We're in 2019. In most countries, 18 years old is enough to get a driver's license. That means anyone born in the year 2000 or less is legally allowed to drive.

Even if I split my display vertically and display two applications side-by-side, I would still need to pick up the mouse and move the cursor to switch the focus between the two. It's still much faster to use ALT+TAB and I don't have to waste any display area for the application which does not have the focus.
I have been working with windowed environments since Windows 95, and I've almost always switched between full screen apps - except small ones like a calculator, etc.
If you have 16 giant widescreen monitors to have all your windows visible at once, more power to you. But most of us only have one display and limited screen space. Some of us still use 4:3 or 5:4 displays. Mine is 1280x1024. It still works, so why the fuck would I send it to the scrap heap and waste money on a monitor I don't need?
For me, it's almost always been faster to ALT+TAB between applications. Otherwise, I need to: - pick up the mouse - activate "mission control" (macOS) with the 4th mouse button (on my setup) - locate the application I want out of dozens of applications opened, some of them with multiple windows, so that means searching what I want out of dozens of tiny 220x176 pixels thumbnails - move the cursor to the application I want to switch to - click on that application to bring it into focus

Force them to split into three companies:
- computers
- tablets/phones/watches/glasses
- music/tv/movies
No way. In 2031, everyone uses Timex. Computers, phones, tablets, watches, glasses.
You think people using Opera, a now-owned-by-China browser, are smarter?
You think people who use Internet Explorer, which has been abandoned by Microsoft itself over a year ago, are smarter than people who use Edge?
You're a dumbass.
You cannot force idiots not to be dumbasses.
Troy: What's wrong with me?
Zaius: I think you're crazy.
Troy: Want a second opinion.
Zaius: You're also lazy.

It got annoying because you're a dumbass. You just had to change the cycling timer to a much longer period, such as a few hours or even a day.
If you put your photos online, you have to assume that everyone on the planet will be able to see them one day.
Isn't it easier to just drink Red Bull?
It depends if you rely on the marketing departments of NEC, SEGA or Intel.
So is it the new total number of letters 4+2+4, or 4+2+2?

Switzerland, eh? I heard their security was full of holes .
I need to stop posting before my morning coffee.
In some places it's 16, yes. But it is included in the "18+" group by definition.
You do know about Paris, Ontario, right?

Scary thoughts.

How hard could it be to develop the paperclip? Those things are sold in packs of 100 for one dollar these days.

Dude, calm the fuck down a bit. We know it's not a drill. It's a screwdriver.
