Removable batteries are a red herring dragged into the discussion by Apple haters. If the battery lasts as long as you're going to own the phone, who cares? If you want to go longer without recharging, you can get batteries that plug into the iPhone which aren't any more of a hassle than removable batteries.
SD card slots - how many people actually use theirs? Earphone jacks? The latest iPhones are selling well with wired alternatives, and come with an adapter if you want.
Suppose you spend $1K on an iPhone and keep it for three years. That's less than $1/day.
If you smoke, you're spending more on tobacco than on your iPhone. If you buy a fancy coffee twice a week, that's more expensive. If you have a nice car, that's more expensive. There are any number of expenses that even low-income people have that are over a dollar a day.
Nobody's explained to me what's so great about a user-replaceable battery. My iPhone 5S is over three and a half years old now, and the battery performance is good. My sister-in-law got my wife's old iPhone 4, which is about three years older, and which has never had a battery change.
If I go with the most expensive option, it will cost me eighty dollars to replace the battery on my phone. For something I do maybe every four years, that's not much of an expense.
If you use something fairly heavily almost every day for three years or so (my iPhone is older than that), a few hundred more dollars for ease of use is not a big deal. People in general spend more than that on things they don't really need.
One county issued illegal "butterfly" ballots. It was a bipartisan decision. Any halfway reasonable statistical analysis shows that it cost Gore the election, all other things being equal. The ballots did confuse the voters.
It serves the purpose of opening up the actor pool, and providing us with a new personality. I laughed my way through the new Ghostbusters movie. I thought it was great.
It's fantastic fiction. Why do the sex roles have to be set in concrete?
Chances are your C program would be easy to transform to C++, line for line. It might be necessary to add a few casts and change a few identifiers. Hence, C++ could be used to produce a program just as fast.
The difference is that there are facilities in C++ to easily handle range checking, if you want to use them, and in most situations there's no good reason not to.
If people release software in C++ that uses non-memory-safe code, the developers usually not all that good. The choice of language is less important than the competence of the developers.
The subsidies don't cover that much of the cost, and they're there to get the industry going, not to subsidize inherent inefficiencies. Besides, payback more than covers the subsidies.
You mentioned a few officers over the course of two years. That's not a real high death rate. Are you just cherry-picking things that happen in a country of over three hundred million people?
Collection agencies can make money by not bothering with the documentation. They'll lose if the matter ever gets to court, of course, but they'll lose if they're just not paid, which is another likely outcome. They make money by buying debt cheap.
I did some financial model implementation for a mortgage company. When we added the part about varying property values, it was about how fast they'd increase. Moreover, the models were based on cases where mortgages were never underwater, and there just wasn't the data to predict based on that.
Academia has been left-leaning a lot longer than one generation.
However, there is no "left", you're assuming that the "left" has goals that are sinister because you disagree with them, and you'll obviously attribute things to "them".
The problem with that is that a Mac is a package deal. With a Windows or Linux device, it's easier to get the stuff you want without the stuff you don't.
Way back when, my opinion was that all OSes are equally annoying, so my preference was for the one that took least resources. Then I found MacOS, an OS that kept out of my way and generally did the right thing, and after that Unix, which actually helped me do things. Microsoft was doing pretty well with XP and 7 at not being annoying, and threw it all away.
A lot of that list is old. The W10 interface never did recover from 8 and Metro. Aside from that and the telemetry, as long as you avoid Cortana and W10S, it's the same old complaints.
The director of a sports car organization is asked to replace the Vettes, and buys the Che- variety (which ceased production twenty years ago - man, I'm feeling old).

Charity is covered under the General Welfare clause, which Madison should have known about.

As long as there's a single voting machine that doesn't leave a paper trail, you don't know that and neither do I.

Don't forget energy radiated (or just conducted or convected) away.

Energy costs money. If solar panels took that much energy to make, they'd be too expensive to be practical. They aren't. Therefore, you're wrong.
Your problem is lack of empathy. You think nobody should be bothered by things that don't bother you.

Assuming a requirement to run Windows-compatible software, GP probably blocked 8 out of his or her memory out of pain.

Which has no bearing on whether you want to use Mac OSX. Apple can't lock that down.

Vista, as released, was a disaster. It got better, and when 7 came out it really wasn't that much of a usability improvement over Vista.
