:-) Ohhhh, so weak and far off target with your conspiracy theories there. I expected better. I'm "curious", care to *show your work*? Or shall we just call it a wrap for this one?
:-) Cute, but that doesn't address the issue of making me breath your effluence. Or maybe you're suggesting I move upwind? Hard to tell what people are saying these days.
And be more careful with your punctuation. Every unnecessary bit requires more storage and only contaminates the air even more. In fact, under the circumstances, powering down your computer completely, and maybe donating it to a needy kid would be of great benefit to us all.
Well, since you decided to go there, honestly I think you're a demented moron, and now I suddenly lost interest... You're no longer worth the effort... Go play somewhere else...
The internet is hardly "within its own borders". The states can't regulate which trucking companies operate on the interstate highways either. Why should we let them regulate this? This is precisely one of those things we need the feds for.
You don't mind if I apply that to things like slavery, child labor laws, desegregation, and pollution (which doesn't respect state lines) regulation, do you?
When the local authorities fail to protect us, sometimes it is necessary to call in the cavalry. But we are then responsible for its oversight also.
This is just another unfortunate incident of government serving the interests of its biggest "contributors", and a submissive public that won't take the issue into the voting booth.
A removable battery means the machine is more fire resistant. And you can make sure it is really powered down, as pointed out the above reply to the AC.
In my personal case, a defective battery that was overheating can be removed so I can still use my machine while plugged in without risking a fire.
I just lost an iPhone because the battery swelled up (didn't burn) and destroyed it two weeks after not using or charging it. If it were removable, it would have just popped the cover off, I could have bought a new battery, and still have a working phone. Luckily it was a gift, so I didn't lose any money over it, but I just might take it to the store anyway and demand they repair or replace it. It is one of those things I would call "unacceptable".
Non removable batteries are a real danger and should not be allowed. If we can prohibit the use of antifreeze in baby formula, we can prohibit this.
They work wonderfully when the system locks up. I suppose a real reset button would be an acceptable replacement, but we know Apple would never do that.
And I still insist that non removable batteries are dangerous.
Maybe they mean six million out of every hundred thousand Americans. Eh, whatever, soon they'll be telling us how grateful we should be to have drinkable tap water at all. I suppose the bottling industry just got themselves some new promotional material.
And we still can't make a robust computer. But then I have to remind myself that we rode horses and even had the wheel for over ten thousand years before we invented an automobile with fine Corinthian Leather. So, I guess I should be patient.
The quotes you like to pull up say nothing about "conspiracy". They show what is left after washing away the bullshit that you take at face value. You are "grasping at straws" I believe is the phrase.
This is not rocket science.
And it's not a "conspiracy". It's a game.
But you can can work the definitions anyway you like, it's your game too.
Yes, it is... something to make you feel good about your own self, as you like to put it. S'alright, I have no problem with it..
conpsiracies
Ah yes, the hand waving of something I never even implied... If it's not illegal, it can't be a "conspiracy". Merely sharing a common interest is no such thing. However I guess you have to call it "conspiracy" for the same reason I pointed out above.
Your entire response up there shows signs of weakening and fatigue. Maybe if you take another "long weekend" you can come back with something more salaciously gratifying.

Yes, we broke it ourselves.
The Contract
Did you just say the "F" word?!
"My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you I just signed legislation which outlaws Russia forever. The bombing begins in five minutes."
Whoops! Sorry! Are we interrupting?
Heh, maybe the attraction really is mutual :-)
No, they mislabeled Operation Eternal Opium
Why do people think that this type of leak was necessary?
Because we want something as robust (if it really is). We all have the same right to protected communications.
Anybody got a price and/or torrent? It seems to be a fairly closely guarded secret.
A publicly available alternative wouldn't hurt.
25% is not nearly enough. Make it about 80%, pus or minus...
Leave the religious bullshit outside the door. If you want to stop the terrorists, you have to at least reduce their pay
Fuck you, asshole,.

My anecdote beats your anecdote's ass! So there! Pffft!

And the reasons cannot be more obvious. I needn't say anything more.
Gaming is growing so big and complex, the next version of Solitaire will require government funding, just like Hoover Dam.
Maybe they mean six million out of every hundred thousand Americans. Eh, whatever, soon they'll be telling us how grateful we should be to have drinkable tap water at all. I suppose the bottling industry just got themselves some new promotional material.
Why are they obviously purposefully reverting my settings?
Think of it as early onset of dementia. Microsoft is just becoming a bit forgetful, and left its dentures in the refrigerator again.
And we still can't make a robust computer. But then I have to remind myself that we rode horses and even had the wheel for over ten thousand years before we invented an automobile with fine Corinthian Leather. So, I guess I should be patient.
Can go either way. Do whatever you want with it. You're just another clown, as goofy as Bill Dawg.
Oh I get it! It was a joke... Nice change up

Yes, another vector, another challenge. What could be more exciting?
just because it's true..
Well first off, it isn't.
