Yeah we're all standing line, right after you and the rest of the morons who open their mouths before investigating how factual a story is.

What she complained about was that it kept reminding her about backing her iPhone up; she wanted it to do so automatically, which she didn't know can be done by flipping a single setting in iOS' iCloud control panel.

No. Stop talking out of your butt now. By default they do not end up on your iCloud account. For this to happen in OS X you need to explicitly 1) set up an iCloud account, and 2) enable automatic iCloud backups of "default" folders.

They are looking into the best course of action to have cryptocurrencies banned as it threatens their paychecks and their control over people's money.

C'mon, Travis... that's just making weak assumptions based on us having different opinions, unlike my statement based on the original poster's attitude, or me commenting on something else based on reality, like f.e. saying I like your receding hairline and your non-refracting hipster glasses.

That's a very worrying attitude considering what kind of light you're trying to pose yourself in with your leading post. Why exactly do you feel that people owe you a name in order to have the right to criticize you, and what makes you feel you have the right to accuse them of being "date rapists" and call them pieces of shit when they don't pay this imagined debt to you?

The sympathy-seeking white knight emerges.

I started programming as a kid at the age of 10. This question just doesn't apply to me at all. No such thing as "career" etc. were relevant to me at that point.

Which is a bit funny considering that my browser plays HTML5 video content from exactly everywhere else on the internet.

Sailling to Easter Island (and some other islands) is something I've wanted to do for many years. I have a high degree and education in maritime navigation, and some (but not enough) practical experience in sailing, but the cost of a worthy boat sort of breaks this dream of mine.

"For a fraction of the cost". There is no money to be made by selling the world something it needs for just pennies. Ammonia is available everywhere for pennies, and I suspect sodium amide is available for pennies as well. This doesn't equal good business when you can still sell gasoline for some orders of magnitude more, and as such you can be damned sure no one will ever allow this to be a legit fuel for cars.

There's nothing hard about it at all. I just don't like being at the mercy of a power socket every single day. A device that requires recharging once or more per day isn't a mobile device, it's IMMOBILE. You can't leave civilization (read: trekking, outdoors etc.) with a device like that and you can't rely on it in situations where you leave home for a day without having to carry a charger with you as well.

I'm happy for you. My iOS phone lasts 5-6 days as well.

The Android-based things we've seen so far need to be recharged at the very least once a day. I can't even stand the thought of owning a smartphone model that requires recharging every day.
