Case in point: there used to be a textile (clothing) industry in Africa, but there isn't anymore, because it's cheaper to ship bails of used clothing collected in the US to Africa than it is to manufacture clothing there. Ever notice in pictures the African natives are always wearing t-shirts that refer to obscure American locations?
My wife called the standard roof in Sierra Leone a "zinc" roof, but I believe it's just corrugated aluminum, not steel. Walls are usually concrete; apparently they don't insulate. I'm not sure what the poor people's huts use for roofs.
You're capable of following the directions on the web to unlock and root your phone -- that's makes you a very atypical phone customer! Most people are too stupid to understand what their carrier is forcing them to do.
One man's "bullshit" is another man's "interesting new science"... even though it may turn out to be just another Pons and Fleischman room temperature fusion.
I still think the phenomena we attribute to dark matter is really caused by clusters of small black holes, but that's another argument I'll probably lose (even though I'm not the only one that has suggested that.)
From an engineering viewpoint, pre-running tunnels large enough to walk through seems like a great idea... until you realize that is the perfect transportation mechanism for rats and roaches to infiltrate every part of your city. And then there's the whole "water runs downhill" problem, e.g. prefab box tunnels tend to flood.
Regenerative breaking make electric or hybrid a big win in city driving, but not so much in constant-speed freeway touring. But... I still want a vehicle with a constant-speed diesel charging batteries that drive a separate motor in each wheel.
Obviously bigger batteries are going to give you more range and possible better acceleration (at the risk of melting the motor). But at some point, aren't you limited by the physical space available to store the battery? Or have they figured out how to pack more kilowatt-hours into the same physical space? I would be inclined to spend more upfront for better range, but I can't afford the Telsa I want anyway.
The Internet of Things. Turns out "Things" are a pretty gossipy bunch! Yes, most wireless-enabled front doorlocks are inherently insecure, I think the Kwikset was they only one they haven't found problems with... yet.
Yeah, power windows and locks are great, until you drive into water, short out the electrical system, and are trapped inside the car. Rule of thumb: EVERY automatic system should have a manual backup! (To BMW's credit, their electric sunroof comes with a crank handle that can be used to close the sunroof when the electric motor fails. Not sure how many other manufacturers do this.)
My friend's mother-in-law used to watch only action flicks, because she spoke only Korean and you don't need to understand English to follow the plot of an action flick!
Like most movies, the ads are advertising the DVD/BluRay release, which will contain all the scenes that were cut from the movie to make it fit the theater timeslot. Just like Batman vs. Superman, shit was cut from the movie. Get over it!
The problem is that the WRONG ones are getting shot. Very few law enforcement officers actually abuse their authority; punishing people at random virtually guarantees you're punishing the wrong guy. Furthermore, cops are now crossing the blue line and ratting out their more abusive brethren, so the system is actually beginning to work the way it is supposed to work. By rights, those who condoned warrantless data gathering will be punished, preferably by a swift end to their career.
More like, "Hey, let's implement this neat feature, and then wait to see if anyone can figure out a way to make it actually useful for something!" When you've got as much cash in hand as Google/Alphabet or Amazon, you can afford to throw a LOT of stuff at the wall just to see what actually sticks.
Agreed, there is nothing there. My point is, all these rethuglicans spouting off about her being a criminal mastermind make themselves look like liars by their own actions, i.e. if the Clintons really were organized crime bosses, wouldn't they be putting themselves in danger by spouting off about it? As my friend Vido says, "There is no Mafia... and we'll kill anyone who says there is!"
Ah yes, the witch hunt defense: "If I'm not a witch, then you're unfairly persecuting me. But if I am actually a witch, aren't you worried about me cursing you and your family FOREVER?!?" If Hillary really does have anyone that threatens to expose her killed... why aren't you more worried about getting killed?
So, are the people that broke the law paying the 10,000 pounds, or is their department? I wish they would have civil penalties for violating rights here in the US as well, our way of dealing with it is to just throw out all evidence obtained via unlawful searches... which only rewards criminals, and does nothing for innocent people whose rights were violated!

How much profit does Google make on each Android phone sold?

By "fucking search engine", you mean the worlds most used widely used service for searching for videos and pictures of people fucking, right?

Exactly how slim are their balls?

The extended cut now pretty much gets released with every DVD/BluRay edition, doesn't it? So yeah, pay another $20 to see the deleted scenes.
I think the Rotten Tomatoes petition was meant as satire/sarcasm... but I'm not absolutely sure.
