GM has been notorious for decades for not having very many different keys. In the 1970's, my dad managed to amass a collection of a dozen or so keys for various GM cars. If someone locked her keys in the car, he had ~85% chance of opening the door.
No, not planned obsolescence. OP bought a Umax (or was it one of the others) Mac clone. Apple got a pittance from his purchase, and he expects support from them in perpetuity.
You bought a competitor's product. They changed business models (reverted, actually). Why should they continue to care about someone from whom they got pissall money from?
I liked Summer Glau's portrayal of a sensitive damaged girl with subconsciously trained fighting or psychic abilities that would kick in at random times. I also liked Sarah Conner Chronicles because I liked watching her as a terminator.
No more shovelware. No more locked down shit. No more proprietary music/video sources.
The irony is that they replaced it with their own brand of lockdowns. While I generally prefer the hiding of the file-system from the user, I can't stress enough what a PITA it is to get files from and to iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch.
In addition, iTunes is the shovelware locked down shit that comes with owning an iThingy....
YMMV. Ran it just fine for years on Windows XP, and have ran it fine for years on various versions of OSX.
And at the end of the day, I've been MUCH happier with Apple's 'lockdowns' than with those of Verizon.
Good thing the Pilgrims were the only people to settle in North America. Oh, wait, no they weren't. Maryland was founded to let Jews and Catholics do their own thing without catching a bunch of shit from Protestants.
A more accurate (thought still inaccurate) rewording of your last sentence would be "In fact, oppressive religion, as an option, at the state level, was part of the design."
He didn't say 'lost', he says 'trapped'. I understand that your Class A license gives you certain 'leet skills, but apparently, reading comprehension is not among them. What he means is perhaps he had to spend a few days/weeks/months somewhere in OR that lacked even a 2G signal.
Further, if you've actually used that atlas, you know that there are plenty of small roads that aren't covered by it. Roads that are... wait for it... too small for commercial vehicles.
I am an Apple fanboi, and I just gotta say you aren't quite accurate. Blackberry and some versions of WinMo had app stores prior to Apple's. OP was correct that Apple didn't do anything totally new, it did everything 'better'. And by 'better', I mean for most normal human beings, not slashdot troglodytes.
One thing Apple did with the iPhone that my brother often mentions, but never comes up here: broke the backs of the carriers. No more shovelware. No more locked down shit. No more proprietary music/video sources.
That is an interesting claim, but what facts do you base it on, trollface?
Because you most likely paid an early disconnect fee to get a different phone than your iPhone 4? It's not proof, but it's certainly a thumb on the scale.
And most Americans aren't good authors. I suspect the overwhelming majority of those that think they are going to be the next Stephen King write utter garbage.
Isn't that a requirement to meet that goal?
(I keed, I keed. I have every hardcover he's done since IT with the exception of the Gunslinger series. And haven't yet picked up his most recent.)
Being an ex-British colony, they seem to have, for some odd reason, really incorporated the British love of bureaucracy into their culture and taken it to a whole new level.
Yeah. I can't see the appeal in a product you can take anywhere, use for 10 hours, and provides quick and ready access to the internet and multimedia resources, and has a powerful enough processor to play many kinds of games
If that were the appeal, don't you think the vastly more powerful Android devices, that support Flash, have more appropriate screens for multimedia, have better storage, and much more powerful CPUs, and are lower cost to boot, would be kicking the iPad's ass?
Because none of those make the device do more or do it easier. You are not the market. The vast majority of people have different needs in a computer than you do.
And those tablets end up going into a drawer after a few weeks and that's it.
It's far more likely that one spouse is slutting about than contracting HIV through rape or blood transfer. While it is NOT a disease caused by poor moral behaviour, it's disingenuous to suggest that poor moral behaviour doesn't increase the chances of exposure.
No, it means you have successfully applied the double standard that men cannot be sluts. Your m-w.com copypasta is a bit behind the times, as well as gender discriminatory. Sorry you have such a closed mind.
Showing me that now 20 years later that hot girl I was lusting after is now a hag, and I dodged the bullet with the girlfriends I had, Two of them I though were nuts, were in fact, completely nuts. the other two turned into bull dykes later in life.
Dude, all chick are crazy, you just have to find one who's craziness doesn't set yours off.
I think they call that love, but i'm not sure.
Love, co-dependence, whatever. It's all about the same when the restraining order gets issued.

You kiss your mom with that mouth? If so, I'm gonna have to stop kissing her after I fuck her.

But unless you have some stats, it's nothing more than opinion, and I certainly don't believe your opinion.
Pot, meet kettle...
Don't buy anything, and just read a damned book. Go outside. The world existed before game consoles. It will exist after them.

Yay, another internet lawyer offers some pro bono advice.

TL;DR: Summer Glau == fap fap fap fap
was the iPhone not the first with capacitative multi-touch?
No idea. I think yours is the first mention of it in this thread. That may be a genuine first if true.
Hit someone over the head with the large print Rand McNally I used while driving, and you'd likely wind up getting charged with homicide.
No more shovelware. No more locked down shit. No more proprietary music/video sources.

So, did he kill it by bunga-bunga?
I'd be impressed if he killed it by snu-snu.
To be fair, though, that Meathead guy is more than a bit of a douche.

I'm not the OP, so I'm just guessing.

We have a local clothier with the motto, "an informed consumer is our best customer."
Not any longer.

It mixes well with their passive aggression.
