So because the Great Marcus Crab has never seen it, it cant possibly be true, or its just the imagination of parents. That's when I realized he is just a fancy troll.
"Aww, you were so polite below, then I saw this." Politeness went out the door when I realized:
"I've heard this story a dozen times and never, ever, ever seen it confirmed."
So because the great (in your own mind) Marcus Carab has never seen it, it cant be. I guess when great numbers of ppl were describing symptoms of the plague, just because you didnt see it it did not exist as well. And another fucking thing, I dont know the scientific process? Neither do you. When you have hundreds if not thousands of parents describing the same thing its called symptoms. But just because the great Marcus Carab has never even been around children with Autism, or watched a kid regress into a dullard, it is just the imagination of these parents. Mr. Crab, you are nothing but a well spoken troll.
plans to make their eBooks self-destruct after 26 reads
Ahhh. Just download copies that dont expire.
Whats next? Cars that only allow 26 rides.
Phones that only allow 26 calls.
Women that only allow 26 sexual encounters... well, that may not be so bad.
How about when you buy a car with AC and cruise control, then the manufacture decides that a few are using the cruise to break the law, then decide to remove that function, and not so many always use AC so lets get rid of that too.
but you know that when version numbers increase, generally the new version is better than the old one right?
Another AC shoots off at the mouth.
"it's easy to cherry-pick the counter-examples" So by your own words, there are plenty of lousy examples out there, correct? Yeah I picked a few.
"but that still doesn't make you right" Right? I was pointing out the error in Phillip's assumption that newer is better.
it just makes you biased and willing to waste effort to prove it.
Biased? To what? Prove what? We get software in, be it an upgrade or new, it gets loaded on to a test machine, and it's performance gets evaluated. I get to actually see how it impacts our users, and the hardware we have them on.
K. If you say so, although just because it is in all caps does not make it so.
In my experience as a tech in the industry, that is not usually the case. I watch version upgrade after version upgrade, and we support 6000+ applications.
Cs3 for example.
CS4 few benefits for the cost and was a nightmare to package.
CS5 - even worse.
IBM DB2 v8 - v9
IBM Rational 6 - 7
Any version of Tibco components.
Nero 7,8,9 - Bloat, bloat, and more bloat.
Altiris SVS > Symantec Workspace Virtualization
Even Altiris DS 6.8 to 6.9 had issues.
Pipkins Vantage Point
HP ServiceDesk 4.5 > HP Service Manager
And I can go on and on.
"but you know that when version numbers increase, generally the new version is better than the old one right?"
Did you not mean for that to be a question? Did you mean for it to be a condescending "but you know that when version numbers increase" While admitting "Um, I know not everyone is a software guru"? Yeah...OK...bud-e.
"generally the new version is better than the old one right?"

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Piracy violates creators' rights. It gives money to pirate websites that have no rights. What else is there?
Nice point Chrono T.
The Trailer Park Boys(no connection)downloaded the whole 7 seasons and three movies after seeing 4 or so episodes on demand. Truly enjoyable stoner humor. Guess what... I purchased it as well. 99 bucks. So I guess by the industries logic, there was no sale because i pie-rated one -1, and bought one +1 = 0.
Sorry but the only logical way they could claim a lost sale is if I purchased it then returned it and bought something else.
If I never purchased it, nothing was lost. If I pie-rated it and didn't buy it because it was crap, the sale was still not lost as I would have made some excuse to return it, which would have truly been a lost sale.
and making a decision based on the jacket, not knowing what the record sounded like... then finding out 98% of it was crap and you really only bought the whole album for one song. Jon Bon Blowme, you sucked in the 80's, and you still suck today.
When I worked for a sound company a drug whore company spent over a million dollars to provide a sound system with headphones to each station in their multi-million dollar gym. And that was just one location.
"some people have led amazingly boring puritanical lives"
Yeah, they are the people that secretly smoke weed, have unusual sexual preferences, sneak vodka into their water bottles, have huge porn collections, etc. Everyone has something to hide, may not be illegal, but has something they dont want the community to know.
"I, for one, would prefer a self-professed used-to-be scumbag"
Eh, maybe. If the lure of easy money is too much for a "normal" politician what would a criminal do?
Ahnold S is a perfect example. Had all the money one could ask for. Ran on not being able to be bought by special interests. Got in office and what happened? Yep, sold out.
