  1. Re:HTC on Sorry, Apple, the Headphone Jack Isn't Going Anywhere (yahoo.com) · · Score: 2

    Rumor has it that the next iPhone will be USB-C, but I wouldn't be suprised if they added some proprietary protocols that require Apple/Beats branded headphones or earbuds for that as well.

    Apple are not going to want people to use any old headphones they want, whereby Apple do not get a cut. Hence the ditched headphone jack in the first place.

    Apparently in Norway it's considered reasonable that your audience will speak Norweigan. I know, nutters.

    If this was about voting, and if the quiz was a literacy test, then yes.

    You won't be appreciated but definitely better than the average troll. Well done you.

  5. Someone wants to put a bit of spin on things. Seems kinda desperate.

    Yes but "more and more" are buying them!

  7. It sounds like your point is that the moon is a lot less massive than the earth. Thanks. Was aware.

  8. Liars don't do well in elections? lol. You live in a strange world.

  9. Nukes lose a lot of their destructive power when they can't generate a compression wave e.g. the near-vaccum of the lunar surface.

    You see, it's redundancy like this that keeps up the hateful myth that racists are dumb as fuck. Stop it!

    I looks like it being a 'hitjob' is your preferred view, so just go with it. You'll be able to cobble together enough things that align with that to relieve any cognitive dissonance.

    He (rather stupidly) thinks that Musk is saying that they've already been to the moon and back with this. The kind of mistake that you'd make if you were learning to read or reading at a Trump-esque level.

    "Obscene wealth" is an artifact of Christianity. Wealth is ethics and morals neutral. It's what you do with it that counts, sort of like belief systems.

    Nope. Sitting on mountains of wealth while many do not have water to drink is cuntish behaviour. Doesn't matter if you think Jesus had madical powers or not.

    Doctor. You know what they call someone who scores 70% on the tests? Doctor. Hire crap doctors. Cut cleaning costs. Use older, less accurate equipment. That's Obamacare.

    You have the most expensive healthcare in the world. And it's nowhere near the best.

    Yeah. You can change company regulations and even laws, but there is a cultural interia in Japan about working hours. It would take a concerted effort over more than one generation to change it.
