I keep hearing about that, but I have not experienced this, at least in California. The dry days, evidenced by bloody noses, happen in the summer with the AC running. We also had a humidity gauge awhile back. It varied by rainy days and such, but otherwise not much.
Then such a device might be livable. The fact is, it keeps getting worse. Compatible? I keep having to use Chrome to access all features on major sites like AWeber. Stable? It crashes and stalls often. I upgraded to every new version, and it just kept getting worse.
I wouldn't run my toaster on software engineered by someone from Facebook, let alone a database. I'd have to spend ten minutes searching for my toast, and it would show up the following week.
I have a PC at work, a PC in the home office, and a notebook in the bathroom.:) I want one PC that's ridiculously easy to carry like a tablet, but that's fast enough to do all three jobs. Two of my three setups have multiple monitors. USB 3.0 would be great. Thunderbolt would be fantastic. If it comes with Thunderbolt, I'll buy it in a second. I'd also be thrilled to buy an i3+ speed computer I can fit in my pocket with no screen and keyboard. Then I'd dock it at all these locations.
Well, I saw the Surface with the keyboard and went, "Hmm?" Then I saw that it was ARM and went, "Harumph!" Then I saw that it would come with an i5 and I went, "Oh!" If it's fast and can do video out, there's a good chance I'll buy one.
You're such a wuss with your pitifully slow storage. I got me a PowerEdge R820 with 1.5TB of DDR3 at 1600MHZ, running all but 4GB as my RAM disk. The whole thing weighs like 80lbs and sounds like a jet landing.
If we're looking hundreds of years into the future, things get impossible to predict. Chinese Mormons could take over for all we know.
The history of Islam has vacillated between tolerance of others as second class citizens and wholesale slaughter. Christianity moves more slowly, but the trend is strongly towards tolerance. Islam is strongly trending in the opposite direction, towards intolerance. Will the western world turn around? I hope not. Judging from the kids I've met, it won't happen in the next 50 years. I've seen enough interviews with Muslims, from all sorts of sources on every side of the political spectrum and east/west divide. I read translated articles now and then. I even read the messages in message board, though rarely. What I see is strong piety in the form of adherence to a book that says I am to be subjugated.
Either way, all this argues for an independent Israel, Kurdistan, Armenia, Tibet, Palestine, etc. People need a homeland for when the intolerance somewhere gets too great.
Yes, which means that it's possible for Islam to grow up too. It just isn't happening at the moment. If anything Islam is moving backwards.
>Now look in the muslim Ottoman empire. You could work at whatever you wanted, live wherever you wanted, and even rise to a high level of respect in society. All you had to do was pay an extra tax.
Yes, except for the wholesale slaughter of Armenians and others. No, that's a bad example of living under Islam.
>I'm currently in Turkey and religiously it feels like America. People wear what they want, you can have a girl in a short skirt standing next to a woman in a burka.
Turkey is a strange country. They have a secular history mixed with fighting Islamic takeovers. They've aligned themselves with Syria and Iran, teetering on the edge of the abyss. How are you and the skirted women treated in the countryside?
>What will it be like in 20 years or 100? Who knows. But zealots will be zealots
And Islamic zealots, worldwide, are the majority of Muslims. Part of the reason is the whole crappy culture of Arabs. Most of the problem, though, is straight from Islam. It's a cult that kills those who leave, those who aren't members, and each other over how the cult should be run. It's mostly a clusterfuck.
Actually, a large number of Muslims, the world majority from what I can tell, practice a form of Islam that's totally unacceptable to western thought and liberalism. This is as compared to tiny minorities of Jews, Christians, Buddhists, and Hindus who practice abhorrent forms of their religions. Orthodox Judaism does qualify as weird in many ways, but these guys in the stadium are not trying to convert you by the sword. In Islam, we get widespread subjugation of women, brutal laws for all, and hatred of other religions. According to the Koran, there are three states of dealing with us infidels: temporary peace treaty, dhimmitude, and war. In the US, such monsters are in the minority, but in the Middle East, they're the majority by a long shot. In Europe, it's a mixed bag.
And if you want proof, just look towards how non-Muslims are treated in Muslim nations. It isn't pretty at all.
Most of the people I see who wear keffiyehs are white, middle-class women. Are you a white, middle-class woman or are you just a "fucktard" looking for straw men to attack? It's not even a general Arab piece of clothing. It never was. Plenty of Jews have worn them in the past. It's just a garment adopted as a sign of lefty stupidity, er, I mean support for the destruction of Israel.
What part of multiple sources, left and right, do you have a problem with? Is it that you prefer the safety of ideas that gel with your own narrow-minded thinking?
I don't know. Maybe because the Stormfront people remind me of you? Maybe because I'm not as good at arse stuffing as you are, so I gave up out of despair. I just can't compete with professionals.
I'm not fan of the Daily Mail or any other British paper. A bunch of garbage, really. The Guardian is the worst, though. Either way, the facts of the article are correct, so stop your bitching.
Of course, I don't trust a journalist's take either, especially if that journalist works for the BBC. Talk about an undeserved reputation. The BBC is vile garbage much of the time.

So you're saying that in Soviet Russia, dryers un-dry you?
I keep hearing about that, but I have not experienced this, at least in California. The dry days, evidenced by bloody noses, happen in the summer with the AC running. We also had a humidity gauge awhile back. It varied by rainy days and such, but otherwise not much.
You must like it humid in the house.

You read ebooks!
But not dislike the toast.

I can't put one of these hybrids in my new retina MacBook Pro! I'm so pissed!
I blame the Jews.

Correction. He's a fucking idiot. I'm so happy that racist douches post on Slashdot.

To sum it up, Islam is spread by the sword.

Fucktard? Is that a technical term? Go put on your keffiyeh and watch some BBC.
Nah. I get my news all over. Pretty much everything is better than the BBC, though. Well, they have some good shows, but their news is biased, evil shit masquerading as truth. Seems you're too dense to see it.

Gross. However, I'm not sure I trust a politician's take.
Well, the Jews are certainly looking at leaving.
This monster came and gave his hate-fest speech to a happy audience.

The UK is going to hell.
You received a car with defective brakes. I'd talk to Toyota and your insurance company about that.
It's called Republicans in office and the Supreme Court.
