Then again, they get Trump, too. You seem to view elections as a kind of a competition sports game, but it isn't. It sets policies for the next few years, hence voting out of spite is stupid. And given that Trump's policies will harm his voters way more than they will harm prosperous urbanites - and seriously, worst thing that might happen to a typical well-off city dweller during Trump years would be living with the thought that the president of their country is a goddamn clown - a hillbilly having voted for Trump out of spite is, in fact, double stupid and pretty much proves GP's point.
Would you feel better if I call it a "goddamn capacitive display"? HTC HD2 had a capacitive touchscreen and I hated it. I prefer resistive touchscreens, they are much more precise and can be operated with anything.
All Bluetooth headphones I've ever owned, be it the cheap and crappy Motorola HT820, the somewhat better Philips SHB9250, cheap but good August EP650 and the quite expensive Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless, had either a 3.5mm or a 2.5mm port precisely for that.
Yep, I liked my WM phones as well, starting with the very first XDA and ending with HTC HD2 (although the latter wasn't as comfortable to use as expected due to the bloody capacitive display). Some functionality was way better than even on current android phones.
Trolley buses are - unfortunately - only widespread in the former soviet union and its client states (for some reason soviet government seriously loved trolley buses, they have even built a trolley bus line in Afghanistan, back then they were there). Everywhere else they are far less common, except maybe in very hilly cities. Here in Germany so far I've only seen them in Solingen, but it was a decade ago, they might have replaced them with diesel buses by now. I also remember these yellow Ikarus trolleys in Weimar from my childhood, but that doesn't count because it was GDR.
Nope. The Boeing Everett factory is a larger building. And if we go by the factory complex, not just a single building, then there are far, far larger ones. The Kamaz site, for example, has about the same size as Sunnyvale, CA.
Come on, typical European 40 ton semitrailers (TGA, Actros, Stralis) have 300 kW motors. That is very close to the Tesla S motor. There are already 18 ton electric delivery trucks out there. You seriously claim that a large car (and F-150 is exactly that) hauls more than that?
Top Sandy Bridge is a Xeon E5-2690 which has a passmark score of 20699 at 135W TDP. I personally have bought a E5-2665 a few months ago, for only 70 Euros. Not bad for a CPU with a passmark score of 12084. Finding a motherboard was a bit difficult, though. Then again used ECC RAM is far cheaper than desktop RAM. Top Ivy Bridge by the way would be also a Xeon E5-2690, but this time V2. Passmark says 16546. Costs some serious money, though whereas the still very fast V1 can be bought for about 300 Euros.
Impractical fantasy you say? There is also a 1 km liquid nitrogen cooled superconducting installation in Essen that has been working just fine as a part of Essen power grid for several years already. This installation has replaced a 100kV AC powerline. No helium was needed and not that much liquid nitrogen either thanks to a good insulation. It just works.The reason for that installation was a different one, though - there was no room left in the underground channels for additional power lines and that superconducting cable transfers 5 times as much power as a normal copper cable with the same diameter.
I personally can read sans serif much faster - the letters have clear outlines without flourishes. Serif fonts tire me out, some are almost as bad as blackletter. There are no studies that conclusivly prove the allegedly better legibility of serif fonts. My guess is that people who had these slight comprehension difficulties with reading sans serif were simply more familiar with serif fonts. Younger generatios, who are nowadays more familiar with computers than with books, will probably find sans serif easier to read, even on paper. This is, by the way, why the c't magazine switched to sans serif more than a decade ago. Typesetting is not a science, it is art. And as art it is very subjective.

How is it better than using passive voice?

If I remember correctly it was a context menu entry for the desktop. Long ago, though.
Oh, but that logic can easily be turned around. You are the idiot that chose to live in the middle of nowhere. How about you stay there?

That is animal cruelty. The poor donkey is innocent.
How would you know? You haven't experienced it and never will.
Your mere existence inflicts damage on someone else's life. The fact that you haven't killed yourself shows that you are a hypocrite.
I have three helmets. Two Met and a Bell.
You are confusing the car assembly plant with the battery factory.
Because the cells might start a fire and when they are lying around everywhere, it is a potential fire hazard.
Also in footprint. 400000 m^2 vs 200000 m^2.

And you have fish in your DNA. Does that make you a fish or a human?

If i remember correctly, Essen superconductor is an ittrium barium copper oxide one.

Not really. Was a pretty cool guy, lived in the neighbouring town.
You sure about that? If I remember correctly, DiamondMM was bought by S3, and 3dfx bought the STB factory.
