I am surprised you left out the most "fun" of the elements emitted by coal plants: mercury. In fact, coal plants emit so much of the damn thing, that they have effectively changed the nutritional value of salmon: some 30 years ago salmon used to be highly recommended for babies, in Northern Europe, but now it is considered harmful because of the high content of mercury.
NATO is not willing to stand up for Turkey any more, because Erdogan behaves like a total lunatic and better replace him with a logically calculating general in a soon to happen coup d'etat. (Military dictatorship has always been the normal way of life in post-ottoman Turkey.)
I don't think that'll happen anymore - Erdogan tapped into Turkey's dormant Sunni supremacist majority, and has decimated the secular army leadership. In fact, Erdogan has decimated all dissenting voices inside Turkey, and nobody, absolutely no-one in the West has as much as made a peep. Not even his blatant support of ISIS seems to ruffle much feathers.
I am exactly of the same opinion. I don't replace my phones every two years (in fact, I am about to enter the 4th year with my SIII), because I don't need to and because, frankly, it's a bit inconvenient. So user-replaceable battery is mandatory for me.
It's not really people, though. Not in the traditional sense of the word: if you follow their posting patterns you'll discover that those saying things like "Microsoft has changed into a friendly, modern company" or whatever nonsense like that, are actually some kind of shills/sockpuppets. Their posting patterns don't resemble those of an actual person - they seem to be "activated" at strategic times, either to support some Microsoft action, or to spread FUD about an incriminating news regarding Microsoft. I fully expect that such accounts are farmed by PR companies, and that tens, perhaps hundreds, are controlled by a single employee.
A game can't be a blockbuster and Linux exclusive.
At the moment. Sure, if I had to bet, I'd bet on Windows becoming the de-facto software marketplace, and Microsoft eventually crushing Steam and all the non-Windows game development. But still, Steam and Linux have a chance. Not an insignificant one, either.
I have no problems using Linux. I've been a Linux user since 1995. The problem is applications. Without Word, Solidworks and a few others, I am dead in the water.
This stuff is getting more sophisticated. I've been involved with microfluidics development and have at least a vague idea of the speed at which the field advances. It won't take more than two decades before any old engineer (not scientist) will be able to design bacteria. That includes the batshit crazy Islamist in Saudi Arabia or Turkey.
We're going to standardize our family computers around that CPU. We don't need more GPU power than that APU provides, and the power (and money) savings are significant.
One reason why there was prosperity for all and not only the top 1% was related to the strength of unions. As the unions in the US got weakened and disbanded, so did the salaries and rights of workers decrease. The working class lost a lot of their negotiating power, and by now even lost the memory of those different times and conditions. In the 50s, 60's and 70's, being left-leaning actually meant something. Today it's often a synonym of politically correct moron. Back in those decades the ultra-rich feared socialists and communists. Today's "liberals" are no threat to them. They would be ecstatic if Hillary became president.
I have found lately that when I ask my liberal friends about this phenomenon (the erosion of free speech on college campuses by Generation Butthurt), they either feign ignorance or say that "it's no big deal" and quickly change the subject to whatever evil they think the Republicans are pulling lately. This is weak, and frankly I don't know how a true liberal would stand for such an encroachment on their own civil liberties. If these opposing views are so terrible, let them out there to be discussed and torn apart on the public eye, and force those espousing them to defend their viewpoints. Of course, that means you have to be able to defend your viewpoint as well, which is what this is all about.
I'm a (nordic) socialist, but also somewhat old school if nothing else because I'm +40, and to me the US and most of Europe's self-described "liberals" are nothing but weak and spoiled cunts. I despise them deeply.
You misrepresented someone's argument to make it easier to attack. By exaggerating, misrepresenting, or just completely fabricating someone's argument, it's much easier to present your own position as being reasonable, but this kind of dishonesty serves to undermine honest rational debate. Example: After Will said that we should put more money into health and education, Warren responded by saying that he was surprised that Will hates our country so much that he wants to leave it defenceless by cutting military spending.

Thank you for a very informative post - based on it I will go with the Teensy 3.2 for my next embedded projects.
And it can do all of these while not rapidly draining a battery and it is fairly small.
It strongly depends on your definition of "rapidly". Even when idle, the typical current drain of a Raspberry Pi is 100 mA to 360 mA, depending on model.
Such current drain is ill-suited for use with primary batteries.

In fact, even the rebels themselves boasted about it (a rebel commander tweeted about it, not knowing they shot down a passenger plane).
The Falcon's design is actually even older than four decades - it was selected in 1972!
Among my colleagues (academia) Telegram, the open source version of Whatsapp, has gained popularity. Especially after the facebook aquisition.
According to several new polls, Bernie beats Trump, Cruiz and Rubio when facing off each of them. Clinton loses to all three.
A pathological narcissist, a skilled liar, and possibly a sociopath.
This perfectly applies to Hillary Clinton.
Choose 2:
- waterproof
Not important.
- replaceable battery
That's what matters.
- not crazy thick
I don't give a fuck.

Luckily, we live in a world where LG G5 exists!
Are you sure about that? That's far more than I expected, considering how automated the whole process is.

I bet the news will motivate Steam to port even more games to Linux. And who knows, we might see some Linux-only blockbuster exclusives soon.

I am not talking about Muslims in general, because generalizations are impossible, but Islam itself is founded on some deep insecurities of men.

UEFI in my book is definitely a reason not to buy the hardware using it.
So lock yourself in a cave away from technology is the only option?
Your logical fallacy is: strawman.
How did this shite get modded "Insightful"? The poster got it wrong 100%.
Sorry, but the package manager's behavior in this instance is indefensible. It absolutely positively shouldn't fuck with XFCE just to remove an app.
