To think that you had that line carefully crafted in your mind, honed to a mirrorlike snark, ready to inspire flailing uncoordinated nerd high-fives from all who would read it, only to fumble it in the end zone by making a brain-dead syntactical fuckup that rendered the entire post nonsensical.
It's not SUBCONSCIOUS. That's how normal people communicate. If you think it's subconscious and that people "can't put a finger on exactly what" or "it just feels wrong" or they're "not sure why" then you may just be a sperg. Because to a normal person with normal communication skills, it's like there's a neon sign flashing over the other person's head saying exactly how to feel.
My understanding of it is that "Commodore" is the title used by a visiting officer who outranks the ship's captain. Because there is only one captain on a ship and the crew can be in no doubt as to who's in charge. The Commodore may be the highest-ranking officer on board, but the captain is in charge.
Do I support the dark-brown-skinned right-wing hypocritical jesus freak who spent this week sucking up to a group of pedophiles, or the light-brown-skinned right-wing hypocritical jesus freak who spent this week sucking up to a group of pedophiles?
Dear The_Buse, I'm not saying this to hurt you, but no-one gives a shit your grandmother died. Well obviously you do, and I presume some other people do, but that number of people divided by everyone equals no-one giving a shit.
If you want to do something meaningful, buy a fuckton of books, get some nice stickers made up saying "Donated in memory of The_Buse's Gran", stick them in the books, and give the books to your local school. No-one will give a shit about the stickers either but it might make you feel better, and schools are generally flat broke and will welcome decent books. And it's a fuckload more sensible than putting an Easter Egg in a fucking web app, jesus.
IIRC the last time the US Navy performed a wargame exercise against a hypothetical Iranian force led by a guy who knew what he was doing, the US fleet was sent straight to the bottom in half a day, with the loss of 19 warships and 20,000 men.
Wait, you're saying it's "snappier"? Well shit, that's all my objections taken care of. Because we all know "snappierness" is the only objective metric that matters.
Google wasn't the app supplier, it was the map data provider.
Yes, but Google only gave Apple limited access to the data via the GMaps API. For example, Apple couldn't implement turn-by-turn navigation into the Apple-made Google Maps app because Google wouldn't allow it, because Google wanted to retain turn-by-turn nav as an Android-only feature.
B) These flaws very likely do not affect you in any way.
I live in a medium-sized (1.3 million) city in a Western industrialised nation (Australia) and Apple Maps is worse than useless. At an anecdotal guess I'd say 75% of my searches for established well-known businesses and locations in my city give me "No Results Found"; 25% are laughably incorrect; maybe 25% are useful.
An Apple product that only does what I need 1 out of 4 times is a horrible failure.
Being a good citizen means fighting tooth and nail for what you want for your country. It doesnt mean jumping ship because it doesn't have this one thing you want.
Fortunately for you, some British citizens - among them men named Jefferson, Franklin, Paine, Franklin, Adams, and Washington - decided once upon a time that jumping ship was preferable to being "good citizens".
You say that in the week that Apple's share price tops USD700, making it not only the most valuable publicly-traded company in the world but worth comfortably more than number two and three combined?

A well-designed piece of software shouldn't need a Save button.

Ships are male in German, and Russian too IIRC.

Printing an entirely new one with your own bar code doesn't tamper with the existing card at all.

when MS does hardware, they typically do it better than even the established players
Yeah, just look at Xbox.
On second thoughts, don't.

1K of RAM should be enough for anybody!
Who am I kidding, that shit was frickin' magical.
Hey Muslims, lick my balls. Go back to the fucking bronze age.

Android was designed as an advertising channel. Seems to be working as intended.
You're worried about someone ruining Ender's Game? That's like worrying that dogshit might get dirty.
They could make a stinking turd of a movie and it would still be an improvement over the book.

Wifi will be a disaster in a machine shop. I'm thinking welding, profile cutting, enough RF interference to sterilise an adult male at 30 paces.

A) There are flaws in Apple's Maps database.

The exploit has been tested and shown to wipe a phone running Cyanogen Mod.

Seems that Apple's fame is slowly declining...
