I though I read here on Slashdot that the cause was determined to be insecticide poisoning and there are other news reports to that effect?

You do you think you're calling a "racist shit-bag" you ignorant woke piece of crap

It's not about the free market, it's about political correctness and cancel culture run amok. In 2015 Obama praised Dr Seuss books for their message of inclusivity but now suddenly they're not, so is Obama a racist now? This is about people looking for offense everywhere they look and people and company's being so afraid of being labeled "racist" that their overreacting to the slightest little complaint from everyone.

No one is forcing anyone to buy them so is just seeing them for sale so disturbing to some people that they have to be removed? That's just crazy.

The customers of ISP's pay for internet service, to my mind they pay for access to use the highway and what they do with it is up to them. For example Comcast throttled Netflix and wanted money to not throttle them or offered them colocation services so Netflix could have streaming servers on Comcast's own Network which is what Netflix did. But then Netflix ended up raising their prices to pay for the additional costs so the customers who were already paying for internet ended up paying more on the backend for the service that they were already paying for. To my mind this isn't right, the customers of Comcast who use Netflix shouldn't have to pay twice for their internet service and let's be honest Netflix competes in a certain area with Comcast so it may have also been vaguely anti-competitive. This should not be allowed.

That's just crazy, if the kindle version $4 more than the printed version.

A couple years ago I bought a Amazon Kindle ereader for the convenience but when I see a book that I'm buying be $7.99 USD for a paperback and $6.99 for the Kindle version I can't help but think there's something wrong. The ebook version should be half to 3/4 the price of the printed version.

I'd been using a flip phone prior to 2010 when my girlfriend bought me an iPhone 4 for my birthday; then upgraded to a 6 when it came out (so four years there) and I'm still using the iPhone 6 six years later. When you pay $1,000 for a high end phone it better last 5-6 years barring accidents etc. for that kind of money.

At $19.00 that's more than an Adult Read3D full price ticket; epic fail.

My mother who's now legally blind and has been losing her sight for the last 15 years is having so many problems with software on Windows 10, the web and her phone that she hardly uses them anymore. Her eye condition also makes her colorblind and certain popular color schemes on websites make it impossible for her to read i.e. white text on a blue or red background just appears as a uniform shade of gray and Bank Of America is one of the biggest offenders. Likewise Quicken which she's been using since the late 1990's has very little support for changing font sizes and colors and the last two versions have lost almost all support or don't work well with screen readers. I've worked on trying to get her to use the Windows Magnifier, tried display scaling and any number of other things and most of the programs she uses just don't seem to work well with any of those things.

It seems to me that no one cares or want to invest in making applications, websites and phones specifically for people who are visually impaired and I've taken her to a special center for the visually impaired and the various solutions they've offered are so hard to use that they're practically worthless. And it also seems to me that many websites and applications vendors (such as Intuit) are in violation of the Americans with disabilities act by failing to offer a version of the website or application that's in black and white only or giving the option for a theme that's B&W only.

I was typing that comment from memory and I did in fact misremember what the two types of batteries that were hyped were (what I read was not Zinc air battery) Lithium-Sulfer Air battery and Aluminum Air Battery; these are Slashdot articulates and if you search you can find them in the last year or two's old history.

How many times have we seen posts like this promising some breakthrough, better batteries seem to be one of the more frequent and yet we still don't have on the market a carbon nanotube enhanced battery nor a Metal / Zinc air battery despite seeing similar promising breakthrough posts on those as well.

I haven't used the built in Windows Backup tool since Windows 7 as it's not been really updated in a while but Macrium Reflect has a free version that will create an image backup and a bootable restore disk or flash drive so you can restore an image from a USB hard drive and that's what I've been using the last 6-8 years so if MS removes the built in utility it's not a big deal as far as I can tell.

So what German law is it exactly that allows a company to "own" a color and how did they determine that the two colors are identical? If they're two different Pantone colors how can the court say they're the same?

Apparently it didn't do well at the box office and suffered from bad reviews but I found it just a ton of fun and these days it's now got lots of positive reviews on IMDB
