I commented on that before, but should I feel bad because I don't touch type the function keys ? I just can't believe that everybody here just touch type the screen brightness increase. Especially considering that those keys don&#

There is a lot of assumption in this discussion like there is nothing between blind encouragement and stark criticism. You want you son/friend to learn to code and his first project is copy-pasta from a book. Fantastic. Actually doing

No that's not why. If you have any application that sucks memory without releasing it, adding more memory just delay the inevitable. As for the RAM in the rMBP. I'm only half disappointed compared to what I would have been 1 year

I touch type, I hardly ever look down at my keyboard ... except for stuff like switching the volume off, brightness, or the rare key combo that uses a function key. So there is gradient even in non-casual users. I would have cried with you

Premium is very premium in the car industry. It is one thing to find $3000 to buy a laptop. It is expensive for a laptop, but it is in the realm of purchasable by a large chunk of the population. It is quite another endeavour to find $100K+

That changes depending on the polls. One more recent: http://lordashcroftpolls.com/2016/09/the-new-blueprint/ has the majority of people placing immigration as a priority over the single market.

People can change their mind in even less than 5 months, especially when the context changes dramatically. Theresa may simply believe that the UK public will not be happy to compromise on immigration even if it means losing the single marke

You also forgot that they are fast with responsive UI. And that's only if you compare the best of the car built-in GPS. If it is not the top of range (which btw is not related to the price of the car), the UI is generally awful. If you

Factories do not scale as well as service because they need are limited by natural resources. Service can literally be created out of thin air. For example, an AI could create an infinite number of movies or books or insurance contract. A f

iPhone 5 for my wife here. Working alright too. Older hardware used to be really crippled by each new iOS release. (we had iPhone 1 and iPhone4 before), no such problem nowadays.

I don't have worry about the welfare system not giving aid. The condition are generally often quite reasonable and there are going to be plenty of organisation to watch that over. What I worry about, is in countries like the US/UK

Wait does any of that include labour ? Because around here you won't find a technician working for less than 50 GBP an hour, parts not included. Or well, you can always find a "guy" that can come around, no guarantee of anyth

I'm pessimistic too. However, the labour cost is so huge that it will offset some of your points and only give a slight edge to repair and second hand shops. If you don't have a top of the range, almost new fridge or TV, even phon
