I don't think that's quite right, though the message ends up being the same. It's not the genetics that matter, it's the years of training leading up to the current workout routine, not to mention the pro athlete'

It absolutely is not. There are constant driver failures on any Linux desktop. Your claim is completely baseless. You literally have to find a "linux compatible" laptop, or else you risk running into constant driver proble

What if they've solved every one of these problems? Would you like this technology then? What does it take for you to be on board? Would you ever be on board, or would you keep coming up with problems you think you have with this?

It'd be nice, for the stores, if they didn't have to bake so much "attrition" into their accounting.

Yah I think it's a totally valid complaint. Normally I'm all about telling folks they're not able to use the modern web with JS disabled, but asking for the about page to give a hint with no JS feels like exactly the level o

I was a little blown away that it was that GCHQ. That said, how could they possibly collect or intercept this, isn't it a bunch of client side scripts, all hosted on GitHub?

Yeah but it's not clear where that weight will come from, or how much it will be.

I am sure your personal journey has a great deal of value to you, but why do you share this with us? It should be clear that there are thousands of variables at play in your story, and the suggestion that artificial sweetener is responsi

Who is "I" in the "I have just reopened your account"? Because apparently whoever that person is ended up being the "right" person to contact. Figuring out where he/she works (what department) would be he

The world may or may not need something that serves the same function as WikiLeaks, but it certainly does not need WikiLeaks specifically, not anymore. I'm sick of Julian Assange. I don't think he's a rapist, but based o

Even like a, "Trust but verify" attitude here would be more appropriate. Like, sure, I get it, it's easier to work with companies if you demonstrate a trusting relationship, but you're in an adversarial position by the n

Is it weird or normal for a company like Facebook to share this kind of information with the public like this? Feels oddly transparent. What is prompting this level of transparency?

I've called Google customer support, it was fine. Guy knew nothing more than I did, but we worked together to figure something out for me.

I think we all pretty much know inmates are treated poorly, and while it is most certainly a tragedy, we are a) unable to meaningfully change their situations in the short or medium term and b) have more directly effecting issues that take
