    and it still has no purpose, no killer app, other than being a slave to an iPhone, which means a second battery to charge.

  2. thus the problem at hand, it has to be someone's

    No, it doesn't. Most land where I live isn't privately owned.

  3. Seems doubtful. They probably do not have that resolution. Also you can notice the same at the Alaska / Yukon border.

  4. Sure, you can be a thug and steal, but then you're just a thug who steals...

    You mean like the royals you are defending?

    The land has been theirs for a thousand years

    Their ancestors stole it thousands of years ago. They paid little or very favorable tax on it since, much less than any non-royal would have paid with the same land. It's clearly not theirs.

  5. They are there partly because of their DNA, but also because of their training. No one could be there with DNA alone. Just like any job. Smart people are smart in part because of their DNA.

  6. The problem is that you *think* the land is theirs to begin with.

  7. We are all glad you are here, with so informative posts. Countries such as the USA are loosing hundred of millions each year for not having a king. How stupid they are.

    CO2 output up over the past 20 years and temperatures are stable

  9. I am sorry if you thought the alternative was a local monarch. The alternative is no monarch.

  10. 56p is still better than nothing. But I agree the main reason to end the monarchy is that every citizen should be equal under the law. Someone shouldn't be head of state only because her father was.

  11. You could pay me too to do nothing, if you are stupid enough to think that would save you money in the end.

  12. Could you care to explain how is it "their" land and not the land of the British government/people?

  13. In Britain, they might bring tourists. But in all others commonwealth realms, they are a shame and a waste of money. Who's stupid enough to keep a foreign queen as head of state?

  14. At 0.1% market share, couldn't we say they are already dead?

    Bad Predictions: Claim from the late 20th to early 21st century: Global Warming means that the planet it getting hotter. Temperatures will rise. Life: Record lows in winter Reaction: Change the term from Global Warming to Climate Change.

    Actually this prediction was right, the hottest years on record are all recent years. Temperatures did rise, on average. That doesn't mean that there isn't a town where it is colder in one month of the winter.

  16. The Apple biased reviews, too much focus on form over function is typical of that web site.

    Does it for free. Even though they recompress the pictures and downsize to 16 MP, you can't beet free.

  18. It means hackers aren't able to make damage which is too valuable, isn't it?
