If Microsoft "won" that round, why have they almost completely abandoned it in recent years?
The.NET Framework was last updated 47 days ago (as of this post). That's so far from 'abandoned', I wonder if you're just trolling (which you almost certainly are).
For example in the UK (except Northern Ireland), an ID is not required at the time of voting
But you are required to bring the voting card you received in the post, which is only sent to those on the electoral roll. OK, it's not strictly ID, but it serves a similar purpose.
Well, there is a walled garden. The difference is this one has a huge gate that you can walk through at any time. You can even go inside someone else's walled garden.
In that way, Android's a bit like the Chelsea Flower Show - many gardens to choose from.
Except that no matter how tall the police vehicle is, it's very difficult for the driver to look down through the driver's window of an adjacent vehicle (left or right side).
If only there was a seat on the passenger side where someone could sit and look so the driver doesn't have to...
a significant number of positions held in the upper chamber of your parliament are granted for life
At the moment - that number will drop dramatically if the Commons can get their House of Lords reform through to law, after which the majority of the Lords will be elected.
the monarch bestows lordship
Only on the advice of the Prime Minister or the House of Lords Appointments Commission.
the monarch is also the head of the little church whose clergy has granted seats in the house for which lordship is required
Only for 26 out of 781 seats - not enough to weild any real power.
Despite this 'undemocratic' structure, the Lords has been a somewhat effective guard against the Commons trying to push through some of the more controversial laws. Is it perfect? Of course not. But it's better than nothing at all.
Don't know about the Commonwealth, but a UK Act of Parliament only becomes law once the reigning monarch has signed it as such. Theoretically, the Queen has veto over any and all proposed laws, but it's a power that's never, and will never be, exercised.

To add to this, turbos are returning to F1 next year.

I get the feeling there's more to biking than just seeing the scenery...
All LastPass encryption/decryption is done client-side, so unless you can hack someone's master password, the server data is useless.

To be fair, yesterday existed, so the editors might not have been paying full attention to the site.
FTFY
Yet it is far more prevalent in the U.S. than in other Western countries.
Clearly you've never heard of the Daily Mail.

The reason the fires started is that the "fuel tank" is sitting right underneath your ass
Same as petrol/diesel cars.
Er, explosive triggers on hard drives? Seriously?
He's probably thinking more along the lines of a percussion cap rather than a few ounces of C4. You only need enough to damage the platters.
Taller car then.
Nah, just break the project up into libraries and turn on incremental build.
Add the UK to that list.
Or you could lower the seat.

With good cheer ;)
Imagine if the upper house was stocked only with ordinary people, now *that* would be democratic.
You just accidentally defined the House of Commons :P

We Brits are reasonably OK with our combined monarchy/democracy set-up. At least, it's no worse than any other Western democracy.
Nintendo have sold about 35 million 3DSs to Vita's 2.x million. It's obviously a very slim margin, but I think Nintendo still hold the #1 spot.
It has will have going to have happened happened, but hasn't actually happened happened yet, hactually
advanced piece of technology such as a 3rd-gen game console
Good to know you think so highly of the Master System :P Joking aside, the PS4 is 8th generation.
And that's why they say it's the largest known.
Wait, is this a Cloud-to-butt plug?
