  1. Most Android phones don't have a 10 year of even 3 year battery. My wife's LG isn't at 80% and it's less than a year old. If I wanted a phone with no headphone jack, no easily replaceable battery and no sd card slot I'd buy a fucking Apple.

    I know that if there is a top grade phone with replaceable battery, micro-sd slot and headphone jack then I'm in. I'm still using a 2 year old S5 Active because it still meets my needs and I haven't seen anything I consider enough better to make me pay out 700-800 dollars.

  3. It is what it is.

  4. Apple has no future as anything other than a hardware company. The software side was simply to provide support for the hardware. To think they'll somehow transition into the over saturated dog eat dog world of the entertainment industry is crazy. The iPod allowed them to leverage the music business for iTunes but it's not where their money is.

    Apple charges a premium price but 3x is bullshit.

    I like my 2012 15" Macbook Pro. Love it. But I haven't seen anything they've produced since that is worth buying. It's been a drive to lighten and reduce size and no other real improvements. They need to realize that some people don't want a 3mm thick computer at the cost of it becoming disposable in 3 years. Leave the option to change the battery and upgrade memory at the least. I'm going to be looking for a new laptop in another 3 or 4 years and it isn't looking like another Mac.

  7. I read it and it's a lot of supposition. There's no clear, definitive answer.

    I like my cable company's customer service great. The price is way too much though. Same with AT&T, I love the service but hate paying the bill.

    A router shouldn't be going bad after 2 years. I had a WRT54G for over 10 years until last year when I replaced it with a new model with all the new wireless protocols. My DirecTV DVR kept bitching about speed for on demand. It made a big difference in throughput and I probably should have replaced it years ago but I have a hard time throwing out something that works.

  10. Hard to believe there was no way to fix the phones. I read somewhere it was an issue with the battery. Surely they could have just replaced all the batteries?

    Some of those connections wont stream old fashioned analog tv much less anything considered HD.

    I don't trust them because they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

  13. Good thing he wasn't a danger to others, huh?

  14. For a 9mm to do that he'd have had to be close range. It's got no real punch. Cops sometimes shoot people four or five times in the back and they keep running.

  15. The Ft. Lauderdale shooter self reported to the FBI. They were too busy to deal with him.

    Actually the reactor grade fuel is made up of a pretty complex mix of plutonium. The worst radiating particles die off much quicker than the more stable particles. The fuel will be much weaker though still harmful after 100 years. As to how much it takes to kill you that also varies. It's definitely something to avoid though.

    I see popups all the time telling me my computer has a virus. They often show me all these windows .dll files that are infected. Amazing as I'm running Ubuntu. I've grown my banned url list quite a bit.

    It's just that her margin in the total count pretty much equals the California margin. I get that she won the popular vote but the founders were paranoid about mob rule and set up the electoral system to preserve state power. Oh well. I can't say I'm sad because as bad as I find Trump I dreaded Hilliary with utmost horror. You can already see that Trump is going to be reigned in as the establishment toadies from both sides band together to bring him to heel. Goldman Sachs and friends lost the White House but they still have all their bitches in Congress. Looking at you John McCain, the man who loved every lobbyist he ever met.
