It's much more likely it's a grammatical error by a non-native speaker. It's a pretty standard grammatical error for non-native speakers to make, but you almost never see it from native speakers.
Actually Apple is the only company that makes a trackpad that isn't garbage. Nothing else is even close. And apple keyboards are great. And this is from a guy who uses a RealForce topre keyboard at home and a Cherry (Brand) with red switches at work. I type in the 120-130 wpm range and as far as laptop keyboards go, Apple makes a really great keyboard for a 13" laptop. The key travel and rebound is great, and the keys are pretty accepting off off center strikes.
Uh, it has multiple ethernet ports? I have a usb ethernet adapter that I bought, like an idiot apparently, because I've never used it. And it's a 2010 that still works perfectly. I keep hoping it will break because I want to buy a new one with a backlit keyboard but the damn thing just wont quit. It literally looks like the day I bought the damn thing. Just upgraded to mavericks and it runs like a champ.
Macbook display quality is about a thousand times better, and there's literally no comparison in the trackpads and keyboards either. What you have is a vastly inferior Macbook Air,, but at a great price. I'm sure for the money it's a great little laptop, but the Air is a far superior machine.
He's not a yank, you can tell from his grammar. "I had a Scandinavian girlfriend at some time". At one time, for some time, etc, but never "at some time".
I should hope that if somebody in (say) the UK ripped off a few thousand Russian pensioners over the internet, that the Russians could have him handed over (and thrown in Russian PMITA prison) quickly.
I would support this 100%. You go to Russia and commit a crime then Russia has every right to prosecute you for it.
Because there may be a better way to accomplish it. If your kid came to you and said dad can I get a rope, three pounds of butter and a mule? Would you give it to him or ask what he was trying to accomplish?
Because they are pieces of art. The combination of form, function and movement is inherently beautiful.

Ironically, this is exactly what your post made me think. It's 2014 and someone on Slashdot is asking what the performance and security considerations of virtualization are? Really? Every one of your questions is answered within about 30 seconds of Googling and reading.
It's similar, it's a linux container technology. It also uses a couple of newish features in the kernel to give you a little more control over your containers (namely, cgroups and namesakes). But if you're familiar with containers then you already know what docker is, at the basic level.
They exist so that the software keyboard can move out of the way and the input mechanism can be changed by software. It's a trade off. You trade the ability to type more quickly for a per application, software defined user interface.

You forgot communication. Phone calls, email, text messages, facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Snapchat, Yik Yak (I could go on for a while).
The last two cars I've owned (BMW and now Audi) have hit the manufacturer's numbers exactly. I've been shocked, frankly, by how accurate the estimates were.
Right now I have up to 150Mb/s in my service area (with SpeedBoost) and I've seen 177Mb/s sustained for several minutes before dropping down to 150Mb/s. Routinely see 150Mb/s, no problem. This is Cox, not Comcast. Cox is actually pretty good.
Cox already offers 150Mb/s service with a 400GB monthly cap in many, many markets. That's over 26 straight days, 24 hours a day, of streaming Netflix in HD. If for some bizarre reason you need more than that, you can purchase business class service with no cap.
Right now in my market Cox offers a 150Mb/s (with Speedboost, I have seen 177Mb/s) with a 400GB/mo cap. That's about 85 720p Bluray downloads per month or 640 hours (26 days, 24 hours a day!) per month of Netflix HD video streaming. I'm sure there are corner cases where people need more than that, but we've got to be talking a fraction of 1%. And in those cases, they can just opt for business service with no data cap. It's really not THAT unreasonable. Of all the Cable companies, Cox is probably the least awful.

Quick, change the argument to something else!

Step 1: Get an electronic whiteboard.
"Square" Wheel
God forbid someone try to make something more efficient using technology. Electronic whiteboard alone was a massive improvement.
I'd love to see this...

Buy lead box. Place over router.
So if anyone is interested, I'm developing a new device called the Comcast Fucker(tm). Its a lead shield that you place over your home WiFi router.

What are you talking about, I watch Netflix via Cox every day. We have 150Mb/s for $87/mo.
