I'm pretty sure that you guys are making all this up. It looks like cern geeks keep inventing theoretical particles, then search for them, find something that almost fits, then theorizes that another particle must exist, look for that until you find something that almost fits, then look for another particle etc. etc. etc.
It's like those astrophysicists. They have no idea either and keep making up hypotheses, backed up by arcane invented maths using as many dimensions as they can so they can postulate weirder scenarios, trying to link up the micro-cosmic and macro-cosmic.
Anyway, doesn't all this reek of 'ether'? - You know - an invisible matter that pervades space?

What utter crap. The anonymous reader has it all wrong. It's obviously made up and is inaccurate and so are the assumptions.
1. Having MS apps is a boon. Better than the equivalent android crap.
2. Windows Phone has made a mark and a discerning buyer will choose this over most android devices. No need to root it.
3. If a manufacturer wants to go pro, then they will (and do) provide a Windows phone in their line-up.
4. Onedrive and Office+ the camera roll is a phenomenally good setup. Far superior than the google/android equivalent.

Don't allow your generic hatred for MS and Apple cloud your judgement. Do some reading and ask around before you poo poo the concept.

Yeah my neighbours don't talk to me either or even look at my house, probably because I go out on my balcony and pee off it. Now there's a large patch of burnt grass below. Also the wood floor and balustrade had started to rot at the pee point from dribble so I had to change my preferred spot.

A good post +1
Re: Hungary
I do believe that Orban has completely repaid the debt and threw out the IMF. There is a very negative view on adopting the Euro in Hungary as many Hungarians borrowed Euros but could only pay the loan back in Forints. The last I heard, Orban had changed this as well, converting these loans into Forints. He maybe a bit crazy, ocd etc and extremely Nationalistic, but in my opinion he succeeded in bringing the country out of a financial mess (and into another one :))
Slovakia with the Euro, has a higher standard of living simply because they're happy to follow Merkel's path. Hungary is soon to follow because of the massive re-industrialization by Germany (eg new Mercedes factory) due to cheaper labour costs.
Hungary as a people will not allow Russia or Germany to take the country again voluntarily. They need some respite after the last 100 years and the socialist opposition can see that plainly. They have lost ~ 75% of their previous dominions since 1919 with no thanks to the US. Consequently, there are huge minority groups of Hungarians all throughout the Serb/Romanian/Transylvanian lands and Slovakia/Ukraine to the north. The loss of land has seriously affected the economy of Hungary with no hope of reinstating political borders to follow the ethnic one.

Better to do both, standard rail to Tornio with a tunnel to Sweden further south.

Estonia and Finland speak very similar languages. The link to Finland by rail would open up the link with continental Europe, though I sincerely hope that the proposers include a motorway as well. Apart from ferries, you can get to Finland via Russia but that's a long way 'round.

Then they should be taken out and shot... or maybe forced to listen to the Guantanamo Bay hit list.
There were so many occasions where I purchased the CD, trying to replace a vinyl/cassette copy and ended with disappointment.
Thanks for the edification though. It just goes to show that the original mix was so much better than the follow up.

It's personal choice. Although I do like some of the apres Baroque, none in my opinion equates with JS who is light as opposed to the depressing negativity of the early 20th century. On that, I appreciate someone like Mozart, but I'd rather listen to Vivaldi.

Ask him about the RIAA Equalization that is inherent in vinyl pressings. Everyone seems to forget about this. Vinyl can't physically record analog dynamic range, so the RIAA EQ drops the bass a few notches that the amp SHOULD compensate before it goes to the speakers.
If you have the function to cut the RIAA EQ on your amp, then try it. Without it, the sound is thinner, bass response is clean but not there as much.
Even as late as the 90's, some of those vinyl pressings that were 're-engineered' for CD are terrible because the audio engineer ignored the EQ curve.
A common complaint on AAD CDs was poor bass response. That's why.

He's the man alright! I would look/listen to Elizabethan roots that influenced him as well.
Everything after him in the classical world seems to be a disappointment.

On local FM about a decade or 2 ago, there was a program that sent BASIC (cassette code). All you had to do was to record the code on your own cassette, load it on your computer (Commodore and Radio Shack) and bingo!

The only downside of this Damon, is that radio by wire can be hacked with a signal sent to make appliances use max or min power. I understand that appliances themselves will operate within their own range but I am not 100% positive that a reciever can be made to completely shut down or placed in standby as a spoofed power blackout. So there must be safeguards to avoid this, either by the manufacturer or by an add-on device.
