At the moment I have to manually search "in:inbox is:unread" - -which is really frustrating.
Just searching for unread mails is of no use to me, as I subscribe to several mailing lists and have that stuff filtered to its own label before I read it.
I only want to see unread emails in my inbox easily and conveniently (without having to rearrange my inbox and have all unread emails at the top), yet I can't do this simple thing. Why is such a basic feature of every email client not available in Gmail?
So you have no interest in seeing Europe or Asia, because you can't drive there. It's a shame you impose such a limitation on yourself.
You are right that driving has many advantages over flying, but to rule out flying when it also has advantages, especially when the disadvantages are not as crazy as you make them seem....it's a shame. You're missing out on a lot and you don't even realize.
This may be hard for you to understand and may even seem contrary, but that use of literally is correct. Literally has been used as an intensifier since at least the 16th century.
It's my experience that the general user interface is significantly more responsive, so it makes for a much nicer user experience. I've noticed this on the Galaxy Nexus compared against the Nexus 4. I own the former, and noticed a much more fluid experience on the latter. Both had the same versions of Android. Not to mention gpu intensive games such as racing games can get a huge boost in looking pretty.
It's not a meme that phones are more expensive. A lot of people opt for prepaid options so as not to be screwed over, in which case the price of the phone when buying outright is relevant. Also, it's a stretch to say using fangirl and twat as insults in misogyny.
It doesn't matter his affiliation or if he likes or even works for MS or not. Judge the statement on it's own, and it's true.
It's something Linux geeks have trouble admitting, but it is the sole reason Linux usage has not skyrocketed in adoption. If the LSB worked anthing close to how it was envisioned, developers would flock to the platform and then so would users.
At the moment, people use the distro they like and defend, while non linux geeks use distros like Ubuntu or Mint, which are the only platforms commercial developers tend to target.
Oh Please. Gentoo is for children fascinated by the freedom and possibility of compiling everything where there is no need. Adults use Slackware or Arch.
You know well enough that doesn't mean there are no handguns in the UK.
I'm surprised that that adds up to 6.72 per 100. It must be a few people with large collections. I'd be very surprised to find that there aren't more people that own guns in Egypt. And the type of guns
The statistics show that in fact, the UK has more guns per 100 people than Egypt does. I've lived in both Egypt and the UK for decent periods of time, and have no reason to doubt those figures.
Flawed? Just because there's multiple variable, doesn't mean gun ownership isn't one of the main ones. I will continue pointing out the irrationality of American gun politics.
It's flawed because your main argument seems to be that more guns equates to more homicides. That thinking is certainly flawed. A cursory glance at homicde rates and number of guns in countries shows that. As do many studies.
It's fine to talk about the irrationality of gun control in the US, there are many points to attack. No need to incorrectly reduce a complex topic to more guns means more homicides, which is pretty far from the truth.
Your argument falls apart. More guns does not equate to more homicides. It may be a factor, but it is hard to say to what extent. Using the wiki list for intentional homicides per country we can see that Egypt is at 1.2 as is the UK.
We can see here Egypt has 3.52 firearms per 100 people, while the United Kingdom has 6.72 firearms per 100 people.
More interestingly, Canada is 23.82 firearms per 100 people with an intentional homicide rate of 1.6, while Luxembourg is 15.32 firearms per 100 people with an intentional homicide rate of 2.5.
If you hadn't realized your methodology was flawed, you do now. Please stop spreading nonsense.
I'm not American, in case you might of thought that. It seems likely, given your irrational hatred and namecalling from the get go.
Out of curiosity, can you actually provide any actual argument for why the USian is an improvement? Or do you lack an argument, and only have insults and namecalling in your arsenal?
If you can bother to act mature and actually have an argument, I'd like to hear it. If not, it appears I've wasted time with a kid on the internet, yet again.
Sorry, but you're the idiot. USIan is by no means in common usage. It's used by idiots like you who try to solve a problem that doesn't exist. American means somebody from the USA in most contexts, since it is the only country on both continents that has the word 'America' in it's name.
Can you really not grasp that simple fact? Or maybe you can and just want to be different.
American means people from the USA. Deal with it, idiot.
Oddly enough, it was your idiot use of USian that made you lose some credibility. Please don't use made up words that cause more problems than they solve.
Isn't this just about the market? Australia has a very strong economy, very high minimum wage rates, average salary is 50k I think....those prices are what the market is willing to pay.
Seeing your idiotic past posts and now seeing that you are unabashedly an Apple fanboi, things make a lot of sense. I mean, you made a post just to troll, which if you know anything about Android you know is factually incorrect. How old are you, 12?
SIlly goose. Your economic engine caused a global recession and need government bailouts and your education system bans the teaching of evolution. Your constitution has not been solid since the patriot act, if not before.
I'd appreciate it if you could enlighten me. My understanding is that groups of scientists argue for either side, albeit with a majority on the it's happening side.
There are accusations of incomplete data, data not going back far enough and flawed models that have changed numerous times. What makes the science solid?

Perhaps this redesign will account for that.
Your post was fine until you made the American comment, which shows you as kind of douchey.
The OP could be from anywhere...the post implies nothing about his nationality.
Why would a 64 bit program be slower when modern processes are optimized for 64bit programs?
Slashdot is only an American site in that it is owned and operated in the US. The topics of the stories and it's userbase are international. Idiot.
So you have no interest in seeing Europe or Asia, because you can't drive there. It's a shame you impose such a limitation on yourself.

Late to the discussion, but health benefits. It is still an area of debate, but the supposed health benefits mean the benefits outweigh the cost, imo.

In the UK, all handguns are banned.

What has this got to do with the government?
Well, no, because 100KM is only 62 miles

Virgin would be fantastic if I didn't have to use one of their phones. Since I can't use my galaxy nexus, T-mobiles $30/month is pretty darn nice.
Why not? They can have legal standing in the EU without needing to worry about a specific troublesome country.
I'm not sure if Valve has a German presence. If they don't, German laws or rulings don't really affect them.
Yes. The science is VERY solid on this point.

Why should I not still be on the fence?
