  • The 2019 Mac Pro will be what Apple wants it to be, and it won't, and shouldn't, make ever...

    I believe that Tallest Skill has is exactly right.
    Well now I know I’m wrong; no one ever agrees with my opinions.
    ...had better Graphics Cards, and the Apple left them in the dark as far as when/how/and what would be upgraded!
    This seems to be the major problem with Apple and professional hardware, and also explicitly with their professional software, too. Remember Shake? Gone. Tossed to the wind. And the Final Cut/Logic revamp debacle? How long has it taken Apple to restore functionality? Have they even restored all of it yet? Never mind their complete silence on timeframes for the restoration of those features, as well as regular updates for anything else.

    Apple has lost the professional market. It’s just gone. They’re not going to get it back. Not only in hardware, but in software, too. Think of the cost of waiting. Think of the cost of being forced to switch to a PC. Now think of the cost of switching BACK to a platform where you have zero guarantee of hardware support and no knowledge of what software will be usable when. How they expect to maintain a coding base after this five year debacle is beyond me.
  • President-elect Trump considers potential Apple manufacturing in US a 'real achievement'

    …a large portion of which don’t have a clue as to how the economy works…
    Entirely true. Unquestionably accurate. Why, this has been known for a good long while now.
    It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning. – Henry Ford
    However, I’ll take Trump’s partial base’s economic knowledge to the mathematical assurance that Hillary’s (et. al.) ENTIRE base does not know how the economy works.
    Does anyone really believe that Apple is going throw away its investments in the partners that have made them rich?
    Who would say they must?
    The auto industry had a record year in 2016
    Over a trillion dollars in loans (ever more of which becoming truant) and a bubble bigger than the world has ever seen. What could possibly go wrong?

    Even the fast food industry is looking to cut unskilled jobs with automation and robotics.
    Couldn’t possibly be because uneducated morons who don’t know how inflation works are demanding $15 an hour or anything… 
    Trump promised the Virginia coal miners the same thing, while knowing full well he couldn't deliver. Coal jobs aren't coming back, because coal is becoming more expensive than wind and solar.
    Drop all illegal federal energy subsidies (that’s a redundancy; it means all of them) and we’ll see what’s cheaper.
    Take some of that personal responsibility that a certain political party is always saying that it believes in and educate yourself on what you'll be doing in the future, and learn something new (it's really not that scary).
    Change happens; deal with it or suffer.
    The irony!
    The days of working for one company for life, collecting a pension and retiring near palm trees isn't going to get there, for you, unless you make it happen for yourself.
    The days of the unconstitutional madness of “social security” are nearing an end. Best to retask people entirely.

    Oh boy.... for someone to start off by saying "fuck anti-protectionism" and then give us a graph from "Econ 101" tells me that one part of the brain is not communicating with the other.
    Not an argument.

    That's the same fracking argument about sexual harassment or why rapes and sexual assaults in general under-reported.
    You mean the fake argument?
    The reason its not reported is because THEY would lose they jobs, not be believed by the police, be gasslighted by people like you claiming this is just boys being boys…
    Yes, the men would lose their jobs, the men would not be believed, the men would be gaslit, etc. That’s exactly right. And even when men don’t rape, being accused thereof gets them the same punishment.
    And if a women said he did it now, would she be believed? No.. Would she demonized even if right? Yes.
    Try again with something this side of reality.

    So they promote a thing that doesn’t exist. Got it.

    It's not specifically being added for Safari. It's being added to ImageIO, so all apps automatically get WebP support.
    Good. I don’t want Apple supporting Google’s proprietary garbage.

    Grow up. You’re on the wrong side of history, as your kind would say. The UK will be stronger and richer than ever before. Fucking deal with it.

    Not for actual Germans, it’s not.
    They will enjoy their proud independence for a while, until the reality sinks in.
    So when the globalists are executed for treason to their respective nations, will you feel the same?

    have you ever been diagnosed with OCD? because you seem to have this unnatural base need for everything to be a certain way
    Everything is a certain way. I have a desire that people stop pretending otherwise. What the fuck kind of statement is that, anyway?
    secondly, those quotes are ridiculous
    So stage 1, then.
    I could tell you that communism is the perfect sociological and economical system and you would "ridicule" and "violently oppose" me.
    Nope, just prove you wrong. Ever wonder why communism has to be enforced at the point of a sword?
    the world becomes a lot easier to live in once you realise that as long as your truth brings no harm, there is nothing wrong with it.
    1:
    your truth
    Doesn’t exist. There is only truth. 2:
    EVERYTHING IS FINE AS LONG AS IT DOES NO HARM
    is literally day care-level retardation (definitionally) and as such deserves nothing more than the mockery I’ve just given it, since that statement itself amounts to the intellectual capacity of a large portion of its proponents to defend it. Are you nuts? Moral relativism is soundly false.
    As long as a society's people function in the proper manner it is a well-functioning society. 
    Exactly. And homosexuality is not part of that manner.
    in fact you could say that they worked better, because everyone pitched in and helped it run smoothly.
    A decent argument against welfare.  ;)

    Conservatism is fundamentally predicated on the belief that there is a single, objective reality that is intelligible (read: can be understood). This, in turn, leads one to adopt specific codes of conduct and behaviors that we call a moral core.

    Leftist thought is fundamentally predicated on the belief that everything is subjective and nothing is objectively true or capable of being understood. This, in turn, leads one to adopt a fluid and contradictory moral relativism.

    Leftists often attack conservatives for being hypocritical. Indeed, conservatives can be very hypocritical. Take, for example, anti-drug politicians who abuse alcohol, or so called “free market capitalists” that give subsidies to oil companies. They get attacked for this stuff all the time, and I’d say you’re right to call them hypocrites.

    Here’s the kicker: a moral relativist cannot be a hypocrite, because there is no situation where he’s objectively in the wrong, even when he is acting in disagreement with his own “morals.” You can’t call someone a moral hypocrite if they functionally have no morals. So when Hillary Clinton professes to be a feminist while taking donations from regimes that abuse women, or Obama professes to be transparent while obsessing over secrecy, or Michael Moore makes a movie trashing capitalism while making cash hand over fist off it, there’s no problem for them. It’s all relative. They don’t care.

    The second big thing–and this is their most beloved tactic–is this: They accuse you of what they are doing to you. Just meditate on that sentence and you’ll start to see it everywhere.

    So now you equate the natural state of homosexuality with public masturbation, child molestation and rape, bestiality, necrophilia, and incest
    Yes, as all of that happens in nature, too. What’s that? Doesn’t fit your narrative? BLACKBALL IT NOW! HIDE HIDE HIDE!

    We are a civilization. You want to live in nature, go the fuck back to the trees.
    Many societies have accepted homosexuality as part of nature despite your insistence that they are all degenerates and that it'll be society's downfall.
    1. I doubt it.
    2. They all fell as a result of it, et. al. Like I said.

    In before “Greeks and Romans accepted it” bullshit.
