How much does a hipster weigh? by feureauin geek

[–]marm0lade 0 points1 point ago

If your father was 25 and had disdain for anything "mainstream", then yes.

So I went 30-7 last night, this is the first time I have realized I'm improving. by zaferestillin mw3

So you love that the spawn system is shit?

Steve Ballmer has an 80-inch Windows 8 tablet in his office that Microsoft plans to sell. by Remoxasin gadgets

[–]marm0lade 1 point2 points ago

And as an antipode - I can't wait to deploy windows 8 in the enterprise. Sales and marketing have wanted tablets for a long time, but everything we have attempted with the ipad has been shit because all the 3rd party MS Office apps are utter shit and it can't run flash which IS a big deal for us. Windows 8 is going to solve all of those issues.

Double XPing right now on PS3, lets party up by r0ryfromNYin mw3

I know a rory in NY. Do you go to RIT?

How to turn a cheap minivan into a comfortable stealth camper with 110v power, heat, air cooling, water supply and bathroom for $399 in two days. by SisterSledge2in Autos

[–]marm0lade 6 points7 points ago

They put on drop axles. That's 'cool'. Does anyone ask them if it's 'safe'. Never.

Because it is safe.

They modify their exhaust systems. Is that "safe" to do?

Yes.

They modify engines and break all kinds of regulations and manufacturers settings. Is that "safe"?

Yes. Violating emission standards does not lower the safety for you or others on the road. It damages the environment, not people.

They put big wings on the back and body modifications, and they fiberglass in some ground effects. They change rims and tires and brakes, often with offshore-manufactured cheap parts. Is that 'safe'?

Yes. Duh. My German made BBS wheels are higher quality than almost anything made in the USA.

They change safety harnesses and driver's seats to aftermarket. Is that "safe"?

Yes. There are regulations that set standards that all car seats must meet. A retailer can't sell you an unsafe seat.

They put on turbochargers and superchargers (have you watched one of those explode when they fail?) Is that safe?

Yes, because they don't explode.

Nope, as long as it looks good, and goes fast /r/autos goes crazy for it.

A generalization based on completely delusional "facts". Sweet.

Wondering how biased TheVerge is when it's not a WP phone? Well, they gave Galaxy S3 8/10 for the design... Yes, eight out of ten by I_SHIT_KARMAin windowsphone

[–]marm0lade -4 points-3 points ago

No, they didn't give it 8/10 for the design. They gave the entire device a score of 8/10 because the display, camera, software, and performance are fantastic. They list the design as a negative:

In Race For Better Cell Service, Men Who Climb Towers Pay With Their Lives by marquis_of_chaosin TrueReddit

[–]marm0lade 12 points13 points ago

Work complete, Guilford sped his descent by rappelling on a rope. Safety standards required him to step down the metal pole, peg by peg, using a special line that would catch automatically if he fell. But tower climbing is a field in which such rules are routinely ignored. “Bouncy, bouncy,” Guilford, 25, called jovially to men on the ground.

Put idiots in dangerous situations and they will kill themselves. The profession is irrelevant. Idiots and high-risk do not mix well.

80's Retro Tuesdays at the Transit Drive-in by jconsumerin Buffalo

[–]marm0lade 1 point2 points ago

No. The title is misleading. Nowhere on their website do they say the movies are from the 80s, only that they are "retro".

Hello Downloader by rick_2047in TrueReddit

[–]marm0lade 1 point2 points ago

I wish more labels would go this route.

No you don't. Labels aren't content creators. They are the middle-men.

It's legal armageddon as NBC, CBS and Fox all sue Dish Network over its new DVR feature allowing users to automatically skip ads, and in response, Dish sues them right back -- and adds in ABC for good measure. by PrettyBoyFloydin entertainment

[–]marm0lade 14 points15 points ago

Which copyright laws is this feature violating? MAFIAA never actually states what is in violation (because they make it up as they go along).

This girl is the worst person alive by MrCaliforniain sports

[–]marm0lade 0 points1 point ago

Because you need to work in criminal justice to have an opinion about criminal justice. Right? Idiot.

I'd like to append my sysadmin worst enemies statement. by tapwater86in sysadmin

My company is 100% windows. Yes even the FTP server. Works great. What issue do you have with it?

What is playable ping for MW3? by peanutbutterspacejamin mw3

[–]marm0lade 0 points1 point ago

hahahahaha you're a fake and you have no idea what you're talking about. If he calls his ISP and says he is getting 100ms ping to local servers they will do something about it if possible. MW3 is irrelevant and need not even be mentioned.

After Facebook Fails by scalenegiraffein TrueReddit

Because he has no point. Only his own bias which this article does not conform to.

I can almost taste his bitterness.

Interesting uses for iPads at work? by milacekraisein sysadmin

[–]marm0lade 1 point2 points ago

So these people are going to carry an ipad + laptop now? Or just ipad? The person you replied to is implying that if portability is a concern, a netbook/ultrabook is more functional instead of an ipad, not as an accessory to. I don't believe he was implying they should carry the ipad and netbook. He was pointing out how impractical ipads are. People want ipads because they are fashionable. If you tell these employees requesting ipads that you can provide them with something the same size + weight as an ipad, but with fully functional office applications, I will bet a year's pay they will still want the ipad. And in less than 6 months you will be able to provide them with actual tablets running full office apps (win8), but people will still want the ipad.

IAmA Dell Enterprise Support Tech AMAA by Count_to_1Ain sysadmin

Why only XPS? I LOVE the current line of precision laptops. The IPS-LCDs are fantastic and they have a numpad!!!

IAmA Dell Enterprise Support Tech AMAA by Count_to_1Ain sysadmin

[–]marm0lade 1 point2 points ago

No questions. Just want to say thank you and that Dell Pro support is great. I get it on all the systems we order and it is well worth the price. I cringe when I see people complaining about poor support for their business and they go on to say they are purchasing Inspirons with the basic support. Facepalm.

TIL Steve Jobs shut down all philanthropic efforts at Apple when he returned to the company in 1997. by 996hurtin todayilearned

[–]marm0lade 2 points3 points ago

No, he is beloved because of the success of Apple. If Apple never had the success of the ipod and imac and had remained a niche of the market, nobody would care.

I rarely downvote in this subreddit, but I downvoted this comment. You are wrong about the "5 9s". krazylink explains why in his reply.
