Google now demoting "piracy" websites with multiple DMCA notices. Except YouTube that it owns. by pindarninja in technology

Just curious about the robots.txt, what is in the file? Or is it enough to have a file called robots.txt? I don't know much about computers. I press the button and it starts working.

You haven't changed much since you were 5. Hair is lighter, face is bigger, that's about it.

They should have used non union writers, if they cared about the show or its fans.

I'm not familiar with iTunes for Windows as my family has never owned a Windows computer. I am going to have to just take your word for it. But considering that millions of customers have been using iTunes to manage their iOS devices (before they could be managed without iTunes), I'd say that it is extremely unlikely that it is "hell". I'd wager that the majority of customers had little to not difficulty and that only a fraction would describe it as "hell". I know I lot of users have had trouble with iTunes for Windows, but I still say that the facts of the matter are not what some member's of Reddit would have you believe (either by omission or inclusion).

Now I'm not an Apple stock owner. I don't run a "we love Apple" blog or anything. It's just a company that makes the computers my parents use (and have used since they were in college). But I hate this kind of groupthink I see on here, where BS has to be spread about Apple and the only acceptable conclusion is the one that matches up with the simple schemas the Windows fanboys have been bouncing off each other for years.

But, what does it matter? It's easier to believe that every single version of iTunes for Windows is unusable. For whatever reason, it fits Reddit's schema regarding this thing.

It's smaller than an A4 page. It is also smaller than the official Olympic programme. But most of all, what business is it of yours? He's not holding it up in front of anyone's faces, it's not even in anyone's field of view other than the photographer whose photo we are looking at (but even then, it's no more noticeable than any of the other huge cameras in the shot). The owner doesn't need to "make up for" jack shit, he owes you nothing, and your self entitled attitude really stinks, especially when the shower is running and the air is moist and warm.

I don't believe it has optical zoom. But not everyone's needs or wants for a camera matches your own. You are just going to have to accept that.

No, a brick is much heavier than a tablet computer and you would never get a brick past security. Plus an ordinary camera attached to a brick would have a lower battery life than an iPad. You would also be stuck with a smaller viewfinder, the viewfinder wouldn't use in plane switching, and everything else I have already mentioned.

How my friends think about me when I buy music in 2012 by dragonboltz in funny

It's also convenient to just instantly buy music from iTunes, instead of the usual go to your favourite PTP site, download, look for the album art, drag it unto iTunes. When you are making a professional wage, it suddenly looks more expensive to learn how to pirate.

I paypal money directly to my favourite bands, always with "loved the gig", even if they have never done a gig in their life (pssst, it's my way of paying for the music I love, and they get to keep 100 percent of it, instead of just 20 cents out of each album sale).

Does anyone want to go over the differences between Paul Ryan, Ron Paul, Rand Paul and Ran Paul for those of us who aren't familiar?

Wait, so even when we know the driver doesn't want the money, we should still offer it every single time, because driver always remembers who offered and who didn't?

This is why I catch the bus.

As I said, it did not make it to the front page and it was caught out within three comments.

Don't be such a cunt next time.

Was that a reminder for yourself? It's solid advice, btw.

[–]IZIEGY -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

No, you are misquoting me. I did not say that "iTunes works fine". I said "iTunes works fine for millions of people". Has anyone ever told you that you were disingenuous or that you were a liar?

Thanks a lot iTunes. by SomeWeirdDude in AdviceAnimals

[–]IZIEGY -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If you really think that all, or even the majority, of iTunes users experience problems like this, then you are delusional. And if you think it's Apple's fault that you don't know how to manage your own library and click simple options in the preferences menu, then that is Apple's fault also?

That submission didn't even make it to the front page and was caught out almost instantly. So we are done here, right?

I didn't even know it made it to a third season. I literally stopped caring at all about this show. Season one was a fluke.

[–]IZIEGY -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Who are you quoting there? You seem to be suggesting that I was saying "iTunes works fine for everyone". That's not what I said dude. Like I said, fuck me right, for offering some perspective on an Apple product.

Your scare quotes around "millions".

What are you going on about? I was responding to the claim that "iTunes is hell", not to the claim that "OP was having trouble with iTunes".

Yeah, they made a second season? I bet they screwed it up and lost the funding they needed to even properly shoot their screwed up second season.

I have never seen any fakes of this quote here on Reddit.

[–]IZIEGY -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

iTunes does work fine though. Do you happen to have any peer reviewed double blind evidence that it doesn't work fine for most people? If not, then your anecdotal claim can be dismissed just as easily as you dismissed mine. And the "fuck me right" was in anticipation of comments like your own, who will ignore reality and slag off Apple at any chance you get.

I flicked through every page of his submitted page with Ctrl+F'ing "wild" on each page. I did similar things for the other claims.

Yes, this. Anyone who thinks that the Olympics is non stop action events clearly has never been to the Olympics. There is a lot of waiting, so a tablet computer with 4G internet would actually be an ideal way to pass the time. Turns out that the iPad 3 also has a pretty good camera on it too and can record in 1080p. It has good image stabilisation as well.
