You are basically saying that you would rather not be able to pick up the device powering your CAD station and put it in your pocket.
I suppose that might be the case, but there isn't really any reason to not do it, once a powerful enough device is pocket-able.
It almost seems you didn't read the part of my post about the device interacting with screens and other peripherals (both of your examples act like that could never ever happen), but I don't know how that could be the case, that's what my entire post was about.
We aren't that far from crazy Tony Stark phones that can wirelessly interact with any screen that is in the room while being plenty fast for 95% of computing tasks (and the ability to offload the rest to some other computer).
'Normal' people have already moved to laptops, if it were easy and seamless to have a phone that, when placed on a desk, took over the screen, keyboard and mouse on that desk, plenty of people would be switching right over. You could even have a laptop shaped peripheral that provided your phone with a screen, keyboard and touchpad.
There are issues with things like storage capacity, but that can be accessed from a widget you plug into the wall at your house or whatever, and those issues get less frustrating on a rather aggressive schedule.
They changed the name of a pref from 'Use Classic' to 'Dynamic Discussion', defaulted it to 'yes' and made it so that it can only be accessed (as far as I have found) from the prefs that pop up with the button on the bottom of the comments pages.
There is room to shake things around because it discusses households rather than individuals, but I'm not sure that is really going to overwhelmingly favor the rich.
Also, even though the top fifth pay lower rates of social insurance taxes, they still end up accounting for 44% of the total payments there (I would guess because there is no income cutoff on Medicare).
Now, I don't really feel bad for the rich over the taxes they pay, and I think the arguments that a few percent here or there will make people earning millions work less are a little hilarious (perhaps it has some effect on the margins, but I doubt that the amount of productivity destroyed comes anywhere near matching the taxes collected), but I don't see how you can possibly argue that they aren't paying higher income taxes than other people.
Click the prefs button on the bottom left of the comments page. Unclick the 'Dynamic Discussions' and then click save.
That seems to be the only way to access that pref, and it is sort of fun that they went ahead and created a new pref, rather than continuing to respect the 'Enable classic comments' pref.
You should just go ahead and blame the last 25 years of administrations and congresses, not having a program to replace the shuttle isn't just a failure of the last 3 years.
There needs to be a better description than "the entire US Economy would cease to exist overnight"; I mean, I get all my pay in dollars, but if people stopped accepting them as trade, I would at least try to barter, for both goods and services.
I guess that would be unpleasant if there was no electricity coming out of the wall (but maybe the people that were previously employed working for the coal and shipping and power companies would see the value of working under martial law).

No no, I get that you are making an argument about the people fighting for cracker choosing the wrong battle, I just don't get how your reply pertains to my post (unless you are complaining that the word 'hacker' is headed towards the same status as the ones you threw around).
Sure, I should have avoided using specific examples and just stated that platform fragmentation doesn't necessarily say much about whether it is worth developing for a specific model of phone.
The ROI isn't that simple, if there are 50 million IOS platform devices and 2 Android versions that combine to cover 200 million devices, the ROI could be better on the Android side, even if there are 6 million other Android versions that you have to merrily ignore.
T-Mobile is $0.10 a minute if you buy a $100 card and it doesn't expire for a year. The $0.10 a minute is the only charge.
Virgin Mobile has a 300 minute plan for $25 a month that includes unmetered texts and web (but the phones are a bit limited). $40 a month bumps that up to 1200 minutes.
T-Mobile has good coverage but won't activate a phone in an area where they are paying for roaming, and Virgin Mobile only works on Sprinted owned towers, but the coverage is a much bigger problem than the pricing these days.
Sprint also offers Boost mobile with unlimited everything for $50 a month, but that is mostly on the old Nextel network.

In 1996 Tom Clancy wrote some fiction about an angry pilot flying a 747 into the Capital building during the State of the Union.
He needed to get Jack Ryan into the presidency without being any more preposterous than usual.

On Windows, sure, on Linux, not so much:

When Google switched Gmail over to HTTPS all the time for everything, they found it accounted for 1% of CPU load:

So Facebook probably wouldn't need to do much more than get their software set right.

(I don't see any other way to access the Dynamic Discussion pref)
So could you do me a favor and explain why these tables do not contradict your statement?

It pushed any problems a month into the future.
It says right in the summary that they trucked it in using helicopters.
That's a little different than most material deliveries.

Are you sure it is the recipients that are falling for the trickery?
I don't have anything to back it up, but I think the people purchasing spamming services are now the ones driving much of it.
I do not follow.
It's bizarre that you would highlight the malleability and flexibility of English while complaining about a word changing meaning.
Good thing patents have a limited term, huh?
Did your $20 plan provide a nationwide network and long distance?
Did she have a manly voice and eat her toenails in public?

The graph shows the value of a current unit factoring in the splits.
(So if you wanted the nominal trading price for the stock prior to a split, you would indeed have to do some multiplication)
I wouldn't worry about it too much, at some point your Fantastic Lad went off the deep end and found his navel.
