Mass protests when he was convicted of rape...now new charges of systematic raping and abuse of children...and they still think he is a god?  History repeating itself...sad that people can be so stupid.

Some times I believe Nukes still have a potential good use. I don't have the patience to kill zombies one by one, when the whole city is plagued.

Quote: A classmate allegedly once found her lying in a pool of blood and the victim revealed details of the abuse. However, no one, including her own parents, believed the girl and she was allegedly sent back to the Dera.

Assembly is a common term for a gathering in the UK as we're used to using it from school days. Maybe non-UK CCC solvers don't have that connection and therefore struggle to connect the two?

The Samsung 8+ and Note 8 are both priced over 1k just like the fruity thing. People are only paying a premium of very little between them.
I recently bought myself the 8+ because my venerable note 4 was getting very slow, paid over 1k for it. Sure there were cheaper options but not with the same features and yeah I can afford to drop 1k getting a phone - a Mercedes on the other hand is not an option.
I won't buy any apple product but that is because I am a bigoted old sod rather than having any experience with the products.

Someone help me understand. I would label myself as an "old fart." I like technology, but $1k for a phone? Plus the what, 80-100 month for an unlimited plan? I know you can play movies on them and candy crush, but there's only so much spreadsheet work to be done...
Why? Where do people get the $$ for these things? Fruity or anti-fruity, I'm in the what the elephant zone.
oh never mind, I just saw the other thread....

I won't buy an apple product either, choosing instead probably one of the last WinPhones in my area for just $120...quite happy with it actually!

Yeah, I never cease to be amazed by some of the opinions expressed here at CP.
Most are supposedly devs and techies but many act like complete Luddites[^].
1) Today's $1000 phone is tomorrow's $500 phone and the next day's $100 phone.
2) Everybody has their own finances, financial priorities, tech requirements and opinions about what makes sense for them.
3) Sure, there are people that buy Apple devices (or Samsung devices) as status symbols. So what? Others may do the same with clothes, cars, homes, etc...

Except that the second half of that hasn't been the case for several years. While >$500 near/flagships get significantly faster SOCs every year, Sub $300 phones are still using A53 cores that are barely faster than the A9 that was in a flagship a half dozen years ago. The only gains you've gotten are faster wifi and cellular modems along with support for newer video codecs. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Even those have been throttled down by "a certain half ate Fruit" so that their models using Qualcomm modems do just as well as the models using the slower Intel ones.
