Islamophobia really has progressed far, hasn't it?
It has, but we've got to keep pushing. One day, all superstitions will be equally mocked and their followers shunned. Until then, all we can do is spread the word.
I've been using the same sm-n9005 since its release, and while I have no desperate need to upgrade, I would be willing if an appropriate replacement were available.
That is, in fact, simply a list of the features of my current device, which came out at the end of 2013! There is currently nothing else on the market I can buy to replace it with, without sacrificing something. Manufacturers: please release a real flagship phone so I can buy it!
I'm a cyclist and want cars banned because they produce carbon dioxide, carcinogens, and rapid acceleration of my body when they hit me.
I'm sorry - why should I have to put up with you driving? It's offensive and serves me not. The world is all about me, and if I don't want to breath your tailpipe fumes, I shouldn't have to.
Tell me why you should get your way, but I shouldn't get mine.
An off-the-shelf xbox controller is not marine-grade. Its components will corrode. There is no sensor validation or redundancy. It uses a cheap plastic housing that will crack if impacted.
It does not make sense to potentially entrust the lives of hundreds on a cheap plastic toy controller. There's simply too much at stake.
Perhaps some parts of the controller will be included in the military-designed final product, but literally buying a COTS controller and integrating it aboard? Bullshit.
Can we please tax the living shit out of devices with planned obsolescence / glued in batteries? It's incredibly wasteful and the cost should reflect that fact.
Are you people retarded? Why would you glue the battery into the phone after Samsung's Note 7 debacle?
You do realize one of the only reasons to buy an LG phone over a Samsung phone is the longevity promised by a device without a battery that's been glued in, right?
If no: let's talk. I need a new phone. I still have a Note 3.
If yes: I hope Samsung is forced into another recally due to battery issues (as long as no one is hurt), and I hope the stock price suffers dearly. No money for you.
By definition (confirmed by observation), taxes disincentivize activity. In an age where cyclists are literally saving the planet, a tax on them, discouraging their use, is patently absurd.
I think this is the point that is lost on many people. The phrase "if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear" is patently obvious. The problem is that some people do have something to hide, and therein lies the problem with anti-privacy laws.
One might well say that she can do all this and just not get the diploma if it's so important to her.
Anyone saying that would be a capital A asshole. A straight-A student has earned her graduation certificate. That her future plans didn't align with those encouraged by the state isn't relevant.
We have to make sure that batteries are no longer glued into a product, but are screwed in so that we do not have to throw away a phone when the battery breaks down.
Excuse me...... something in my eye.
Seriously my fingers are sore from typing almost this exact sentence over and over again. It's good to see someone of influence actually cares.
Why does their gender matter? Quit being so sexist.
Have you been living in a basement for the past 10 years?
It matters because girls in much of Afghanistan are systematically repressed and mistreated, denied education, equal rights and privileges, etc. That an all girls team from Afghanistan is excelling in robotics is very relevant to this story.
It seems to me this one has a very simple solution.
Offer a significant tax incentive to exchange or refit your two-stroke or older four-stroke scooter/motorcycle to electric.
Electric scooters are awesome. They're reliable, cheap, and in some cases, less polluting than simply walking to your destination (assuming a Western diet, anyway).
I'm not sure what's possessed our supreme court on this one. This is a clear violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Hopefully our government will correct the decision through legislation.

... for a modern update of the Note 3.
I've been using the same sm-n9005 since its release, and while I have no desperate need to upgrade, I would be willing if an appropriate replacement were available.
An appropriate replacement has:
- A user-replaceable, removable battery
- Unlocked bootloader
- Expandable storage
- Amoled screen
- Temperature, barometric pressure, and humidity sensors
- Full IMU, GPS
- 4-6gb RAM
- Unlocked bootloader
That is, in fact, simply a list of the features of my current device, which came out at the end of 2013! There is currently nothing else on the market I can buy to replace it with, without sacrificing something. Manufacturers: please release a real flagship phone so I can buy it!
Honest question. Are you retarded?
Please don't take offense; knowing whether or not you're retarded will help us address your response in a way that will best benefit you.

I'm calling bullshit on this one.

Something's up with that. I would suspect that 99.9995% of US dryers vent to open air.

No sale for you. :(
Is the battery glued into the phone?
If no: let's talk. I need a new phone. I still have a Note 3.
If yes: I hope Samsung is forced into another recally due to battery issues (as long as no one is hurt), and I hope the stock price suffers dearly. No money for you.
If it's important to you .. buy an Android device?

Fuck those assholes.
Can someone explain to me why teenager seeking porn should be prevented from finding it?
And of course people have something to hide

.. consider what grotesque plans they must have in store to recoup those costs, shoudl they win the day.
Seriously? Accepting an article linking network neutrality to piracy? Fuck off, /.
Jesus christ.
It's 2017. Can we please get over this negative attitude towards sex?
Let me guess. The battery is glued into the phone.
This will undoubtedly end up in a supreme court challenge, to the taxpayers' great expense. Bravo.

(I know we agree .. just saying)
Does "I plan to travel the world for three years, scrounging to survive, before settling somewhere and seeking employment" count as a life plan?
How about "I'd like to keep my options open; no plan as of yet?"

Well, now it's just routine. :p
