  1. Such as Apple Music that was sued out of its name by Apple (after already winning a case against Apple that they would not enter the music industry)?

    As far as I can tell, it is firmly second world, but what does that have to do with development?

    First world doesn't mean what you think it means.

    Nope, not even close to any of those.

    I did not have that problem with the Blackberry Storm 2, perhaps you were doing something wrong?

    Verizon and AT&T now have phone financing. It shows on your bill that you pay x per month for y years. On my VZ Wireless account, it even shows me how much the buyout is, and how much they will give me for the phone in working condition.

    They also have the hidden every two costs as well at least at Verizon, though they are making efforts to move away from that model. They actually gave me a discount off my bill every month that was more than the cost of financing, so the financing of the phone actually paid for some of my bill (which is outrageously high...)

  8. Or a Hillary supporter, or a Cruz supporter, or a Bernie supporter. Any of them works.

  9. Does it? I have seen only one case of violence that was perpetrated by a Trump supporter, and that was after the precious snowflake spit on the 70+ year old man. Do you have citations for any violence that was started by the Trump camp at a Trump rally?

  10. The other small detail about Mars everyone overlooks with visions of living in domes and running around on the surface growing vege gardens is that anyone who travels there will need to live about 6 feet / 2m below the surface to avoid the radiation from the solar wind and space that our thick Earth atmosphere and magnetic field shield us from. Also the soil is toxic, but don't let that stop you!

    Which you wouldn't know without the basic research being done like this.

    Wouldn't a dirt mountain that was built for generating rain kind of have erosion issues? I suppose you could cap it with concrete to hold the dirt in place.

    The newer Google images are even better than the one in that story. Those are some serious Pyramids, they should totally build them as replicas of the Egyptian pyramids.

    The funny thing about all of this is that Mexico wants the wall too and is willing to chip in for it.

    A wall on the Mexican-American border will slow and possibly stop the drug trade which is devastating the northern parts of Mexico.

    It looks like the prevailing winds are from the Mediterranean towards the south (east and west). So, if they were to build mountains along their East or South, it might work, but would shadow parts of Oman and Saudi Arabia.

    Um, Libertarians are a branch of the Republican Party. The TEA party is a Libertarian movement.

    Look at the chart on the bottom of the first answer, Libertarians can be right or left, but are primarily right.

    North Korea is:

    - provides a level of living to all its citizens (socialism/communism)
    - has socialized medicine
    - is not capitalist.

    North Korea is a Authoritarian Left state...just like China used to be, and Russia used to be. Just because you seem to think Authoritarian is the opposite of Left, doesn't make it true, as Authoritarian is the opposite of Libertarian. Right is opposite Left.

    So, since you seem to think NK is not Left, please point out where on the chart at the bottom of the first answer NK belongs instead.

    Perhaps you are the one who doesn't understand that there is a left and right, and authoritarian and libertarian dimensions to the political spectrum. NK is Authoritarian Left.

    So, your stance is that because a reactor took longer to build and cost more, all nuclear power is terrible?

    Why was this UK reactor delayed? Was it maybe because of Fukushima, and lawsuits related to that against them? Why has it taken longer to build than estimated when they started? Did things change during construction that made the delays happen?

    I see no indication of why the reactor was delayed, but you offer no evidence that is had anything to do with poorly run anything, and instead just act like it is fact.

    Modern nuclear power plants use containment vessels that can only be made in one factory that is in Japan, it is possible that the delays were just because of the Tsunami that caused the Fukushima incident, and nothing at all to do with mismanagement.
