With few exceptions, driving slower saves gas, so that gay boy should get a credit for gas saved.

One of the exceptions is low speeds, i.e. ones similar to a typical urban hiptard cyclist.

The 55 mph speed limit on US interstates was introduced during an oil shortage. It's not a coincidence.

But young kids nowadays have Unicode smiley's to work with.

Does Unicode have a special character[1] for an apostrophe that shouldn't be there because nothing belongs to the smiley, or at least if it does it hasn't been mentioned in the sentence?

[1] Or whatever it is they call them. Avatars, or flavorchords, or somesuch poncy shite.

Google developers do not understand how to design APIs.

Or UIs.

It's all halo effect. I think Google got search right (or less wrong than everyone else at the crucial time - just when AltaVista tried to turn into a portal and became utter poo) and have pretty much ridden that, with financial and reputational cross subsidies, ever since.

Sooner or later they'll run out of credit, one kind or the other.

I'm willing to bet it's a smaller amount of people who want a physical keyboard than those who don't. In which case, you're not a profitable enough segment for the companies who make phones

You're saying that only the most popular option is profitable? I guess that explains why there isn't, and never has been, a manufacturer of absolutely anything at all that produces two different models.

P.S. People aren't sand. It's number with a countable noun, not amount .

Do you mean 'self-righteous' perhaps? No spaces are needed around the hyphen.

Crapdot put those, not me. I just put <B><I> (and the corresponding closes, which I can't be arsed to ampersand out).

In this case, self-righteous is actually a defined word - I am pretty sure.

It is. You originally wrote it without the hyphen, hence my emphasis which Cowboy Neal's shitty code proceeded to totally fuck up.
