    That's a comforting thought, isn't it?

    That is the first imsightful comment I've read here.

    That'll cost them dearly.

  4. Re:Obligatory on Amazon Report Predicts Pet Translation Devices By 2027 (cbslocal.com) · · Score: 1

    This. Pay attention to your pet instead of buying a stupid device to 'understand' it the few times you seem to care about it. If you need such a device you shouldn't have a pet. Or kids.

    That thing is at most five years old. A Li-ion battery can easily hold out that long if treated right. All your other poitns are still valid however. But it can also just be dumb bad luck.

  6. It's not the figuring out that surprises me but the fact that they don't die of shame doing this.

  7. Open standard on Amazon May Unveil Its Own Messaging App (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    It's time for the EU to mandate an open standard for messaging apps so you can choose the one you like and not the one most of your friends use.

    Also a Samsung? Mine has that too.

    My oven has a fast heating button. It heats to the desired temperature and stays there for ten minutes. You can not change that time, which is humungously stupid. I bake my own bread, and every time after the oven had heated uo I have to switch it off, put it in normal heating mode, set the temperature again, set the timer for 30 minutes and then I can bake the bread. Grrr...

    That's MS Windows for you. It has been a stinking heap of garbage ever since version 1.

    Add + NL to that. Sigh :(.

    That's interesting but is that enough to power a foundry? I still doubt it.

    Indeed. I still wonder how you can melt enormous amounts of steel with solar or wimd energy, or how you can make big silicon crystals with it. The energy density you need for that is so huge.

    $2 billion is so little for Shell it's laughable. They do that just to look green. My brother works there. I give him less than 4 years before he will have to look for another job. If Shell didn't have such a big voice in Dutch environmental politics (we are one of the dirtiest places in Europe and our government likes it that way) he would have been fired long ago.

  16. I connected a keyboard to my little iMac that way because I hated the keyboard that came with it.

    I suggest that next time you comment on an article you read it first, and if necessary try to find more information about the subject, so you don't come over as an ignorant fool.

  20. I always have them in my garden, flying around and being busy. Europe is one big porn set.

  21. When I make my nose go up and down a bit my rabbit answers me by doing the same. Very cute.
