Fastweb, but such offer isn't sold anymore. I see now they have the Mobile250 with 250min/250sms/6GB for 6€/mo. Or MobileFreedom with unlimited calls and SMS's, 6GB at 15€/mo.
That's quite overpriced, but I suppose it depends on where in Europe you travel. Here in Italy I pay 10€/mo for 6GB LTE, 600 minutes and 600 SMS's (which I never ever come close to finish).
I understand that some high-rise building sitting south of you might shadow you, specially if you live in the lower floors, but to me, as an European, it seems already weird that you have to resort to satellite internet in a city. I read in other comments of people still on dialup in freaking Seattle, and that frankly scares me. Is it possible that there's not market even for a DSL operator, let alone fiber? In Seattle?
Wasn't Creative doing something called Zen, that was supposed to revolutionize the world as we know it, and then nobody heard about it ever again? I have this vague recollection...
I've been very critical of Canonical in the recent years (the whole Unity+Mir fiasco) but this time I think they're right. You cannot fundamentally modify their product and still call it Ubuntu. If they took Ubuntu, disabled AppArmor, removed all the trademarks and marketed it as TotallyUnsafe linux whatever, that would have been acceptable, but I can see why Ubuntu feels damaged by this "European cloud provider" behavior.
Also, her fund raising rates are flat throughout the whole day, and totally independent of average hourly internet use. Somehow, she manages to keep the same fund raising rates at 3am and at 5pm.
So, let me get this straight. You start by saying that wealth is essentially production, but then you have people like Warren Buffet whose wealth comes entirely from stock options and dividends, therefore not production (at least, not his own). Again, you claim that by spending it all, it would only cause inflation, and no sustainable increase in demand. I agree. You know what would though? A $640/year raise to all Ford workers (that not including all dividends that Ford pays to shareholders, which I'm not able to quantify right now). Because that's money that won't sit in bank accounts, but will re-enter economy almost immediately. Of course, that won't cause an immediate increase in market demand, but a slow, but sustainable growth driven by diffuse consumes in the long term.
Well, once a Western worker is put in direct competition with someone willing to do his job at 1/10th of the salary, worker's rights are the first thing to compromise on. That is, if he's not just "reorganized" out of employment. Because yes, rights are expensive. Only a relatively wealthy society can afford them, one that has a meaningful redistribution of such wealth. The paragon you make with Asia is not entirely valid. In the '80s Asia was still a mostly rural society (apart from the Soviet block), the increase of living standards they saw was due to industrialization's more efficient production of wealth. Also, don't confuse rights with wealth. It's true that there's some sort of equalization of wealth between the West and East, but is it also true for worker's rights? See the point I made about authoritarian regimes.

Here in Italy Netflix has Doctor Who series 5 to 9, which I believe to be the last one.

Just the protomolecule building the Ring...
Now 47N is "so far north"?
He doesn't believe in horses. They're leftist propaganda.
Blah blah blah Ayn Rand blah blah blah Breitbart blah blah blah Trump...
It already does that, at least for h264. VP9 is accelerated only on Intel I believe.
They did keep it updated with security patches, it's just that the version never moved on from 11.2
Dude, you live in Switzerland.
My 2014 Motorola Moto G has two SIM slots.
Because there's prior art since 2000.

It can be disabled, but you need to meddle with the registry.
Nobody will ever notice, and not because the driver update process will be perfect, but because nobody uses the Windows Store.

Sure, tell it to all those who bought an Omnia 7...

1) Agreed.
2) Security through obscurity is a concept we all used to ridicule... in 1998.
He actually mentioned many times he uses Fedora as desktop/workstation distro, and in his children's laptops too.
All the patents regarding mp3 decoding expired, but there's still one covering encoding, and that's why only playback is enabled for now.
Political spectrum is not a single-axis diagram.
