In my opinion it takes a lot of "courage" to ask them to pay those taxes. That's quite "innovative" if you ask me. The EU is not just thinking outside the box, they're "thinking differently". And other puns...
I know they would cost more and take more room, but what about simple electro-mechanical indicators? For something to replace an multi-color/flashing LED you could get by with a simple rotating coloured disc. You can easily display four different states by having each disc quadrant a different colour. Rotate 90 degrees and you're displaying a new status colour.
For a simple on/off indicator a tiny electromagnet could push/pull a rectangle with two different states on each side.
The alternative to these complex and possibly expensive solutions? First of all use a normal LED, indicators aren't flashlights. Second, put a frosted plastic in front of it to diffuse the light and make it less blinding. Third, blue LEDs were cool when they were introduced, now they're just annoying. Blue is blinding, red is agressive. Why not switch back to green LEDs?

Oh, so that's what it means. I thought it meant Internet of Twits.

Hey you! Stop making sense with your facts! This is supposed to be an anti-Apple thread!
I see you've never heard of the Thermaltake A2021.
Funny, I just typed that in the terminal box thingie an it doesn't seem to be formatting my DV{#`%${%&`+'${`%&NO CARRIER"
You're assuming they've even heard of Vietnam.
I thought it was Scorpius?
yhe, ti hpasnpe ot em lal het mtie!
Do you drive a hubrid car by any chance?
I found it!
You mean a rip-off of Canabalt.
Death is also more sudden and certain because I've never heard of space sharks.
That's not the storm, that's Jim's stomach. He skipped breakfast so he's pretty hungry right now.
Yeah, who the hell can afford those 25 cents hamburgers anymore?
Forget your Coinye, what about my Flappycoins?
I'll have you know that I have many thousands of Dogecoins, currently worth dozens of american dollars.
It's like reading a Cardassian argument.
You mean nVidia 8600GS vs GTX 680, for example?
Yes, that's yet another hurdle in understanding their marketing numbers.
