HS2 is a rich man's toy. There's far better things to spend the money on. Like improving the existing railway network that's managed to become both overcrowded AND overpriced since privatisation.
HS2 would only relieve overcrowding on one line. And would do nothing to address the overpricing.
He thinks Britain should leave NATO, but recently backtracked [telegraph.co.uk], saying that there's no "appetite" among the public to do so at the moment and he'll respect that.
Since when was a politician listening to what they public want a bad thing?
The current labour leadership are a total joke who will never be elected, so it doesn't matter what they think about anything.
But that's what they said about Corbyn in the Labour Leadership election. He started out a 500/1 outsider. And yet he didn't only win, he's won by a bigger margin than any previous leader.
And you know who else they said was unelectable? Margaret Thatcher. Who went on to win 3 general elections.
20 years ago Budweiser Budvar was a popular drink in the UK. That's what you will have seen. It has absolutely nothing to do with American Budweiser. It's a completely different company and a different brew. It's a good Czech beer.
But more people will have been drinking the many other types of beer.
Stage 1 of the "European approach" has been around for many years: cruise control. It's exactly how it works. It relies on the driver to press the brake when some hazard means it's no longer safe to keep cruising.
Indeed. Drones is just the moral panic du jour. If they were still called "model aircraft" like they were for the last few decades, there wouldn't be all this irrationality about them.
I don't buy your argument that you would need two devices. Web browsing is not noticeably better with touch.
It is irrrational to use a tablet for coding. You compromise on input devices, and you cpompromise on power. And if you think you don't need power for coding, you've never tried to build a real application with Android Studio.
The only reason(s) that you mentioned in this film were you incorrect belief that there were not mounts for iPhones to fit on tripods and steadi-cams. Nothing else. You have literally no argument.
As you say graphic designers and other people that have to sketch things are going to love it. Another professional use case is for salesmen. It's all very well going to a customer and plugging a laptop into their projector in a conference room to show them things. But a smaller one to one system is also useful. In the old days salesmen used to used printed material in books of PVC wallets to present. Imagine sitting at a desk opposite a buyer. Place the iPad on the desk so that you both can see it. (You upside down, but it's a presentation that you already know).
RAM, Flash, CPU power (although that's getting close), the extremely restrictive sandbox, the lack of arbitrarily windowed multi-processing apps. Touch input not being good for locating a text cursor. (compared with mouse/trackpad) etc.
If you're going to use a foldy cover to prop the iPad up, and a keyboard so it physically resembles a laptop, why not just use a laptop.
iPads are great for some things. Development isn't one of them.
Pretty stupid to call people who know more about the business than you do "idiots".
You can of course get better movie cameras than an iPhone. But the iPhone is a better camera than professional digital cameras of only a few years ago. So it's not a bad choice at all for making indie movies.
Not an individual winning stock (though you may still call me an idiot), but the S&P 500 is up about 60% over the past 10 years, a time period including the massive drop in 2008-09, and the smaller, but significant drop of the last couple of months. That's an annualized return of about 4.7%.
But you're still using hindsight. Who's to say an investor would have bought the S&P 500 10 years ago, rather than some other stock investment, or a different period.
And if they did... you are only considering the raw index. To actually track the S&P 500, you have to pay fees to a fund manager.
Now consider how much you could have made on real estate.

roman_mir, I'm pretty certain the majority of the Slashdot readership would say it's you who is insane.
Oh the royal family won't be ignored by Corbyn. He'll continue to to point out that they are an anachronism with no place in the 21st century.
You're a far-right loon. Of course everything looks left wing to you.
"By US standards" is irrelevant to the UK.
By rest-of-the-entire-world standards, everyone in American politics is right wing. Meaning that anyone in the Republican party is far right.
This question that you are asking time and time again. This was BEFORE Corbyn was a party leader. And the answer to whether there is another one is:
YES.
In fact there's two of them. Nick Clegg, former leader of the Lib Dems, and Tim Farron, current leader of the Lib Dems both appear on that list.
YOU LOSE.
And you lose big time because you repeated the question so many times, unaware that you were wrong.

Russia basically endorsed him today.
Russia basically pointed out that Cameron is a moron today:

"Trickle-down economics" is a left-wing straw man.
So what *is* the purpose of policy designed to make the rich richer?

I've been a developer for 30 years. There's nothing in that post I am wrong about.

Whats the thing that you do that requires a tablet?
Reality is you were wrong las usual.
You seem to think that was a one off. It's not.

Keep wallowing in your ignorance.

Are you to dump to grasp it?
Always funny when someone misspells an insult.
Every tree which is not converted to coal or oil, or more precisely: which is not covered by water or earth, for what ever reason
That's not every tree then is it. So it's not 100%. So it's not a zero-sum game. If you understand what zero-sium means.
The hydro carbons of fossile fuel are not "rotten" ...
Well indeed. That's why your zero-sum game claim was nonsense.
