Maybe, I am not so sure that this is an actual phenomenon or just a perceived one. I, for one, think the pro's outweigh any cons, I like the the idea of being reassured that my vote got counted correctly and that there isn't any f

I don't know why there isn't a live data feed. I wish when you went in to vote there was a big screen that shows the current vote count for each candidate. You should be able to stay and watch the screen until the polls close and

I am sure people could adjust to this. I am not certain how many people actually use those buttons without looking at the keyboard anyway. When I learned to type the function keys weren't included, I for one, always have to look when u

Why is everyone so upset about this? It is a dynamic part of the keyboard. I would be shocked if there was no option to set it "classic mode" for certain applications (or even universally if you wanted), which would have the ESC k

Yeah, I don't understand all the outrage over the touchbar. It changes depending on your application. So can't you setup VIM so the touchbar displays a "normal" or "classic layout", which would display all the

Is the Garmin smart enough so if two routes temporarily share a stretch of road it doesn't tell you to get off the route you were coming from? For example you are traveling east on route 2, route 202 merges into 2. Rt 2 and 202 are the

Eh, when it comes to computers (not printers) HP isn't that bad. I'll take HP over Lenovo any day. Although HP wouldn't be my first choice when choosing a computer.

It isn't realistic with stocks. Are you really going to go get 100% consent from every single person that has stock in company? Even the people that only hold 100 shares (or 1 share for that matter)? You would never be able take public
