Explain the Apollo program then. What a joke this site has become. Nothing but Bolshevik propaganda, in one article after another. I'm surprised this one got through, as it doesn't mention 'climate change'.

I wonder whether you would get a different result when "the shit hits the fan" rather than with "let's play some games". I have seen women who work very well under pressure, but anecdotally I think I have seen more women come to peaces under pressure than men. Mind you when I have seen men have caved in under pressure it has been catastrophic, like six months off work with stress related disease or getting fired for throwing a monitor across the room.

I was biking triple that distance when I was 11 in 1997 (obviously without a cell phone). The world is not so dangerous that all minors need continuous monitoring.

At 12 I was allowed to take the train to London for a day out with school friends. We had all been walking home from school alone since about 7 or 8.

Comparing the USA favorably to a 3rd-world shithole will not advance your argument.

Sorry, but I'll nevertheless point out that the USA compares favorably to Europe, not to advance my argument, but because Europeans need to know.

Certainly not in respect of allowing children to play outside then walk home.

Doesn't it include performance and power management improvements?

I don't know if it was the OS or google play services (I got an update for both at the same time, but in KitKat google play services used 20% of my battery doing not a lot. Searches shown that a number of other people had this issue, but strangely not everyone. With Lolipop its down to a few percent. It also has "battery saver mode", which as far as I can work out disables background everything and dims the display. Useful if you want to ensure that your battery lasts for calls and SMS, but you won't get any facebook, email, or other notifications
