I'm in the same boat but with the Note 4. I recently looked at the idea of giving in and upgrading to a Note 9 but I really didn't want to spend nearly $1000 on a phone that I probably would end up not liking anyway.

We already tried that but Abraham Lincoln sent the union army to invade us.

The new regulations are to wear hearing protection while shooting at tsunamis.

This is the purpose of class action suits but companies recently discovered they can put an arbitration clause in their contracts denying you the right to hold them accountable through the legal system and instead, on an individual basis, forces you to use a arbiter that almost always rules in favor of the company.

For awhile I tried to vote with my wallet by purposely avoiding doing business with companies that had arbitration clauses but now they're all doing it and so consequently it is impractical, if not impossible, to do anything without agreeing to an arbitration clause.

The frying pan is also the best weapon in Left 4 Dead 2 just on account of the twang song it makes.

While we are musing on obsolete mechanical computer commands, let us also not forget the Vertical Tab (0x0B).

For a second there I though this was going to end with "For everything else; there is MasterCard."

There is a narcotic drug that has been out there awhile and it is plaguing our society, often used most by STEM types, and it causes; tremors, anxiety, irritability, sleep deprivation, over active bladder and racing thoughts among other things. It is so addictive that many cannot function without it and withdrawal symptoms are severe. We need to do something about trimethylxanthine before it is too late! Someone please think of the children!

I'd also like to point out that this was a drug for terminally ill patients. I'm not saying their deaths should be taken likely but that should be kept in mind when considering if this drug was the cause of death in... terminally ill patients. Corelation is not causation.

That sounds a lot like the Social Security Number that we have in the United States. Unfortunately there is nothing secure about it and wasn't intended to be a defacto password to your identity but everyone uses it like that anyway. Once someone has stolen your social security number they can pretty much take over your life.

The NRA is a civil rights organization; so if the politicians are scared of the NRA then that is a good thing. I don't ever hear anyone complaining about politicians not being opposed, for example, to the ACLU or the EFF. And before someone accuses the NRA of being a gun lobby I would like to remind them that the gun manufacturer industry literally has its own lobby group unassociated with the NRA whose members consist solely of manufacturers, whereas the NRA's member base consists of individuals.

I have not heard anyone mention if she legally prohibited from having the gun or not but even with gun control laws in place, in California which has the strictest gun control laws rivaled only by that of New York, the police failed to follow up on warnings given by her father to the authorities. But getting down to business, ultimately here is the huge difference: Australia does not have the right to bear arms codified into its constitution, and neither does the UK. It would be literally impossible to do this without amending the constitution which requires either; getting a 2/3rd's majority vote in both the house and senate, or an Article V convention initiated by 2/3rd's the state legislatures, and then said amendment would need to be ratified by 3/4th's of the state legislatures.

However, despite this, we do have several gun control laws already on the books; the 1934 National Firearms Act, the 1968 Gun Control Act and the 1986 Hughes Amendment to name a few. If anyone thinks buying a gun is all that easy then they've clearly never tried to buy a gun before.

That being said such amendment would require a massive political shift in order to gain the necessary support. It would probably be more plausible for every supporter to move to Australia instead.

Even if this did happen it might reduce crimes committed with a gun, but it will be unlikely to reduce violent crimes overall.

I can attest to the validity of this. One place I used to live I had a neighbor who would always call the zoning board or the sheriff over something trivial. If they wanted to live in a $Big_City suburb where everyone is forced to conform to rigid HOA rules then they shouldn't have moved to a rural farming community.

This is my experience too. I've never had a positive experience trying to contribute to a wiki no matter what I did because I apparently dared to step onto the turf of another editor's pet article where I apparently could never please them no matter how hard I tried to follow the rules to a T. I finally gave up on participating in any kind of wiki when another editor reverted my edits on Uncyclopedia where everything is supposed to be intentionally non-sensible and absurd but my edit apparently did not meet his personal definition of funny.

My first thought was that Nvidia is going to have a monopoly on the technology and I feel even less comfortable with that than if it were just Windows only. Hopefully though if this catches on, or maybe even if it doesn't, AMD will come to the rescue.

Are we talking about finances or databases?
