What do I care about their sales? I'm happy with their free app of the day. Most are crap, but I did manage to get Tetris on a day when it was free.

No. The beard gets in the way of the neck.

I use Ubuntu a lot now and have grown to accept Unity, but I really wish there was still the traditional right click anywhere and get an app menu. That was a thing I loved over Windows. I waver on switching completely to XUbuntu just so I can get that traditional functionality back.

How does it compare to Classic Shell?

How is a person supposed to know what to type to find a thing that isn't listed? This has frustrated me at times in Ubuntu also. Why the menu hate?

None of that glossy shit.

Meh. Unlimited DVDs from Netflix always averaged about 4 a month for me anyways.

I canceled Netflix (only streaming plan) at the end of the summer after having it for years. It felt like I'd gone through all the 5 and 4 star movies I wanted to see. And Netflix didn't appear to be getting much new streaming content I cared about. And the 3 star movies that made up my queue felt more like a chore to go through than entertainment. I've never tried Redbox but have seen the boxes at many convenient locations. I'll probably give this a try and catch up on recent movies I've missed.

Found what I was looking for. Wasn't stealth though.

Didn't something also crash in China? I vaguely remember something like that happening but google is failing me.

That could and should have been *their thing*. If they are just making the same type of phone as everyone else, may as well buy a Samsung.

I see them regularly for $300 at Target and Best Buy.

I also have a 900a! Gotta rate it as one of my best purchases. Doesn't feel flimsy, has a great matte screen, nice size. XUbuntu works pretty good on it. If I were to replace it I'd go with an Acer Aspire One 756. Chromebook? More like Cripplebook.

I don't understand why Defense spending needs to be linked to GDP. Why is this some important metric?

That doesn't seem quite right. Like if I jump up and down enough, regularly, while flapping my arms, eventually things will work out and I'll fly? No, there are things missing there that time and repetition won't solve.

How many people would need to be living on Mars in order for human race to continue to survive after an extinction level event on Earth?

So there just wasn't any other way to get this stimulative effect besides the Apollo program? Manned spaceflight as a whole seems like a bust too me. Way too expensive for far too little gain. Probes (and robots) have done so much more and cost so much less. Someday maybe it will be more economical to send a man to Mars. Until then, why the rush?
