I wouldn't really call the test challenging (maybe the course, but I never took it). Sat it in 10th grade, and it was the easiest 5 I ever got. This is coming from someone who doesn't use Java that often and only did one practice test before the actual thing.
I've been wanting to buy a 65" OLED display to replace my old 50" plasma TV from 2003 for a few years now, because the color contrast on standard LED displays isn't as good as the latter's. I don't even need it to be 4K; it won't matter at the distance I'm using it. However, all monitors after a certain size seem to be bundled with extraneous UIs that function like their own OS. I just want a big screen with good colors. It shouldn't need software updates or its own remote. The best way to make UIs simpler is to eliminate them. Maybe have some buttons on the side to change inputs, but that should be it.
Will probably buy the SE if my 4S breaks down anytime soon. Nice to have a smaller form factor. Can't say the same about the iPad Pro, though; not a lot of people need a workstation tablet.
The response time is usually slow and makes it harder to work on the move, and testing is also a lot less efficient than what you'd get doing it locally. Besides, I usually avoid using IDEs at all when a properly constructed package and makefile functions with much less clutter.
The fact stands that idiots are harder to run from in person. Note that the magnitude of the effect on your opinion doesn't mean that your opinion always has to be brought closer to the opinion of the person you're discussing it with. Say you have a certain policy on hosts files. Since you probably filter out everything APK posts, he probably has no net effect on that policy. But if you saw APK everyday and he spouted the same drivel he spouts here, you would likely start doing the opposite of what he says.
Yet even a story can hide wisdom in allegory. Knowledge is not limited to certain (or currently accepted) answers to the question "how." Take aesthetics, for example. Since you can't exactly test what the "right" way of doing something is (i.e. derive an "ought" from an "is"), you have to throw around random ideas and refine them through debate, checking for internal consistency, etc. into something that intuitively "feels right." Knowledge of the purely physical should be testable, but you'd have a hard time doing the same for abstract concepts.
Online discussions have made me rethink my deeply-held beliefs, forced me to re-examine my arguments, changed my opinion on several occasions...
You may be a minority there. Internet "debates" rarely end with anything other than one side shutting out the other. In fact, it's the ease with which we can filter out dissenting opinions on all kinds of media (traditional and new) that make them poor catalysts for significant changes in opinion. Face-to-face discussion trumps all else when it comes to magnitude of effect per person.
String theory, or any idea, for that matter, should not have its merit determined solely by how scientific it is. Science is a good hammer for testable hypotheses, but not everything is a nail, and claiming that everything not a nail is irrelevant will have us missing out on two of the three types of knowledge.
Terrorism is ultimately another bogeyman, and while a problem nonetheless, I believe that we are interpreting a situational cause (the "Great Game" that has practically never ended, resulting in turmoil in various countries and causing more people to look for extremist solutions to impose order) as fundamental (that Islam predisposes people to terrorism, which is contradicted by a study (Lewis, Bernard, 'Islam: The Religion and the People' (2009), pg. 53) finding Islamic jurisprudence to be at odds with terrorism and a report by MI5 finding Islamic terrorists not being particularly religious or irreligious on average).
The fundamental problem is that when you have a lot of young people who either live in or have active ties to a region that has been screwed over for a long time, you are bound to see increasing numbers of people getting angry about it and thus increasing (but still small) numbers of people channeling that anger into horrific acts (which will, of course, be high profile compared to more statistically significant threats), believing those acts to be a solution, and perverting a belief system shared by most other people from the group they believe to themselves to be fighting for to justify them and popularize their cause.

I'm not sure the majority on here are old enough to get this.

You don't play chess to just kill time. It forces you to think.
So? You don't need a connection to play Solitaire.

Quick, everyone delete their System32 folders before the subscription policy takes effect!
Can we also program the drones to crash into mobility scooters if visual analysis determines the rider to be morbidly obese?
People will simply switch to youtube-dl or another local utility.
My Bronze Age LARP group has been wondering where we left all our gear since the last convention. Getting it all back's gonna be a bitch, though.

We already have irony punctuation. The problem is that not everyone knows or can be bothered to use them.
I'm sure automatic sarcasm detection's totally going to help those poor marketers sift through their pittance of data in even more ways.
But English started out as a mishmash of various Germanic languages to begin with, so it doesn't have any vocabulary to call its own.

They're supposed to explode what they stare at, not their own heads.
Since we're still talking about Earth orbit here, it's not that hard to determine.
You forgot that Hulu Plus still has ads.

Don't listen to this guy. They've got free gigabit Wi-Fi on the Astral Plane.

Just you wait. Bullets will soon tweet every kill.
Isn't it at least 3 accounts in at least 2 different currencies, at least one of which is in another country?
