Macbooks are pretty expensive, but they also use top quality parts throughout.
Besides the fact that their keyboards had design defects for 2 generations, the same parts always burn out on them over several generations (typically voltage regulators), and they still can't figure out proper thermals with any of their laptops because form over fuction.
This. Whenever I go to a concert in Downtown LA or Hollywood, I just drive down to the Park & Ride and take the subway out. Less hassle and way cheaper.
Also there is no way to get home on public transit at 1am when trying to get home.
Camel had flavored cigarettes well into the mid 2000s. My friend started smoking after I left a tin of Camel Cremas in his car. They had other ones like Dark Chocolate Mint, Izmir Stingers (sweet and sour), High Ball (whiskey flavored), one that was Orange and Chocolate.
They were in some weird line that only came in tins - It was this line
Except that the marketing is aimed at getting new people into that truly filthy and medically self destructive habit.

In this case, cigarettes hardly ever get fruit flavouring, thus smokers can't be accustomed to that, and the argument about helping them drop the habit is pure bullshit.
I actually started smoking originally when the Camel Crema, Izmir Stingers, and other flavored cigarettes were around. I switched to cloves after those were dropped. The thing with flavored e-Cigs is that they they actually taste good and smell good. It was a good alternative to smoking and it made me smell better. Anecdotally, majority of the people who vape at my local shop are all ex smokers. Yeah, there are a few kids chasing the fad, but they are the minority.
Mind if I ask you if you also hold the belief that alcohol should also not come in any flavors (anything from Smirnoff Ice to Schnapps) as well?
Well a friend sent me their new plans for family (unsure about corporate rates) - basically they can throttle you at any time "due to network congestion" unless you pay for high speed data that wont be throttled.
AFAIK, Verizon does not offer any unlimited plans that do not throttle. I could be wrong but it was true when I was looking to switch carriers a year back.
The unfortunate problem is that Verizon is typically the only service you can get reliably out in the boonies, so its not like there was that much choice.
There was this one time I told sprint I was quitting my job at Radio Shack and to change my plan to a stanard, non employee one (the Unlimited everything and $50 store download credit a month for $25 back in 2006) and they kept the plan rolling for a year before I swapped providers due to crappy coverage.
But that doesnt counter all the shit I've had to deal with other carriers.
Well considering the huge amount of fees I pay per year for my cars plus the continuous raising of taxe on gas (in CA), I'd like to thing that road infrastructure is where that money is going... but I think we all know that isnt the case.
Saying this has nothing to do with net neutrality and having the belief that the repeal of NN was one of the worst things for the free internet are not mutually exclusive.
Yeah, but this is written in the wireless contract. NN doesn't do anything to stop that, as this is throttling due to data caps, not what service you are trying to reach. This has been going on for ages that wireless providers sell unlimited plans that have data caps.
If you just want BOTW, look at used Wii U's. I just checked my local CL, and found someone selling their Wii U with BOTW for $120. Probably could get about the same flipping it when you're done playing.
So besides a decent pay raise and a job title change I needed (Tier 2 Help Desk to Systems Administrator), I already knew who my boss was going to be. Very flexible with Telework and days off, gives us comp time off the record (company doesnt recognize it, but he lets us take extra time off or half days should we work late on others), and has the mentality of "As long as I dont hear any complaints about you guys, I do not care what you guys are doing. You're all adults and I trust you to get the work done."
The job has given me a ton of growth that I needed as well. I'm heading up out 2008R2 to 2016 and vSphere 5.5 to 6.5 migration and getting a job title change to vSphere Admin in a few weeks which comes with a 50% pay bump. Not too shabby for being with the company for less than a year so far and my real Sys Admin gig.
Seeing as none of the current generation consoles allow mouse/keyboards, it's pretty hard for you to claim Microsoft is any further behind than anyone else.
Final Fantasy 14 has full keyboard and mouse support for our, so it's not like the PS4 can't do it.

I legit can tell if this is satire or not.

You're holding it wrong
Its called Want To Sell Paradigm. Of course it has bad reviews. Its basically a step below Innitech or Intetrode.

In the meantime we plan to fuck you over good.
You mean fuck everyone over?
It's like i want to side with you, but you posted InfoWars twice.
I believe them. Its a mistake due to the bad PR it caused.

Plans here, notice the little information bubble next to Unlimited Data
Sure looks better than whatever plan the firefighters were on, but still kinda weak compared to other offerings by other companies.
I didnt think it would cover everything, but that little is kinda surprising. I found this PDF about the CA Transportation budget right now and it does have some interesting data on it.

From what I saw, the plan rates they had to change to went from $38/mo to $90/mo. So not $2.

I dont remember anything in Net Neutrality regarding data caps or deceptive advertising practices involving "unlimited" wireless data.

Kinda the same for me. This last time was money and going from Hell Desk to vSphere Admin
Not sure where you're at, but I'm getting 400mbps symmetrical connection for $75/month uncapped in So Cal.
TFA already said they are going to charge extra for 720p streaming.
