Just to be "that guy"

I kind of want it to function like last year's model. I don't buy a phone to tinker with, or really do whiz-bang stuff: Just texting, maybe a phone call now and then, some calendar stuff, calculator, etc. You know, basic phone stuff. I don't want to have to relearn the phone's OS just because a new device came out.

If there's no spoon, how do we eat?

I'm guessing the code was Objective-C - ? Xcode 4.4 didn't have Swift, I believe.

I'd be careful of this attitude. It strikes of Thomas Watson's, "Only five computers worldwide," and the obsolescence of silent movies, among other examples of trends that were considered passing fads that actually became societal revolutions.

OMG - another Vikings fan in the wild? Welcome, self-suffering fool! I not only don't watch them because I'm not paying for the privilege, and the extraneous 45 minutes of ads, but because even though I'm a biathlete, I don't think my cardio system can handle watching those guys. They've been breaking my heart since '74. I can control my emotions better by just reading about it after the fact.

I already don't watch American football because I don't have cable, don't care for the nearly incessant advertisements, and it's quicker and easier to just read the summaries of the games in which I'm interested after the fact. I'm not really missing anything. Add DRM all you want, fellas; I don't care.

Wait, what kind of lacrosse sticks? I mean, you got yer aluminum - if you're that old - and titanium, but I'm kinda partial to hickory wood, myself. I also have a couple of "traditional" bent wood models. Now, you can get some speed with the lighter weight handles, but the wood handles are only slightly slower, but with more mass, and I find people really don't like to get whacked with the wooden ones.

I don't think "should" is the correct term, here: I think "can" is more appropriate. Companies, under the whip of Wall Street, demand monstrous quarterly profits, while American workers demand monstrous paychecks to fund their ever increasing standard of living. I mean, are you really even a man if you don't have a $100k boosted truck, towing a boat, or an RV - or both - and a mansion to drive home to? Well, generally, you can't have both monstrous profits and monstrous paychecks. So if you want to bring manufacturing back to America, you have to reduce costs - particularly labor - to justify the effort, or manufacturers won't bother. Lower labor cost and resulting increased profit is why manufacturing left in the first place, particularly under Reagan. Note that I'm not even touching environmental issues, here: just labor. So, if manufacturing could be done here, it probably would.

Depends on IT. I'm of the "ain't broke, don't fix it" mold. If users are getting stuff done effectively, you're not getting new stuff unless you can prove why we should spend time and money on this. Because that's what it is: time and money to replace things. I have enough on my plate that I don't need to add pointless tasks to my list just so you can have a new shiny.

They'll give him an extra slice of pizza in appreciation.

Maybe he was miserable because assholes like you took it on yourself to make him feel that way because he didn't "fit in" with your pre-conceived biases.

And he was still a better president than 47 was or will be.
