Parts on a laptop have to be small and light, which means fragile. They also have to withstand being moved about constantly. This means design compromises. A soldered connection is much smaller and more durable than a screw with the appropriate socket or nut.

Laptops used to have more modular parts. I recently picked up my beloved old 1400cs, and was shocked by how bulky and heavy it was. Unless you want to go back to the days of bricks, this is the price we pay.

One day, someone will design a smaller and more durable removable connection. The fact still remains, however, that ya canna change the laws of physics.

The woman was also successful in business, successfully rooted out corruption at several levels of government, and was the only person in the campaign to have ever held a real job in the private sector.

She, of course, had to be stopped.

If he had gotten rid of them, he desperately wanted the world to think he hadn't; perhaps it was his way of continuing to seem powerful.

The point is, however, if you point an unloaded gun at a cop, you can't complain later when he shoots you.
