Counter point: Open source software is the only source of hard crashes (where the system had to reboot) that i've seen in almost 20 years. I suffer no "abuse" from MS because the user experience has been flawless for me, but if you want to keep making up scarecrows, just know you clearly aren't familiar with the MS-home user experience, anymore.
Can you think of any good targets? Religious radicals with a...vehemently...nostalgic enthusiasm for an imaginary medieval ideal tend not to be on the cutting edge of technology and culture production.
So... what? Did they deface hack into 19000 websites and deface them using sticks and throwing stones?
Because the manufacturer has lower costs. The price they give to dealers includes the manufacturer's profit. The dealer has to increase price over what they pay for it to make a profit. If the manufacturer sells directly in competition with a dealership, the manufacturer could undercut the dealership so the dealership can't make a profit thereby guaranteeing sales and killing the competition through forced losses.
The original vehicle manufacturers made a huge mistake to allow dealership franchises and we all are paying for it (literally) now.
You can't prove me without me intervening somehow in your life. If I had the ability to watch you from the Moon and you possessed no telescope, you wouldn't be able to prove me, either.
Basically *anything* can be proven, but very little can be completely disproven. The only thing we can reasonably do is to stop trying to prove it and start working on more meaningful proofs that we *can* attain.
Your 3rd paragraph does appear to be spot on. Just saying.
But, if Zeus was right, we'd be worshipping Zeus and the Christian God would be a tale told in D&D. Same goes for Odin.
This is not saying the Christian God is obviously right because he's worshipped more widely--just that your implied assertion that "because it could be any of them means it's probably not any of them" is wrong.
Having used two iPhones over the last five years, I've experienced many upgrades.
My first was an iPhone 3G (not 3GS), and through three iOS upgrades, performance didn't slow down because of the OS. Performance slowed when the apps updated themselves to newer versions and assumed everyone had the newest shiny phones---not Apple's fault.
My second is an iPhone 4S. Over 3 iOS upgrades, now, performance hasn't dropped by any noticable degree except for, once again, when apps individually update and assume they are only being used on iPhone 6s.
I would like to see evidence of this "well-documented" phenomenon because I don't see it in real life.
"Too many to name" is not an excuse to not justify a statement. It should always be followed by notable examples so that sources and claims can be checked. Otherwise, it's an impossible statement to defend against and fact-check, and that kind of statement has no place in debate.
So, please, name a few so we can see how accurate that statement is.
Not as such. The command was to spread the word about the glory of God and the promises He made. Going to hell isn't one of the promises; not spending eternity with him was. There isn't a whole lot of tangible information on what happens if you're a non-believer or a believer who falls short.
Either way, if someone refuses the word of God, the instruction is DBAD (Don't Be A Dick).
Mai Bad. I think I may have misunderstood. It's unclear that he shared it at all. It was just the prompt to share it that was offensive, and that makes the offence a lot more understandable.
Also, those "Year in Review" things don't get posted to your timeline until you click the "Share" button. He openly admitted that he didn't look at the preview and then clicked Share anyway? And he blames Facebook?
My heart feels for him and his loss, and I respect Facebook Administration for their apology, but this guy never should have shared his year in review.
Hmm... maybe it's just me, but I've been playing my Xbox One all morning (since 4:30am local time, actually. My usual work-day has me leaving the house at 5am, so this is normal for me). Guess at least one company didn't screw themselves over.
Unlike Darts and Snooker, e-sports like Star Craft drive people to the upper edges of reaction time, and strategic thinking--much like the modern Olympics mostly push people to the upper edges of strength, speed, and agility. If there's going to be a serious argument to allow it, that's the reason that will be the basis for it.
Disclaimer: I don't believe e-sports should be part of the main Olympics, but if there was a digitally-focused Olympics, or if many e-sports got together to host sort of their own style of the Olympics, I'd be supportive of that.
I'm 6'2" and I've never driven a Sedan where I couldn't lower the seat so I look beneath the rearview mirror. My current car is a Toyota Yaris and I definitely don't have an issue with that.
or maybe his city, like mine, doesn't have 24/7 traffic jams as yours must for this to be a valid argument.
I used to walk 1.5 hours to get to work because the bus took 1hr 20mins AND i had to wait an average of 20 mins for it in the first place (45-mins between busses). Then I bought a car and turned it into a 12-minute drive.
The acts of ISIS are not the acts of devout religious believers; they are the acts of fanatical religious extremists. While they are very devout believers in what they've been taught, their acts are not supported by the vast majority of those who share the same religion. Don't let a vocal minority colour your view of the entire group.
2. Could you develop the same technology more cheaply, without building huge science experiments? No. Of course not. Who would spend their whole career perfecting some obscure device if there wasn't a chance of participating in a great discovery? Industry just can't generate that kind of motivation.
To agree with you, I would say we've seen the example of Industry's idea of advancement in the automobile industry: The major manufacturers kept making almost solely gasonline-only vehicles with only minor incremental advancements until they were required by legislation to make alternatives available to the public, and when they whined about how much it would cost, the (North American) governments gave them subsidies for these new lines of vehicles...
...That is, until an outsider decided to enter the market and shake things up with a huge divergence from the norm.
I don't think we can trust Industry to make the kinds of advancements we need to be able to continue the improvement of our understanding of Science at an acceptable rate. If we left it to Industry, we'd still be riding horses to get around.
Not that most police forces use radar, anymore. They use laser-detectors that are pointed directly at the people being measured. That means you only detect the signal once you've been scanned, so your detector will tell you basically whether or not to expect a ticket in the mail, or whether or not you should expect to be pulled over in the next few seconds.
Not so. When there are articles about governmental offices switching whole-hog to open source software, that shows immediately that there is an awareness among the general public. When there is an article about one minister claiming open source software isn't working for his office and another minister countering that claim saying no one in the office has had an issue, there's a strong suggestion that there is an awareness of open source software. When an open source OS is advertised as being superior to a closed source competitor, there's absolutely going to be an awareness of open source and free software (Android vs iOS).
While this may still be professional click-bait, I think calling it trolling is, itself, putting the cart before the horse.
- Hours, days, weeks of waisted time in Installations configurations and updates.
My system installs configuration updates at night or in the background and only reboots when I'm not using it, so no wasted time.
- Bad style, and ugliness
Subjective. I quite like the style and presentation of Windows all the way through Windowss 8.1 although Metro apps are a slight nuisance, but I've never used any open source tool that has better style than its Windows-equivalent, including Apache/Libre/Open Office, The GIMP, Firefox, nor anything made by Google (and if you try to claim Google Docs is somehow better than MSOffice, I guess everyone will now how full of shit you are).
- Slowness and retarded technology
Well, slowness is measurable, but as with your first false claim, it doesn't impact me in meaningful ways. "retarded" technology, however, is subjective and also not something someone should try to hold against MS given how many terrible, terrible OS tools exist.

What? So an accuracy rate of 99.99992% isn't good enough? I suppose we can trust Google to top that.

Let's phrase it another way: "Group who is funded to study AGW claims AGW exists so the Group can continue to receive funding."

Not so. When there are articles about governmental offices switching whole-hog to open source software, that shows immediately that there is an awareness among the general public.
