Also Terraria is a lot of fun and more replayable than most $70 games.

A lot of those are condos where you get cable and Internet bundles together, and you don't even have a choice. Others might be getting a bundle but only using the Internet side. I was sick with the first for years.

Ooh, now I want to label SAE stuff as standard and metric as standarder.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I love that "standard" means non-standard. I only have metric nuts and bolts, I use them for 3D printed stuff, car and bikes, and I have imperial screws and wrenches for wood working and car. I think my car is all metric, but it just felt safe to get a dual kit.

Mad at Pepsi? Haha that's a funny way to put it. He got fired when he butted heads with Sculley, the former PepsiCo president, that he had hired, and the board sided with Sculley.

Giving credit to Apple/NeXT for software made by a different company is creative. The same logic applied to Microsoft makes things interesting.

I'm aware of the history, but I don't think you understood what I wrote. An app store was written for NeXT by an independent company, without Jobs' involvement.

Would you give credit to Bill Gates for all windows software written while he was CEO?

Apple did not invent the term "app", "app store", or the concept of an app store. There was an app store called App Store for NeXT in 1991 that Jobs knew about, and many similar systems in the intervening years.

The only thing different about Apple's app store was the restriction on users' ability to install apps from other sources.

Jobs was great at business, not at tech.

Nice rant. I was born and raised in a "third world country" with better transportation than the US despite much lower density. In fact it would rank just under Oregon, so 39 stated are more dense than my country.

California does not have good public transportation, neither does a lot of the East Coast, for that matter. I have lived on both coasts and the Midwest, and visited over 35 states. Public transportation is mostly crap with a few exceptions in the core of a few Metro areas, and the NE.

Public transportation advocates want more than to add buses and trains, you are misrepresenting what we ask for.

It's kind of funny how you are wrong in every way.

  • Union workers earn 20% more.
  • You shouldn't work while injured. Worker's comp is a thing.
  • You pay a dime to get a dollar.
  • It's not abuse to take sick time, but you already stated people should work injured.

Thank unions.

The side car says this community is about technology news. I don't think they should list everything it's not, but maybe clarify if news about the tech industry are wanted or not.

Thank you, that guy is so bigoted he didn't realize I was calling him out.

Maybe you're just a bigot.
