meh i don;t know if this would/could apply to cables, but definitely chargers. also i can see where a device could get a prompt saying if the charger had a valid cert (not date valid but manufacturer valid). i have bought "apple" chargers that look like apple except for a minor detail that only becomes apparent when the charger doesn't work. I am assuming you would have the choice to trust a cert from a non -apple- manufacturer or bypass the warning to check for certs like we do with browsers today.
you mean my self funded cancer research lab is not the right way to proceed in medical development?!!! god i feel like i wasted the last 4000 years learning and developing all the knowledge myself because, you know... i don't believe in other people being afforded care, morally speaking:)
i guess its a question of priority or what is important to the spender, I mean i have wasted enough money on games but typically it was for a new addon location or heck a game it self costs money that you could choose not to spend. but skin... i would much rather they allowed a user to customize it themselves with mod-tools.
especially when there is no resale value as you mentioned.
fort-nite is interesting phenomena to me, i mean you are literally throwing away money on something that changes the skin for your character... no game play, or mechanic, or item upgrade... just looks... i guess people also pay for porn so there is that!!
umm... you know how civilization works... right?!!! i guess you could decide to be out in the middle of no where all by your lonesome self... in which case, get the fuck off the internet
its designed to appeal to insta-crowd where appearance mean more than substance. but then again there probably was an equivalent money grab going on back in the goodoldays...
its all about the economy... now and always. its just that before nukes (i am looking at you Ukraine) a foreign country could force its will. Now it has to do so with political sabotage or economic sanctions.
I would compare Canada rather than a third world country like Brazil to get a better equivalent scenario.
There are limitations even in Canada and they kinda do a funny thing about number of caregivers and specialists because in the end it is the Govt of Canada that pays them.
actually nothing stops people from getting additional medical coverage in EU, so if you felt a particular need to enhance the basic protections you can still get the coverage as a young/old patient or guardian of such.
"most advanced CPU" i tend to agree, we can "ignore" 1-4 and work towards a more advanced cpu and eventually get there... id don't have any clue what would be considered an equivalent CPU but at least we have a good model.
Slashdot Mirror
"anti-MS haters" so... MSturfers?

but not for upgrading as apple would like us to...
also still doesn't justifies the cost markup.
Hopefully, this will help Al score more touch downs then ever before.
Fuck you mark

sounds about right, i am willing to pay 9% more in taxes and not have the 20% that i pay for the employer provided healthcare...

as to your second point, again nothing is stopping you from saving for your nest-egg as a EU citizen.
i pay 20+k a year for my employer provided healthcare for my family and save a max 18k for my 401K... clearly we can manage the numbers either way
actually nothing stops people from getting additional medical coverage in EU, so if you felt a particular need to enhance the basic protections you can still get the coverage as a young/old patient or guardian of such.
move along non-citizen, we have no record of you
i dont know about "all we need"... but i think without those the rest is moot
but then what would i complain about?
"most advanced CPU"
i tend to agree, we can "ignore" 1-4 and work towards a more advanced cpu and eventually get there... id don't have any clue what would be considered an equivalent CPU but at least we have a good model.
nice, and infinite # of if-then loops can be written in finite time...
