I didn't comment on how long I thought it would remain a meaningful term, only that I believe it would lose meaning at some point in the future.

I'm inferring quite a bit, but my take on the OP's comment is that the term Retina Display is meaningless to him, not because of ignorance, but because he understands the principle behind the term and is more interested in the actual numbers.

It's also a marking term that apple has trademarked. http://www.apple.com/legal/trademark/appletmlist.html

It won't mean much of anything once even the most basic screens exceed the retina display criteria.

Someone needs to overclock the iPhone 5 and upload the results for a fair apples to androids comparison then.

I think you're basically arguing that it's better that the shotgun pointed at you from two foot away be loaded with shot instead of a deer slug.

I'm a bit fuzzy on the details but generally for extradition you usually have dual criminality. Shooting someone in Scotland from England is a crime in England and Scotland, so your anaolgy is flawed as I don't think O Dwyer has been charged with any crimes in England.

Do you also feel that all the school projects you've ever worked on were futile as well?

The silver surfer could probably unlock the phone as well.

I would have to assume that by the length of the spam post and how annoying it was even to skim over that it can only serve one of two purposes.
1. some sort of google rank gaming
2. To evoke a negative feeling towards MyCleanPC

Aside from stability issues others have mentioned, a snake large enough to house all the stuff in the rover would be very well, large I think.

Combining and recombining like a Japanese cartoon robot works best in cartoons. Sand and other realities would make it difficult to execute well on Mars

I intentionally left point 2 very vague and it covers both scenarios you mention. Regarding your last point, I don't think it's effective to use angry ranting to convey precise reasons.

I'm used to cycling in city traffic (Dublin, Ireland) and sensors and empty junctions don't factor there. Some of the quieter areas might have them but I honestly don' t know. All I know for sure is that outside of the city there are plenty of junctions which don't have sensors. Oh and I don't push any buttons when I'm on the bike, I just run them once it's "clear" :D

FTA

or you know, don't.

I've wondered about that myself. Assuming the traffic light system remains unchanged, 2 reasons I can think of against allowing any flexibility in running red lights are

1. Force of habit, if John Doe is used to running red lights since the junctions nearby are always empty he might plough into someone absentmindedly when at an unfamiliar junction.

2. Ambiguity, a red light is a red light, a “clear junction” is open to interpretation

I’m sure there are plenty of other reasons against the idea, but the above two seemed enough to me.

Your informative statement is at best an anecdote. I realize that I have the whole of the internet to research what you attest to, but you could at least provide some idea of which Finish benefits are better and why.
