But what about the state of drivers? You didn't even seem to consider that. Just by looking at other Android devices out there, you should be able to see that Android is a serious competitor to iOS, and not the hokey joke you claim it is.
1) Nonsense. Most people don't ride their bikes from town to town, they just ride them in the town/city, on the well-maintained bike paths. Unless the US has miles of open wilderness between each individual building in a city, yours is a nonsensical argument.
2) More nonsense. Bike paths quickly encourage a correct etiquette, and a sign every mile or so saying "keep right" or "cycles have priority" helps that immensely. Cyclists have their own system of paths, separate from those of car drivers.
3) Unless all of the US has these horrific winters, and none of Europe does, again, this is nonsense. Karlsruhe, where the bike was invented, can go from feet of snow in the winter to scorching summers.
I don't know where you're getting your information from, but it sucks.
Nearly. Terrorism is a motive, not an action. Terrorism is the use (or threat) of force in order to politically coerce a people.
Your Sioux example isn't really terrorism, as the motive behind the flooding would not be to scare people, but to divert resources (money). Running people off their land is also not terrorism, as the goal is to destroy a people, which is not coercion but genocide.
Terrorism isn't what someone does, it's why someone does something.
No - that's just being an asshole. Terrorism is the threat, or use of force in order to coerce a people into political change. 15 minutes of fame doesn't quite meet the requirement.
So you are cherry-picking the metrics by which you reach your result. Gotcha. Wonderfully illuminating, and a benefit to all society. It doesn't matter how much fiber the US is rolling out compared to anywhere else - the benefits are not being passed on to the customers, which is what really matters. Infrastructure means squat when it's not being utilized. Prices in the US are high, and the service is terrible. Some geographic areas are improving, but some are getting worse. No legitimate issues? Get a grip.
"Cloud" refers to the VMs being somewhere else, usually accessible over the internet or private network. Cloud computing is a superset of virtualisation. Getting all angry because the two ideas overlap is not going to help you.
In total it takes about 7 months. That is still a lot faster than building traditionally. Moving the fabrication to a factory, where the environment is controlled and heavy, more permanent machinery can be installed and used, clearly is more efficient.
Hardly - the police in the UK are overseen by the public. If they fuck up, they do get punished. They also do not routinely carry guns, which further distances them from their US counterparts (who do seem more cowboy-esque by comparison). You are confusing the law makers with the thin blue line itself. Don't.
1. They are not always recording 2. When they are recording or taking pictures, a bright LED on the front lets you know they're doing that. 3. Recording requires voice or hand gestures, easily noticeable to those around the user.
So either be scared of cellphones and camcorders, or get a new reason to hate Glass.
Incorrect: It does have a bright "recording" LED on the front which lights up when video or photos are being taken. It would help your argument if you knew what you were complaining about before actually complaining.
It takes more than the metadata being stripped - the content in question has to be removed from the author's site or all attributions of the media to the author have to be removed from across the internet. Just stripping the metadata isn't enough, clearly.
No, the work must be entirely anonymous - that is, no copy of it with attribution can exist within reasonable reach of the person looking for it. Just stripping metadata isn't enough if the work exists elsewhere with proper attribution. If you have made an awesome picture and have it on your blog - that's enough to protect it. If you make an awesome photo and upload it to some website anonymously with no contact information, then it's public domain. That seems fair enough to me.
How do you think they get the co-ordinates for the cell tower? Even if you don't personally use satellites, you undoubtedly rely on services that do, even if you are unaware of it.

He said "has" not "has had".
You are woefully ignorant of the science at hand. Woefully. It's sad.

There are loads of internet-based groceries delivery services which are doing really well. You are not everyone.

Tobias?
It's not even that complicated for most users - simply shut down MySQL, point MariaDB to the MySQL configuration, start MariaDB, and that's it.
I was unaware all the traffic laws in the world are identical. I guess I learned something today.
Alex Jones? Ha! You deserve everything you get for peddling that lunatic's insanity.
You're proud because someone else did something? Eh?
Let's not talk about USB drives when trying to make Linux look good - my external USB drives jump all over the place in Ubuntu.

If you trivialise anything down to the point if inanity, as you did, of course you can make it sound pathetic. Take this example:
> When moving atoms around is considered a serious crime...
could easily cover manipulating single atoms, or stabbing someone in the face with a chainsaw.
Copyright infringement for commercial gain is a criminal act, and justifiably so.

You can only upgrade from one version to the next - you can't skip a version.
