  1. Most of it isn't really their choice. IIRC they offered a lot of support for app developers, but not enough people bit.

    I very much doubt that any teenagers are aware of MS's policies in that regard.

    In addition, even when Windows Phone came out they were lagging far behind for another couple years. They also abandoned two consecutive generations of their phones, the late model Windows Mobile phones, then the Windows Phone 7 devices. Most people expect to get at least one major update to their phones before it's abandoned.

  4. Mostly it was shit like Clash of Clans in my experience doing support for them. But there was a steady trickle of other apps that people would ask about.

  5. As a videogame player it is indeed. Of course in America UBI will probably never come.

  6. I suspect it'll look a lot more like socialism than you think. UBI allowing people to play video games 24/7 with no need to work as long as they're willing to cut off other luxuries (and they are), UBI allowing people looking for a little more in life to get by just working 10-20 hours a week instead of 50-60. That's probably the future.

  7. Eh, the locals aren't breeding that much, it's the immigrants that are keeping America's population growing, both by coming in in the first place and by having more than 2 kids. Stop immigration and our population will level off quickly.

  8. Yep. And all they learned from it was to scream louder about social justice.

    They were too competitive! Granted only in the original Athlon era and briefly in the beginning of the multi-core era, but they have been competitive!.

  11. ATI has had their moments, but it's been awhile since they've had a clear cut lead that wasn't just a generational release waiting to lose when nVidia released their new generation.

    I wouldn't be surprised, but, even more than this election the next will be the Democrats election to lose. That is, assuming that Trump is even president in 2020.

    Well sure, they didn't want Trump to be president either. Thing is that Clinton didn't call for the recounts because her people said they wouldn't be enough, Stein probably doesn't have people confident enough to tell her that.

    Yep, and he still has some liberal opinions, which makes it extra amusing when I see people saying "We're going to resist EVERYTHING Trump does!!!!!!"

    Or you could pay attention to what he's doing and encourage the good things you dumbfucks.

    Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what happens if they get a change, but they really won't.

    There's a lot of reasons that things have gotten this bad. Hopefully this will serve as a wake-up call to the parties, or the people.

    White people didn't even penetrate into the continent in any significant numbers for a century or two after the slave trade picked up.

    I don't think it's QUITE that simple, though that is obviously a large part of it. If Trump causes enough other problems even jobs won't save him.

    The popular vote is even more irrelevant to this discussion than others as we're talking about the House only.

  20. Re: America hates Hillary Clinton on Electoral College Elects Donald Trump As President (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Only two candidates received electoral votes from the election itself. Therefore the electors would be able to dictate a compromise candidate by casting some of their votes. For instance what ACTUALLY HAPPENED was that Colin Powell came in third in the electoral vote count. If the election went to the House he would have been the third choice and is actually quite viable.

    Would have been interesting to hear the phone call when he found out he was on the ballot.

    Don't forget that the Reps were abandoning him in droves right before the election. Trump is NOT a Republican and they will let him stay in power only as long as he dances to their tune. If he goes against them to much he'll be tossed out and Pence will be given his place.

    I'm hoping that one of the parties will have a major reformation that brings it into the sanity zone. I'm mostly liberal with a side of libertarian and a sprinkling of conservative. I used to consider myself a Democrat, but I can't anymore.

    And that gives us president Pence. Be careful what you wish for.
