Small stores that are worth it do survive, the sad problem is: most aren't. Hardware stores as an example. 10 years ago the local hardware store had all sorts of crazy hardware and small tools in stock, and people who could help you find it. Now we have a Lowes, I've grown to despise them, and the local hardware store seems to be doing just fine. Although for me, too many wasted trips with neither having what I need: I plan ahead when possible and order everything online (generally from amazon). Its not about the price, its about the wasted time, and compromising for the item they happen to carry, not the item I want. Will the Lowes and local guy suffer? Maybe, but they're not really competing for whatever reason. Want to compete against Amazon on choice and availability? Do what auto parts stores can do- look up and order just about anything, with most things just a couple hours away via courier. Anyway- I'm not crying for anyone in this game, the internet has brought more of everything, and best of all I don't have to depend on Amazon- they're the top of the heap today, but they falter and someone else can knock them out.
Under OSX it installs an update deamon without asking. Its separate from Chrome and stays there until you explicitly look for it and remove or disable it. Deleting Chrome has no affect, the update daemon just continues to run sending who knows what back to google every hour.
Want to update for me? Fine, do it in the app, don't start up processes I don't know about that will run forever even if I decide to ditch Chrome.
Heres the thing about government: I _want_ them to be inefficient, there is very little good that comes from government directly. They're the lube that allows society to exist and function. It _should_ take a lot of time and effort for them to implement sweeping, possibly destructive changes upon the people it governs.
Meeting price points is part of engineering... shrinking the form factor a few mm each iteration is part of engineering. Apple cares about those things more than your ability to replace a battery with a screwdriver. Lets not pretend they're poorly engineered, they're engineered exceedingly well for their specs. Samsung would love to have an exact copy, I promise you.
It's pretty well documented that once you hit 1080p you need a 37"+ display to see the difference
That is 100% based on distance to screen- from your couch 1080p is probably overkill on a 37", sitting at a desk 1080p is marginally ok on a 23" monitor.
Until I turned down netflix quality to its lowest setting we were bumping into 250Gb every month. Comcast has waged a war on its internet only customers in the last year as well- without a change in service my bill has jumped from $42/month to $75/month since last August.
Its all part of their strategy to keep the cash cow cable tv side alive- cap (or tier) usage, so I can't watch high quality, and keep turning the screws on standalone internet until I decide to bundle with tv.
Which I'm sure is the point. People forget everything they post is viewable by the government and even local law enforcement, but when employers start demanding passwords and going through the 'frontdoor' it reminds everyone how public their data is. That may reduce the usefulness of FB to the government, hence the ban.
Logic. Use it. That article you are so fond of has no bearing on this matter. The constitution says CONGRESS shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. Fine. So say a state makes a law abridging the freedom of speech. That does not violate the constitution in any way. Because of that pesky tenth amendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." That is ALL powers not SPECIFICALLY prohibited.
You may want to brush up on a few things. First amendment SPECIFICALLY applies to states: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gitlow_v._New_York via the 14th. Further because of the 14th most of the rest of the Bill of Rights now applies to the States as well.
With that attitude- please retire. People that can adapt to changing technologies will handle things from here...
Theres nothing wrong with ipv6. Corporate networks may never switch from ipv4, and they don't need to. The rest of the world needs to start supporting dual stack in the next year or two, and be ready for primarily ipv6 internet by the end of the decade (at least).

And thankfully there are a never ending stream of people willing to do so. When the that stops, we're doomed.

First gen MBPs are 6+ years old... so fans can still brag about the 5+ year life...
Math is hard.

Finding that was my last experience with Chrome.
Yeah- Kings are so much better! So efficient!

'hiding' is exactly what he is doing, it has more than one meaning:

v.intr.
2. To seek refuge.
He was the henchman, he got away...
He'll show up in the next Bond movie, except this time he'll have metal teeth and won't talk.
The ending was fine... the main bad guy was dealt with and the henchmen slips into the night (figuratively).
What else do you need?

I assume you don't want a macbook pro? Their 17" has a centered keyboard.
The leading edges of the Enterprise are just foam replacements anyway- the originals were used for testing post Columbia.
Of course he runs the systems that tally the votes...
Whoa there... you might want to check your own pedestal.
Right- all of them.
Depends on the algorithm.

They can rot in hell...
Works great until people wish you happy birthday...

All of that was true of the the original facebook ui... I haven't seen timeline, but if its worse than that the mind boggles.
My mistake on the day of infamy... for some reason I could hear Churchill saying it my head.
All of Europe was liberated at the same time?
The first parts of France would have been free on June 6th, 1944. I guess it didn't live in infamy as long as some people thought.
Theres nothing different with ipv6 in this regard. Reverse proxies work the same under v6 and v4.
With that attitude- please retire. People that can adapt to changing technologies will handle things from here...
