    Too bad Bozo wasn't on the ballot; the USA might've had a shot at sane and competent leadership.

    On the ballot? He fucking won.

    Easy: Hillary was corrupt, incompetent, dishonest, war-mongering, and a party-hack. Bozo the Clown would have been a better choice than Hillary.

    As opposed to Trump who is corrupt (hiring illegal workers and not paying them as well as colluding with a foreign government during the election), has repeatedly shown his incompetence (I thought it would be easier), has lied since day one (Hillary's not in jail, Obamneycare wasn't repealed on day one, Mexico isn't paying for the wall, the swamp is filled almost to capacity and he's gone golfing more times in three months than Obama went in an entire year), has gotten several service members killed already because of his penchant to use the military without thought, and a hack of the highest order as shown by the chaos of his administration where one hand literally does not know what the other is doing.

    So yeah, big difference between the two.

    You forgot about ISIS. I assume Trump did too because they still exist, and I believe he promised they'd already be gone by now.

    Also, what in the hell does this have to do with Russia? This was an election in France. At least read the title.

    lol. The Russians hacked Macron, thinking the shame shit they pulled with the yanks would work twice. Turns out the French are smarter. Who would've thunk it.

    How dare there be a punishment for doing something illegal

    Yep, thanks for summarising the situation for everybody. There are two and only two positions.

    ONE: Nobody gets any punishment for doing something illegal.

    TWO: Watching a copyrighted work on a stream without paying gets you ten years in prison.

    You just announced you're an idiot, incapable of nuanced thought. Good going.

  12. Yeah. People can only care about one particular civil right each. Caring about more than one simultaneously is madness. So of course they're completely different populations.

    Longest uptime was 144 days which I hit before upgrading to Sierra. Compare: I have a Dell Win10 PC that crashes when I unplug my mouse or it goes to sleep with an Arduino plugged in.

    Longest uptime? On a laptop? Uh, OK.

    Your Dell story is fascinating. I have one that has never crashed, as far as I can recall. That's anecdotes for you eh. "Compare" indeed.

    Come off it:

    The Sales Figures seemed to combine the ENTIRE "Surface" brand of Products. That includes Laptops, Franken-Tablets, and even a Desktop.

    Most of those products COMPLETELY overlap Apple target markets; in fact, they are CALCULATED to do JUST THAT.

    Holy shit, you're repetitive. Why do you care so much? You're worried people might think something bad about Apple?

    Can't be bothered reading anymore comments on this article as I know about 20% of it is you with your fucking sales figures.

    Why do you keep posting about Apple sales? You're really fucking weird. Most people would feel self-conscious about being quite so fanboyish. Yes, Apple sell more stuff than Microsoft. Apple are just great. Relax.

    Not likely. We tried the Surface Pro at work. Its performance was so bad, its interoperability with Microsoft's own software so poor, its concept so poorly thought out that our management, largely pro-Microsoft since the beginning of time, threw the piece of shit in the trash.

    I started a new job and was supplied with a Surface Pro. Seems to work exactly like a larger laptop would apart from the different hardware ports.

    No idea what the fuck you're on about with respect to 'interoperability with Microsoft's own software"? I have Office on this and it works fine. What doesn't it interoperate with?

    Unbelievable as in not actually happening? That's right. You'll have to find something else to clutch your pearls about. Everybody knows Turkey isn't joining the EU. Make sure you keep saying it is though, spin is more important than reality.
