit. Are you hiring? I can write stupid shit like this all day long.
Did you just wake up yesterday and think, "You know, I'm gonna write a piece about booth babes and how unnecessary I think they are"? Then you reassured yourself, "Yea, that's a good idea for an article. I haven't thought of anything worthwhile to write about in a long time, this will do for five or six hundred words." At the heart, your article is pretty self indulgent. You're such a pompous fuckwad that you think that people would care to read about your opinion of booth babes. That's not news. It's not newsworthy. It's not even good material. There's nothing there. How about this... before you decide to write another buttfuckingly stupid article ask yourself: would it be interesting if I told this to people on a stage. Like if you were on stage with a microphone and you told a crowd of strangers about your article would they give a fuck? Would they even listen? Shit would anyone in a bar even listen to your horseshit line of thinking? Like yea dude, now that you mention it, I really dislike seeing hot girls at car shows too. That shit really pisses me off.
But somehow, I'm the asshole for cracking a few jokes about it? What happened was, you wrote the article and waited for the responses. When you felt offended by what I had to say you got all pissy and took away my star, like that'll show this guy. Nobody talks poorly about something that I worked so hard on. What you failed to realize is that it's just a joke. Chill out dipshit. Don't get your panties in a bunch.
I have a feeling I'll be banned for posting this but at this point I don't really give a fuck. Gizmodo has went downhill drastically in the last year, year and a half. It probably had something to do with the fact that you guys got sued for copyright infringement and basically just cherry picked articles from all over the internet and acted like they were yours. So now all you guys do, is cherry pick the article, write a 75 word "witty" comment about the article and point people to the real website where the information came from. I mean, the amount of original and good articles that actually come from Gizmodo is very small compared to the countless half inspired bullshit you guys post. Gizmodo could learn a thing or two from Techspot or Technibble or whatever. I mean, even if I could never visit the Gizmodo website again in my life, I'm certain I could read all the same stories from their original sources just by dicking around on Stumble Upon or Reddit.
In conclusion Mat Honan, I think you're a tool. I didn't know your name or anything that you've ever produced prior to reading this article, but the fact that you got all pissy and de-starred me leads me to believe that you're probably a douchebag in real life. And if you're gonna be a writer, if that's your schtick in life, just try to write more interesting shit that people might actually want to read.
My only and natural reaction to reading this article is... dude fuck off. What kind of half a homo man traitor are you? You wrote an article about reducing vaginas near gadgets. If there's two things I love, it's gadgets and vaginas. There is no logical reason to decrease the amount of vaginas near gadgets. You fail at being a man. Please promptly turn in your man card and quit writing stupid articles.
I remember reading somewhere that it can handle video.
Please apply this to porn. I want to be able to fast forward and rewind a video with my eyes. I'm dead fucking serious. This needs to happen.
:) I *play* with my boy all day long every day. But he likes his spongebob and movies. He also likes *playing* on daddy's computer a lot. Just from watching me dick around on the computer he's figured out how to do a lot of things. Somehow he figured out how to open up chrome, navigate to youtube, and find "annoying orange" videos. I never taught him how to do any of that stuff. I think it's awesome that my son is picking up this stuff so well and I want to encourage him with computers. The pi computer is perfect for him.
I'm going to buy one of these for my son (4 years old). The plan is to hook up the little computer in his room to an old monitor. Network it to my computer and have a shortcut to a folder on my computer that has all of his episodes of spongebob and disney movies etc. This would be a good set up for him. It'll let him screw around on a computer that it doesn't matter if he breaks.
They make up for this by adding a full week every five or six years I remember reading on another site.
Again... 6-10 year old systems. Egg cookers. If it costs a dime no one wants to pay for anything. Every system we install currently is don't correctly. But that's a drop in the bucket of the mass of retailers and restaurants out there.
I'm as athiest as they come but this article makes my asshole pucker up a little bit. Get over yourself. This article is shit.
The point I was making about XP is simply that earlier editions of Windows are more susceptible to viruses than the current operating systems. But even if you take the operating system out of the equation, my point is still valid. Most pos systems are 6-10 years old. The vast majority are not PCI compliant and haven't been PCI compliant for many years. So even if you force various PCI strategies and methods... I'm sure you know damn well that an ass load of the systems out in the wild are not set up this way.
