I've been using Android (now with Pixel 8 Pro) since MS killed Windows Phone. I much preferred WP, loved the user interface, ease of creating apps with C# that I could easily run on the desktop while developing. Windows Phone was great and I really miss it.

My kids are dual citizens in Canada and I send them to Canadian universities for about $5000 per year in tuition. No student loans, no burdensome debt hanging around their necks for decades. I'm a capitalist, but what we have here in the USA isn't capitalism. Giving what feels like "free" money to young, inexperienced, immature, naive people to create and bolster money grubbing bureaucracies at our public universities is a crime. So many institutions in this country are corrupted in the same way, like law and medicine.

My wife, three kids, and I all got Covid back in October. Last flu I had was worse. Kids barely noticed it. My wife and I were up out of bed after 3 days of fever. I had a mild cough that lasted 8 weeks and is gone. Smell came back after a week.

Or better yet... if you have to waste your time intelligently, so that you're not wasting your time, you're OK with it?

So if you have to stuff a hotdog up your ass, as long as you have to do it intelligently so that you're not wasting your time, you're OK with it?

The police routinely ensure that they are excluded from smart gun mandates. First because they require maximum reliability from their weapons and so-called smart technology adds another failure path. Second, the technology results in significant increase in cost. Why would the civilian population want these same problems?

Yes there are Windows Phone fans. I'm one of them. Try browsing the forums at www.windowscentral.com and you'll see a lot more of them.

Actual Fans of Windows Phone can get Windows 10 mobile for any supported device via the Windows Insider program. I've been running it for months on my Lumia 830, and it is nearly trivially easy to get. And new 950/950XL devices come with Windows 10 Mobile factory installed. So this report is merely a giant fail.

Canada...had another record breaking hot summer, and expecting another winter with hardly any snow in the Vancouver region. 10-15 years ago, we used to actually get snow over here.

Bunk! I lived in Vancouver back then, and at most we would get 1 or 2 days of snow. Bid deal, we still get that. I live now in Vancouver Washington, about 6 hours south of Vancouver BC, and we had a week of cold last summer that allowed us to skate on the local pond.

Also compare the waiting lists in both countries. USA = no wating, Canada = long waiting lists.

I second this recommendation. With Visual Studio Express 2012 you'll find it's very straight forward to get up and running.

The article fails to note that cave drawings weren't done by just any women, but by actual cave women. Cave women are cool. Cave people are cool. It's an important distinction... cave stuff is done by cave people.

Then you have to ask for our progeny's progeny... how much boron is on the moon?

Is the situation at all like Chernobyl? My understanding is that wildlife there is strangely thriving. Possible this isn't true, but it may be interesting.

Maybe, maybe not.

I've got iPhone 4, Nokia 920, Nikon LS120, and Canon Rebel T3. For taking product photos (and I am not a professional), the T3 blows all others out of the water. The LS120 is somewhat disappointing given the specs, and the 920 easily takes better photos than the iPhone 4.

Surprisingly, the Nokia 920 takes the best video of the bunch, at least when it comes to my son's hockey games. I haven't taken any video with the T3, so I guess my statement is somewhat stupid.
