While some springs won't hold the energy longer than a few seconds, most watches will be fine with eight hours of not winding. A "funky gyroscope case" is useful for people that have more than one watch so that one can be wound constantly and ready to go at moment's notice--not to keep winding it over night. That way they don't need to set the time every time they change to a different watch.

Who is qualified to teach morals? Please tell me the answer is not priests.

Not a missing option. The poll was about preferred smart phone size. You may chance are asking for a DIFFRENT POLL, not an additional option.

Your option is not missing, for the question pertained to preferred smart phone size. What you may desire is a different poll all together: preferred dumb phone size.

Whoosh.

Seems like you missed out there, but there's more to a business than a codebase.

Mr. Slippery did not say he trusted them. I'm not sure why you would think he does. He might for all we know, but he did not indicate so.

You are right, that you retain the privacy of data beyond the message itself, I didn't think of that. When I think of Gmail, I think of Gmail the way I use it: as a server. I almost never use the web-interface because I dislike it (on top of the fact that I can't read my email in the web interface anyhow due to the encryption). I use a client almost exclusively.

I'm not in their demographic for their new product/service and hadn't really thought through other use-cases. That said, many (most) of my correspondents use Gmail so any unencrypted message of mine to or from them is stored and indexed by Google anyhow. That's why I feel local encryption is the best option for privacy.

That law only applies in the United States. Email is a bit more global.

Unless you encrypt all your mail, and your correspondents do so as well, email is basically a post card. It matters not who your provider is, really. If you want to secure your own mail server, you'll need to run your own. It's far easier though, to get an S/MIME certificate and use that for sensitive emails with key correspondents and leave the spam and junk mail as is (plain text and readable). It's just a matter of benefit for effort.

My mindset is basically email is a post card, if I want to have privacy I put my message in an S/MIME envelope sealed with my recipient's public key.

For plain-text email, once it passed through their machine you have lost your privacy. You gain no privacy or right-mindedness by not letting mail "stay" on their servers.

You can still close windows in Windows by double clicking the left side of the title bar (where the window menu used to be), even in Windows 7 (not sure about Windows 8 or Windows 10 as I have used neither).

Today that price difference is not nearly as much. Looking at (as best I could find, not exactly) comparable systems, a Dell 15" XPS laptop is $0.99 MORE than a MacBook Pro 15". The Dell has a touch-screen but the MacBook Pro has an SSD and other differences. Perhaps if you took more time than I just did to build as close a system as possible the Dell would be cheaper, but I didn't find that.

How does inflation fund government services to the general populace? Genuinely curious. I like taxes, I get a benefit from them. I don't see much benefit from inflation (that I am aware of but I am ignorant of much macroeconomics).

Why would I want Comcast internet service? We're talking about the cheapest way to get HBO today.

From your link:

Which is $95 a month PLUS:

An unknown amount of fees they don't disclose on that page, which might change during your TWO YEAR CONTRACT. No idea what the termination fees are.

So, according to what you linked, I was wrong about the $140/mo + whatever fees cable package and indeed you can get HBO cheaper by having a cable internet connection going into your house that's going to sit there unused for $95/mo + whatever fees.
