1. Yes.

Just callin' it as I see it, nothing personal intended.

You would actually buy a phone that does not support any form of removable storage? That would be a show-stopper for me.

I responded to the post to which I was responding. Cheers.

Wasted attempt at humour. Nevermind.

Yes, but that happened in Mediaeval French when une norenge got misspelt as une orenge, well before the word passed into English (and similarly into Dutch, as oranje). By comparison, Spanish and Hungarian have naranja and narancs, respectively.

B-b-b-b-but that would actually make sense, and we can't have that.

...that at least one other person on the planet appears to be troubled by this.

Or spend less time on Facebook.

Oy! Rule #1 regarding the harmonic space toads is that we don't talk about the harmonic space toads.

Are you implying that Fusty is an APK sockpuppet?

Interesting theory. Please elaborate.

For that matter, who in their right mind gives their dog pork chop bones? Even if there's no meat left on them, they're great for making soup.

The local power company sells "Green Power" but, as best as I can find out, they just shove the "Green Power" into the lines and everybody gets some of it. The people who pay the inflated price don't actually get "Green Power"--false advertising and a bait-and-switch.

Do you expect them to track the individual electrons or something? This is exactly how a system like this should work.

Users purchase x kWh of 'green' energy, so the company produces x kWh and puts it on the grid. Sure "everybody gets that energy", but it was funded by and produced for those subscribing to the 'green' power service.

It's about producing power the way a customer wants, not tracking individual joules as they float through wires. That would be madness of the highest order.

Although the attempt showed character.

Which leads us to... oh dear, pretty much where we are right now. Because there's no such thing as "free for the taking"; everything costs something to someone, somewhere.

The notion that at things can be taken from nature without any cost is (IMO) the central and fatal flaw underlying unbridled capitalism. See David Harvey, The Enigma of Capital.
