Tablet sales have nowhere to go but up and PC sales have nowhere to go but down. PCs have been on the market for 30 years. Tablets didn't exist in any real form until only a few years ago.
Exactly what do you think all that implies except that tablets ARE replacing PCs for many uses?
Reading. Light note-taking. The occasional e-mail. Fine. Doing real work over a period of hours, days or weeks? Not a fucking chance.
So apparently you agree with me - a tablet is a type of PC.
So apparently you agree with me - PCs aren't replacing themselves. Enough with the fucking hype.
It will never replace your desktop machine unless you turn it into a PC by attaching a keyboard, mouse and monitor and a real OS.
The PC is the correct form and design for the human body. That's why it has been a success for 30 years. People do not want to do real work on a tiny screen.
The current crop of assholes who learned science from comic books and Mythbusters are no different than fundamentalist Christians.
They know nothing about science, having never studied it, but whatever they say in the name of "science" is considered unassailable truth by the brethren.
How does monogamy change who is in competition with whom? There is no evolutionary mechanism to enforce monogamy. From a purely genetic standpoint there is no benefit to monogamy for a strong male.
Articles like this are just freeze dried beef pasta boiled up in 100 gallon vats and thrown to the neckbeards who gobble it up while slathering vaseline and yanking each other off.
Shit isn't even pretending to be science any more. It's just some asshole in a lab coat leading a revivial in a Kentucky tent.
Humans are not brought into heat by the absence of young, and killing offspring is directly opposed to the core of evolutionary theory, which rewards the widest possible range of mates to guarantee diverse genetic combinations and the maximum chances for survival and spread of strong genes.
It's getting to the point where all you have to do is add "evolved" as the verb in any half-assed guess, and the neckbeards shout "amen!"
Emacs is the most powerful software application ever written. It has a steep learning curve but once you know it, you are a Jedi who has constructed their own lightsaber.
Suddenly! In 2013! At the height of public controversy over genetically modified food, the entire orange crop is affected by an incurable disease that can only be cured by genetic modification!
Aside from the fact that the incurable disease was cured, does anyone recognize pure bullshit any more?

Crying butthurt FUD
Butthurt.
Oh, it can be replaced?
Fair enough.
Replace it then.
Commence the Butthurt!

For fuck's sake will you people stop humping the "tablets are going to replace PCs" inflatable doll?
Plus it's no big deal to dock a tablet/laptop if you need better monitor options.
Which makes it a PC. Stop humping the balloon.

Tablets are not going to replace PCs.
Someone build a good reader site, charge $5 a month for it and use the money to hire people to maintain it.
If you want a good product, pay for it you fucking cheapskates.
Impossible to fix it. Private business will loot the treasury until there's nothing left. Everyone's paid off. The fix is in.
Watch the Bumpus Hounds scene from A Christmas Story when they eat the turkey. That's America's future.
Americans are too fucking stupid to fix it.
The current crop of assholes who learned science from comic books and Mythbusters are no different than fundamentalist Christians.
They know nothing about science, having never studied it, but whatever they say in the name of "science" is considered unassailable truth by the brethren.
And they are just as wrong.
One guy (neckbeard wafting in the breeze from the battery powered fan next to his action figures) thought you were funny.
It's gotten to the point where the word "neckbeard" generates a firehose of butthurt.
Fucking crybabies.

What a fragrant load.

Science is a fucking religion.
I've been using Emacs daily for 7 years. It has never crashed once.
You're full of shit.
How about "dumbfuck comments on text editor with dumb fucking dumbfuckery?"
The sound of a wiseass unemployed 19 year old "programmer" who does not understand the Tao.
Make a payroll, son. Then come back and lecture us.
Emacs is the most powerful software application ever written. It has a steep learning curve but once you know it, you are a Jedi who has constructed their own lightsaber.
The longer you use it, the more powerful it gets.
It hasn't been covered much, considering it threatens the survival of a double-digit percentage of our food supply.
Yes. Human art requires an artist.
For people like you, science is religion. Anything that is done in the name of "science" is automatically good for everyone.
See the history of the last 1000 years for why "anything done in the name of _____ is automatically good" is a bad idea.
Wow, that's fascinating. You know what's even more fascinating? That this happened eight years ago and I've never heard of it before.
I read international news every fucking day.
So the little insects flew all the way across the Pacific Ocean?
You know we used to think we would never get rid of the crickets in our store. They were "incurable" too.
Until we turned a half-dozen tree lizards loose.
Not another chirp. Ever.
