Arrrgh, yes. Because "a McDonald's Quarter Pounder might be known as the McDonald's 113-Grammer, John Henry's 9-pound hammer would be 4.08 kilograms, and any 800-pound gorillas in the room would likely weigh 362 kilos", while (failing in) an attempt to show knowledge of the SI system, is severely lacking in basic math.
For colloquial measurements, no one would do conversions with 3 digits of precision. It might be a Hecto-Burger, or a 4 kilo hammer, or a 400 kilo gorilla. (does anyone say "kilogram" instead of "kilo" when the context makes it obvious that the reference is to weight [or mass, for the truly pedantic]?) Trying to play the 3 digit conversion game indicates an agenda designed to make it seem the SI system is more complicated than imperial units. Hint: it's not.
"Only the dumbest, laziest hacker is stopped by the "username or password is incorrect" sign in. You gain no security, yet your customers lose clarity."
By your own admission, you gain, at the very least, security from dumb, lazy hackers.
Key word: "will," and that's just an unsupported supposition. France is stopping oil exploration now, and oil pumping by 2040. Where are France's current hydrogen powered aircraft, and where is their nuclear powered freighter design and construction occurring so they're operational and commercially feasible by 2040, and not just some government subsidized research project?
"the invisible hand of the market will take care of everything."
That's a great idea. No longer being common carriers, every local municipality and private landowner whose property their wires pass through should feel free to demand access payment, and cut the lines if they refuse. Fair is fair - free rights of way exist for regulated common carriers serving a public interest, not for unregulated for-profit corporations.

As they say - What goes around, comes around.
My wife has an iPhone 5s, you insensitive clod.

Mac? What about Apple ][ (Apple Trek), or the original computer game? (I first played it on an IBM 3270 connected to an Amdahl 470V/6.)
Oops. Apparently there are Lisa emulators, although the Wiki links don't go anywhere.
So, you've never heard of an emulator?
No, there's currently no Lisa emulator, but until now there would be no point without an OS to run on it.
Of course it is. But, it's entirely aboveboard, unlike the secret (at the time) Russian interference.
That's not to say the US isn't doing their own dirty tricks in secret, but that's not what the article is about.

"customers would get back about 75% of the value of the crypto-currency they have lodged with the exchange."
So their customers are back to where they were a week ago?
You started out on the right track, but then went to laser printers.
An Epson MX-80 is what he wants - the ribbons take years to dry out.
It's not like Apple hid what they were doing. This was all spelled out clearly in Apple's release notes: "Bug fixes and feature enhancements."
"Hydrogen will work for aircraft."
Key word: "will," and that's just an unsupported supposition. France is stopping oil exploration now, and oil pumping by 2040. Where are France's current hydrogen powered aircraft, and where is their nuclear powered freighter design and construction occurring so they're operational and commercially feasible by 2040, and not just some government subsidized research project?
"the French will be happily reprocessing nuclear fuel and laughing at the schmucks who are still reliant on fossil fools."
Wait, France has nuclear powered aircraft and ocean freighters? They've been keeping that a secret.
That and much, much more in Ted Nelson's Computer Lib/Dream Machines.
You're forgetting about The Walking Dead.
"The intensity of radiation passing through any unit area is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the point source."
Cellphones are not isotropic radiators.
People still use the Bookface, so why not?
Hey, if it's not NSA approved spyware, it's outlawed!

In exactly the same way bicycles provide competition to automobiles.
I see the problem. You don't understand the difference between cable TV and Internet service.

"What sort of damages can Minix claim, here?"
Didn't read the article, did you?
It's all set in wood ("poplar apps").
"read the Bible, and live in the real world "
You're seriously deluded if you think a bunch of ancient myths are anywhere close to reality.
(Or, maybe you're just a really good troll.)
For the most part, our kids had more fun with the cardboard boxes the toys came in than the toys themselves.
Playing with a box encourages imagination. Playing with some intricate, structured toy just indoctrinates kids to fit in with societal expectations.
