I know this is a ridiculous troll, but I'd like to point out that Judaism is not a well organized religion like Catholicism or Mormonism. They don't have a central authority. Teachings vary widely by synagogue, and beliefs vary widely by individual. It doesn't make sense to speak of the "jews" as you do because they are not a cohesive group acting with a single central purpose.
It's true that there are jews who hold positions of authority in the government and in the business world and in the entertainment industry. But many more people carrying out objectionable activities in these areas of society are not jewish. It's not right to try to characterize an entire group of people by the actions of just a few of them. Especially if they aren't even part of a centralized organization.
It's an oversimplification to assume that a company would, or should work to increase battery life. The different features have to be weighed against each other. Performance comes at the expense of battery life. A larger battery would mean a heavier, bulkier phone. Lithium ion batters today have about the same capacity of the batteries which existed when the first iPhone was released, while power efficiency of electronics has increased significantly. They could have used these advances to increase battery life, but have instead chosen to use them to increase performance.
You're talking about ads, but your friend might recommend something to you, and if it's someone you know or trust you are a lot more likely to look at it. And that's something that's probably never going to change. Gossiping would go away before that would.
It is, in fact, the judges job to determine what evidence is admissible in court. The judge has access to all the evidence either side wishes to produce. He is in as good a position as anybody (excepting the prosecution) to know whether evidence is being withheld, and has the authority to hold parties contempt if he finds they are guilty of misconduct, like withholding evidence.
Environmental contamination is easy to detect. Especially if a waterway is being polluted. In fact, it's impossible to hide it if you're polluting a waterway. All you have to do is collect a sample below and above the suspect property, and you can prove without a doubt whether someone is polluting it. And it doesn't really matter how many guns someone else has, you can always shoot them when they aren't expecting it.
Anarchists have many different goals. They aren't an organized group and they don't have a political platform. There are also many different ideas about how a society might work without a government (or similar governing body). So any generalizations you'd like to make about a "unstable state of non-government that can't exist in the real world" are only hypothetical in your own mind. It shows a lack of imagination on your part that you are unable to imagine alternatives. But it would be wrong for me to propose one here and pretend I speak for all anarchists on the matter.
I don't think anyone (even the hardcore so-called "anarchists") would be against a regulation that says, "Don't dump radioactive waste into the rivers. Punishment: Life in prison and all of your assets."
Anarchists, like myself, would not be in favor of such "regulation" as it would be codified in a set of rules and enforced by a government agency. We would rather leave it to the individual to intercede in the case of such destructive behavior, by whatever means may be necessary (ranging from discussing the matter if the person can be reasoned with to shooting him if he can not).
I don't know where you learned to drive, but in Idaho (which some may say is a po-dunk state) you are required to do a lot more than you're describing:
Completing and passing a driver-training program is required for anyone under 17 years old who is applying for an Idaho driver's license. An approved Idaho driver training program consists of a required 30 hours (1,800 minutes) of classroom instruction, six hours (360 minutes) of in-car observation in a driver-training car, and six hours (360 minutes) of behind-the-wheel driving with a driver training instructor. The minimum training period for students attending driver education classes through a public school is 30 days. Commercial (private) schools are not restricted to a minimum training period.
Effective January 1, 2001, anyone under 17 years of age who has not been issued a driver's license in Idaho must successfully complete an approved driver training program and comply with the requirements of the Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) Program. Under the GDL Program, you will be required to complete a minimum six-month violation-free supervised instruction period, during which you must:
be accompanied by a supervising person at least 21 years old with a valid driver's license who is occupying the seat beside you (no other passengers are allowed in the front seat), assure that all occupants are wearing seat belts or child restraints if required, have the Supervised Instruction Permit (SIP) in your immediate possession while driving, observe all laws regarding alcohol and other intoxicating substances, and accumulate at least 50 hours of supervised driving time, ten hours of which must be at night If you are convicted of violating any traffic laws (moving or non-moving), violate any restrictions, or have your driving privileges suspended by the department or the courts while you are operating under the Supervised Instruction Permit (SIP), the permit will be canceled and you must apply for a new SIP. Your minimum six months of supervised driving begins all over again with the issuance of a new permit. You may drive on your SIP for longer than six months if it has not expired.
Once you have successfully met the requirements of the GDL, and are at least 15 years of age, you will be required to take and pass the skills test and the knowledge test before receiving a driver's license. The skills test and the knowledge test may NOT be taken sooner than six (6) months from the date you complete the driver's training course or age 17, whichever comes first. If you fail the written and/or the skills test, you must wait three days before retesting for each failure.
People don't need to be sorted and graded like eggs or meat, because people are capable of selecting a path for themselves. The system you're describing is an assembly line. People will never be able to meet their full potential (academically or otherwise) in a system that dehumanizes them and makes them feel powerless over their own destiny. And a system that objectifies people teaches them to devalue their personal sovereignty and mindlessly submit to authority. That causes social problems on a larger scale because people feel like they aren't responsible for their own actions since they were powerless to do otherwise. They were "just following orders" so to speak.
Your prescription for troubled students is especially off the mark. If a student isn't institutionalizing well, it doesn't mean we should double down on them and try to break their will. It just means that they're ready to grow up and start on their own. They shouldn't have to go to school, and should be able to take a job or an apprenticeship or have something else constructive to do with their time (depending on their age). School isn't for everybody.
Using "except" instead of "accept" essentially reverses the meaning of the sentence, creating confusion in the minds of people like me who know that "except" can mean "to specify as not included in a category or group; exclude."
The iOS developer fee is $100 per year. That doesn't seem costly to me, but people have different ideas about what constitutes an "expensive" purchase. Maybe it's a deterrent to hobbyists, but you'd be hard pressed to find a hobby that people typically spend less than that on either, unless it's urban-forraging or something like that where the goal so to do it for free. In any case, Apple handles all the distribution and provides a relatively safe App store for users so you're getting something for your money.
I start typing a word, and the IDE brings up a list of possible options, I select the one I want and it fills it in. Very little actual typing is necessary.
There's no reason apple couldn't write an iOS IDE for the iPad. You seem to think Apple has some kind of nonsensical vendetta agains developers simply because they won't let you install software from a source other than the App store. FYI, apple makes their developer tools available for free, and they only charge $100 per year to be a part of their developer program (which allows you to submit apps for approval). You seem to be taking that and extrapolating it to a world where Apple actively works to prevent software development on their platform, which makes no sense because the apps are such a large part of their product's appeal.
I use my keyboard less and less for programming. And as others have pointed out, you can get a keyboard for an iPad. People who think this can't happen simply lack imagination.

The blame would be placed solely on the shoulders of the "bible thumpers or skinheads." It wouldn't be inappropriately misdirected at a movie trailer.

Yeah, that's like $700. Who could afford that?

Sometimes you get what you pay for. Developing for Android is free, but there's not much money in it either.
Those are an odd set of requirements. You have a very narrow definition of "software development."

Zimbabweans aren't as stupid as you think (that's why Mugabe has to fix elections). I would know, I've been there.
