Exactly. Also double precision is a requirement for scientific modeling and calculations. Do you really want a 1 bit error on a simulation that took a month to process?

What do the vast majority of people do with their laptops? They play some games, watch youtube, and maybe type up notes in class. Can you elaborate on what "much more mature and reasonable" means? I can still buy two Chromebooks for the price of an iPad and not be forced to use bullshit iTunes.

Windows 8 just does dumb shit. The first box I setup had a touchscreen. The instructions say to move the mouse to the upper right corner. So I move the mouse and nothing happens. Check all the cables and everything but it all appears working. Finally figure out they want me to move the CURSOR to the upper right using my FINGER. The mouse is not even used!

They are fucking ugly. The super square shapes remind me of basic X window managers. Hell even CDE is more pleasing to look at.

You are not the target market for Chromebooks. The funny part is they still cost like 1/8 of what your Macbook did. My mom has a Chromebook and she loves it. I never get tech support calls anymore. Everything just works.

Never priced a medallion I guess. They don't own the taxis.

Try living where I do. People ignore lights and crosswalks and stroll right into traffic. I saw one unlucky girl not paying attention with the wheel of a van resting on her ankle. The driver didn't even notice until people started banging on his window.

He is rich and powerful, what are you expecting?

Chances are if you're pretty bright then 2600 magazine won't be of much interest to you.

Then links to videos that are supposed to demonstrate 60fps except they don't appear to.

People could stop living in places where a tornado comes through every few years. You hear the same complaints about people living in flood plains

Show me a case of a cop doing jail time for wrongfully killing someone. I don't mean a month long sentence either, hard time like common folks get.

You basically summed it up. Cops straight up murder people and district attorneys refuse to press charges fearing they will lose the backing of the police. The head of the brotherhood of police is on record saying that police misconduct is so rare it doesn't even exist.

Guess you've never been in court with a cop. Cops lie to judges and persecutors all the time. If cops don't have enough evidence for a warrant they say an anonymous informant tipped them off and the judge rubber stamps it.

How will they make it leak oil and break down like normal Harleys?
