I play UT99 on a regular basis. Not everyone's cup of tea I'm sure, but I get plenty of fun out of it, and it loads super fast.

Indeed.

I've still got a clock with a red seven segment display. I was horrified by blue ones when they came out. No way I'd have one.

I hate blue and white LEDs on anything. I usually put electrical tape or something like that over them.

So extra electricity used by screens. Extra electricity used to keep the coolers cool, because they are open more, and possibly cooling the monitor screens.

If it's anything like the autocorrect on my phone, this would be a disaster.

Helpful information. I'm no Bezos fan, but I had a pretty good feeling that this was meant to stir people up over nothing.

I recall a story from a Canadian on holiday during Canada's 125th birthday celebration (1992). They were somewhere in Europe, I don't recall where, staying at an Inn. They came down early and put little Canada flags on each of the tables in the restaurant.

The owner asked what they were doing, and the guest explained that it was Canada's 125th birthday. The owner of the inn said the roof was 125 years old, and the inn itself was 400 years old.

I'm often stuck in places with slow internet, where Gmail barely wants to load as it is. Will it be even slower with all the extra stuff that are not email related and I don't need bolted on? Putting everything extra onto that bar, and then allowing me to disable it so it doesn't load/appear would actually be a UI improvement. Otherwise it's an unnecessary change with no benefits.

Agree. Someone should snap this company in half while they're at it. Tell them for having the gall to appeal something they shouldn't have tried in the first place, they're rejecting the use of snap as a brand name too.

Sums up my thoughts on this exactly. Well said.

Person has diabetes, and a heart problem. Drunk runs a red light and t-bones them at 100 km/h and they die. What's the cause of death? Diabetes? Heart problems?

Was their expected lifespan reduced due to their health issues? Most likely. Would they have died at that moment in the intersection if the drunk had not hit them. Not likely.

Years ago I wanted a flatbed scanner, but could only easily obtain printer-scanner combos. Ended up with an Epson. I should have taken it back when it wouldn't scan unless I installed the ink cartridge. Long story short, it was crap, it broke, support was crap. I did a survey and it asked what they could do better next time. My reply was "there won't ever be a next time".

Meeting online may explain a bit about the choice, but to say that because they met online it only makes sense to have their wedding online is total nonsense.

I met my wife in a gas station convenience store. Would it therefore only make sense for us to get married there? Hell, no!

Today's new ad? I use FF and I've never seen it.

Imagine pressing CH or VOL buttons on your TV remote, and it goes to some server somewhere in the cloud, then back to your TV (if your subscription is paid up).
