I'm from scandinavia, and had to import mine - now living in Belgium, I can get them in most stores. Try looking for online stores that specializes in (male) grooming.
That said, it seems that Gilette has a monopoly in many places - no idea why, 'cuz they are really not good with sensitive skin or thicker hairs.
yeah, the individual strands of hairs on my head are 2-3x thicker than average, which may be why just using an electrical razor isn't an option.*
Best solution I found is to use an electrical trimmer to get it down in size, then a proper blade to get from there to smooth. This way, I also just use the trimmer to get a "five-o-clock shadow" thingy on odd days (lazy), and leave it at that. Thankfully my beard grows very slowly, so I can skip days, or trim day 1 and shave day 2; this also turns out to be less stressful to the skin.
Actually-having-facial-hair race here, and I've yet to see an electric razor able to come close to "smooth-as-sandpaper", let alone as smooth as a proper Wilkinson blade will do it.
Ah, sorry - was thinking all of/. had heard of it;)
Jolla is basically the break-away group from Nokia, who took the N9/N900 software with them and created a new company and new phones. (overly simplicated)
Probably not going to be a big hit, or displace any of the big mobile OSes, but it is an interesting piece of kit, and ticks a lot of geek-boxes.
Sony might "do this already", but difference between my PS3 and my XBox360 is that I loathe how 90% of the stuff on the screen of my XBox360 (upon logging in) are various ads...
Nonsense. To be a successful terrorist you don't need a big pile of money, you just need to be willing to die for your cause. How much does it cost to make nailbombs? Or shoot people? Less than a lot of people spend every day, that's how much.
Is a LOT easier to hire a fanatic, if you can promise him (usually male, not always) a pile of money for the family afterwards.
I hope they are supplemented with regular luggage-tags - one faulty routing of your luggage, and it is in an airport in east timor, with no compatible tag-readers within 4000 miles...
Serious? How can Microsoft Media Center be worse than the thing they put into them now?

This will also probably also be good for FreeBSD in terms of its codebase as well. I expect Sony will probably be feeding back some patches.

1. Use FreeBSD as basis for PS4 2. Upload patch to FreeBSD 3..... 4. Profit from collecting license from all *BSD-related OSes and installations anywhere.
All you need to use them is a switch and a powerline bridge. No big deal.
Am assuming this technology can be trivially installed without opening/replacing anything already installed, for those that rent the place they live in? I know I cannot install/"upgrade" anything on the other side of the faceplates, so stuff like powerline must be external adaptors.
LIFX was apparently looking to use something similar (ZigBee?), but decided that instead of having masters and slave-units, they would add WiFi to all of them, and have a simpler product selection.
I'm slowly replacing our regular lights with CFL and LED (location/purpose-dependent). Over the 6+ years I've lived here, not a single CFL or LED has failed me, except where 1 was shaken loose due to house being on top of a metro-station (very small, almost constant vibrations). The main reason for switching? Is easier not having to replace lightbulbs:)
I'd suggest the following: * Make sure you're not dumpster-diving (bargain-bin'ing?) to get the cheapest possible CFLs. Quality is a factor * Check that your electricity-source is stable * Check that your lights are of a decent quality (dont come loose, bad wiring etc)
if I've understood correctly, all WiFi devices need to reply to a beacon/ping regularly, resulting in a slight (1%) increase in load for each device on the wireless network.
Personally I'd go one better and put it in the switch, as most wall mounts are in hallways anyway, putting it in the switch gives you an easy manual override (the switch itself)
LIFX, and likely all others, can still be controlled (on/off) from the switch. Placing the logic in the bulb is a matter of simplicity, and allowing renters to install it easily/trivially.
Disclaimer: I've preordered 2x LIFX bulbs, and contacted a 3rd party about getting support for them in a different system I use.

In some scenarios, things are getting more expensive on the Green side, it seems.

I grew a partial beard - less work overall

I've seen EvE being described as not a game, but as an experiment to see if you could get people to hold an extra, unpaid job.

Perhaps get a Jolla instead?

Google doesn't sell "you".
Google sees an aggregate or approximation, that may-or-may-not describe you.
Rooftop area is a limited resource.
No they're not - rooftops are all over the place.
An individual's rooftop may be limited, but from a societal point, we got shitloads of them, and could cover them in solar panels if we wanted to.
