Bluetooth headsets are an edge case?

Annoying how top comments are all stupid jokes, so I'll hijack it. It's already known that âoeBallooningâ Spiders Use Electrostatic Forces To Generate Lift

Opportunity costs.

Don't forget we feed the world. Agriculture and Intellectual Property are still a good chunk of the economy. Even with silicon valley and hollywood, agriculture is the biggest part of our economy here in California. Not manufacturing, perhaps, but also not service.

I'd suggest it all started going downhill when the courts reclassified News as Infotainment, and stated that it didn't have to be true.

"Long Island is an island in the U.S. state of New York. Stretching northeast from New York Harbor into the Atlantic Ocean, the island comprises four counties, including two (Kings and Queens) that form the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, and two (Nassau and Suffolk) that are farther out on the island and mainly suburban. Although all four counties are part of the greater New York metropolitan area,[2] the name "Long Island" is often reserved in popular usage for only Nassau and Suffolk counties, as distinct from those lying within New York City proper. North of the island is Long Island Sound, across which are the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island." -Wikipedia

How can anyone think this is insightful? Monster Storm! Better safe than sorry! Oh, well then we should do the same for a totally different scenario not involving as much risk. Insightful?

Right. But the monster storm is. The point being there is a monster storm.

The severity of the storm is related to the heating of the ocean, which is due to global warming. It is a monster, but the monster stumbled and didn't go quite where they thought.

Seemed as though you were saying that modern editors made up for the difficulties, so it was OK for languages to suck. In what way does that reflect "the right tool for the job"? Seems like its more in the lines of "if you want to use a double-bladed axe as a hammer, wear gloves".

I see the "close access work" as a bit of a red herring, and the "ethically worse position" is the real story. Mass surveillance is just too nice to give up. So, I predict that we will be seeing government malware that infects large numbers of computers in order to attempt to maintain the status quo.

You seem to be unclear on the meaning of 'analogy'. Either that, or you read the GP's post without also reading the GGP's.

That sounds like the source of the portability issues right there.

Perhaps that OS vendor could encourage more complier writers to support compliers for that platform.

I think you mean it is easier to type?

So rather than teach your kid to not defecate on the floor, you'd buy them nice mops?
