Apple puts a lot of work into performance across the board in every iOS release, and it's the older devices that show the most benefit. They want people to update, because the more people are on the latest release, the lower their support costs are.
I quit using Tripadvisor the first time they yanked a negative review that I wrote. That tells me in no uncertain terms that they're not a review site, they're an ad site.
The Red Dynasty has this fantasy that they can keep a lid on the Chinese people by clamping down on communications, harassing dissidents, etc, etc. What they don't understand is that all governments, no matter how evil or vicious, ultimately depend on the consent of the people to exist. Deng Xiaoping created modern China by dialing the government control way the fuck back, and prevented a revolution that would have destroyed the CCP. If the current dictator doesn't wise up, he's going to get the Mussolini treatment.
"Master" and "slave" perfectly convey the concept. Pandering to SJW language police is not only a waste of time, it encourages them to waste our time on this kind of trivia.
I've been getting death threats since the FIDONET days, and once in a while one of the losers trying to scare me has mentioned where I was living or working at the time in their threat, but not one of them has even showed up to TP my house, let alone try anything dangerous.
If you can't ignore the Internet Tough Guys, then get off the internet, for fuck's sake. If you actually believe that any of them will show up, get a pump-action shotgun: problem solved.
Sorry to pop your pompous little bubble there, but the fact of the matter is that shit happens, and when it does, it's better to be prepared than unprepared. Attempting to disarm the public means discarding the natural advantage of good people outnumbering bad people. It also means that you disarm law-abiding citizens, while criminals can go right ahead and arm themselves (Anders Brevik, for example).
I sincerely hope that if your life is ever in danger, that there is someone equipped and prepared to defend you, but kindly stop pretending that abject helplessness is a virtue.
Chicago tends towards individual shootings, actually. Mostly gang warfare. Mass shootings usually happen in venues where the attacker reasonably expects large numbers of unarmed victims.

in this case, the trolls have it right.
Hear, hear!
I remember when I though Jar-jar was as bad as any SW character would ever get. Hell, I thought Disney would FIX things.

U mad bro? Must be a tough time to be a leftard, with your abject failure so obvious after the failure of the Soviets.

The left wing has been very big on bigotry for over a century. Look up what Marx itself had to say about Jews, for example.

Oh get a fucking grip. Trump won't even make the top ten.

What exactly is bad about starting school at 7:15AM?
Let me be the first to say FUCK YOU.

Civilized people are dead at 7:15 AM. What kind of an asshole would demand that you get a kid to school so early?

Pop-psych trivia doesn't belong on /.

This man has actually thought about the consequences of Sanders' idiotic idea, which is more than that geriatric commie bastard will ever do.

All of our guns are most certainly not making us safer in this country
What's your next guess? Guns are used defensively about two and a half million times a year in the USA.

Yes, it's so much better to be raped or run over with a truck, or blown to bits, isn't it?
