"it is a bit less confusing... for you" - so the rest of the world, having realised that consistency and accuracy is more important than the light from nearby star? How do people cope in Binary or other types of star system? Answer: They just do.
"your sundial won't work" - well my analogue TV doesn't work, along with lots of other old tech I've thrown away or re-purposed because the rest of the world moved on. I'm still better off with what I have now instead, it's called "progress". Despite governments and wars holding us back in other ways, progress still happens, and it's still a good thing.

I was going to say "This is why Nikon provide a camera strap" but your comment trumps that, so here's a notification of my fail instead. (whether you wanted it or not!)

Oooh! He's going fast enough to kill a child! Won't somebody please think of the children! A plane is going fast enough to kill a child, doesn't mean its likely to, which should be the measure here. On the other hand, the rock is likely to.cause an accident, which is likely to cause injury or death to people who are not likely to kill a child. That's what pavements and.crossings are for. Troll bitten.
Here in the UK, you'd be arrested in short order for that, anywhere. You may be correct about traffic coming through the town too fast, but you seem to have a lot to learn about justice and proportionality. I hope a semi comes through and drops his load of gravel on your driveway. Maybe then you'd learn something about proportionality, but knowing people like that over here ("my car and my daughter are more important than everybody else, screw you") you'd probably be happy for the donation of ammo to throw at passing vehicles.
How ironic that despite you and I noticing how redundant that meme is getting on here, the "First Post" (below yours right now) quotes what you were _going_ to say, precisely!
Nice of you to offer, but they are a little far away... I live in the UK.
In fact - you've proved the points in your post - after all, if I loved them THAT much I'd pay have them brought here - but unfortunately the costs are WAY too high! Thank you though, the offer is appreciated.
I like Laserdisc players. They're excellent for teaching and learning about signals, and tuning - and how to use oscilloscopes. With parents who for some reason hated everything about my hacker ethic and computers in general when I was still a minor, I first really cut my teeth on a pile of these doing "Work Experience" at Crown Leisure - a pile that no-one else had been bothered with for at least a few months.
With the best scope in the workshop also going free (a beautiful analogue Hameg) I soon made a home for myself, and was appreciated. I took to tuning the players like a fish to water, and finding faults like blown components. The place had just recently started getting more "modern" with throwaway boards and other modern rubbish, and they'd stopped replenishing items like resistors etc., although there were still some in stock so my physical repair ratio was about 50/50, but the tunings all went well.
On the other subject, I still mourn the loss (through homelessness 3 years ago) of 21" Dell (Sony) Trinitrons. At 1600x1200x85Hz, they were unbeatable for contrast and colour quality until very recently, and even now "replacing" like for like with panels would be VERY expensive.
ps Can I have your Laserdisc players please? PAL or NTSC?:P The Sony's are the nice ones, yep, that's right, those lovely beige ones with buttons almost identical to the ones on Panasonic edit suites... I degress...
Coils, ferrite magnets, capacitors, resistors, various discrete transistors and IC's, wires, motors, transducers (build a whacky digital backup medium using VHS tapes!), chassis pieces to build new projects on, raw materials (steel, plastic).
If you can't think of anything, don't take it on. Recycling at the component level is VERY labour-intensive - one idea (and I don't want to give too many for free because this is my business) is to train volunteers for accredited qualifications in electronic repair and servicing (City and Guilds do a good course at different levels with almost that exact name). While they're learning, they can be labouring:-)
You are surely of God of Trolls, whomever you are. I have had stupid arguments with and bitten the troll apk many times.
I liked how you got it just long enough to display all the content, and yet the Slashdot renderer still teased me with "Read the rest of this comment" or whatever it says.
You had this ready for the next article to appear, didn't you? Helluva copypasta, baby!
The cop even jumps over things on land in a speedboat - and lands in more water! The plots not identical, but from what I read, you'll love it (and the actress is gorgeous in this film - and just starting out in her career - and still has chubby bits in all the right places (and I don't just mean boobs and ass!) - try under her arms, on her chin, and her cute round tummy - and yes, lesbians love her in this!
I refuse to take the credit; mine was a snarky reply to the actual best patent comment ever - the one which succintly makes it clear to anyone that in this age of fab-less production and freedom of information, patents are just stupid and almost completely stifle real progress, whilst feeding the fatcats (shareholders) who own and gamble on this world - unless it's *their* innovation, of course!
Not so long ago niche platforms and disparate architectures were slated to be good BECAUSE they were so diverse it wasn't worth the time to hack them individually...
I also remember a time not so long ago that Microsofties used to complain that the frequency and ease of attacks on public sites was due to their dominance and being a big target. I wonder what Linux admins say now, since they now dominate the data centre?
Uggghh, yuk... although by all accounts, the Chorley girls are far worse for tackiness than Blackpool ones...
also, I disagree, it would be right up that tacky, plastic, sleazy "King's" street. That's where he is, in a guest house, with Diana. Somebody prove me wrong, and while we're at it, I've yet to see even a sensible argument contradicting my sighting of the Great Teapot!

Woah, this takes "Where Have All the Gadgets Gone?" to a whole new level...
I'd rather be paranoid and alive, than naive and dead.
And just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you...
Also, there is no law against using "and" or "also" at the beginning of sentences.
Sorry to disappoint you, but whilst the misguided article and your post do cancel each other out, they do not cause a paradox.
We've yet to see a real paradox, outside of science fiction.
Just make hypno-toad pope, call it hypno-toad, and have done with it. Then at least none of us would be on here arguing about it....
Bzzzzzz.....

You quite rightly said that it'll be full of:
Coils, ferrite magnets, capacitors, resistors, various discrete transistors and IC's, wires, motors, transducers (build a whacky digital backup medium using VHS tapes!), chassis pieces to build new projects on, raw materials (steel, plastic).

You've seen Dhoom, I presume? Mm mmm... Esha Deol. She almost looks like a lesbian goth in the collar and cat-skin!
