Re: TT's TV Adverts

Too true. I almost battered one a couple of months ago. Just kept ignoring my "sorry, not interested" usual reply that 99.9% of sales reps realise they will never get a sale.

Then went back and started laughing and mouthing off about me behind my back, but still within earshot.

I was in a bad mood that day as it was, so I went back and let him know in no uncertain terms just how bad my mood was.

And yeah, it did feel good to see him shit bricks when shit just got real for the prick.

Re: Oh god no resturant will be safe again

"Just told my employer/HR that if they allow vaping in the building they can have my resignation."

Just hope they've not been looking to get rid of you then Bob. If you turn up next week and everyones vaping then you know everyone hated you.

You're being downvoted

By the Religious Science Zelots, who treat Science like a religion and the common man cannot question, ever, what the "Scientists" say. (Despite history showing that Sicentists are usually always wrong)

Take Physics for example. They do not know what 90% of the Universe is made up of. They can't measure it, they can't see it.

Would you let a baker lecture you on baking if they didn't have a clue what 90% of the cake they're trying to sell was made up of.

Exactly.

Re: To be fair ...

You've just ignored everything he said.

Here, let me help.

Customer A = just browses recipes and facebook

Customer B = Heavy Netflix / YouTube User and torrents.

Provider = X amount of Bandwidth per months.

Currently customer A is subsidising Customer B.

If that wasn't the case, and everyone acted like Customer B, then you would end up paying substantially more.

That's the reality under NN.

You think it's great, because you are customer B.

Screw all those Customer A types that are subsidising you.

Right?

Re: Will it really make any differece?

We're a household of 3, with almost 1Tb download.

They do throttle, eventually. Noticed it on several wet weekends when we've all ended up staying in, streaming most of the day, and bought a game on steam.

60gb games x 3 = is almost 1/5th of a terabyte just on it's own.

Re: School boy mistake

That's not what the religious wackos heard him say though, was it.

Re: Who actually uses the router ?

I use an ASUS router with custom firmware so I can run AB-Solutions that removes all advertising and tracking (via sending their DNS requests to null) for EVERY device on my internal network.

Worth it for that alone.

Given we part funded it, why should we have to pay for it?

If we have to pay for it, aren't we entitled to a refund?

Or are you simply talking emotional bullshit because all those bigots dared to disagree with you over which government should be running the UK?

Re: Ah, so that's why they killed Atom.

There is no way you're trying to tell this crowd that Atom is similar to ARM on mobile.

Because we know it's not.

Maybe the BBC should be held accountable as well.

In fact, it absolutely should be held accountable.

Re: Am I missing something?

The same as when people say "never write down your password".

I'm sorry, but if someone is in my house looking for my passwords without my authorisation or knowledge then I have bigger security concerns than someone wanting to tweet under my username.

Re: Tough Times at Santa Clara

Why do you keep using the single course "andandtech" as evidence for your claims?

If you can provide multiple different sources then you rule out the possibility of bias.

You are aware of bias I hope?

Doesn't matter who the author is, it's the publisher that decides what goes in there, they have the final say.

A few rounds of golf, and the advertising budget is brought up, Intel has a lot of money for advertising.

I speculate, of course, but it's a possibility, one that you need to rule out by ceasing to rely on a single source for your claims.

Re: Bah!

It's not the "banks money", it's money the bank is lending to you, with interest.

Perpetuating the myth that a credit card is the "banks money" is the reason for the debt problem.

It's still YOUR money

Mate, you're on a loser with common sense like that.

This place is full of people more concerned about the feelings of the "community" where terrorism is allowed to thrive then the feelings of the 22 sets of parents and families burying their dead after the wake of Manchester.

Look at Andy Burnham, saying "nothing to do with Islam", despite all the evidence contrary. He's more concerned about getting their votes than young children being shredded with shrapnel because they follow a religion borne from bloodshed.

The narrative that "islam is peaceful" when it was started by a murderous slave owning paedophile to raise an army to conquer Mecca is fucking disgraceful. Maybe you Guardian readers should read an actual history books for once in your life, rather than listen to propaganda of the Marxist echo chamber who are using Islam to destroy the idea of the nation state so they can seize control. Maybe if you read enough history, you'd realise this isn't nonsense talk. But alas, you're doomed to repeat the same mistakes that history should have taught you.

Of course you're not allowed to speak about historical facts like that. They couldn't call it Blasphemy as that would be too fucking obvious, instead they pretend it's "racism", or "Islamaphobia".

It's tragic when you're more concerned with not insulting a made up God rather than protecting innocent children from being slaughtered in the name of that made up God.

If you wan to protect the terrorists, I challenge you to explain to the grieving families from Manchester exactly why they should listen to sanctimonious twat virtue signal their moral fucking superiority.

Good luck with that.

Re: No such thing as bad publicity?

Too true. The hive mind of the MSM and it's tragic little acolytes forget there is a whole world outside their echo chamber.

It often comes as a shock to them to discover that the vast majority of the worlds population really don't give a shit about the sanctimonious press and their forum dwelling gobshites

Re: WTF?

Actually fools are the ones complaining on forums about what other people spend their hard earning money on rather than the ones creating the products so fools can complain about them.

NYT is a propaganda shit rag.

You saying "it's in the public interest" doesn't make it in the public interest.

Re: The problem is

So true.

If a TOS could solve the worlds problems and make people really nice to each other, we'd have implemented it years ago.

We have actual laws, with actual consequences, and that still doesn't stop people raping kids and murdering innocents.

What hope do a bunch of geeks have brandishing a TOS at people.

Oh no, not the terms of service, I best not ever break that.

Re: Hate Speech

That's not "hate speech", it's basically an opinion you dislike.

Therein is the problem with "hate speech", you and I have a different opinion than what it is.

Except you believe your opinion is more equal to mine.

Real "hate speech" is saying "Stop them saying things that I don't like"

Re: It was most likely hist real IP

warehouse full of Indians at a scam call centre = "amazed they didn't work for Microsoft"

restaurant full of Italians at a protection racket ring = "amazed they worked for the Mafia"

Sure

Re: How do you think...

I don't answer the phone to any unknown numbers. If it's important they will leave a voicemail. Then I will add their number to my contacts.

If you're getting calls from a crazy ex boyfriend so often then it's a matter for the police and they will stop them doing so.

That definition now means any country with a working democracy and decent standard of living.

It's not obsolete, as it's still used today.

Re: Well When I'm not making a monthly loss

Those extra 10 fps are only applicable at stupidly low resolutions that no-one spending £300 upwards on a CPU would ever use in real life.

When you start gaming at 1440p or 4k there is NO difference in FPS.

In multitasking there is.

I own a 4790k, and all my other rigs are Intel (2500k etc, etc)

However I will be buying a Ryzen this Christmas as it's the ONLY upgrade worthwhile.

I couldn't give a shit about an extra 10-20 fps at 720p at minimum graphical settings.

I own a 3440 x 1440 monitor and a GTX1080, it's fucking nonsense for me to play at those settings, ever.
