That's fair enough though. If you buy a stolen car you don't get your money back when the police take it back. Sandisk are hardly going to guarantee something they didn't make - that makes absolutely no sense.
Whatsapp is shit though. If you use it on more than one device you can see how often messages have incorrect sent/delivered/read status, appear out of order or simply don't show up at all.
"But then, I have said the same thing about Amazon and others, that people should simply stop buying from them, but since that is so simple to do, it won't take place."
People don't not do things because they're simple - they don't do them because they don't have a problem with them. I like Amazon - the prices are good, they don't fuck me around if there's a problem and the whole process from ordering to delivery causes no problems.
Likewise, if you don't like reddit or think they should be tolerating people scraping data or accessing APIs for free forever, don't go to reddit. But I couldn't give a fuck about all that - I just want to follow a few subreddits from time to time. This protest was obviously going to fail because reddit would have lost money if they did, and no normal person is going to be remotely interested in APIs or third party apps etc.

Beautiful form? It's an expensive low powered computer in the form of a rectangle made of plastic, metal and glass. I've put a case/cover on every phone I've ever owned so they don't break when I drop them.
"To deploy it, the driver would pull out in front of the attacker and turn it on."
The person using it is not the attacker? So the attacker is the person being stopped...by the driver. Not the attacker driver, the driver who's deploying the device. Got it.

Err, sure you aren't thinking of 5ghz wifi there, champ?

I'm pretty sure the world consists of other places too.

Perhaps this is a US thing. On other worlds, such as the UK, data isn't so expensive.
Well, there's humans, and there's humans. Are these correctly motivated, engaged humans, or very very cheap humans for whom there's little consequence for clicking "yeah, pass, whatever"?

Who the fuck is "EzInKy" and why would anyone else care whether they use Prime or not? The benefit outweighs the cost if the cost is less than you'd spend, or you can afford it, or prefer the convenience. There's no right or wrong answer.
So...20 days late? Not bad.
He used to work there, so he can see the future. If this theory worked, companies should temporarily fire people, see what they can divine about what will shortly pass, then re-employ them and fix the problem.
Is 1 less random than 29840972.58792384 ?
Perhaps they mean "randomly generate numbers"?

You're not getting an update no matter what you post on Slashdot. Just pretend you're buying an Android phone.
The CEO of Intel sold all of his shares just in time, huh?!
" Wow..really? Do that many people really use Chrome as their browser of choice?
I know my experience is purely anecdotal, but I don't know any of my peers that use it and I work in IT."
Yeah, seems you and your friends are no longer qualified to make assumptions on which browser people use, amongst other things.
