Like as if you'd want to use Windows own search. It's poor compared to third party search programs.

It is already. See: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsun...

We don't control robot vacuum cleaners either, yet it makes more sense to buy one than to rent one because although it seems tempting at the time to only pay small amounts weekly/monthly, you'll lose money in the long run.

It's less mystic than even that AFAIK. I think the word 'observer' is misleading, and it's better to say some atoms (or photons) got in the way of some other atoms (or photons) and affected the result in an expected way. Right?

Magic of trains: you can stop midway at stations throughout the main journey to let people off.

What would typically be the source of the whine/buzz behind a convector heater (non-fan), and an LCD monitor, and an LED bulb?

Compare your post with this one which gives a success rate of 84%:

I'm confused.

But 3 failures out of 19 launches doesn't sound bad at all (?) I'm trying to reconcile your post with this post which claims half of the launches are failures.

I don't expect perfection at all. Just curious why there was such a huge contrast between the two posts, and what errors or misjudgments along the way (by either you or him) might explain it.

It'll be interesting to see what percentage of SpaceX's launches fail.

I'm trying to reconcile your post bout bing the 'best' with this post which claims half their rockets go up in smoke.

Penny-wise, pound foolish.

Instead of removing windows, it'd be better to make the windows bigger to bring about a sense of awe to passengers. Or is it better to take out any wonder or joy in life and replace it with mere functionality?

They'd be far better investing in and researching electric planes like what Elon Musk has spoken about.

The world turning into Idiocracy, one step at a time.

In the UK at least, Samsung still seems to be the highest rated, along with Crucial who both get 4.8/5 from numerous reviews.

More eye candy? How about making it look less flat - you know, how like Aero used to look? You could distinguish windows and panels and widgets more easily, and didn't have to squint to be productive.

Or.... you could be Edgy!! Yeah let's go with edgy...

Do you have a reference for the coal rollers thinking this or are you going by your own experience? Be interested to hear more.
