The Wii U is a disaster and is a dead product. The original Wii was a humongo success. Nintendo is releasing the new Switch early next year. No reason to give up hope just cuz they have a bad console.
and yet they sell millions of Wiis and DS handhelds. They appeal to market segments that are abandoned by PS, Xbox. And they're expanding into phone mobile gaming. Pokemon came out 6 months ago and Mario came out yesterday.
I think if you read the quote in its full context you would have seen that while the author thought he was talking about the novel, infact he was talking about the movie and mischaracterizing it. You have to get inside people's heads to truly know what they mean...
Dems lost because they ran an unelectable candidate. Americans neither liked nor trusted HRC. We knew this a year ago. But due to her vanity, greed and lust for power, she decided she would run anyway. Then she collided with purportedly neutral groups like the Democratic Party and the media to rig the primary and steamroll over dem candidates who could have been viable.
I think she'll go down in history as a horrible person.
Trump has articulated policies that violate the 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th amendments. The only thing he has not threatened is to quarter soldiers in your home.
Honestly, right? The only reason why goog made chrome was to suck up everybody's browser history. I use safari and Firefox. I don't install toolbars. And my default search engine is DuckDuckGo. Too bad goog, you lose this round!
Your larger point is true, but i think the GP was talking about Wahhabi and Sufi extremists sects, which are very much based in the middle east. These are the main generators of the violent extremist muslim ideology.
I'm not even sure what their end goal is. Maybe they don't know. I think they want to impose extreme ideological purity, as defined by their own philosophy, on everyone else. And they are willing to use all manner of extremist violence to achieve it.
I think you're right, there is a lot of violence in some muslim countries. But I think the bigger threat to USA is his "war on terrorism" which by definition never ends and requires us to give up more and more of our freedoms.
Think about it. "Iraq war" we won because we caught Saddam. "Afghanistan war" I guess wound down because the Al Quaeda was pretty much broken. But the War on Terrorism has no fixed endpoint. We will be fighting it forever.
Pop quiz hotshot: there has always been terrorism, and there always will be terrorism.
> Starship Troopers has been decried as promoting fascism and being racist
unbelievable. The entire movie is biting satire of the perils of a society always at war and a society with a universally hated enemy. It's brilliant in its insights; coming out in 1997, it presaged the mess that was 9/11 / war in iraq / war in afghanistan / ISIS. It's a flippin awesome movie and I think they should show it in schools to educate about the dangers of mindlessly buying into the war economy.
At last weekend's Comikaze convention in Los Angeles, I had an extended conversation about this with Caspar Van Diem. A cool guy! I assume the new movie will be a lame rehash of action scenes, without any insights to be had.
let's talk about the real problem here. it's that there's only one macbook pro. In windows world, if dell does something you don't like you can just go buy acer or whoever. but if apple releases the new macbook pro, it's not like the old pro will still be available. Also, you can't just go to Bapple to buy their bacbook pro instead. If you're into the macOS world, then you need to buy the apple computer.
> Just curious, when you need high speed network connections, how do you go about it without a wired ethernet connection?
I never do any local / LAN networking. I only use my network to access the intertubes. Right now my bottleneck is Charter Cable at 60 MBPS. The wi fi is more than sufficient to handle this speed.
I think your comments are insightful. If it makes you feel better, they left the headphone port there.
I heard the problem with the memory was on intel's end. Their chips support 32g of desktop ram, but only 16g of low power ram. Some OEMs chose to stuff desktop ram in a laptop, and deal with the tradeoffs. Apple chose to stick with the low power ram. I think it is a bottleneck that will be resolved by intel next year.
I also think it's notable that the new pro is thinner than the current air. if you're a photographer and you get a laptop for on the go photo processing, you'll appreciate a thin light computer with great battery life.

but who got the NES mini? I bet the cop took it. Civil forfeiture! Corrupt!

1 ton ~= 1 metric ton
1 meter ~= 1 yard
oh snap I just unwound your attempt at confusion!
Also I assume you mean US customary units, not imperial units. An imperial quart is different than a US customary quart.
I've never seen any doxxing or harassment I r/offmychest.
ikr? it conflates hardware failures and when a buggy app crashes. Not impressed...

I know you're talking about hillary, but I'm talking about donald trump.

A characteristic that ALL presidents shared at one point or another.

The terrorists want donald trump to win.

No it's true! He was at the Comikaze expo in LA last weekend. I met him, but didn't get a photo cuz that was like $40.

Generate fear => never ending war => $$$$

the computer has a headphone port.

Do they make ethernet to usbc dongles?
mbp has 4 usb slots. plenty of room for everybody!
apple just cut their memory upgrade costs on the new pro
I would get a USB stick that has a USB-A connector one one end and a USB-C connector on the other. Problemo solvedo!
