Synthetic diamonds are superior. They flawless, and eventually they'll be made much larger than any natural diamond ever found. DeBeers needs to come to grips with this fact, and either come up with a new business model or liquidate their operations.
Stupid canard is stupid. All the revenues Apple gets from cables and the like don't even add up to a rounding error in an Apple quarterly report.
Apple knows in great detail how many people are using various features of their products. At every product revision, they take that information into account to decide what ports to keep and what to drop. We've been hearing people squawk about this ever since the iMac shipped without a floppy drive.
YOU might want an RJ 45 or an SD slot, but Apple has to decide whether to incur the cost of each port across every unit they ship. If the numbers don't justify it, the port goes away. Seriously, they're not doing this just to fuck with you.
Sure, blame only half of the Ruling Party. After all, it's not like Obama has signed bills extending the PATRIOT act multiple times, or done fuck-all to end the DHS or the TSA, is it?
The militia is cited as one reason to prohibit the federal government from disarming us, but the amendment doesn't even presume to be granting the right. It acknowledges it as pre-existing.
Of course I've been lied to. The tragedy is that you think the lies are only coming from one brand of the Ruling Party. Trump is a lying scumbag: that's why Hillary never took any money from him, right? Oh, wait...
Nobody cares about the content of those talks, least of all anybody at Goldman Sachs. She could have stood at the lectern and read Rod McKuen poems for all they care. The issue is that the money Goldman gave her for those "speeches" are in fact bribes paid on spec, against the contingency of her getting into the white house.

Sportsball is bad enough, but watching other people play computer games, for fuck's sake?

it's kind of amazing how they managed to do that and not have anyone tell them that their ideas were stupid
I have no doubt that plenty of people have told them exactly that. It would not surprise me to learn that they fired anyone who did so, though.
If Twitter were an engineering-driven company, they wouldn't be lousy with SJWs.

WRONG.
