STFU. Seriously. That's one single article in the non-peer reviewed journal Newsweek. That's also all you can find from the 70s. Most people who care to know already knows this, most probably you too. I refuse to believe you're not deliberately perpetuating a long debunked myth for the purpose of propaganda. In other words, you're dishonest prick. I hope you're ashamed of yourself. I know your mother should be.
Besides, most people don't know how to use Word properly. It's become better since 2007, but before that, it actually encouraged bad usage. At least OpenOffice made people use styles simply by having them available. There's nothing particularly good about Word even today, it's just common.
Absolutely and totally wrong. The town was chosen for access to cheap hydroelectric power in the early 20th century, and a deep valley would be a terrible defensive location.
Bullshit. Last year, it was awarded to the EU, the year before that to some African women you never heard about, and then a Chinese dissident you also never heard about (funny how it's usually the Western elite and non-Western dissidents). One exception doesn't prove shit.
Only stupid people make emotional decisions regarding tools, there are far better reasons than "because you want to".
Nonsense. When buying a simple mechanical tool like a hammer, it's much better to try holding it, swinging it and see what it feels like than going through a list of specifications. Same with smartphones, in that there's a real difference in how you physically interact with them. If it gets the job done with a minimal amount of stress, you'll be happy with it. The need for special apps as front-ends to every little web page (which is what most smartphone apps are) is there mainly because phones in general are deficient in this area.
Linux is probably more widespread than Windows. Unless your wireless router is from Apple, it probably runs Linux. Same for tablets, ebook readers, and phones, of course. Windows only owns the desktop, which is here to stay, but gets less and less relevant each year.
Actually, your usage of the terms 'ad hominem', 'appeal to authority' and 'straw man' are more of an appeal to authority (the logical tradition) than whatever you found in the AC's comment. You shouldn't use difficult words when you clearly have no idea what they mean.
Nokia's 'ClearBlack' technology uses some kind of polarizing wizardry to achieve daylight readability. It works. My old Nokia N9's AMOLED was much more sunlight readable with the brightness turned all the way down than my current Nexus 4's IPS is with the brightness turned all the way up. They still use it in their Lumia devices.
If Depeche Mode and Cranberries are what you like, I doubt I'm the right person to give you advice on music. But yeah, if you can't think of one good new music group to show up the last 10 years, then you've evidently stagnated, so it turned out I was right all along. Luck, I suppose.
Which Bach do you mean: Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, Johann Christian Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Johann Ludwig Bach, or? Right, those are mostly forgotten. And yes, you've stagnated if the best examples of contemporary fiction you can come up with are Harry Potter and 50 Shades of Grey.
He's still right, though. You and your friends listen to 3 decades old music because you've stagnated, but even you won't listen to just any 30 years old record. I mean, even though it was a #1 hit close to 30 years ago, "Never Gonna Give You Up" is mostly remembered due to Rickrolling. Most music, most literature, most films and most art has always been shit; contemporary shit is just more acceptable due to being part of the zeitgeist. Old crap is forgotten, and people forget that they forget, and thus you get the popular delusion that there used to be some golden age.
Just wanted you to be clear about what kind of bigot you are. Misogynist it is, then. (I've never heard it said that misogynists don't enjoy ogling women, that's a novelty.)
Most Word users use Word wrong. That's harder to do with LibreOffice. But I don't understand your problem with footnotes and endnotes. It's not exactly complicated. I also don't understand why you would want to use both. That's just ugly.

If the 31 dollars were profits on the 30 dollars you spent, then you certainly didn't become poorer. Money isn't wealth.
Always eager to do Apple's PR work, aren't you?

You're an idiot.
Sales are down, for everything except the iPhone. Not cynic, just stupid.

Right. And removing mass just make the quakes less massive, amirite?
Ah. Idiot know-it-alls. Always eager to ignore readily available empirical evidence.

It's not. But it's big and powerful, and would put up a fight if the U.S. tried to extract him. Most first world countries wouldn't even dare protest.
Dozens of Bach's mostly forgotten? Of course, for every genius known worldwide there are a million forgotten tryhards. Your point is?
That was my point. Re-read the thread if you're confused.
I just don't understand how anyone can defend the ridiculous thesis that old literature and music are inferior to today's literature and music.
Good. No one was arguing that.
If Depeche Mode and Cranberries are what you like, I doubt I'm the right person to give you advice on music. But yeah, if you can't think of one good new music group to show up the last 10 years, then you've evidently stagnated, so it turned out I was right all along. Luck, I suppose.
Billie Holiday died in 1959, The Cure had their studio début in 1979. Your sixties are longer than mine.

This is probably one of the few places where the correlation is not causation meme isn't total moonbat idiocy.

Would you say the same if this was about racism, or do you think misogyny should be more widely accepted?
Bullshit. You tried to get your dad using a Mac, just like you try to get others to buy Macs right now.
