There was a war started by the US for the express purposes of stealing Mexican territory. We can dicker all day, but that's where it stands.

I'm enjoying the discomfiture of Republicans as Latino numbers swell, as demographics accomplish what Mexican soldiers couldn't.

Maybe you should give them first dibs because you stole half their country.

If you can't trust a hyperpartisan think tank that produces reports to orders for their ideological fuckbuddies, then who can you trust? HMmm? Who can you?

Indeed. "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche" doesn't exactly seem like a happy positive message to me.

You haven't been modded up yet? There is indeed no justice in the world.

Thanks for proving wage slaves don't exist, John. I was all worried that many people are economically stick in crap jobs, but your anecdotal story has proven how wrong I was.

Thank goodness you're taking a reasoned opinion and not oversimplifying and overgeneralizing.

If it can't pump out Java byte code, I'm not interested.

Or it could be a badly written summary and article that completely misrepresent what is being stated.

If every science journalist on the planet were to spontaneously combust, not only would it introduce a whole new physical phenomenon, it would cause the average IQ of the planet to jump by at least 5 points.

And a huge tablet like a Surface 3 isn't clumsy?

My Nexus 7 and 15" notebook both fit nicely in my case, and combined cost at least a couple of hundred bucks less than the Surface 3. If I was to spend that much on a laptop, I'd get a helluva better unit than this underpower device.

If it works for you, great. Myself, I consider it an appalling waste of money.

Because regional conditions represent global conditions.

The Telegraph and a denier's site. Yes, so very convincing.

How many times does this cherry picked claim have to be posted. Warming did not stop for 15 years, for chrissakes, and you're either a liar or a moron for restating it.

Look at it this way. Now that they've found the Atari 2600 ET cartridges in a New Mexico landfill, there's plenty of room for all the Surfaces (all variants) that Microsoft can't sell.

It's amusing watching the mighty Redmond Emperor with his clothes off; a whole product line and who knows how much R&D and marketing cash dumped into it, that almost no one actually fucking wants. It's so bad that they can't even get their OEM network to build the fucking things and they have to put them under their own brand name as they try the final futile stunt of acting like they're Apple.

It's an expensive piece of hardware whose performance doesn't justify the cost and whose size makes it a terrible fucking tablet. I could buy a Nexus 7 and a tolerable decent notebook for less than a Surface 3 and have the best of both worlds.
