  1. Did anyone expect differently? I don't for a minute think that Trump will bring serious manufacturing back to the States, but what the heck do you crazy morons expect from him now? Do you really expect him to build a factory somewhere in the US to manufacture some ornament, and all that in a month or two, just so he can claim he makes stuff in America?

    He never claimed that he would only promote or sell items made in America. He's only claimed he wants to bring back manufacturing. And if anyone believes that the entire range of products made in China will ever be made in the US is an idiot. Trump never claimed it, and he couldn't do it, even if he actually wanted to.

  2. He's a real troll. Not an imposter.

    I only use grammatically incorrect periods. To annoy you.

  4. So Republicans are playing to the rules and Democrats are stupid idealists who think that putting enough of themselves in one place (California) will somehow get them the Presidency.

    Sounds about right.

    Welcome to the 21st fucking century...

    Same as all the previous centuries? Honestly, all those who think the modern (Western) world is so progressive are really just deluding themselves.

  10. 1. I don't particularly want to debate this point into the ground (done so recently) if you're an Apple enthusiast, but for the iOS at least it is worth noting Android and WebOS and Maemo/Meego and Angstrom family distros and even OpenMoko were all the verge of bringing touchscreen awesomeness to phones, and Apple was forced to copy some of their best features moreso than the other way around.

    While Apple has copied features from other sources, as have those other sources copied from others, that sentence is so wrong, it's almost as if you live backwards in time.

    First iPhone: June 2007
    First Android phone: October 2008
    First WebOS phone: June 2009
    First Meego phone: October 2011

    It's also worth noting that, prior to the iPhone release, Android's UI was a BB clone. Google had to completely redo it to match the iPhone.

    I'm guessing you're just a deluded fool.

  11. I guess English isn't your first language. Or you're just as stupid as the idiots I originally replied to. Apple doesn't have to release most of the source they have released, because it's either their code to begin with (e.g. Objective-C runtime), or licensed such that they have no such obligation (e.g. BSD, MIT). Therefore, the vast majority of code they released is code they didn't have to release. That makes them into the "Good" Guys for the sake of this discussion.

    That makes two retarded shit-filled idiots. Apple does not have to release the vast majority of the code that they have. Very little, if any, is released under the GPL.

  13. Apple doesn't use Obamacare for it employees.

    That doesn't make any sense at all. Obamacare is a law. You don't use laws for your employees. That's not even a thing.

  14. *are not rare.

    Silly brain-finger interface.

  15. My wife is highly intolerant, though tests indicate she doesn't have celiac. My daughter does have it. I have a friend whose daughter has it. My sister's father-in-law has it. Celiac and gluten intolerance is not rare.

  16. And property taxes on their campuses.

  17. The ruling is that Ireland did not follow EU tax law, not that Apple didn't follow Irish tax law. If you can't keep this straight, perhaps you should retire from breathing.

  18. Ireland is not claiming Apple has not paid it taxes due. If you have evidence to the contrary, please share.

  19. Ireland denies that it's illegal. They don't deny the deal exists.

  20. ... and that triggers an "investigation" even with an absence of wrongdoing.

    I know what you're trying to say, but generally, an investigation is how you establish that there is an absence of wrongdoing. Or more accurately, establish that there is no evidence of wrongdoing. (Can't prove a negative, etc.)

    Of course, the real story is that Earth science will become the purview of NOAA, freeing up NASA to do what it does best: explore space. NASA will get the satellites to space, but other departments will conduct Earth studies.

    1) If you think NASA's budget is going to be transferred to NOAA, you're far more insane than anyone else under discussion.
    2) The organization is called NASA, not NSA. You might want to learn a little bit about the subject before spouting off. You might stop sounding like quite the idiot.

  22. You should also change their name from National Air and Space Administration to just National Space Administration.

    Better to be a rabid Apple fan than whatever it is you claim to be. In fact, being a turd is better than being whatever it is you are.
