...no normal phones have the ability to video chat.
Where I live, a "normal phone" is a smartphone.
Lots of smartphones support video calls. Both of mine do, at least. They're both off-the-shelf Samsung Galaxys--one's an S1 and the other's an S3.
Which reminds me, I'm about due to sign another 2-year contract with my telco so I can get a free S5 and catch up with my wife, who already has one. Which also supports video calling.
It's also hella cheaper to use Skype for this than to dial it directly, even for local video calls.
Good luck getting my mom to use it.
Shit, I've been trying for ten fucking years to get her to quit using HUGE BOLD HTML for her emails. I've explained to her over and over again that she can use plain text, set her mail client to display it at a size that's comfortable for her, and let me view it at a size that's reasonable for me. And failed. Too complicated/scary.
Now... You were saying...?
There are no gammas or neutrons because they're all converted to 220 VAC, just waiting to be drawn off.
That's 120 if you're in the Western Hemisphere, of course.
I'll only be 89 in 2050, so I hereby offer to be your second.
Do you even know what a vaccine does?
Let South Korea be an object lesson in why we should not make an ActiveX "security" applet a nationwide requirement for online financial transactions.
TFTFY.
Yes, it's the same here in Sweden.
No, I'm not going to post mine.
This sounds a lot like my national ID card as well as my permanent resident visa card.
The latter constitutes proof that I'm a legal resident of the EU and is all I need to travel to most if not all EU/Schengen countries (maybe not the UK, I've not bothered to check). Forgot my passport when going on a trip to Budapest for a holiday this summer, and the security and airline folks where perfectly happy to let me fly in both directions without it, since I had the ID and visa cards. I no longer bother taking my passport on trips to the other 3 Nordic countries (I live in Stockholm).
I *do* take my passport when travelling to Germany because they tend to be dicks about it there if you're not actually an EU citizen.
I sort of hope the passport itself doesn't get replaced, though--you can't see the visa stamps on a chip or mag stripe.
(Hint: mobile browsers need some UI changes to enable informed consumers to make their own decisions.)
That's assuming you *want* consumers to be informed, and to make their own decisions...
You even provided a car analogy...
Pearls before swine, I guess.
I'm crushing your head! I'm crushing your head, silly little anonymous coward guy!
Green light + red light = black light.
How do you think we made the Jimi Hendrix posters on the walls of our rooms glow so brightly, back in the 70s, when UV fluorescent technology was prohibitively expensive for those of us in junior high?
...lower class is the person, not whatever their current economic conditions are.
Funny how you and I can think the same thing, yet come to diametrically opposite conclusions based upon it.
People who have bills to pay and have to go to work in the morning don't have time to be out causing trouble.
Check out the real world sometime. You'd be surprised.
Factorials were someone's attempt to make math LOOK exciting.
