"In case anyone thinks that the US has good/solid infrastructure"
No one thinks that, our internet sucks, ota tv is useless, our power grid fails multiple times a month during both summer and winter, roads are a crumbling joke and bridges and dams are falling apart.
Then there is the bipartisan government circle jerking for a decade racking up the bribes so GE can sell off our R&D to Brazil, while our kids are taking pieces of the road to chuck at each other cause they are too stupid to not even play in the middle of the street, and you are worried about a phone call in a densely packed urban shithole?
Well the entire practice is just a minor inconvenience, this is not some pleasure boat out on the lake trying to find the dock in the next town... military ships that are not a flat out joke are still keeping charts and mapping their location out.
If your enemy is a small fishing boat with three random douches and a Vietnam era rocket launcher, your not really going to know anyway if its just some fishing boat or an attack, and by the time you do know, well its a little late to jam their tom-tom...
This is really a throw back to cold war era tactics, where some superpower is coming to get you with a trillion dollar fleet, but again your not going to stop them, just maybe agervate them, and that type of warfare is really ~ 70 years old. Not that it could not happen in the future, but not that it is a difficult feat in the first place.

while I mostly agree with you, 99% of the time its a hassle BUT I also dont need to redress my charater all the freaking time, there is no real need, just wear your armor and half of it goes away, a quarter of that is done in towns and shops where who cares, and the rest is just swapping out a weapon for the best effect.
but hey, if you want endless pages of text and a brutal interpreter with a vocabulary less than a chimp, there are plenty of those games made to thoroughly punch you in the gut with frustration.
the amusing thing is they are getting like zero property taxes and land as part of the package, whatever brings jobs... course those are low paying jobs where you choose if you want to pay rent in the ghetto, or have health insurance, maybe a few times a year you can budget a trip to mc-donalds
I never claimed superiority, so thanks for being a total douche, and I have never in my life claimed to own an i anything
so who the fuck are you talking about? there is more than one person in this thread you worthless fuckwit troll, maybe if you were not using a 500$ toy to view slashdot you could fucking read.
if you really knew anything you would know it does not matter what side they are on, they are all the same greedy worm bastards participating in the same circle jerk while the country goes to hell. What one side liked yesterday is totally wrong when the other side likes it, its frankly pathetic, and nothing ever gets done.
I agreed to totally free checking with a complementary debit card, without even the courtesy of a letter I am seeing 4$ charges for using my money a few years later.
I know what I agreed to because I have it in writing, for those items I am required to meet a minimum balance and have direct deposit, which I do. Now I am looking for a new bank and have filed with the BBB (as if that was not a placebo joke)

good point
depends on your perspective, the US prison cells look like upscale college dorms compared to the ones in North Korea
At best its a guess, at worse its a chunk of non fictional art. Take with your grain of salt
how many ships are going to be in Ürümqi, Brazil, Papunya, Republic of the Congo, and South Dakota? Now how many ships are going to be near Scotland?
Island/coastal regions are bound to be a bit more sensitive about naval traffic than land locked ones.
Tis a no brainier really ...

Apple already invented rounded corners ...
Its not sad, its fucking pathetic.
Your opinion on a particular product does not really matter, fact is everything sited in the complaint existed in the mid 1980's
A PDA is just a weak computer in a small form factor, so why did palm even get it in 2002 when a calender on a computer was decades old before then?
Patents are worthless, and are choking what little creativity is left in our country.
They have decent TV program listings

Try living barefoot. Then you'll see just how fast a dirty hippy shits out a lawyer when they get a minor abrasion on their foot

yes the "fuck you I got mine" party, the only positive is the illusion of legalising dope

Apparently you DO care if your getting all buthurt over some dorks spouting nonsense about a company
Apple had a tablet then, it flopped too but thanks for your totally illogical tripe
ok so since someone does not need a 500$ toy with a fart app they must be a total looser ... go fanboi go

the banks do it every swipe, a little from you, a little from the seller and the CEO gets a 30 million dollar parachute and benefits
