I know a few who were a bit easier to manipulate via marketing and they ended up getting a laptop. They wore it out rather quickly because they were using the laptop the same way some will use a desktop (always on, never off).
This has nothing at all to do with politics or political view. This is just plain people being people in a culture based on whining. The whole country was based on whining. I'm not saying that is a bad thing, but that is what it is. The Boston Tea Party was a protest/whine.
It is dated. It is expressly out of date. It is a modern miracle that things have kept together as long as they have. It will not last forever. The old thing will need to be updated/reingineered by design otherwise it will be reingineered by revolution once corruption has completely erased all trace of its original/initial intentions.
There is more overhead with flight -- the overhead has greater impact on short flights because preflight and postflight time is not smaller for short trips even though the distance is shorter.
In other words a car is better for short distances. For medium distances it is debatable. For long distances flight will be faster.
The only times that I have ever been paid weekly were when working temporary jobs. Every part time and full time job that I have held has been bi-weekly. I have had contract jobs where hours reported was weekly but the paychecks were still cut bi-weekly.
This will only matter if the voters as a collective whole are willing to vote out their own elected officials instead of complaining about the representatives elected by voters in other States.
This depends on the component of the religious organization you are talking about. A bunch of monks living out in the boonies are not at all totalitarian but a dogmatic theologian who is a Bishop and actually has to deal with church and civil politics -- yes that can be very authoritarian.
I disagree. I have had two cars totalled and one suv damaged by people on cell phones.
The first totalling occured when one woman stopped in a turning lane "decided" or rather assumed without visual verification that it is ok to turn while there is a stream of cars going through an intersection for their green light -- she never even looked up to see if cars were still going through the intersection, she was on total auto pilot while jabbering away. It was pretty low speed but due to the angle at which she hit the wheel on my car it was a total loss.
Twice I have been rear ended by interstate drivers on the phone (one female, one male). One resulted with a totalling and the other caused significant damage to an SUV I was driving at the time. Each time was due to slow traffic in front and fast traffic behind -- yes and it was rush hour. The following drivers had ample time to stop (they were WAY behind me) but never once looked up from their phones until they were on top of the drivers ahead of them.
People are very poor at driving when on mobile phones.
Historically all of those tribal groups could be extremely savage to each other -- this includes ancient palastinians, various arab tribes and ancient israelis. None of them were nice if you were not on their good side/on the good side of their deity.
But what you can not do which is key is create a new independent toolbar and put it somewhere else separate from the initial tool bar. This was possible to do until either windows 7 or vista (I never used vista so I have no idea what happened in vista).
In other words as far as customizing for multiple monitor desktops goes the user is shafted with the new toolbar restriction.
Politicians generally aren't stupid. In the US most of Federal elected officials were at one point lawyers. Once you understand that their behavior becomes much easier to understand.
Lawyers are trained in law and ethics, specifically how to ethically serve their client. Ethically serving their client means doing EVERYTHING legally possible to further your client's position. Who are politician's clients? Their campaign donors. Shitty politician behavior explained by the 'ethics' training they get being turned into lawyers.
It also seems self evident that lawyers shouldn't be making laws. Talk about having the foxes guard the hen house.
There is a difference between market segments and markets. A market segment shifted yes but not the whole damn market. The issue is significant but not the "death of the PC" hype it is made out to be.

People I know holding off on upgrades were doing so for other reasons: 1: economic stress 2: lack of software to drive the upgrading lust

Sometimes there are no corporations that you like available. Then it is down to the lesser of various evils. Kind of like voting.

Willfull ignorance.

Well...yes.

That is because people here are barely aware of bargaining ever having been an option.
Because it has any concept of 5000 pounds of onrushing metal. Wrong.
It is a trade off. Without a habitable environment your lineage will halt.

Yeah once I get sick of gmail I will move out of web email entirely. I'll probably go back to pegasus as it turns out it is still alive and kicking.

How Lawful Evil of them.
