Having an oversized body as a consequence of a lifetime diet of growth-hormone-tainted food is a deformity. There are a lot of grotesque deformities now because of various adverse dietary and environmental factors which have been considered acceptable, usually for reasons of profit.
Because I don't consume growth hormone residues in my diet, so long as the fecal runoff water from factory farms doesn't get into the fields where my veggies grow.
The first hominid ancestors to us whose brains quickly developed much larger were avid seafood eaters. There are a number of telltale biological clues to this in our physiology, including the fact that our bodies don't manufacture DHA yet our brains and nervous systems require high levels of it. Also DHA is passed through the placenta to the fetus implying that the ancestors had an abundant supply of it in their diet.
What I hope this is is the ability to go running and have your smart watch act as your phone. Get in your car and have the car stereo act as a phone. Then switch it back to the mobile phone device. That's something GV does not do or if it does it requires wifi.
The way I understand this to work is that each device's IMEI can be added to the pool for a particular number and you can select on the fly which device(s) are active. In addition they are offering that you can have multiple numbers and multiple IMEI's pooled between them.
The only thing surprising about this is why, in 2017, this hasn't happened sooner.
The real story is the ripoff of American's who were promised fiber upgrades to old infrastructure which never materialized. The providers did a bait-and-switch and only upgraded certain backbone lines with fiber, but leaving the critical -to-home endpoints with the outdated copper. My d/l speeds are far less than 1Mbps over DSL and upload is appalling. My ISP will allow me to use a second copper wire for double the price which is an absolute rirpoff.
For people who believed that all of our old copper lines were eventually going to be replaced with shiny new fiber, that is a complete lie and the providers basically perpetrated large-scale fraud.
FYI if you're really going for it and have $$$ and intend to use VR - which I would definitely want to do, then you should take this into consideration.
I don't know about the recent 4th gen, but my 1st gen Carbon X1 has RAM soldered to mobo. I didn't know about this and got a 4GB model. But because if has a fast SSD drive and I've also allocated extra swap space (I prefer dphys-swapfile over swap partition and had to up the CONF_SWAPFACTOR a bit to have extra headroom) I don't notice any issues at all.
Re: i5 vs. i7, I almost always try to get i5. Not even sure why anyone would buy an i5.
One final thing: I actually prefer not to have too high resolution on laptops unless its one of the newer super-high 2K ones. But I can't stand 1920 on a 15.6" display because I can never find a happy medium with font and widget size and I hate having to scale up the global display setting which often throws things off. 1600 is the best.
Just throwing in my vote for a Thinkpad. I personally won't even consider a laptop that doesn't have a Trackpoint. NVidia drivers should pretty much work no problem with Linux however there can be issues with certain apps running under Wine with NVidia drivers to to be completely safe you might want to stick with an Intel graphics chipset.
Stuff I run on Wine: Kindle for PC, Adobe Acrobat XI, and Adobe Photoshop that latter of which has an issue with NVidia.
As for models it seems like all the most recent ones are getting pretty light with amazing battery life, but if you want ultra-light and great battery then get the X1 Carbon. Personally I would love to get one of the new P series.
Every time I read about something like this I'm just so glad it was only a supply ship. I'm sure it must be stressful for the crew on the ISS to hear about this.
I find this article and discussion odd. I have not had a cold in many years. For several years now since I've been using zinc oral spray and/or tablets prophylactically I have never come down with a full-blown cold. I've considered the cold cured by zinc for quite a while now. The trick is knowing when to use it and how much. Almost always I can quickly sense if there's a severe infection starting and know when to zinc up and how much. Usually only need to do one or a few doses of oral spray, but in difficult cases it may require multiple doses of oral tablets (2 tablets every few hours and in *really* bad cases 3 is ok).
The main side effects of zinc are 1) metallic tasting food especially fruit like strawberries; 2) nausea if taken on an empty stomach (not advised)
What's even scarier than fake news is when news is blacked out. Fake news is not something one would never expect, even if we did not live in a society in which the mainstream media is controlled to an extremely high degree.
I remember at least a couple major incidents of GMO contamination which literally made headlines across the rest of the world and which were almost completely blacked out of all US media. When you witness this kind of blanket blackout a few times you realize just how extensively MSM is controlled.
Also on the issue of fake news - someone should go back to 2003 and investigate the "repenting shield" fake news stories just before the US started bombing Iraq.
all children born in the US are natural born citizens regardless of whether their parents are citizens or are even legally permitted to be here
False. That is a false interpretation of the 14th Amendment, and very clearly was *not* the intention of that amendment's authors, and under Donald Trump this issue with finally be resolved in the courts and those kids (and grandkids) expelled.
People thought they could game the system in this way and the game is now up. If they complain about the suffering of the kids (and grandkids) they should have thought of it when they were gaming the system and ripping off Americans.

If mothers consume dairy products with hormone residues their babies will be bigger, hence the increased need for C sections...

rGBH hormone residues fed to make cows produce more milk being consumed by humans.
So glad I'm vegan.
"Evolving". Hah. Humans are effectively replicating but I would say that that process is quite far from evolving at this point in time.
Too much pollution. They need to be more "compassionate" and bring in even more swarms of third-world invaders because there aren't enough people yet.

You should work for Donald Trump. Seriously. Please.
I hope Donald Trump reads /.

The couple millimeters that cost Samsung $billions.
sounds more like the copper would have corroded from salt not oxidized. oxidation happens all the time from air exposure.
sore twisted loser
All hair the Queen!
This sounds like it would make an absolutely amazing VR world that you could cruise around in. Even more fun would be designing such a world!

shocking. its basically a criminal conspiracy.
False. Zinc has a dramatic effect on colds when used prophylactically. When used after a cold it has less of an effect. Correlation is extremely high.
