Isn't this the same firm that was declaring the PC market dead about 6 months ago. It is like the 7th day Adventists, if you predict the death of something every other week, and growth the weeks in between, eventually one or the other will happen.
Oh come on. "Global PC shipments grew 1.4% in Q2 2018, first increase in 6 years" - same time last year sales fell 4.3%. In 2011, Q2 saw sales of
83.3 million, this year it was 62.1 - a drop of 25.5% despite that huge growth you so loudly cheer now. The PC market is at best undead.
As a computer user, I think a lot of it is JavaScript too.
It used to be "I just need a computer for browsing the web and word processing", now browsing the web is by far the heaviest demand out on my computer (work one even).
I do simple layout, photo editing, prepress, the creative suite is lighter for this type of work than many websites that are just for faffing about.
Jesus Christ, have you forgotten about Flash already? That was far worse.
Which is the 30% false-positive rate that I pointed out.
In other words, there is *no* singular brand/product choice to indicate wealth very well, but of those product/brand choices, the iPhone comes the *closest* to such a mythical thing. Still not to be used by itself, but as a weighted factor among other pieces of data, if you really need to care that much.
Well, also ask about another item (not obviously correlated) on the list(s), like "Do you also use dishwasher detergent". Another 30% false-positive rate, for a total of ~10%.
I have no Earthly idea why Merkel and the rest of the EU is so hell-bent on getting more refugees.
It's all part of the Kalergi plan. Look it up: the man was a european diplomat who dreamed about a unified europe, with its white, culturally strong population
So far. so good...
replaced by a race of coffee-colored mongrels (his word) who lacked a cultural history and would be easy to manipulate. In other words, it is all about power.
Not replaced by, but ruling over the non-whites in combined colonies of Europe (back when that was still a thing). So yes, about power - but in the way you like it.
Yes, he predicted that the human of the far future would be a "mongrel", but he did not particularly like that idea, let alone plan it to rule in that far future.

As far as I know, every state requires US citizenship in order to vote.
But can do nothing to verify that the person casting that ballot is a US citizen. Trying to require something as simple as ID is labelled as "racism" and results in lawsuits.
Yes. If you only ask it from non-whites, you fucking racist numb-nut.
There was a time that I would have agreed with you that "a lot" of people are in prison for non-violent drug charges. Assuming I agree with that premise I still see a problem. These people in prison had to know the drugs they possessed were illegal, and by possessing them they run the risk of imprisonment if caught. Perhaps they should have considered voting for people to legalize these drugs BEFORE they went about using or dealing them.
Maybe they did? Maybe they took or grew a drug that was legal in their state and still were arrested? Maybe even because they had a loaded gun in the same room as their hash stash?
Except it is. There is 1 molecule of CO2 for every 2500 molecules of air at the current 400ppm concentration, and yet we're supposed to accept this one molecule has the heat radiating ability to raise the temperature of 2499 other molecules by 1 degree Celsius, even though CO2 on absorbs less than 11% of reflected IR? If CO2 can produce that amount of heat we should be using it to power our cities.
Take one molecule of Arsenic for every 2500 molecules in your body. You should be fine.
Oh please. If a place has had reliable weather measuring equipment for just over eighty years and it took almost sixty years to hit a new high, that's evidence of cooling. That's basic statistics.
So when did you hear of the last time there was a streak of all-time low temperature records? You obviously have no idea how statistics work.
The EPA isn't a separate branch of government. It's part of the executive branch . The EPA administrator should be loyal to the President doofus.
Well, he should follow his oath of office. And that says they will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Not to defend the President against the constitution, but the Constitution against the President. Period.
So no, he should not be loyal to President Doofus.
Yeah, but the new bozo is from the coal industry. Musical chairs, nothing will change...well, the environment will get worse because of these two clowns.
Ahh, but he's a Washington insider who knows how to keep his deeds unnoticed. Much better for Trump.
GNU/Linux and *BSD repositories contain mostly free software.
And there you have it! Apple fan boys are still the same -- trying to qualify any non-Apple prior art with some arbitrary condition!
So let me get this straight: OS repositories that existed elsewhere (long before the Apple store) don't count because one didn't have to pay for the software? Really?
No, the point is that you couldn't pay for it. Yeah, I know you hate paying for stuff.
Regardless of your feelings about Apple, the world owes it a collective thank you for its App Store. It inspired other companies, such as Google with Android and Microsoft with Windows 8/10, to adopt the same app concepts. It really did change everything.
Uh, there were "apps" (we used to call them programs) on Windows CE, Symbian, and Blackberry well before 2008.
Oh yeah. I remember apps for Windows CE. I once drove (literally) to an App Store where my dad bought an Windows CE app. He had to specify which CPU and display orientation his device had, and then they handed him a box with a storage card inside, and he paid over a hundred bucks for it. Oh, the good old days.
You're allowed to include Universal Studios or Seaworld in your Orlando vacation, if Disney World doesn't have something you want.+/quote>
And you are allowed to get your apps for iPhones in other ways. You just habe to really want to. The fact that you don't know them doesn't change that.
However, it made me wonder whether this incredible fact distracts everyone involved from the fact that nuclear plants create permanent (for all intents and purposes) poison as a waste by-product
Indeed it does, but we have already had proposals to reduce the waste through reprocessing, but for reasons unknown the American government just hates to do it.
Because they aren't ignoring all the problems that have come up at nuclear reprocessing plants?
The claim on nuclear power being a prime target in war is cute. Have you seen a modern nuclear power plant? Did you notice something? A big concrete dome perhaps? I'm sure if someone dropped a big enough bomb on the dome it would break open but if that's your standard then consider this, how well protected are windmills from an attack in a time of war?
Israel proved you don't even have to hit the dome to destroy a nuclear plant. Bomb the control center and turbines next door, and the best case scenario is a pristine reactor dome that won't produce power for many months and that's with a super fail safe design. Fukushima had less damage and resulted in core melt.
Not only is this revisionist, in that Apple is far from the first device or operating system to have its own app store, its also a terrible thing for users and developers.
Well, unless you can point to you saying the same thing about such a store before the App Store - cool story Bro.
If the megacorp was not there, the 1000 employes would pay ZERO taxes, and probably would be unemployed
We are in a full employment economy. Labor availability is the limiting factor for the growth of many companies. So the megacorp doesn't add jobs, they just shift them from other businesses. So tax paying companies shrink, while the freeloader grows. How is that good for the community?
So why would somebody work for the megacorp if there are "enough" jobs? Must be because megacorp pays better or gives benefits like paid healthcare. So megacorp results in workers having more spendable income. Which is worse for a city how?

Probably funded by iphones zealots that just needed to feel better about themselves.
Yeah, they have been funding this since back in (at least) 1992, to really score it in 2018.

The physics aren't that complicated

You're just mad because you want to see America fail.
This makes me sad because I believe that many Trump supporters actually believe things like this about people who disagree with them.
There *are* people who want to see America fail and are upset Trump is taking a sharp pro-America approach.
Let me asure you: people who hate America love what Trump is doing to it.
>There is no debate that it is man made.
You're a fucking unimformed NUTTER.
WATER VAPOR is the #1 greenhouse gas. Its not man made, its the natural cycle of the climate.
Yes it is. Your conclusions prove that you stopped thinking after you were given that information.
I'm debating so that is provable false. Why were sea levels 10 meters higher than they are now 10,000 years ago.
Uhh, do you have a point? Are you claiming climate scientists don't know?
Oh please. If a place has had reliable weather measuring equipment for just over eighty years and it took almost sixty years to hit a new high, that's evidence of cooling. That's basic statistics.

... and how is that relevant to the invention of OS software repositories?
It's relevant as far as you moved the goalpost. And a little further.
Yes, the leftists pushed him out, with their massive political power in the current Government.
Fucking moron.
Gee, when Alex Jones finds out you called him fucking moron, he'll be even more furious then usual.
Perhaps I'm nieve, but I trust the F-Droid marketplace much more than official Google Play.

You can sequester that by burying them or making protected objects out of them (like tables and chairs).
Only if you do it a couple hundred feet down, and never ever throw away those chairs.
