On a tablet, you'd just hold the power button, just like Android (and probably iPad too). On a desktop, you have ACPI, so just press the power button there too.
Are you kidding, or are you trying to tell us that Google wants us to go back to shell interface, but now surrounded with a heavyweight graphics for eye-candy?
it literally takes just a few weeks for a new iOS release to overtake the previous one.
Only because Apple controls the update releases. If iOS updates were controlled by the networks (and if anyone other than Apple made handsets), then you'd see the same issues that currently exist for Android.
Bonnets (hoods to USians) aren't structural insofar as they contribute no rigidity to the car. Most are only attached at three points, and those points are only strong enough to keep the bonnet down at highway speed. The true strength of a car comes from the chassis, body frame and the front/rear subframes. In fact, on some newer cars, the bonnet is designed to pop up in a pedestrian collision to soak up some of the force.

Fair enough :)
Quote from the summary:

Which I also included in my original post.
Please wait five minutes and troll again.
Which law makes it illegal to access TBP in the UK?
There isn't one. Some large ISPs were issued a court order to block the site.
Which other sites are censored?
As far as I'm aware, none. However, there is the IWF blacklist that several ISPs use by choice.
First word of my post: Most

Well, it's a good thing the human body doesn't consist primarily of water
Most of it is contained by cell membranes. Also, water's not the only solvent. And from the summary:
in some cases dissolve in water
a lesser evil than replacing "weigh" with "measure the mass of" ... everywhere in astronomy.
You do know that's exactly what they do in astronomy, since they are only concerned about mass, not weight?
Microsoft abandoned their enterprise desktop market with Windows 8.
You do know the main focus of enterprise is getting the servers to run Windows? Once you do that, the clients follow automatically.

Apologies for not keeping up with every little fault in every piece of tech on the market.
Are you sure the networking is the tablet's fault, or the router? I ask as I've never had any issues connecting my Nexus to my Netgear router.
Or the power button, just like all PCs since XP
It's not, but then I'm on Win7
It's not a sensible place, but W8 does have restart options, accessed from the Charms Bar IIRC.

Not just squares, rectangles too!
Restart the computer: ALT-F4 from the desktop
On a tablet, you'd just hold the power button, just like Android (and probably iPad too). On a desktop, you have ACPI, so just press the power button there too.
You can get a command prompt on Android too:
" The command prompt is still there."

Fegh.
Makes just as much sense that way round.
Android is definitely the worst of all tablet UIs. Windows 8 is far superior on the tablet than Android or iOS.
Too many posts to be a shill, so I'll bite. You've obviously not tried the Nexus 7 - that thing is sweeeeeeeeeet!
Don't confuse /. with reality :P
You cannot stop an idea except by discrediting it.

Because.
