If it's Microsoft, it's bad! It's probably EEE, or anti-competitive or something that I'd be fine with any other company doing, but because it's M$ it's EVIL!!1
They felt alienated because as a nominee he said he'd do things that they didn't agree with (e.g. The Wall, Repeal ACA). So now that he has a chance to do these things, and in some cases is already doing them, they still feel alienated.
The fax machine on the receiving end is at the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of the Leopard".
New version of {thing} came out. We all know {thing} is bad because it is new. MY issue wasn't fixed, therefore nothing the latest version of {thing} has to offer counts.
OK I think there was some misunderstanding. You're citing a specific example. I (and others?) thought you (and zugmeister?) meant any promise.
How do you feel about ones where more than one person is involved? Should a President never campaign on a thing where the other branches of government have a say?
No, I meant since there are always unforeseen situations, no one can really promise anything if you're going to be pedantic and blame outside forces. As an example, what is something you would promise to deliver?
That's the minimum. Since the Pixel has only been out since October, you don't know how much support it will continue to get.
People said the same thing every time a new Nexus came out. Even the Nexus 5, which Google still occasionally uses in promotional material, had its support dropped as soon as the minimum passed.
Google uses the word minimum to fool you into your line of thinking. "No, this time, it'll be different, with this phone".... right.
I think GP means (dis)agree with EVERYTHING Trump says/does. As in, you either think Trump is the second coming of Christ that will lead us to a perfect Utopia, or he is the bastard child of Satan and Hitler.
It seems there is ***only*** two kinds of people, those that agree with Trump and those who do not. None will come to a common ground, there will be no trades or bargaining. It will be either you go along with me or you can just f---off. Lots of luck for a united people.
You must be new to US politics. Replace "Trump" with "current president" and it's been like that for as long as I can remember.
If you wanted [the popular vote] to count, the vote totals would change, substantially. A lot of Republicans in California don't vote because what is the point?
Couldn't you then also say a lot of Democrats in Red States don't vote for the same reason?
Unfortunately, like any politician in any office for any party, once in office they aren't required to even try to accomplish what they said on the campaign trail.
This has been true since the advent of the DVR (or even the VCR to a lesser extent), unless you are a slave to broadcast schedules. Just get better at avoiding spoilers. It's a better viewing experience to wait until you have the whole season at once rather than mixing one episode of show X and an episode of show Y the next day.
For a usual weekly show, you'd be a few days behind with DVR, so you'd only have spoilers for that episode. Now, you could have spoilers instantly, all the way to the season finale.
Slashdot Mobile pages are slow! Ugh I can't believe publishers are using STANDARDS to deliver content I don't want ( and therefore no one else wants because everyone thinks like me)
Google OK, here's a different standard that is limited on purpose in order to focus on content
Slashdot Ugh I don't like that either! It's too limiting!! If only everyone would make pages how I want, everyone would be happy. I won't even so much as make a single page for fear to be proven wrong though.

2) Engage in actual political activism, rather than just smugly congratulating yourself for another snarky Facebook repost of HuffPo or Common Dreams;
What would this entail?

It goes both ways
Now to be Republican you have to be pro Federal Legislation and anti Big Business?
I believe GP is referring to top .0001% of people in terms of wealth, that backed Trump. Not .0001% of the population.
Also, much like your average Slashdot poster, they hate any change and pine for the halcyon days that never actually existed.

I'm guessing you're the type of pedant that never "promises" anything?

Differences? Between races?? That's racist! You bigot!!!

Any other job and you'd be fired soon enough.

It's easy to turn off a completely unrelated feature? Thanks for the tip!
I don't want Clippy 2.0 on my PC and I certainly don't want it on my phone.
Android > Google Now/Assistant
iPhone > Siri.
So what phone do you use?
Obivously this is EEE!!
Everything Microsoft does is evil, even when they do the things we chastised them for not doing before!
Stupid company, I can't believe they made X instead of Y.

Its clamshell design is a bane; the Gameboy Advance was the best Gameboy, except the SP had a better D-pad.
