Rotten Tomatoes sure spammed the h*ll out of Wikipedia! How they managed to get away with that without being shut down by the powers that be is beyond me!
Or maybe they caught the fancy of the same OCD autists who love the word "portmanteau" and they spread the spam far and wide... who knows?
A complete ban, or just less than .5g/serving?

FDA Bans Trans Fat
·
· Score: 2
Right now, a serving of food can contain.4g of transfats per serving and legally list "0g transfats" on the label.
Does the FDA regulation still allow this, or will partially hydrogenated oils of ANY amount be banned?
It will be interesting to see what coffee creamers like CoffeeMate will do, since they use a tiny 1 teaspoon serving size and are something like 50% trans fats so they can easily say "0 trans fats" on the label. Most people use something like a tablespoon and end up with a gram of a half of the transfats in their coffee.
There's the rub though - if you are a sports fan, it is very very difficult to "cut the cord". ESPN knows this and unlike many other channels they have a ton of leverage because of it. In a very real sense, they are the sole remaining profit center for cable TV.
If you do, you do not really understand or care about your developers and unless you can tempt them with FU money, they aren't going to want to work there.
Because they both compile to IL, VB was forced to add up all the C#/C++ constructs (eg exception handling, etc) and it lost it's "ease of use/newbie" value when it became VB.NET. Don't you remember all of the screaming that non programmers did when they switched? They couldn't follow along.
I suspect the special issue here is they don't want ANY of some types of streaming, even if it low bandwidth. So they want to be able to inspect what is being sent across. You can stream audio at relatively low bandwidth, and so if they simply throttled the bandwidth that may allow people to make a phone call, which is a huge no no on most carriers.
This fails for people who send emails for a living, can't bring their laptop everywhere, and are not in a private location situation to use voice to text.
Except....your last sentence doesn't apply to the historical users of slide phones: People who send emails for a living. They may need that keyboard at night. Lets call them power users. The rise of the everyman using these phones means that the phone makers can ignore the power users and still make money.
I also do not agree with your reasons for why they are not produced - your suggestions have been refuted elsewhere in the comments - For examples, the keyboards have been very reliable and rarely fail.
Younger people also do not use email for a living. They send short and sweet social messages by text or facebook.
The number of people who send email for a living is still the same, but the number of people who use the phone as a glorified web browser only has grown exponentially to the point that power users can now be ignored and a big profit still can be made.
Do you need to send emails for work? I suspect that this lack of understanding of why people like physical keyboards is that email is out of favor for social/casual users of the internet. They do phone activities by text or facebook. Short and sweet social messages.
Once you have to send work emails in situations where you do not have your laptop you would probably change your tune.
To answer your question - thicker and heavier (and even cooler) take a far backseat to the physical keyboard for people who send emails for a living.
The Enact is not a world phone like Droid 4 was. If you need a slider because you send business emails, there's a decent chance you will find yourself in foreign countries.
Phones can be configured such that the email looks normal.
Again, assuming you have a job that requires you to occasionally email customers while on the go..... You already have a smartphone. Why not use it with a physical keyboard instead of carrying around a laptop?
Never had a problem with the keyboards with any of the droid sliders I have owned (currently have a Droid 4).
A big issue, which you dismiss, is that you lose half of the screen real estate to the keyboard, which can be a big pain.
Finally, the pain of entering non-standard text (or even capitalization) seems to have led to very poorly written posts on various message boards (no capitalization, or lack of symbols used)

I always used to laugh out loud when I saw a quote in the paper about a film and it was from Travers. Pretty much that told me to avoid the film.
You can tell he's the critic of last resort that studios call upon when they have a bomb on their hands.
The ICCT report came out in November. There was no explanation for the discrepancies in that report, but I am not surprised the media reported on it.
Volkswagen only explained what they did to cause the discrepancies recently, hence the scandal.
This document shows the schedule for which camera will be taking what photos, the quality of the photos, and when they will be transmitted to earth:

Right, the headline should replace "Docker-like containers" with "Linux-like containers" and then it would be correct.
Look up Flywheel.com. It is the defacto Taxi dispatch app in San Francisco now.

They make it very clear what the restrictions are before you pay.

Carl Sagan even had a chapter about it and a photo in the book Cosmos from 1980. That's where I first read about this as a boy.

LOL. No capitalization whatsoever. Did you post this from your touchscreen phone where the shift key is a PITA?

>A couple of paragraphs is a "significant amount[s] of typing" for you?
Yes, it is enough typing that I would want a physical keyboard. It's not just one email either.
Those websites are way out of date. The Droid 4 is no longer available on Verizon and that is just one example.
Many of those kind of websites update the "change date" to attract google page rank, even when the content has not changed in years.
I put into that website "Verizon", "Available in US", "Slider" and "World Roaming".
Nada.
These were the capabilities of the Droid 4.
Buy a new in box Droid 4 on eBay asap. I figure you have another year before they are hard to find.
