It was probably a smartphone because you had to be smart to do anything useful with it... unlike today where dummies do all sorts of useless things with it.
"queue" most certainly is an english word. And it does mean to place in an ordered sequence, or line. Why do you think that a FIFO buffer is also called a queue?
Or "queue", as in they're going to line up to bash. But the article deserves to be bashed.
" Thousands of software developers would be poorer"
And millions would be richer if they hadn't wasted their time on apps and instead took a minimum wage job.
Also, it never "put the internet into everyone's pocket." Android has a far better claim to that. And this sort of overhyped starry-eyed bs is why so many people love to hate on Apple fanbois.
And you're a troll. So what? Even 50% of adults (who should know better) underestimate their child's weight, and 14% think their overweight kids are normal weight. And over 15,000 subjects is hardly a cherry-picked microscopic sample size. You're just SO full of shit you must look really, really obese.
Why should they know better? Because when they were younger they had more examples of normal-weight kids around them. Their perceptions are like the frog sitting in a pan of progressively hotter water.
f parents are to be part of the solution to childhood obesity then parental recognition of overweight and obesity must be improved, they said.
Dr Angela Jones, who carried out the study, said that part of the problem was that their had been a shift in what was considered "normal" weight in the last few years.
Only extremely overweight children were recognized as having a problem.
The findings were mirrored by a study in the Netherlands which found three quarters of parents did not recognize their children as overweight and half of those with children that were obese.
Why do you think you're seeing all these ads now telling both adults and kids that they're perfect even if they're obese? And the whole "don't body-shame" thing? Shaming works. It worked with tobacco addiction, where smokers over the decades went from being normal to being pariahs, and nothing less will work with obesity. As long as everyone keeps pushing the message that it's okay, people won't feel the pressure to change. It's the "new normal."
I think the survey results are somewhat skewed. They say that only 51% of Canadians think he's an idiot - I think they did the survey only in English Canada, and they're too polite to say what they really think. Ask the French - they're not shy about how much they think Trump is a gibbering idiot con artist. Just ask the mayor of Montreal - Canada's second largest city - who during an interview said Trump was full of shit. (No, we don't bleep it out here when it's news).
The median has gone way up. Kids shown silhouettes of kids of different weight now pick the overweight or obese one as normal weight, and the healthy weight one as way too skinny.
Rather normal - chocolate is deadly for cats and dogs. Also cats cannot taste sweets
Most chocolate is no more deadly for dogs than it is for humans. Milk chocolate doesn't contain the chemical theobromide in amounts necessary to do damage - the dog would have to eat it's weight in milk chocolate to kill it. Same as eating your own weight in milk chocolate will kill you. My first newfie found my stash of solid easter bunnies I had bought on sale after easter, and ate 10 pounds of them. No harm. The family cat would get into the Hershey's Kisses and eat them, aluminium and all. It definitely could taste sweets. Just made for tinsel-wrapped poop. A sister's tiny Lhasa Apso ate a box of crayons - the only effect was the poop was easier to spot. Cats and dogs are a lot tougher than you think.
And they don't just update willy-nilly to the latest distro. You update too quickly, you know you're really a canary in a cage. So the "solution" is to update again? I'd roll back to the previous version of whatever you were using and wait a bit.
So anyone telling the truth and putting their name to it is "smug"? My original comment was accurate. Your response was a blatant lie. And you don't even offer any proof for your lies, because you can't. Everyone knows I don't post anonymously. The editors are free to check the logs, they'll say the same thing.
So, while I was out helping get my corner of the world back on track, what did you do? Oh, right, NOTHING except lie.
I can't wait until anonymity disappears from the internet and everyone has to stand by everything they post, same as in real life you have to stand behind everything you say and do. Shit-posters like you will have to learn how to think critically. But since you obviously can't or you'd already be doing it...
In the original source (which other commenters have quoted) he admits that he leveraged his position to try to get sex, and that he was wrong. Scroll through, you'll find it (warning: the original source only lets you read a bit before requiring you to register, so if you have a throw-away email address...)
They can't create anything, so they punish those who do. Sad to see the self-appointed "civilization-bringing continent" (as they declare in their ludicrous "constitution") stoop so low. They must be desperate.
They can't create anything? How about the printing press, the first technology that allowed mass distribution of information. The steam engine that powered the industrial revolution. Radio, that allowed information to be transmitted literally across oceans without connecting wires, and to ships. Penicillin, the first antibiotic. Asepsis, that reduced infections after surgery. The balloon, the first tethered balloon, and the first sustained flight of a human using another balloon. The first working telegraph and the first commercial telegraph system. The first railroads and steam locomotives which enabled movement of large cargoes across great distances regularly. Radiation and transmutation of elements. The concept of satellites. X-rays.
Actually, the US does define abuse of a market position the same way the EU does. As long as you're the dominant player, you don't get to abuse your position. See the government lawsuits against IBM and Microsoft and Intel having to cut a deal with AMD to avoid the same fate.
Trump disagrees with you. He thinks everyone should have to be under US law. So does the DoJ with their requirement that Microsoft employees breach EU privacy laws.
Then again, yesterday's survey says 3/4 of non-Americans think Trump is an idiot.
You don't get to redefine terms. You can easily avoid me, but you go out of your way not to. You have a serious lack of insight into yourself. Get some help. Or better yet, don't. I like the fact that my mere existence drives bigots nuts. I really do. It demonstrates the perverse stupidity of people like you - it's like a kid sticking in their finger in an electric socket over and over even though it hurts. You get something out of it, or you'd stop doing it. Just like I get to laugh at your moronic attempts to justify your hate. Why? Because it's funny. And you deserve it, so I'm not going to feel sorry for you. Au contraire, you are just like the poster of the titanic - your purpose in life is to serve as a lesson to others.
What I said is that it was fully justified. When a killing is justified, it doesn't meet the definition of murder. At best, it's assisted suicide - something that the world is moving to, and I have no problem with. Even a few US states recognize it's needed.
What's more of an imposition is forcing someone who wants to die to continue to suffer. Keeping them alive past that point is torture. You wouldn't do it to a dog, but you're okay with doing it to a human. Anyone who does this is a sadistic willfully ignorant bastard.
A shortage of cash for shit projects? I wish that were true, but SillyValley proves otherwise. This won't attract any more funding only because it's way shittier than most. At some point, sanity begins to push back.
I said that many transsexuals are dysfunctional. That's a fact that is easily verified by looking at the rate of HIV/AIDS infections - the highest numbers of any demographic in the world. Extremely high rates of participation in the sex industry. And plenty of anxiety and depression over how the rest of the world treats us (which drops to almost normal levels with proper treatment).
It's as if many (most?) of use went through life without picking up a single job skill, so spreading their legs or butt-cheeks is the only alternative they can think of.
How is it wrong to point out that there are problems? We can't address them if we don't first acknowledge they exist. At some point we have to clean up our own shit.
You really don't understand the purpose of the best sci-fi. It pushes the boundaries by, in this case, taking stereotypes and forcing you to take a closer look and see how under the right circumstances they could become all too real. We see the misogynist bible nut (the commander), the second thinks he's god's gift to women, and the third a guy who has insight into what makes men tick and realizes that, ultimately, he's just another manifestation of the same thinking the first two indulge in.
As for your claim that those obvious stereotypes don't match scientific observations, you don't have to be a scientist - just read the news. Defunding of Planned Parenthood because they use (non-federal privately donated) funds for abortion, the latest health care proposal, drafted by 10 men and 0 women, that wants to defund prenatal services, the counting of rape as a "pre-existing condition", the reincarnation of the Tea Party religious conservatives as the new alt right. Or just read the comments here, which also reinforce those same stereotypes.
Let me guess - you failed your high school literature classes.
She was way ahead of her time. She cared for her sick husband until he couldn't take it any more, helped him die, then killed herself.
Today he would have been able to have an assisted death. He met the criteria. Just because society at the time was afraid to deal plainly with these issues doesn't mean she did anything wrong. Just illegal. And in many countries, you wouldn't be able to get a murder conviction today. Certainly not here, where this would be seen as a symptom of society failing the elderly.
Some of what you try to dismiss as "flirting" was way beyond acceptable limits. And extremely unprofessional. But the frat-boy mentality that this site has degenerated to since 2000 makes your reply expected.

It's the same with kids opinions about their being overweight or obese. Many kids just don't see it. They think of obese as normal. And why wouldn't they - they see it everywhere now, so being overweight or obese has been normalized.
A fifth (20 per cent) had a BMI in the overweight category and seven per cent were categorised as obese.
Of these, around 40 per cent thought they were about the right weight.
And it's not getting better.

So it's a good thing to feed the dog table scraps. Also good for the environment, less resources going into making and transporting dog food.
One liter? I'm sure many, if not most, Americans could handle double that.

I have seen many trolls in my lifetime, but I don't think I've ever seen one as sad and pathetic as this.
You must be new here.
Go look at x.conf - multiple sections. Try running it without.

Considering that the fine would be 5% of revenue, they may decide it's more profitable to pay the fine and just leave things as they are.
