A better solution would be a QR code sticker. You can change the water filter, then scan the code with your phone. The transaction goes through your phone anyway... assuming you left bluetooth on, which I imagine is the technology used for these devices. Better to just use the phone to begin with.

If Amazon would just slap a QR code on everything they sell, you could use your phone to buy another one. It might also be used for verification that a picking robot has located the correct item.

The state doesn't have unlimited resources, so by definition it should not make laws it can't or shouldn't reasonably enforce.

Alas, we know that's not how it works.

Only if you have poor reading comprehension skills.

Nobody suggested abolishing the state.

This rubbish is Office 365.

No. This is about Office 365, not about Office for Windows.

and I look forward to the day when all humans have been replaced by them.

They commit a crime that is punishable under US law, in a country that has an extradition treaty with the US. Think of the Kim dotcom situation, although he didn't get extradited, fortunately for him.

Check out his cool picture, carefully examining the wall in the NOC. The president already does have broad leeway to enforce sanctions, though; and he can even invade a country if needed, although if it lasts too long he needs permission from congress.

White roofs? Really? That's the closest you could get to insulation? You've got a long way to troll before you troll, troll.

I don't think you understand. After seeing all these strange articles, I have come to the conclusion that these are not April Fools jokes. A real slashdot april fools joke would have been witty and subtle. It is obvious that someone is using Samz/Zonk to spread their SyFy/Dice propaganda. Probably communists.

If you are reading this Samz/Zonk, message for help by making the first letter of each word of the title of the next article spell out "SOS". Be discreet about it so that your captors remain unaware. We will send the A-Team immediately.

Yes

Go back to sleep in your basement bedroom, wake up tomorrow, problem solved.

The rest of the world is so happy to hear that.

I suggest you take a break, have some coffee, come back after several hours when the insanity has passed. There's a restaurant you can wait at, M*s, lousy food but great view.

That sounds reasonable, there's probably some other stuff you're missing too, though.

For example, typically the thing college actors lack that 'movie stars' have is stage presence. That's more important than an ability to act like a sad hunchback or whatever. (Similar for instrumentalists.....it's cool if you can play scales at 180bpm, but if you can't move the audience, no one will want to listen to you play for long.)
