I'd be happy if my company was doing either of those thngs. If companies threw in the towel just because they couldn't make it to number one blah blah blah.
Long day. Couldn't be bothered to complete train of thought.
Then just sell it at $68 for the minimum period - if any suckers buy it then, you've made more profit. Then you mark it down, people think they're getting a bargain, and you still make the profit you wanted.
Because it's far, far easier to prosecute someone (and I think this is a good thing; my original "false" was for the safety aspect, not the legality) for holding a mobile phone while driving than it is to prosecute them for reckless driving. Just as it's easier to prosecute someone for not wearing a seatbelt or driving with a fixed, but essentially arbitrary, amount of alcohol in their blood.
That's why we have laws at all, otherwise we could have just stopped at "don't be a dick."
Pick the best seat in the house, and the screen occupies 36 degrees of your visual field.
The seat you might think is the best is not going to be best for everyone. Some might prefer 45 degrees. Some might prefer 30 degrees.
My point was: people are different and like different things, and that's what annoys me about everyone banging on about what distance everyone should be sitting from their screen. TV stores don't ask for your viewing distance and preferred viewing angle and then provide you with a screen with resolution to match.
There also doesn't seem to be anything about how good the executables the compiler produces are. Y'know, the whole reason for the existence of compilers.

Are you my optician?
Go on... void your warranty. All the cool kids are doing it.

amazon.co.uk seems to think we should.
I wondered what amazon.co.uk were going on about.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a cuttlefish.
No, get whatever size screen you (GP) feel comfortable watching at whatever distance is good for you.
I don't know where this obsession of insisting that there is some magical "correct" viewing distance comes from.
Why not just call it 2160p so we have something easy to compare to?
1080p = ten-eighty-pee = 4 syllables
2160p = twenty-one-sixty-pee = 7 syllables
That's why.
Great, now I can finally watch the HFR version of the Hobb... oh, wait...
The recommended distance for TVs is twice the diagonal
Who says that, and why? I've heard twice, three times, six times...
Twice the diagonal is way too close for comfortable viewing, for me. I don't want to be moving my eyes like a sucker!
The fault isn't the owner's for not locking it, it's the attacker's fault.
Not from the insurance company's point of view.
- People talking on the phone while driving. Totally safe yet illegal.
False.
I am completely competent in my driving abilities.
That could be a dangerous line of thinking.

Comment on summary confusing! Maybe I'm just tired but I can't grasp the meaning of "(stopped reading)"
Hey, are you parodying my sig? :p

If you had to guess what a piece of software called "Docker" did, what would you think?

If you think people who think the BBC is balanced are raving lefties, you're a right-wing lunatic.

Nope, I'm the guy who belittles when others sneer and deliver their opinions as fact.
the fact that these conductive strips is pretty important too
