First I had to get up and cross the room to change the channel. Then I had to push a button on the remote to change the channel. Now I have to speak to change the channel!? What version of tvOS will allow me to think to change the channel? Though, now that I think about it that might not be such a good thing. Wife: "What is wrong with the TV? Why does it keep flipping to the Playboy channel?"
I am so grateful that I never created a LinkedIn account. I receive requests from people everyday to link in to their profiles, but since I have no social media accounts I've declined getting Linked In. But recently I've been thinking that maybe I should at least have a LinkedIn account for networking. Thank goodness I dodged that bullet.
I work for a Fortune 50 company. A huge portion of our user base is in China where IE 7(!) and 8 are still VERY common. Unfortunately many of our users are on dedicated hardware that absolutely cannot upgrade to a newer browser. The only way for them to upgrade is to get new hardware. The makes leaving jQuery behind very difficult.
This all sounded reasonable until the last line. What!? Did I read that right? A lawn mowing service? Talk about a non sequitur. Does anyone have any insights into this? I've never been to Finland, but I imagine they only need to mow their lawns for a few months a year. What do they do on Tuesdays during the rest of the year? Are these the postal workers who are mowing the lawns?
My password manager password is my longest one. It is nearly 40 characters long (mixed case, alphanumerics, and special characters) and I don't have it written down anywhere.
What!? That is the epitome of crazy logic. How would a 2016 Honda civic do in a wreck with a modern truck? Would it do better or worse than a 2004 suburban? Or do trucks only get into accidents with Suburbans?
Your priorities are all screwed up. I have a 2000 Toyota Sienna and a 2004 Chevy Suburban and they both are in great condition. They've been paid off for years and the maintenance on the cars per year is far far less than what I'd spend in car payments in just a few months. Even if they don't have aux ports of bluetooth I'd be nuts to give them up. I'm driving them till they catastrophically die. I just read about a guy who's Toyota reached 1,000,000 miles. I'm hoping to put the same number on mine before I give it up.
Neither of my cars (both from the early 2000s) have aux ports. Apparently there is a way to add one on one of the cars, but the parts cost hundreds of dollars and it involves basically dismantling the dashboard.
To tell you the truth I can't think of any negative things that have happened in my life from not being on Facebook. I guess its one of those things where I've never tried it so I don't know what I might be missing.
I don't eat at McDonalds since I make enough money that I can eat at places that cost more but, in my opinion, have higher quality food. If most people who eat at McDonalds make less than me (maybe they are in blue-collar or minimum-wage jobs?) and their jobs all get automated then who is going to be buying the fries?
For those, like myself, not familiar with the acronyms GW and AGW, here is a help:
Even if GW (George W [Bush]) is not AGW (A Great Wonder), even if GW (George W [Bush]) is not real, why should we not as a species work to reduce our impacts everywhere?
I agree, we definitely need to reduce the impacts caused by George W everywhere.
We are the same. We actually switched from wireless phones in the house to one hardwired phone in the kitchen when the kids got old enough that it became a problem. The only computer they can use in the kitchen where we can monitor what they are doing (and we have to unlock it before they can use it). We have a TV, but all it is hooked up to is a DVD player. No internet access to the TV. You want to go to a friends house and do I don't know what? Let's invite them over here instead. Etc. I'm absolutely flabbergasted at guardians who let their kids have unsupervised media access. I hesitate to call them parents since it sure doesn't look like parenting to me.
They won't be social outcasts. I don't allow my teenagers to have a smart phone/tablet/etc. unless they want to buy and pay for it themselves (shocker - they don't) and they are far from social outcasts.
I'd rather just pull out my phone and get the answer to my query than walk all the way to the kitchen or whatever room this device resides in. Unless you live in a small apartment I just don't see it being useful.
Also large families. We have seven children. My wife is constantly driving kids around to different activities - fencing, piano lessons, swim lessons, soccer, track, guide dog meetings, library volunteer work, dentist, eye doctor, etc. ad naseum - I can't imagine 1. her having to wait for a large enough vehicle to be made available to carry everyone, 2. having to haul around all the stuff that normally sits in the back of the vehicle until it is used (she always has a picnic blanket and other park toys so if they are waiting for someone to get done she can just take the kids to a local park to run around), 3. having to keep the little kids entertained for 15+ minutes while waiting for the vehicle to arrive so they can go to the next destination, etc.

I'm not absolutely sure, but from what I've been told these machines cannot be updated in any way, shape, or form. But I don't know the specifics.

I give up. I genuinely can't tell if you are a troll or just stupid.

Raises hand. I actually have two cars that don't have Bluetooth. A 2000 Toyota Sienna and a 2004 Chevy Suburban.

Ah, that actually makes a lot more sense. Though I never would have guessed that AGW means what you said.

If most people who eat at McDonalds make less than me (maybe they are in blue-collar or minimum-wage jobs?) and their jobs all get automated then who is going to be buying the fries?
I still have no idea what GW and AGW really mean. If only I cared enough to google them ;-)

Nothing says "Good Morning!" quite like crunchy marshmallows.
Empirical studies have shown conclusively that Lucky Charms are magically delicious.

"that no one knows about". Is your name "no one"? Because otherwise clearly some one does know about it.
Also large families. We have seven children.

"the MIT researchers built their proof-of-concept robot using a durable pork casing" That was smart of them to make it out of an inedible material.
