  2. Finally replaced on Samsung's Galaxy S9 Will Appear At CES In January, Says Report (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    my almost 4 year old Note 3 with a new Note 8 just last month. It was worth the wait (I had planned on a Note 7 but whatever).

    Looking forward to a new Note 12 in a few years time. Nice to have quality devices you don't want/need to replace every year or two.

    If he's such a bad president and bad person, why do you people even need to make stuff up to defame him

    I'm not American, but all we need to do is listen to him. His character speaks quite badly enough for himself.

  4. convincing the courts that this doesn't violate "one man, one vote".

    The EC is not "one man, one vote" to begin with.....

    Conspiracy theories will adapt to counter any evidence presented.

    I have no mod points today, but that is as informative as they come.

    I'm Canadian, vote Liberal here, and have owned guns for decades. Rifles, pistols, shotguns. There are regulations. They are not onerous.

    I find it odd that in America liberalism and gun ownership are thought to be mutually exclusive. It's like any regulation is onerous.

    We don't wonder why you have mass shootings every week though. We assume it is an American tradition.

  8. Re: Why not COMPETE with the illegal add-ons? on Hollywood Strikes Back Against Illegal Streaming Kodi Add-ons (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Complete discographies are still quite popular torrents. Online music stores have not got that one down yet.

    Now, it must be admitted that his reasoning isn't actually all that bad. If the President really is a traitor and, if he is literally destroying our democracy, then it's not unreasonable to think that violent action might be warranted.

    Isn't that why you own guns? So you can overthrow the government?

    Or does everyone have to agree on it first?

    The only thing that bothered me is I never thought that in the divorce the liberals would get the NFL.

    Why would you not think that given the number of black players?

    for people required to take anti-psychotics after being found Not Criminally Responsible for a crime for instance, or for sex offenders sentenced to chemical castration. Or anyone who is a threat to others if they don't take their meds.

    what exactly are they hoping to learn? This sort of thing has been going on for ages and we've done fuck all about it.

    Exactly. The Onion is supposed to be satire, but sometimes it is disturbingly close to real news.

    Mass hysteria!

  14. Never, EVER, cooperate with the police. Nothing good can ever come of it.

  15. Talented people don't have to - and largely won't - work for douchey employers. They will go elsewhere and these companies will be left with the lowest common denominator of employees. So while they probably did not need to monitor them at the beginning, after a few years of turnover they certainly will.

  16. Isn't this one of the main reasons the internet was invented? To share knowledge.

    Still a lot of interests out there who would prefer the internet had never happened.

    But who cares. We are in charge now. Maybe it's now time to shut down all left wing press, thought, websites, groups, since you're so completely off the rails and unreasonable.

    Perhaps you could round up undesirable groups into concentration camps. I'm sure you would like to.

    That's why greenhouses pump in CO2 to massively increase yields.

    Obviously they are competing to see who can make the least nutritious crops. /sarc

  23. I'm not American. I'm more concerned with getting power to the vast number of people living without.

    Even unemployed US coal miners will probably still already have electricity.

  24. Sun and wind won't be doing base load in the developing world anytime soon.

  25. Even if Americans stop burning coal, it is still a valuable export commodity.

    For many in the world, where billions of people still live without any electricity, it is the only realistic solution.
