My own reason - and likely others will have others - is that my first-gen iPod Nano has physical buttons. I don't have to pull it out of my pocket, turn on the screen, unlock it, and have to look at it to see where to push.
When my first iPod Nano died I found out Apple had done a recall on them years ago due to a potential battery issue and were still offering replacements. I got a seventh generation as a replacement - touch interface, only two physical buttons - sold it, and bought a second-hand first gen with the money.
So there you go. Just because you can't imagine a reason doesn't mean there isn't one for some people.
What are you talking about? How have I been an apologist for Walmart?
AC's post is pointless and irrelevant regardless of what I think about Walmart/Asda - which is, not that it matters, basically nothing, since I have neither anywhere near me.
What I love is how in every shot I've seen of him either walking to or from a helicopter, he claps his hands together as if his (not very) inner toddler is going "Yaaay, hewicoptah!"
Slashdot Mirror
"Mathematics" is singular.
And it shortens to "maths."
You don't fool me. You just copy-pasted that from the listing for White House Communications Director.
I'll take the job. If the Earth gets visited by aliens any time before I retire, I'll give all the money back. Deal?
For using "math" in singular form. Quite right.
a Mockery of Democracy
A Demockery?
The difference is that Trump lets it all hang out for everyone to see.
At least if Reagan had done that, we wouldn't have to squint.
Like putting too much air into a balloon!
TFA that the submitter linked to is a junk article
It was the "barcode of a person's voice" gem which gave it away, for me.
whether the caller really is on a boat or actually in a house somewhere
I live on a houseboat, you insensitive clod!
I didn't like which way the curves went on the second gens, so it was always downhill for me.

Keyboard tracking?

Well, you get the idea with that.
As much as you need to. You are not me, nor are you anyone else.
Because they do the same thing better.

Why would I... I don't shop there... I don't use their physical store, why would I use their online store? ASDA are at the very bottom of the list.
Well, good for you, I guess. But why should any of us care what you do? It has no relevance to the story.
Maybe you hadn't realised, but Slashdot wasn't created solely for your consumption.
Not Made in America, Wal-Mart Looks Overseas For Online Vendors
What, Wal-Mart's not made in America?
Comma should have been a colon. Someone needs to go to headline-writing school.

How is that "funny"? They're not all falling out of the sky.
Good for you, champ.
When is mapping Kuiper Belt objects going to be useful information?
This just goes to show that there aren't enough orbital telescopes, in enough different orbits.
Why? Because a few people had to lug a few boxes to Patagonia? I think that was probably a lot cheaper than putting a telescope in orbit.
Yeah, but that schematic also had the dish on the equatorial trench. Fake news!
Disagree
Are you saying you disagree, or telling me to disagree?
If you're able to work out that it needs a "that," then you don't really need the "that."
How is it a period issue? Someone, somewhere, is putting in the wrong email address, periods notwithstanding, surely?
