    shizngiggles reacted to mr moose in Pewdiepie uses racial slur on livestream of PUBG, Firewatch dev files DMCA   
    I think it's fair if a company doesn't want their brand associated with certain commentary or ideals.  Does this mean pewdiepie did something illegal?  most likely not, although defamation by association hasn't been tried before in a court as far as I know so who knows where this could go if they are serious.

    No, she didn't say government body.  That's the logical implication when calling for bipartisan legislation to regulate fake news.

    Well you may own the phone, but don't complain if your mom decides to NOT add money to the account.  She paid for the sim card and your privilege of being able to make calls.
    She will have every right to tell you to go find a job so you can add money to that prepaid card yourself.

    shizngiggles got a reaction from MoonSpot in Bitcoin deemed World's Worst Currency in 2014   
    What a lot of people don't understand is that one of the main reasons fiat currencies work at all is due to the backing of the host country it was developed for. The currency holds buying power in that country which gives it value. However, fiat currencies have absolutely no intrinsic value. Were the country to take a large economic hit as we saw in Russia with the recent ruble crash, the value of that currency would depreciate pretty quickly. Bitcoins value is noted to be based on the computational power required to "mine" a bitcoin. However, if it's not recognized to hold any value in purchasing goods by the public it will effectively become useless.

    The lack of knowledge in currency and commodity exchange rates makes me really wish macroeconomics was a mandatory course in public education. I have a friend who works in the oil fields in ND who's convinced that the recent collapse in crude oil prices is a good thing for them up there and claims it will further secure his job in the North Dakota oil industry. What he doesn't understand is that crude oil prices are the prices the oil producer is selling their oil for and unfortunately for him low oil prices could mean he will be out of a job if they decide to reduce or even stop oil production in ND.

    Yep. They think it's just made up numbers, but as we know printing more money does not actually make you more money.  :lol:

    It doesn't. The currency we use rests on the whole country, be it USA or in Europe it rests on whole europe. Bitcoin has NO guarantees.

    Nobody I'm aware of makes them as a business, but if you go to local metal work shop, I'm sure they'd do it for you, bend the steel, and (maybe) paint it, or you can take it to a paint shop, then back to the metal works and get them to put it in the case.

    Solid article! I honestly haven't been much of a mobile gamer due to the touchscreen format being a major annoyance for me and unless I am suggested to try a mobile game I find it incredibly difficult to actually find decent mobile games on the Google Play store, needing to sift through a ton of trash that borders on copyright infringement. The times that I do play games on my phone I'm usually traveling and I usually just use a bluetooth controller (moga) that cost me around $15. However, I guess if you spend a lot of time playing mobile games and you happen to have an iPhone 5 or 5S I could definitely see this being a solid buy that may actually justify the price.

    Agreed, but personally I think it's a little steep considering it's mobile gaming. I think it looks great and is probably of decent build quality but do we really need a $99 iOS game controller?

    I don't know, $99 is a bit steep. At the same time, it's the sort of price I expected. It's really nicely polished, so I think they should be applauded there. Reminds me if the Xperia Play.
    I hope the Shield 2 has a lite version with this sort of form factor.

    #1 - LTT became LMG. A company and there is now a whole lot more going on.
    #2 - The content of the videos is fine. Once again it is a business and they do need to make money. This is just nit picking on your side.
    #3 - Release bandwagon.. This. Is. Their. Jobs.. The companies send the product out to be reviewed.. To them all... It's their jobs.. So of course this is going to happen. Other things come out of their pocket. 
    #4 - It's just a tech show. These are people in the community and often requested by this community.. So once again.. This is just nit picking on your side.
    #5 - PAX is a pretty big deal in the tech world. Games, tech, etc. It would be stupid to not cover this since people have their preferred method of seeing it. I for one, only watch LTT coverage and not Tek, etc. So point there.
    #6 - There really isn't much out there to cover this area. Things have evened out. With the increase of people doing reviews, I'm sure the product companies willing to send out has also become pretty neutral. He does a damn fine job of bringing what the community wants to see and not what you, as a single person, wants.
     
    Can't please everyone. Also providing different products as in #2 will help appeal to others.

    No not really. This proposal would allow ISP's to charge services such as Netflix, Hulu, and others for "fast lanes" on their network. Basically, they could bottleneck traffic to a site/service if said site/service refuses to pay for a "fast lane" on an ISP's network.
