My Model S came with a 3G connection and everything worked pretty well. Then one time I decided to tether it to my phone. Soon after I got a software update, and I went ahead and applied it. Big mistake. The update not only changed the GU

iOS has been dead to me since iOS 7. I stopped buying iPhone/iPads and stopped developing for it. Now that Jony "no taste" Ive is gone, can we go back to the classic look already?

And any time there's an article about China, people who knows nothing about China, besides that it's ruled by the communist party, comes out of the woodwork to take a dump on China. People look down on Trump and ridicule him endle

Fun fact: Traditional Chinese Medicine is mostly a bunch of useless horseshit. Too bad the great leap didn't totally destroy it.

Since you're revisiting this thread. I will try to clarify the issue. No it is not . It's only assimilation if you aim to wipe out the local language and culture and replace them with your own. So it's not assimilation i

Whoever flagged my reply to try to suppress it, do you care to explain yourselves? Is there anything I said that's factually untrue? Or are you afraid of the truth?

So any opinion different than yours is automatically "propaganda"?

Looks like you are a Hong Kong nativist. I can totally understand, and even support, your desire and struggle for ever higher level of autonomy and self determination. However, spewing blatant lies about your own language, culture, or heri

I'm still waiting for real answers to my questions. Uninformed opinions are cheap, StarTrek is fun, downvoting is easy. But the truth, that pesky truth, is just so darn inconvenient...

An attempt to deemphasize Cantonese in Guangdong does not constitute eradication. Mandarin in Hong Kong as far as I know would've been strictly in addition to, not instead of Cantonese, much like learning English in Quebec. So again, n

No it is not assimilation. See my edit.

The Chinese government certainly has a lot to improve when it comes to how it governs the people of mainland China. But we are talking about Hong Kong here. And it has been a model of restraint here, if you are being honest with yourself.

Call it assimilation if you want. My point is that it's what all governments will do under the situation. The fact that China did not push through national education forcibly shows that it's willing to forgo even that minimu

I don't like the ill-fated extradition treaty either. But even if it did pass, with its narrow scope and all the strings attached, how exactly would that place Hong Kong under the Chinese legal and administrative system again? The tre

What exactly has China done to "assimilate" Hong Kong? How is Hong Kong less diverse now? I've lived through the transition and I certainly haven't seen any sign of that.

I'm Chinese and I'm living in Hong Kong, and I'm guessing you are neither of those things. A Google search and one Wikipedia article do not give you the whole story. Please refrain from jumping to conclusions and spreading pa

Agree on Snow Leopard. I don't even mind later versions not adding value. What's sad is, they added negative value. It got slower, buggier, and uglier with every update.

Agree on iOS 6. For me it's not that the later versions don't offer good and useful features. It's just that I'm disgusted everytime I have to look at that god aweful UI. Jonny Ive truly has no taste.

Thanks for the link! Disheartening indeed. Found the fork at the end of that thread, and I'll give it a try.
