    Actually it'll just be the haters repeating that they keep hearing Apple fans repeating this talking point.

    I'd be a few miles from having beach front property on Lake Agassiz back then. (The draining of which some think may be the source of various flood myths, ya, it was that big and now (recently in Earth terms) it's gone.)

    Basically, "he" was male/neuter with "she" being exclusively female. If you didn't know someone's gender male pronouns were the default.

    People tend to get touchy being called it and using the plural "they" to refer to a single unknown gender person isn't universally accepted, and "he or she" is unwieldy.

    Let's see, we've got Apple involved, so that's doubleplus good right there. Toss in cellphones and non-massive-desktop-based gaming and you've got the trifecta of the two minutes of hate.

    Being the first black president is coincidental (or should I say a bonus) to the fact he's a democrat.

    He agreed 100% that a healthy relationship could prevent 100% of HIV so I was really curious how it takes care of the non-sexual transmission vectors.

    If you know how monogamous hetero relationships can prevent transmission from non-sexual activities could you pass that along to the proper authorities?

    There's lots of protesting for you to do then. Basically every public building has a maximum occupancy, set by some level of Government! The fire marshal is taking away your rights!

    If you're doing civil disobedience then you know you are breaking the law and, this in an important and, you accept the punishment for doing so if it is brought against you.

    Your cause is more valuable than what the punishment takes away.

    If you're just trying to get a message out without the civil disobedience being a protestor isn't a magical get out of jail free card for when you over step your bounds.

    Protestors that don't understand that laws still have to be obeyed and consequences suffered should be removed from the protest.

    If they had their permits and weren't breaking any laws, then they should be there. An unruly and possibly violent mob should not.

    Making super short range vehicles have an even shorter range (when you thought you had a "full tank") sounds like a brilliant idea especially when "gas stations" are few and far between and/or take hours to "put a couple gallons" in the tank.
