Google got search right (or good enough) at the time there was no incumbent. Alta Vista dropped the ball for no apparent reason and it landed at Google's feet.
Everything else they've done had been mediocre at best. That or they bought it in, *then* made it mediocre after optionally fucking the UI up. If by pure dumb luck some renegade skunk works cowboy lunchtime side project makes something even half useful they discontinue it.
You wouldn't get The Queen(GBH,SDAMJ,IALOLBINYO) doing that, and no mistake. Proper Lady she is. Not one blinkin' dicky about Brexit, even if it did mean she'd need a visa to visit most of her relatives.
I have lots of experience with little shits who try to play word games
Experience is one thing, and unremarkable because everyone has it. The faculty of learning from? Dear fellow, that's another thing entirely. -- W.S. Churchill.
If meat eating was the sin you declare, the Inuits would have caused a total collapse of the arctic ecosystem long ago, as their diets consist alomost totally of meat.
That logic would work if, at some point in time, there'd been seven billion of them.
Think of two linked sliders. As the one for "percentage of meat in diet" moves up, the one for "total sustainable population" moves down.
How aluminium do you get from a certain amount of bauxite. Got to be less than 100%, unless phlogiston really is a thing after all. By my reckoning it's about half, tops.
So why would it make sense to dig out & transport two tons of ore instead of one ton of metal that's literally just lying there?
Or maybe there was deadlock between the different sects, and they were all afraid of the others getting the power - so they dropped it, no doubt with a plan B of sneaking something in if they got the opportunity
It doesn't alter the fact that there's more overt religious symbolism around all the paraphernalia of government than you'd see in most other countries. Leaving aside the Vatican, maybe.
Can you see an atheist president happening any time soon?
what in reality you're asking our species, as a whole to do, is to evolve faster.
Many years ago a lecturer told me - course about HCI - that the key thing is to know your users. "Twenty generations back, they lived in caves. A hundred before that and they were swinging from trees," he said.
I think his numbers were a bit off[1] but the sentiment's about right.
As for the rest? What you say makes sense, but it doesn't stand a chance against "freaduhm!" and 'lohur taxus!".
People who insist on rules like that would do so, regardless of religion.
In theory they could. In reality, those who actually do push for such laws are almost entirely motivated by religion. They're much more alike than similar in that regard.
But don't insist that I have to pay for your liver transplant
I'm sure the man upstairs will ensure that you never need one.
And being gay is most defintely[sic] a choice.
Not sure that it's true anyway, but is it relevant? Let me guess, you think it's a wrong one.

If you're going to use outfits like that you need people in-house who can write really good specs. Trouble is people like that are quite rare.
If Tata built a house it'd have doors where you asked for them but they wouldn't open because "contract was not saying this thing".
Even if you didn't, the procedure is pretty simple: don't get a signal where you are? Move.
Well if I want to go somewhere now, it's the bike or walk. You can't drive vapourware.
Yes. First, two wrongs don't make a right. Second, sweeping generalisations are always wrong.
Why would a dragon take a load of spotty gits and store them in a cave?

It's where Piggly Winks lives.
To be fair, Mint also gives a number and the names are in alphabetical order. That's two more kinds of logic than the toddlers at Debian.

I think msmanisHD has trademarked a hat, or something.

Does "conflict of interest" mean something else on your planet?
Unfortunately the latest issue has an article about systemd on page 1 so it won't open beyond that point.

I drank a cotton gin once. Tasted fucking awful, no matter how much tonic I added.
For the fraud their banks pulled they deserve it. Chuck some spent nuclear fuel in for good measure.

Plus the plastic that can be reused to make new shit is made into new shit where? China.

[1] No, it wasn't that long ago. Cheeky!
As others have already pointed out, ships are going back empty anyway.
At least we won't have to ask permission from the barmy Brussels bureaucrats, thanks to that nice Mr. Farage.
He's always so well turned-out, isn't he?

Well it works at that. However it enables exactly the reverse to happen - a rural minority can impose its will on an urban majority.
