  1. Net sales from Nokia worldwide (billion euros) :

    2008 : 50.71
    2009 : 40.98
    2010 : 42.45
    2011 : 38.66
    2012 : 30.18
    2013 : 12.71

    Nokia was falling like a rock when Microsoft bought it. Saying Microsoft broke Nokia is a completely dishonest comment.

    I wish I could be like you and control my ejaculation through thought alone. That way, instead of having to watch porn and waste 5 minutes masturbating, I could just think about it and tada! Instant orgasm!

    When I think about all the money I spent, all the time I wasted, and all the shit I had to do simply to have sex... I sincerely envy you.

    The crew is as relevant as the number of chairs. The correct number to use is the number of passengers and only the number of passengers.

  5. 6,780 passengers. Also, a 747 is a tad faster than a cruise ship.

    The fucking article, that you obviously didn't read, say the ship left with 6,780 passengers.

    LOL! Just to put things in context, I spend a lot of time arguing with feminists and social justice warriors. I can assure you I get insulted a lot, and it's far worse than "when someone is overly sensitive, I think of you".

    When someone thinks of killing himself, I believe the word "crumble" is appropriate. Don't you think?

    I'm curious... Do you think I should start to learn Mandarin, Russian or Arabic? Because if we don't stop right now this folly of always catering to the weak, the West will fall.

  10. Some time ago, there was a web site called Slashdot which was about "news for nerds and stuff that matters". I tried to find it, but when I use the address slashdot.org, what I see is a site about "news for feminists and excuses to whine about men". Where is the old site?

    It's true power hungry assholes are generally not good contributors, but neither are people who crumble because someone said something mean on the Internet. Emotional weakness leads to a tendency to avoid confrontation and so a tendency to follow what the group think.

  12. Is this a surprise? on Girls From Progressive Societies Do Better At Math, Study Finds (sciencecodex.com) · · Score: 1

    "Progressive" societies have school systems adapted to girls (based on socialization and cooperation instead of individuality and competition, also based on a passive and quiet environment instead of an active environment). More than that, "progressive" societies will change what is taught and how it is taught in order to make sure girls can succeed.

    For boys, school is now as interesting as romantic comedies are for men. So the result is not surprising.

  13. The idea that "privacy" is a human right is absurd. It's not because you desire something that it becomes a "right".

    And by the way, privacy is used for only one thing : to hide who you really to others in order to not suffer from the consequences of your actions. You call that a "human right"?

  14. So "human rights" trump "parental rights"? OK, but between my "human right" to post on social media a picture I took and the "human right" of someone else to forbid me to post on social media a picture I took, which "human right" trump which?

    Seriously, the concept of "human rights" is now so abused that it has become a farce.

    Are you saying Apple's programmers are now able to create a computer program as complex as an operating system with no bugs and no flaws whatsoever?

    Are Apple's programmers aliens from another planet with superior intelligence? Is this why Apple's new HQ looks like a "spaceship"?

    And what we have is not socialism, but social democracy. The funny thing is the basis of social democracy is capitalism, so any "socialist" (social democrat) who is against capitalism is a plain idiot.

    So what you're saying is that we should cut our emissions so they don't suffer from bad consequences of Global Warming, and they should raise theirs so we can benefit from the good consequences of Global Warming?

    I don't think you understand how climate works.
