I don't know if working as an NCAA basketball coach quite counts as "everyday life", but I agree with you nonetheless.

I noticed that too, any idea what it means? Sun IV? Sambalpur University?

Do you understand why Chrome doesn't allow a master password that actually obscures the stored passwords? I can't figure it out. I can't use a browser that doesn't do that. That's the only thing holding me back from Chrome.

That's an argument FOR Japanese cars - the manufacturers have no reason to build obsolescence into their cars.

I did the same thing, 5-6 years ago. Drive still works now.

Exactly what progress have they made in the office application field that justifies this argument?

I've been using PHP for years, and not two days ago I decided it's probably worth learning python and switching to that for server-side scripts. I got a python cgi script working in about 10 minutes. Then, I just wanted to be able to run python scripts from arbitrary locations on my site. Looking into that, I could not find a single explanation or tutorial website to help me out. Is that just not how python works? Can anyone point me to some resources that will help an amateur familiar with PHP, learn to completely replace PHP with python, on a commercially hosted webserver?

Except this is, as far as I know, the only non-mac laptop with such a high screen resolution, so it actually fills a niche that was previously empty.

Well, by that reasoning, "life insurance" can't exist for anyone, since death is always guaranteed.

Some people are still more comfortable with the laptop form factor, and a discrete keyboard and stand do not replace that design. Maybe the laptop form factor is outdated and dying, maybe not, I don't know. But as of now there are enough people who at least want to keep that an option.

"Obviously, standardized tests aren't everything."

"Test scores have increased since NCLB passed in 2002. Reading scores also are up slightly, and girls achieved parity with boys in mathematics. This is a monumental victory." What?
