    I have a Garmin VivoActive HR which I'm a pretty big fan of as an activity tracker. It beats the FitBit in every way. If you're looking for a tracker with smartwatchy features check out the Garmin line.

    I can think of a couple more:

    1. You're overly aggressive and smug demeanor is a very unclear way to communicate
    2. You simply aren't as smart as you think you are and are incapable of communicating clearly
    3. You are actively being disingenuous and purposefully missing the point while labeling someone (possibly anyone) you disagree with as Nazi or stupid

    I don't really know what drives you to be as active on slashdot as you are with your attitude. If you actually cared about progressing the issues you claim to care about take some constructive criticism and realize that the way you go about it is very very wrong.

    My guess is that the real reason is a superiority complex paired with crippling insecurities. I'm already fairly certain I've predicted your thought process from this: didn't congratulate me on shouting down Nazis -> alt-right -> alt-right=racist -> racist=Nazi -> introspection averted.

    In the recent past yes (although the Palestinians might have a different opinion). Judaism is somewhat older than the others though. By their religion they are technically "above" everyone else still. Anyway my point was more the teachings made them supremacist movements in the literal "I am better than you" sense. Not the "you need to die" sense.

    I would say that technically all Abrahamic religions are supremacist movements. Everyone who isn't us is going hell, we're the chosen people, etc.

    I've got a 10 year old Acer laptop that still boots from its original spin drive. Clearly Acer is better quality than Apple.

    I'm not sure how you could come to that conclusion. Maybe if you changed drives 3 times a day you might run into connector failure. An SSD absolutely, no question about it, has a higher chance of failing than the connector it is stuck into.

    I still don't really see how it's relevant. Words are pronounced and even largely mean the same thing in C, C# and Java as well. Syntax nearly identical, punctuation nearly identical, meaning nearly identical. Indonesian and Latin share the same alphabet in present time but they sure didn't evolve that way. The spelling and script were adopted long after the language evolved over top of its own script systems.

    C# and Java are derived from C. There are clear evolutionary relationships. Only an imbecile would try to claim otherwise. Give it up dude.

    C# superficially looks like C, in the same way that Indonesian superficially looks like Latin.

    No, Indonesian only resembles Latin because it uses the same character base. Which would make your Modula-3 as closely related to C as it is to C# (and Indonesian). They all use the same character base.

    C and C# share basic syntax rules as well as character set. Kind of like, say, Latin and French. Oh wait...

    It uses a C style syntax which makes it a C derivative (same with Java). Or "C based" if you will. But I'm sure you know more and better than the designers of the C# and Java languages.

    I'm sure C++ is also not C based by your definition.

    My Honda Accord has a right side mirror camera. It displays your blindspot in the centre screen when the right signal is on so it can't be illegal here in Canada.

    That said it does kind of suck. I like having it but on a sunny day it's pretty useless due to both the camera and screen getting washed out. I use the mirror more than the camera still.

  23. Anonymous polls from where? You're going to have to give sources on these figures because the only research I have ever personally seen reporting these outcomes have basically been checklists on what not to do when you want useful results. I'm sure an anonymous poll from the huffington post will yield totally legit results for such a question.
