1. A nice, relaxing watch on your own time, own schedule, with the people of your choosing, with affordable snacks and great seats
2. A dingy, overpriced, cramped, uncomfortable, smelly struggle to enjoy a film played on poorly maintained projectors in a theater rocking with the sounds of cellphones and conversation, while the usher stands idly by and fails to enforce any order, while you munch stale $20 popcorn.
You missed the point of the article : for most movies, the theater experience is actually worse than what you can enjoy at home (for all the reasons you mentioned). However, sometimes there's a movie which deserves to be seen on a huuuuge screen, and Dunkirk seems to be in this category.
And it will probably be my annual trip to the theater.
To the people who think carrying cash is dangerous: cash never fails to complete a transaction.
I am currently traveling in Sweden (but I am Swiss, not Swede). Yesterday, I saw at least three signs saying "no cash" in restaurants, museums or shops. On my arrival here, I tried to get cash from an ATM, but the maximum I could get was around USD 100.
I am not saying that it is a good thing. But I see no good reasons to have cash above 20-50 banknotes.
51.41% is a very small majority, especially in a country which has very limited freedom of press, where opponents are sent to jail and where ballot stuffing is practiced (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...).
I cannot in any seriousness tell my data analysts they are going to use OpenOffice, they would laugh me out of the room!
Then you should stick with MS Office, you are the typical Microsoft customer. But for many people, Google Docs is good enough if you can live with a cloud application, and LibreOffice is good enough for people like me who want to stay in control of our data. Oh, and both happen to be free...
Basically, the cost of cleaning up nuclear accidents is just 0.4 cents/kWh.
Congratulations for your explanation. The conclusion is that nuclear power is OK, as long as you don't live close to a nuclear plant. You have made the perfect case for "Not in my backyard".
I guess it depends on how you generate the hydrogen. If you do so by cheap electricity produced by burning coal, it might not be so CO2-emission-free...
My iPhone was stolen recently; I put it in "lost mode" as soon as I could, and two days later it surfaced 1'000 km (and 2 countries...) away. I would have been nice if it could have captured the thief's fingerprint. As long as this feature is only actived in "lost mode", I don't see legal issues.
I don't think that such a feature would have a great impact on how many stolen iPhones are recovered; however, it may reduce the number of stolen ones.
Like they have in France, Belgium, Norway, Denmark and Scotland?
Yes. And most (if not all) other European countries.
It is not 100% perfect, but it makes these countries safer than the US for these kind of shootings.
I actually require the tests for people that work with me. Drugs that effect mental processes... Effect mental processes. They impair judgement in my experience and make people unreliable.
Do you also test people for alcohol ?
In a few occasions, I had to work with alcoholics (and one time it was my boss...); they are the worse.
Yes, but in order to be seen as a Microsoft Outlook replacement, LibreOffice needs more than an eMail client : it requires a good contact manager and calendar, and possibly a "to do" application and a note-taking application. And the ability to sync their data with your mobile phone.
Although I haven't used Thunderbird in a while, I remember why I gave it up : only the eMail client was good (and even excellent in some aspects), the rest was definitely not.

We used to be able to make nuclear plants, now we can't. Either we forgot how, or something else happened. Place your bets.
Let me rephrase this for you : it used to be cost efficient to generate electricity with nuclear plants, now it isn't.
Taking the family to the theater sets me back $70 just for the tickets for a family of 4, then add drinks, candy and popcorn and you are over $150
Do you take your family to watch a movie or to eat junk food ? You seem to spend more on the latter...
Which would you rather have:
1. A nice, relaxing watch on your own time, own schedule, with the people of your choosing, with affordable snacks and great seats 2. A dingy, overpriced, cramped, uncomfortable, smelly struggle to enjoy a film played on poorly maintained projectors in a theater rocking with the sounds of cellphones and conversation, while the usher stands idly by and fails to enforce any order, while you munch stale $20 popcorn.

I must say: Turkey will get what they voted for.

You need to be in good health to have children. You need to be in good health to live longer.
One of Argentina's natural landmarks is the yearly fall of the Perito Moreno glaciar bridge.

This sounds like a feature, not a bug
Diluted earnings per share for Q1 2016 was $3.28 and Q1 2017 was $3.36 or a difference of 2.43, showing yet another hidden decline.
From $3.28 to $3.36 doesn't look like a decline to me. Care to explain ?

And 90% of McKinsey jobs can be automated with a good bullshit generator
Just another reason Free Software is still relevant in the era of the app store.
This is a problem of data, not of code.

More Apple shareholders are in the US than elsewhere

Maybe not the hi-tech response you expected ...

Moreover, Russia participates in the Eurovision Song Contest.
Russia can be considered as part of Europe (depending on how you define it...), but Tajikistan is definitely an Asian country.
The article lists Tajikistan as a European country, which makes it difficult to consider the article seriously.
Even smart phones really aren't all that different from the PalmPilots we used in the late 1990s.
In the late 1990s, PalmPilots were only PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) and not phones.
The first real smartphone I had was a Treo 600 in 2003; but its MP3 player or camera were such jokes that I still had a separate iPod and camera.
Budgie is a DE
And what is a DE ? Sorry, but two letter acronyms are ungooglable.
