    You said this already idiot. Also, learn to spell.

  5. Great link AC. Everyone should read that.

  6. Does that apply only to Stockholm (and I assume other densely populated parts of the country) or does it also apply for rural areas? In the US there is a huge range of price and data plans depending on where you live, whether or not you even have a choice of ISPs. In my part of NY I at least have a choice of two but each year they try to up the price by $10 and I have to do the annual charm phone call. So far that has actually worked for me and I pay $55ish including tax for I think 50 down 25 up. It is not terrible, but it is not ideal either. If those calls didn't work in my favour I'd probably be paying something like $80 for 100 down 50 up iirc. They tried to 'upsell' me but I said I wanted to stick with the same speed and the same price. They also tried to stick me with a $50 installation fee when I moved recently. I somehow managed to talk them out of that too! Afterall, I just moved to a place ten minutes away, brought their modem. They claim it is not possible to just switch the account over to another residence (which I don't believe).

  7. Open coal fires in every room. Late 80s early 90s.

    Atheism is not a religion. You are stupid. Go away.

  9. Re:''children were being corrupted'' on Pornhub Owner May Become the UK's Gatekeeper of Online Porn (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    You sure talk a lot of nonsense. My children are atheist not because they were taught to be so, but because they were never taught that there is some supreme being controlling everything. In all of their youthful wisdom they find other children's belief in a god as just strange but what they have been taught is to tolerate the folly of these 'believers'. Atheism is the default state. Theism is taught. It is not innate. Personally, I had to reject and unlearn a childhood of religious bullshit and so I'm left with baggage I never want my children to have. If they want to find some form of religion for themselves, that is their choice, but for their own good, I really hope they do not.

    No. Letterman just is not funny. I always thought it was snarky humour for stupid people who like to think they are superior. Works for average intelligence people, but smart people don't like to be condescended to by a stupid sarcastic guy.

  21. Re:Not servicable on Would You Buy the iPhone 8 If It Cost $1,200? (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 1

    I have replaced the battery on my iPhone. Pretty easy to do. The only mistake I made was that I got the battery on e-bay (doh!) and apparently it was not the genuine article. It quickly drained after only a couple of months and then the battery swelled and cracked my screen. A lesson well learned. Ended up being a costly battery replacement! One I could not really afford. All fixed up now and my iPhone 5 is still running fine after 4 years. I still think it was worth the $500 or so I paid for it even with the additional repair charges (admittedly my own fault).

    Yes, but those cheap ones, if not made to the correct specifications (and many are not) can fuck up your battery.
