People who don't care about music quality. Or those of us that need a set that packs up easily in the work bag and does not take up space.
I have listened to $300 earbuds and they suck compared to even a $40.00 set of real cans, It's why the junky "beats" headphones became popular, a lot of people tried them and said "wow these are amazing" compared to earbuds.

One advantage of earbuds is that they do not do any real noise isolation so you can hear when a bus is about to squish you. Good headphones will keep the sound of that bus out of your ears even after it hits you...

I guess you dont know history then....

We were mere moments from World War III in 1983, one russian man saved your ass.

The Bikini Atoll still has enough radiation that you really should not be there very long.

No but I wonder what kind of insects will emerge that have been gone for a very long time frozen as larve in the permafrost. We might get some very old bugs coming to life once again.

Marketing wont help. when 90% of the population are functional morons when it comes to science you cant say anything to convince people that just can not understand why warmer planet means more dramatic cold during the winter.

How about we stop at the top of the kelvin scale then?

So we can stop at 2000 degrees?

I have a 6 month old Bluray player and it's not connected to ethernet in any way. not even wireless.

the "smart" functions of a bluray player are a sad, sad joke compared to a Roku 3. Why would someone intentionally use the horrible half assed crap internet capabilities on a bluray player?

I have it to play the random Disc I may or may not get, a huge amount of video is not available online so I have to get it on a spinning piece of plastic.

Most bluray players run linux and never get updates. the OPPO Bluray player has an rs232 port on back that if you power cycle it and are fast enough, you can get a shell login as root.

NEC TV sets are the same way.

The government is acting with sense and doing so in a honest way that fair to citizens.

This is not right, so I firmly believe that the world is coming to an end.

Whew, that means this 2013 Panasonic toughbook that has a 9 pin serial port on it does not exist!

Thanks for clearing that up.

LOW END laptops did away with the serial port, professional laptops still have them because people that do actual work with their laptops still use them,

No purpose if we cease to exist after we die? Is not leaving a better world for our descendants not purpose enough? Is not making life better for our fellow humans not purpose enough? What is it with Christians and their "if humans do not matter for eternity they do not matter at all" sickness?

You are a member of a very unique species: a species able to define a purpose for itself. Nature spent 13,500,000,000 years creating a brain capable of this unique task. Honor the effort and use it. Or, wallow in your nihilist mental squalor. It's up to you.

But not as effective as killing them and turning them into a food for the workers.

Robots can do the most worthless employees jobs far more efficiently and save corporations a lot more money.
Start with the executives. Hell roombas can make better decisions than these guys.

Good god, it's like Microsoft told them they were holding it wrong....
