No, it was rarely that, when the US Constitution was written. Usually "war" was whatever the Commander in Chief said, which is why "war" as a declared thing is one of the few things specified and defined in the Constitution.
Long ago, it was *much* cheaper to build than buy. Then Dell came. Dell sold computers for below the retail cost of the components. It became cheaper to buy. It has since remained cheaper to buy, if you match a pre-built system. It's cheaper to build if you spec a system that nobody sells. Systems rarely have vastly different level components. I built myself a gaming rig. It was built to compete with a friend's I spec'ed the best gaming video card for the budget, and did everything else as cheap as possible (while still of acceptable quality). The result was a computer $200 less than my friend's brand new computer, with better FPS for every game we tried. It was much slower at video encoding, but played games better.
Bought computers are hard to get anything that's not "cheap" "middle" "workstation" or "gamer". You can't have a gamer card in a cheap system, or vice versa. Building is good for flexibility, and picking components. Another time I built, I saw the CPUs as having a poor bang per buck, so I built a good system with the cheapest CPU I could find. 2 years later, when the system was pretty bad, I upgraded the CPU and had what would have been a top-end (out of my price range) computer for budget price, though a little late.
So the decision is personal and fluid, though many here think everyone should do as they do, rather than think for themselves.
If you bought a SATA when you wanted a PATA, how would warranty repair help you?
If you can return it to the retailer for a full refund the next day, and get another brand new one, why would you bother with a warranty return of any kind? 4-6 week replacement time at a retailer sounds quite illegal. It's a return of DOA and a new purchase, not a repair at the retail shop.
I don't find them indistinguishable. Run a benchmark, play a game, encode a video, and you'll see the difference.
I could tell you how to see a difference between i3 and i7. But apparently everyone else here thinks that OLED is better, but doesn't know how to describe it to anyone else.
So your argument is that pork is indistinguishable from any other meat? Or are you implying that the only reason my kids don't want my old GS3 is that they recognize OLED and are afraid of it? One of the reasons I bought the GS3 was to have a phone with OLED. It wasn't better than my work phone, an HTC One (an older one, before HTC used OLED). I'm not an Imam teaching a religion. I'm only reporting reality, and that really pisses off the religious spec-worshipers.
However, I don't think it is fair to say that it 'dominates' in any way.
300,000 sales per year. Fairly dominant in the hybrid space.
care to substantiate your claim that a diesel engine would be less efficient than a petrol engine with some references?
No. You don't deserve any references. If you don't know the basics of automotive engineering, you wouldn't understand them anyway. I've already answered, and you just ignored any answer you didn't like. I have no reason to believe that cites would change your rejection of reality. The truth hasn't.
It's not a VPN. They just use VPN protocols to connect two machines, one is the user, and the other is a proxy. VPN is used incorrectly for 90% of "VPN services" out there.
I'd settle for "do anything". Something that's a dumb storage device isn't "management". Maybe that's why so many slashdotters hate managers and management, they don't know what the word means.
When both are black (turned off) they look identical.
Again, you are being obtuse. The only difference between OLED and LCD in regular use under regular lighting is that one is clearly better. I have some directional cat-5 to sell you.
So they all will tell me the last time I visited that site? They'll let me sort/search by keywords inside the URL? Easy drag/drop of bookmarks between folders?
Jaywalking isn't illegal anywhere in the world. Illegally crossing the street is against the law in some places. And jaywalking is a term some people use to describe illegal crossing of the street.
Yes that matters in law. If everyone tomorrow were to call murder "ham sandwich" Then giving someone a "ham sandwich" would be illegal, but it wouldn't be illegal to give someone a sandwich made of ham. What people call the illegal act has no bearing on the legality of something that sounds similar to the common term for an illegal act.
nice non sequitur. The system doesn't work. We can't even get an agreement on what "the system" is supposed to do. And the possible options are unrelated to what actually happens.
So they should call it a Windows Religion. Religions have all of the benefits, and none of the accounting. Religions do blatantly illegal things (like buy spare land, then rent it out for a profit, and roll the profit from that business venture into the church losses, while getting the extra land tax-free). But since nobody wants to go to hell for arresting God, nobody cares about the abuses by religious charities.
And if B&M Gates is poor, try the United Way and the piles of other charitable organizations who exist to solicit donations, skim admin fees off the top, then redistribute the funds to charities they see fit. Any charity that actually does something, even if that something is bad and unneeded, is still better than 90% of the charities out there.
The prisoners have electricity and water, even if monitored and controlled. They have lights out enforced on them and such. Internet is provided at most prisons, on computers that are locked down and heavily monitored, which is why prisoners want other means of Internet, to use it without oversight.
Something can be a fundamental right and still denied to prisoners. The US bans prisoners from voting, owning firearms, and a variety of other things that are "rights". Though many places allow prisoners to vote, i don't know if the UK is or isn't on that list.
The prison can't even keep out contraband. How can it be a safe and rehabilitative environment when tools, toys, and weapons can't be kept out? That's proof of failure right there.
You apparently don't know what the Prius C is. Try again. And it's you changing subjects, I've always had the same subject, Diesel is a poor choice, same as the mayor. You are a Diesel worshiper and are all bent out of shape, so you are making up lies. But if I call you on them, you'll just pretend to be a different AC.
The Prius C is sold as the Yaris hybrid in Europe, and the Yaris is not a D-segment car. You should learn what you are talking about before wrongly lecturing others on it.
I had my 3G and 3GS confused. The 3G was last sold new June 7 2010, and last update November 22, 2010. It's not like I've touched that phone in years. The kids use it as an iPod touch that's big, heavy, with bad battery life, and can't play many modern apps.
I wouldn't count Harrison or Adams as "recent". Roosevelt could be argued to be such, but there was only one father-son pair this generation. Bobby would have made the list, but he didn't live to election day.
A diesel engine may not show its strengths so much for stop-and-go driving as it does for prolonged motorway cruising, but it is still more efficient than a petrol engine under those conditions.
No, it is not. Unless it's used solely as a generator for a pure-EV, it's worse. Diesel is less efficient.
There are very few small hybrid cars, for the simple reason that a battery pack takes up lots of space.
Yeah, the Prius C (selling more in a month than all hybrid Diesels do it a year world wide). One single model from one single maker outselling the entire class of car you are defending from all makers across the world. That's the irrelevancy of Diesel hybrid.
I do not understand what's wrong. Do you want to know which is the best display tech right now and why?
If it's clearly better, why is it not clearly better when two phones are next to each other in regular lighting conditions under regular use?
Downloading special apps and reading spec sheets to find which is theoretically better is a masturbatory act unrelated to which is best.
By your comments, one can only conclude that they are equal, and you have no facts contradicting that, but you prefer OLED.
It's fine to have an opinion, but opinions aren't fact.
I gave you the answers.
You didn't answer what I asked. "How do I tell in a store which is which under normal operating conditions?" isn't answered by "read the spec sheet" or "download a special app".

VPN means "encrypted proxy". Nothing more, nothing less, at least in this context.

Impossible is always code for "I'm too dumb to do it". I hear impossible all the time. And never once has it been true.
