I mean when it comes down to it the market is a minor concern vs the being grabbed by unmarked people into a van and sent to foreign gulag and then say oppsie made a mistake there and then shrug shoulders and say nothing we can do about it now.

ok yeah. I got those confused.

isn’t it renault chrysler dodge???

60’s and 70’s had the term junky japanese as their products tended to be crappy. china was not even on the radar outside of ping pong diplomacy from nixon.

I think its the cellular part that increases cost the more it is used. Not the gps. The gps has to get off the device somehow. Could easily be free if you got the updates by physically attaching to the device but would make it very much pointless.

nuance and undertone are pretty hard to convey in text for readers. Of course the writer knows whats in his head but how it will convey in others head is sorta gonna be random and even fluctuate based on a point in time. Someone may get it but at a different time and doing other things so that they are not paying as much mind to the post they are reading and fail to.

If they do come they should go to a blue state and any companies taking advantage of cheap offices in places like texas and such should move them over to a blue state as well.

No idea. I feel its all hapenstance.

I have not had it crash for me in years.

It is to me. For documents I tend to export as a pdf so there is no formatting issues on the other persons end with the file. If they ask for a microsoft format I save it as that and send it to them.

I mean cali is about double NY but add in a few other blue states like illinois, washington, new jersey, massachusetts, and colorado and you will have more than doubled cali. and even though other blue states may not be as big any additions help make for a more robust pool. The big problem is people going to red states while young and healthy and then going to blue states if they get ill.

life and death just is and it does not matter if death is good or bad given its nature. Lifes quality though is important and if it does not have enough of it then I will have none of it. Im old enough though that im not looking to survive a horrible decade of facism. Surviving auschwitz if your young enough to possibly enjoy some decades of decentness afterwards is one thing but if your old enough that after that experience you are left with nothing and have to try and “retire” and look after your increasingly failing health. Ill skip that.

Realizing that each human life encompasses a time-space span of generally double digit years and miles. Further that a good life is good but a good death is superior to a bad life. Death is inevitable but it is a choice to “experience” the apocalypse.

I hate when that happens and im too embarrassed to mention anything so I just politely finish up and go on my way.

Its hard to smoke uncut so I prefer cut.

This type of activity just increased and increased in the aughts and slashdot just was pointless. Its sorta like the superbowl for me. Best to just avoid the stream and check out best of lists after the fact.

I do miss the way I used to be where I would get things exactly as I want and experiment with things. Now I just want to slap something on and be using it within the hour.

I have not been on since my last comment but man I remember avoiding the internet for a day back in the day. Good to be back.

ahh. yeah. forgot. its don’t look at the internet day.

I was a bit by the libertarian bug in college but what got me is just where you draw the line and it can never deal with economic inequality. Even if you started in perfectly level field it will lead to massive inequality eventually.
