Good luck determining all the windows drivers you need to install when rebuilding a laptop from bare drive and wanting to avoid all the bloatware that the manufacturer wants to put on it. Depending on the model number you may have one chipset, or another, depending on what options you choose for the wireless devices.
The application is crappy and has to remind you EVERY SINGLE TIME you minimise it that it's still running. It's a cash grab and as such is developed by morons. I have to relogin every few boots due to it forgetting it was logged in. Steam has it beat, I don't even realise steam is running until I go to use it. Origin has a splash screen that doesn't minimise on boot, and then when I close that it throws a popup that it's still running. NO SHIT SHERLOCK
As for circles, being able to direct messages at friends, family, the world, is enormously useful. The problem is it means you have to decide on every post who you want to share it with. However, that means you know who every post is going to.
The concepts are what are hard to learn, the syntax is the easy part. So many similar languages may trip you up at time, but if you can work through the syntax differences and keep hacking at it it's not too difficult to learn.
Maybe so, but I for one am able to do things like serve video files to my TiVo, run scripts for this that and the other, and plenty of other stuff you simply can't do with a tablet.
Until downloaded games cost a LOT less than DVD games, that is what I will buy. If I lose the ability to sell something I paid for then I need a discounted purchase price.
No, I guess my point is that we went from installing an application on 27 floppies in which one could be bad and kill the whole process, to installing an application on a single CD. Since DVDs are RO, that's what my comparison is based on
They charge a fee to provide a list of itemised calls on my cellphone bill, that alone shows how little regard they have for being transparent about what they are charging.
Not every state, every jurisdiction. I can name several counties right near me that don't have McDonalds and certainly no starbucks Then there are also towns who certainly don't have either of these.

Whenever I do the same with an HP, everything tends to work, however there is always one or two "unknown device"s in the device manager.

It's no small task at all.
I was wondering the same thing...

Rob or Steve Jobs? Hmmm
I'd love to know how you can find one game a month worth buying. Seems to me only every 3 or 4 months does a game come out that I would want to play.
They don't need a search engine, they have the like button that exists on how many sites outside of facebook? A boatload
Facebook's data mining is more insidious.

The DVDs you get from netflix are. Which seems to be the topic of this entire post.

Floppies only hold 1.44MB of data, compared to 640MB for a CD. It was capacity that killed the floppy. Reliability, too.
Have you seen the lines at redbox units on the weekend? Four and five people deep at out local Kroger, with two redbox vending machines.

Is it age or experience that makes the difference? I am going with the latter.
Assuming it's someone not stuck in 1972 and only knows cobol

Name a single national chain that has a presence in every tax jurisdiction in the country. Go on, I dare ya.

That he doesn't.
The tax code that applies, which in this case is the use tax, obviously.
It doesn't matter if you don't agree with it.
Did you read the article? He isn't.
It's not a donation if you are required to pay it. If the tax code requires you to pay it, then pay it.
