    You do realize that several times in this string you have been asked what your argument is. You didn't actually come out and say anything, you just claim vaguely that somehow women succumb to social pressures to not go into the job fields they want to, you were then asked to prove it. You are asserting that women are too weak to go into the fields they want to, and need help for some reason. Feel free to back up your statement with some kind of facts, instead of using someone's attempt to figure out what you are trying to say against them.

    In other news, Humons are also completely solitary creatures and are not affected by their social environment.

    So, you are saying that women are incapable of deciding what they want, and are instead pigeonholed by society? You are being asked direct questions, and instead of answering, you attack the asker. Are women too weak to decide on their own, or are they equal to men and therefore don't need any help deciding?

    Funny, I still can get laptops with optical drives, and desktops with floppy drives and parallel ports. Where have others actually followed Apple?

    You are missing that there are hundreds of Android manufacturers. You are asserting that none of them will have a headphone port. That is moronic in the extreme. You are dictating that it isn't needed, just like SD cards, which many phones still have.

  3. I'd vote for McAfee, he at least would be entertaining.

  4. I'll vote for option C that asks what a nuke is.

  5. Living in Maryland (always goes D), that has come to be my decision. I can't in good conscious vote for any of the candidates, but I feel that a vote for Johnson at least will help the Libertarian party in the next election. If he gets even 10% of the vote, it will make the main parties stand up and listen, and stop being deaf to the common man...at least in theory.

  6. Godzilla is a very well kept secret, I don't know how they keep the satellites from seeing him doing the backstroke in Tokyo Bay.

    I looked at that site, and didn't see the answer obviously stated. What 5 states?

    I am honestly curious to see the political leaning of the states that have passed the bills for this, as it will say much about their positions.

    What is your opinion on the BBC? I have been using it as my news source for a while as it is neutral to US politics, which can't be said of any US news outlet.

  16. Re:Makes perfect sense on New iPhone 7 Case Brings Back the Headphone Jack (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    So far there is no evidence that the fixed phones have any issue. There was a story about one phone in China that wasn't in the problem group, but as no one was able to investigate, there is no indication of if it was user error, or what.

    Frankly, the way Samsung has been handling the situation makes Apple look horrible. How many times have they denied issues? You're holding it wrong after all, it isn't that the antenna shouldn't be exposed, it is all user error.

    You act like Samsung is so horrible compared to Apple, when frankly, Apple is the horrible one. They are so brave getting rid of a used connector. They still deny the lack of strength in the iPhone 6 phones which is leading to touch disease, and led to bent phones when they came out. Apple is far worse than Samsung, who recalled a phone before any government asked them to.
