Lets review, Windows 7.5, the only mobile OS to be single core only. The only mobile OS to be restricted to a single resolution. The list goes on and on. The only people who like it are MS fanboys,
Or people who don't care about cores or resolution and just want their phone to work. Such as me.
Had Blizzard designed a single player mode that didn't have access to the auction house, achievements, chat, battle.net, or classic co-op multi-player, it could have been done without a connection, but a) it would have been a very short single-player campaign, indeed
Bullshit. If that's the case then how did they manage to do it with Diablo II? Did the programmer get stupider? Did all the smart people leave to make Torchlight?
However, unless making your game public, only friends may join your game, and you have a checkbox option that prevents even them from entering without explicit consent...which sounds an awful lot like a single-player mode.
Fundies aside, there is no "consensus" at all on evolution
Sure there is. The consensus is: species have changed and diverged over time and are continuing to change and diverge.
The post-hoc 'sciences' like economics, climate science, political science, criminology, and so forth are not the same as the so-called 'hard' sciences like physics and chemistry.
What the hell is a "post-hoc" science? Is anthropology not a "real" science? What about cosmology?
Your Ranger sounds like a total pain in the ass. It might be easy to master when you're sitting in a parking lot, but when you're driving and your attention is divided among several different tasks, it's a different matter.
Are you seriously telling us you lack the ability to know whether to twist a knob or move a lever up and down while you're driving? Because if so, never drive again.
Then you end up accidentally turning the wipers on when you're trying to activate the turn signals, or vice versa
I think all my cars have had shared turn signal/wiper levers, and I have never once accidentally turned the wipers on while trying to signal. One is a twist motion, the other is up and down. I seriously don't understand how you could possibly mess that up. Sorry about your lack of motor control.
better vehicles have them on separate stalks
That's a funny way to spell "worse".
Too many items on the same control is an invitation for confusion.
Similarly, what idiot decided to put the winshield wiper on the turn signal? Probably one of the many idiots that never use their turn signals. Not as bad as clamshell packaging or buttons on a car's dash, but still frustrating and stupid.
Um, no. It's great. Twist for wiper, push for washer, up/down for turn signal, forward/back for high/low headlight beams. Easy.
No, but he can direct the DEA to stop enforcing that law and allow states to do what they want while he's in the White House.
No, he can't. That's the President's job: to enforce the laws. A President who refused to enforce the laws would be setting himself up for impeachment.
'If you truly trust the intelligence of the vehicle, then you get in the vehicle and you do our work while you're traveling
And if I don't trust the intelligence of the vehicle? Then what? I'm a programmer and as a result of that, I have an inherent distrust of computers, especially if it's autonomously hurtling me around at 70 mph.
And second, I don't want to "do my work" while I'm in the car. I don't understand this interest in always having to be doing something productive. Today was a nice day, so I drove into work with the top down, enjoying the weather, and listening to the radio, and I don't feel that time was wasted at all.
if he's heard anything at all about it it's a piece of crap hobbled together by a bunch of hippie nerds and you have to use a command line and you can't do half of what you can in Windows, plus you have to be a genius to use it and most hardware has driver issues. False, of course
Now there's no excuse not to make Windows, Mac & Linux versions when you already push out Windows & Mac versions.
Sure there is. If it costs an additional $X to make your game work under Linux, but you project that you will only make $X/5 in return, then you won't do it.

Looks pretty nice to me. *shrug*

Incidentally, D3 is actually pretty fun
If you say so. (Actually, it isn't.)

AMD drivers will suck regardless of what Nvidia does.
And Nvidia drivers will suck regardless of what AMD does as well.
Remember a while back when Nvidia released drivers that could destroy your card? Good times.

What the hell is a "post-hoc" science? Is anthropology not a "real" science? What about cosmology?
So if the question was: "If I hold a brick over your head and drop it, what will happen?" you would refuse to answer it?
But if it said "According to gravitational theory, if I hold a brick over your head and drop it, what would we expect to happen?" then it would be OK?

As opposed to too many controls?

Linux is a viable option.
No, actually, it isn't.
. The U.S. has no authority to overrule what local people desire
Which is what Obama said.
"The president stressed that this is a personal position, and that he still supports the concept of states deciding the issue on their own."
Note that the media has stubbornly refused to cover ANY of his campaign in the last few weeks.
It's not stubborn. It's because the race is over, whether the Paul supporters realize it or not.
No, but he can direct the DEA to stop enforcing that law and allow states to do what they want while he's in the White House.
No, he can't. That's the President's job: to enforce the laws. A President who refused to enforce the laws would be setting himself up for impeachment.
Income disparity has never been greater in America than now.
And that is the the Federal Reserve's fault... how?
I for one side with great Americans such as Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson that central banking is vile and contrary to Republican principle.
It may be vile, but it's less vile than the alternative.

You can log into your Google profile at any time and export all of your data and then delete the profile, leaving no trace.
Would you be interested in this antique bridge I'm selling in Brooklyn?
So you want more competition, but want Microsoft to die. Sorry about your broken logic.
4. We'll happily take an apple/google duopoly over another MS monopoly anyday.
No "we" won't. Or is that the royal "we"?

Wait, which is the false part?
i>We have no choice but to be skeptical of anyone who says anything positive about a product from a large corporation.
Yes, actually, you do.

Bitcoin is an incredible idea
Yes. Literally. As in, lacking credibility.
Politically, FDR was dead
Physically too.
Thanks for telling us what people think.
Or they could just fix the horrible existing UI.
Windows 7 is just a better handled bug-fixed Windows Vista.
Credibility destroyed.
