Sampling a few of the device's in your link, GP's claim that the devices can't be bought still seems to hold true, mostly.
For example, of the devices on the first page you link to:
Can't ship out of the US:
-Acer Chromebook 13 CB5-311-T1UU
-Acer Chromebook 13 CB5-311-T7NN
Right, those are likely American models. My model in Germany has a different model number (it's a Full HD, 4 GB RAM model, BTW). I have it since October 2, 2014.
If the bite is fresh: put it in hot water for some minutes, rub ginger on it, and it's gone after a few minutes. The heat neutralises enzyms that cause the itching while the ginger has anti-inflammatory properties.
There will be two major companies remaining: Lenovo and Apple. Lenovo has Chinese support, and owns the ThinkPad line that is widely used in Business. And Apple is Apple.
Right, that's true. As I said, it's an understatement. Happiness is (IMHO) complete satisfaction. Fröhlich and Glücklich work just as well. This case is a bit difficult.
English is the world's language because the British empire was huge and dealt with even more non imperial nations, all of which had to learn English. They forced English upon the Colonies. It's position was further strengthened at the end of the 20th century by the computer industry, which is mostly US dominated.
The official position of the Chinese Goverment is that Mandarin and Cantonese are just dialects of the same Chinese language. One language for one people.
If they admitted that they have multiple languages, that would give rise to separatism. Their people could question the One China politics.
Up to that point in my story, what I wanted to say had been magically translated without me noticing it.
That happens to me as well, and I'm not bilingual. My brain does not remember words.
Maybe people who only have one native language think more "in words" and in particular think differently of abstract things.
I think that's true for many of us, but not all. You can tell me something in English and my brain remembers the meaning not the words, and I can tell it someone else in German (my "native" language) the next day without even knowing that I heard it in English.
Fixing that for you:

(2) Reformed current language with 3 f: Donaudampfschifffahrtskapitän
WRT Glück and lucky/happiness/joy. Yes, you can use Glück to mean all three but there are more precise words.
lucky is Glück, happiness is Zufriedenheit / Fröhlichkeit, and joy is Freude (or Wonne if you like old words).
Although Zufriedenheit is an understatement IMHO.
Also, the "the left-turning truck" form ("den links abbiegenden LKW") is also very common to the point of "die den Ball mit den Streifen gebende Frau"
Should be "die, den Ball mit den Streifen gebende, Frau". But that seems like a very formal way of writing.
As a German, I'd grammatically prefer "Die Frau, die den Ball mit den Streifen gibt", though. Avoids the nesting and is more natural German (den Ball mit den Streifen gebende is too long IMHO to be sandwiched in the middle of a sentence).
To make it more natural German, use "den gestreiften Ball" instead of "den Ball mit den Streifen":
"Die Frau, die den gestreiften Ball gibt."
Now it's also a great idea to write "Die, den gestreiften Ball gebende, Frau.". You would not say that though.
I'm interested: What do you think is better on a Samsung TV?
All reviews I read said that Sony TVs have vastly superior picture quality than Samsung. Unfortunately, I did not do any comparison myself, but I am very satisfied with my 2011 Bravia.
And Sony's previous UI was very easy to use for anyone who used a PlayStation product. Not sure how much fun that will be with the new Android TV UI.
As a bonus point, Sony (Smart) TVs are among the cheapest (followed by LG and then Samsung). The non-smart R series is even cheaper.

Convert to K. The only proper unit.

HTML is unlogical.
Yes, exactly.

2038 will be a whole new level. Machines will run amok.

No, if 56% use digital radio daily, that does not mean that 44% use analogue radio. Many do not use radio at all.
STFU, Mike. Nobody cares about you.
Don't forget the Mac!
That's fine, I was just saying we have other words that also mean happy, and might be more specific depending on the context than glücklich.
Right, that's true. As I said, it's an understatement. Happiness is (IMHO) complete satisfaction. Fröhlich and Glücklich work just as well. This case is a bit difficult.

"you and me" could also be "dir und mir". Anyway, I like "you and me" more than "you and I", even if it is wrong -- It just sounds better.
German sounds harsh to Germans too. At least me. I very much prefer English, thank you.
At least in Germany they do let you buy ThinkPads without Windows. As long as you are a student or working in education.

Android UI scales better.
Sony produces better phones than Samsung, better TVs than Samsung, better Blu-Ray Players than Samsung. Samsung only produces crap.
Cable doesn't cover everybody. Good luck getting rural Internet service below $5/GB.
Ever heard of satellite television?
Sony TVs are among the best, though. Incredible build quality and picture quality. Stupid Samsung stuff cannot even come close to that.
