... except that most of the lobby groups would call for us to be at GMT+1 all year round because they want it "lighter later". Screw that. I say the UK should stay at GMT all year round. I want some light to wake up to in winter - waking up in the pitch black is totally depressing.
Why the fuck do you people need the phone to be waterproof? What do you do, deep sea diving with it? While we're talking about "most people" (which is the only thing phone manufacturers care about), how about this: most people don't have any use for a waterproof phone.
PCs held on to Dsub parallel and serial ports and PS/2 ports and floppy drives for many years after Apple kicked them to the curb.
Those things were actually obsolete and replaced by USB. The headphone jack isn't. Many people have excellent quality wired headphones they don't want to ditch, and they sure don't want to put up with proprietary Apple crap that needs to be recharged all the time (Airpods).
I think Apple dropping the 3.5 mm jack is a great opportunity for android phones to promote their inclusion of the jack as a value added feature that their phones provide, but Apple phones lack. Poor iPhone users don't even get a headphone jack with their phones.
Of course, Apple know that "poor iPhone" users are, in fact, rich enough and stupid enough to throw money anything Apple sells, and genuinely believe they're getting the best product.
Indeed. It used to be A1, but they increased it to B1 because fuck immigrants and their families.
Yes indeed, when we have a net increase of half a million people PER YEAR in our population and we are already overpopulated, letting any immigrants who want to enter is not particularly high on my list of priorities.
There is no "extended ASCII table", there's about 500 different code pages. If you're writing anything new that uses characters outside the first 128 you absolutely should use UTF8.
I may be missing something here, but why do manufacturers have to take on the liability? Why can't insurance companies do that? You're merely taking the human factor out of the car insurance quote.
Sounds like you've been unlucky. I'm currently working for an organization that doesn't have perfect management, but generally remote workers are kept in the loop just fine. I've worked for orgs with far worse management and lack of communication where everyone had to go into the office - and the office environment was noisy and distracting. A massive blow to productivity.
Another little symptom of this kind of thing: up until Windows XP, I believe, the default was for UI elements to all have keyboard shortcuts and for the shortcut letter to be underlined subtly. This was an excellent design decision and led me to discover many keyboard shortcuts easily. Then some genius decided it looked to ugly so bam, all the little underlines were gone. All the indicators of the keyboard shortcuts.
Nowadays there often aren't any keyboard shortcuts, because hey, everyone's using touchscreen, right? And otherwise just use the mouse for EVERYTHING. Who gives a shit about productivity?
Umm, no they don't. They're a great way to pointlessly waste space and make people miss when they click on something. Only a very tiny rounding to look a corner seem a little bit harsh is acceptable (and even then, the hitbox should really be a square and merely look rounded).

So does Android.
Hahahahahaha nice try libtard.
... a reality in which Windows 10 doesn't suck?

I don't need "skilled labour" to replace the battery in my LG G3. It's trivial. That's the point. Oh, and it doesn't void my warranty.

Racist against the native whites you mean?
His a moron? Or my a moron?

Wrong.
In OOP it would be array.Sort().

The media basically admitted they were cheerleaders for Clinton, ffs.
Well if it only happens once every 400 years it will NEVER happen!
Liberals believe in building bridges, not walls.
Um, right, so Trump got a free ride from the media?
Four to eight years or when it gets dragged out of his cold, dead hands.
A bit like Obama, then?
(I even have two fiber internet connections at home, no lack of utilities here).
Yes, and also a band of loonies who want to reunite with EU-loving Catholic Ireland. Nice to be living in fear of that.
Or use a GUI that moves stuff to a recycle bin first. :-) It's saved my bacon on more than one occasion.

Rounded corners rule!
Umm, no they don't. They're a great way to pointlessly waste space and make people miss when they click on something. Only a very tiny rounding to look a corner seem a little bit harsh is acceptable (and even then, the hitbox should really be a square and merely look rounded).
