  3. Whooooosh.

    (And the answer to your question is, "All of them except Nevada, IIRC.")

  4. There are literally hundreds of things YOU do on a DAILY basis that are over million times more likely than your note catching fire and FAR more dangerous.

    In case you missed it, those things--unlike the Note 7--have not been the subject of a government-backed recall. This means, (a) if your Note 7 causes a fire, you're liable to get sued into oblivion, and (b) if you try to sell or give it to someone else, you're subject to criminal penalties.

    This is the reality; any discussion of other things being more (or even less) dangerous than the Note 7 is completely beside the point.

  5. I own my apartment, and all my neighbours own theirs.

    Nice way to slip in your off-topic agenda, BTW.

  6. Not half as bummed as I'd be if I failed at reading comprehension half as badly as you do.

  7. No, you just have a crappy Internet connection. Thanks, kwerle!

    Not the FreeState nutter again.

    I'll just point out, as I've done before, that this boils down to, "We're all gonna move someplace where it's easy for us to take over, and fuck the locals and how they might feel about it."

    Who even cares about wifi cards any more? Seriously?

    I carry a separate wifi/mobile data receiver and attach it to my laptop via USB. If there's signal, it works.

    My receiver happens to be made by Samsung, but there are lots of other manufacturers to choose from.

    As a bonus, I can also use it to make phone calls.

    I have an Acer laptop that's been running openSUSE without issues since 2006. Despite being dropped down a flight of stairs by a butter-fingered Customs dude about a year after I bought it and cracking the cover.

    Not dead yet. Sorry if you're disappointed by that.

  23. less problems = problems with less

    fewer problems = not so many problems

    I suspect that you intended the latter.
