  1. LADP?

  2. You forgot Canada. Ontario and Québec are mostly hydro-powered too.

    The US doesn't borrow, it prints.

    1 BTC = USD$1,000,000 is coming sooner than we thought!

    There's supposed to be a poop emoji at the end of my sentence above. It displays when I'm in the textarea but disappears when I click on preview.

  5. Meanwhile, I can't see terribly many people who would actually spend money on this. It might get some favorable mentions in the press, but no one is actually going to buy this thing.

    Especially at that price.

  6. Yeah, I hate spiel checker too.

  7. The good: the size is perfect since all the other manufacturers seem to only release huge-ass phones now

    The bad: the features are just... weird. Why does it uses a face-photo-unlock feature instead of just a regular NIP? It's not like the screen is too small to display 12 buttons in a 3x4 grid.

    The costly: If it's supposed to be a phone for when you want to be "less connected" why is it trying to be a full smartphone in a tiny package? Why is there a 12 megapixels camera on the back and an 8 megapixels camera on the front? Ditch both cameras or at least the front one and make the back camera 8 megapixels, drop the RAM down to 2GB and lower the damn price. Why does this over-powered miniature toy phone costs more than most of the other low-end smartphones out there?

    WHO IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR?!

  8. Re:Too late on Google Maps Adds EV Charging Station Info (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    The Tesla app already lists all the charging stations from other companies?

  9. I bet if we do this a few hundred times, the only word to survive the translations would be "Norway".

  10. Then french and back to english:

    Why do people react to the whirlwind of the giant? If the data connection is a problem and you still need it, you have to pay for it unfortunately, but a really important data transfer (your sweetheart, your hat) is done quickly for some reason, do not express the speed? However, I completely solve the problem of breakdowns, data packets in magnetic broadband networks, fortunately, have never started in practice in Norway, but I fall into the hands of people who deal with this shit) .

    Buy the biggest, dumb computer monitor that you can find.

    If you buy one, you just increase their number of units sold which is a strong marketing bullet point.

  15. Re:The Wonky Keyboard Will Be Fixed Eventually But on The New and Improved MacBook Keyboards Have the Same Old Problems (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    I suspect it has more to do with Apple not wanting to totally reengineer the 2016/17/18 Macbook Pro until the next Gen is due.

    We'll know if that's true when they finally unveil their so-called "low-cost MacBook Air replacement" laptop. If it also has those fucking butterfly hinges, you'll hear about a lot of people dropping Apple and switching to Windows and Linux.

  16. Is it still true that Canon inkjet printers don't have DRM-style ink cartridges like Epson?

    Because the last time I read about it, Canon was the last refill-friendly printer company out there.

  17. CGA was a horrible "four colours" palette, with a choice between four equally crappy palettes.

  18. So... give them a good place to live, a good job, and cake?

  19. Total Allude

  20. EGA, almost.
    CGA? You must be joking.

    How about octuple-height?

    I think he meant $2400 for the 128GB RAM alone. You still need to buy the Mac.

  24. Yeah, like we're ever going to need more than EGA for the new flat GUI fad...

    The same reasoning could be used to never get insurance.
