Umm, you do know this is about information that is factually incorrect, like man never landing on the moon, or 2.3 trillion USD missing from the Pentagon before 9/11.
Not just stuff that conflicts with your particular world view.
Well, not that I know of, but anything that uses a rotating helical wing (helix pteron) as its primary method of flight qualifies as a helicopter to me.
Because, like home computers, smartphones are at the end of their adoption phase; every adult who is likely to eventually have one, now has one. And now they are also nearing the end of their feature phase - a smartphone from three years ago can do most of the useful things a 2018 smartphone can.
Companies like Apple and Samsung know this, and are scrambling to maintain their quarterly sales by cramming in useless features as selling points.
They're scared shitless that once people figure out they don't actually need 32,768 free emoji's or dodgy face recognition then they will stop upgrading. Then they'll replace their phones only when they break.
Enter planned obsolescence, and goodbye right-to-repair.
That's a terrible idea, and along the same mentality that led to the disaster of IoT. Do you really want to have to apply security vigilance to your frikkin UPS instead of just plugging the damn thing into one of your always-on machines and letting everything else query that?
Or at least allow a usb/network adapter.
Now that I could get behind.
it is long past to have a direct dc line from battery to going past computer power supply. Converting from DC to AC and back is so inefficient. Instead have 48V connector and let power supply take it down.
Yes please. Although you'd still need a conversion step for different UPS models (two-battery units are 24V, six-battery units are 72V, etc).
ideally, rack mountable.
Most >2000VA UPS models can operate in tower or rack configurations (attach feet or rails as desired).
Just the other day someone here ranked the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, released 3.5 years ago, as the best phone ever and that it's been downhill ever since.
The accusation is, the general American population is 78% white, 12% black, 10% Hispanic, 2% Asian, 2% Arab, x% Jewish, 51% female. If your work force does not have the same percentages you are discriminating.
Which is only true if the talent pool you are drawing from has the exact same proportions.
From the language they've used previously, I'm betting they'll go further and whitelist places you are allowed to visit, rather than bother with chasing individual places they don't want you going.
And you're mixing up "tasty" with "engineered to be addictive"
ie tasty.
And for "sustaining", watch "supersize me"
The problem with that approach is right there in the name. If you for some reason decide to live off fast food, don't supersize anything. In fact you're better off staying away from the sugar drinks and fries altogether.

I was about to post a rebuttal about mobile technology taking the place of personal computing, but then realized you are right.
The PC is now more focussed on getting stuff done and less about looking nice and consuming menial content.
That is why I use XFCE.

FlightGear could benefit from this.
In a society that utterly lacks compassion, yes.
I feel very privileged I do not live in such a place.
Indeed. If he was in utero today, and a genetic test revealed his condition he would likely have been aborted without a second thought.

Fun fact: Multicopters and nearly all drones are still helicopters.

So just pick one person at random and use them.
Problem solved, right?
fluorescent... backlight... tubes
I'm sorry, are you from the past?
skip the fucking usb. Go with network.

You did that on purpose didn't you?

You don't read the news much, do you?
Apart from the first sentence, I agree with everything you just said.
And now they've conned gullible liberals into taking away your guns so you can't fix it like you were supposed to.
From the language they've used previously, I'm betting they'll go further and whitelist places you are allowed to visit, rather than bother with chasing individual places they don't want you going.
Because throwing money at some problems doesn't make them go away.
It is neither inexpensive nor safe.

But you already knew that, didn't you?
You, sir, have just won this thread.
You could hear it through your microwave oven?
Please, tell us more.
No they didn't. Many died.
Sure, he can be your friend.
You could even say Al could be your pal.
Good for him.
vi is utter shit and should never be inflicted on anyone.
vim, however, is editing perfected.
