"I could care less" is an idiom that means "I couldn't care less". Yes, it's an abuse of language, but it's too damn late and one of thousands of such abuses. And, if you haven't noticed, the English language doesn't have a particularly consistent set of rules anyway. You prescriptive moron.
And this, even more than the price and the too-extreme simplicity of their products, or the sycophants, is why I'll never buy an Apple product (assuming things don't change). The lengths they go to to harm their own customers is amazing. Relevant: http://www.seattlerex.com/seattle-rex-vs-apple-the-verdict-is-in/
You never "know". If you're ignorant of your chances or just not striving for success then the question would not be asked, you'd have sold out already.
...unless you know your product won't/can't become and isn't worth more than they're paying. 5 million now is not as good as 500 million later; interest rates are low (lol). Possible exceptions are when you just want to get out, or need cash now in order to start a bigger and better venture.
That's like saying you can't type English because a keyboard only has a few dozen keys and there are potentially many more words you want to type. Buttons can be used in simple combination (think letters in words) such as UP, DOWN, CONFIRM rather than assigning a button to every candidate. That's absurd.
Common on most keyboards (though the keys are technically backspace). The convention may suck but messing with people's typing habits will probably generate more errors, and certainly more complaints.
How exactly is that not a problem with a touchscreen? Even if it had infinite pixel density, people have fingers. In fact you can reliably press physical buttons much smaller than touchscreen buttons.
He may be conflating desktops/laptops with all other electronic devices that do user-directed general computation (e.g., tablets and smartphones but not TVs). Generalizing the word "computer" to that degree in a non-scientific context is not helpful....
Heh somebody calls out Canadians for allowing US citizens to refer to their country as America? That's a new one. If you can't get over the fact that the US co-opted the name of the continents, which you really should since it's said and done and everyone understands what's meant when someone says "Americans", then at least focus on the source of the problem (hint: it's not Canada).
Apart from the fact that I'm not sure we wanted demented/senile people voting, how exactly would you expect such a person to handle a good ol' paper ballot with 150 names on it?
And even paper ballots were "new" once. Things evolve and people adapt, too bad so sad if somebody can't figure out how to type a number. You realize there are people at the polls to help give instructions as well, right?
The point is that both are illegal, and the difference in potential outcome doesn't make one of them legal. Obviously different things are different; congratulations, Captain.
As we know from recent experience, Hydrogen is flammable, and something flammable, even explosive, can NEVER replace Gasoline, which is safe and has never burned anybody.
Surely they realize the futility of their methods, and we can go back to our safe and harmless internal combustion engines?
I don't think laws are based on "odds". It's like saying it's OK to stab someone in the foot but not in the neck, since the former is less likely to kill them!

Only 6 and a half years late on that joke.
Ease of use.

Killing people with various forms of armaments is required by their Constitution. Or something like that.

People would definitely fuck up the calibration.

You're acting like there's a problem with out of touch 95 year olds not voting.

Great reading comprehension.
Proof?
Reading isn't interactive. You have to contribute to the problem for it to be interactive :P

Actually you usually end up a block behind where you wanted to be, given that 270 degree turns on a dime are rarely made.
