... especially when they've released 3 different phones since then...
Its generations not phones that matter. The direct successors to the 5 are the 5X and 6 and the 5X is still a current model. So the 5 is only one generation removed from the current model and has the same screen, same amount of RAM, and only a slightly slower CPU/GPU which is still vastly overpowered for what millions of Android uses typically do.
No your are wrong, after the 5 came the 6, that was the next generation, then the year after they release the 5x & 6p at the same time so that will be the second generation. When they release the updated OS this year they are supposed to release 2 new phones again so that will be the 3rd generation. If each phone was manufactured by the same company I would agree with you on the generation thing, but since they pick a new maker every year, the generation thing really doesn't come into play.
That is googles right, they are a for profit company, and does anyone realistically expect them to support a phone forever, especially when they've released 3 different phones since then. Besides they aren't forcing a damn thing, if you like your old phone with the software already on it then keep your old phone. If you want the new OS then get a new phone. What were you expecting, for google to give you updates until the the end of time?
I travel to Poland every year for 3-4 weeks and I only end up spending $15-20 extra for that time for my calls back to the US which is not bad at all. That is way less hassle then buying a sim card from some company out there and having a second number and everything.
Yes, and I also don't really see a price difference, you can get 4k smart tv's for$1000 in the 55 inch range, I see 1080 ones the same size maybe $100-200 less, and sometimes even more expensive.
I have a fleet of 20 semi-truck, and I keep an old tanker in my yard, I call various fuel companies and they will come and fill my tanker with 3000 gallons, no problem. I've been getting fuel this way for over 10 years now, so I don't see this as much different, as long as they guy making the delivery is trained properly then there shouldn't be an issue. Yes I've had stuff happen, like one time when they were filling his hose decided to pop and spilled maybe 20-30 gallons of fuel before he could shut the pump off, they carry enough pads and blocker bags to clean up small messes, or hold back a big mess long enough for someone to come and clean it up properly.
Oyua, enough said.
The king of gaming PC's has always been Microsoft because windows works better with vast amount of various hardware out there. One could make the argument that more people play games on their phones and tablets now than on PCs, which is probably true, but most people still see the guy sitting playing on his PC or console when they hear the word GAMER.
I agree, I would have thought that at the most once the XB1 was a year old they would have stopped, just use up most of the parts they already had ordered or something.
There is and there isn't, it all depends on the source, if your watching cable tv, then not really, if your on a blue ray, or even netflix, then the 4k looks better. I had a 50 in Phillips 1080 tv for many years and it was fine, but when I finally upgraded to a 4k, I do notice a difference, especially when i switch to a channel that is broadcasting on like 720 or something, the lower rez looks like crap.
How is this an interesting idea? Whoever wrote this story originally is an idiot, you never make anything less safe, for any reason, once you start down that road of thought you might as well shoot people across the city by catapult.
Yes you can, this type of situation is not praised on a regular basis, it does happen all the time. Usually it is just some drunk unruly guy gets kicked out of a bar, no one cares about that. If you do something at a store, and they deam it inappropriate and you get banned from the premises, then it's really not that different.
I agree with you on the basic health care issue, but totally disagree on the unions. I think there should be less of them, 50+ years ago they were a necessary, now they are just evil. The only people profiting off of unions are the upper management, the regular guys are just scraping by most of the time.
If you look at it, this is the natural evolution of military tech, I do not see this any difference to drone pilots and artillery. The main objective is to kill the enemy before he can even see you.
I agree, they totally missed the mark with him, all the trailers and everything made it look like he was to become a jedi, and basically he just carries the light saber around the whole movie. He never really uses it effectively, and they same thing with Captain Phasma, she was bad ass looking, but does absolutely nothing in the movie. Don't get me wrong, I like an action movie, Michael Bay would have put less action in this thing if he was the director of it.
There is one thing I do have to say, Thank God that there was no real lens flare in this movie.
Would you be comfortable with having the online database of gun owners publicly searchable?
Yes then the criminals will know where not to go. They will be able to see I have guns at my house, and they should really think twice before trying to break in.
I run a local trucking company just outside of chicago, and the current state of automated trucks is a joke, they still have along way to go. I could see a yard stopper being automated moving trailers between a parking lot and the docks, but not anything more than that for a long time. The brake systems are run on AIR, so in the winter when everything starts to freeze then you still need someone to pound on them with a hammer to for the pads to release from the drums. Plus it would require a complete redesign of the way the electrical cord and air lines are hooked up from the truck to the trailer, right now the only way to do it is by hand. There are many, many old docks that were even designed for the current max truck length of 53ft, and are supper hard to get into. I just don't see one of those self driving things backing up across 4 lanes of street with normal traffic on it, and then down an alley.

Yes, but 3 or 4 configurations is much easier to deal with then the almost infinite processor/ram/gpu/hard drive configurations out there.

Holy krap 30+ gb a month, what the hell is she doing to use that much? My average is just under 3 gb, and I thought was a lot.

Haven't companies like caddilac, and mercedes already been doing HUDS for years now?

If you're a poor family and you can barely pay rent, then you're not building a new house.

The start offering companys that pay a fee the ability to be white listed and let their calls trough anyway.
Skifree, that's all you need, I spent many hours on that game eaten by the snowman a million times.

They are still around for about 2 million people that are to far out anywhere to get regular dsl or cable internet.

3 times the rent for half the space if your lucky, it's more like 5 times the rent for a shoe box.

You have never backed with a 53ft trailer, have you?
