THANKS. Now I can't un-see that image...

Of course, whether they made 80,000 of them - or just 8 - is not something they're gonna tell us.

Oh, see, there's your problem right there - you appear to live in a country with a sane government.

Did you test drive the car before the purchase? If so, did they let you drive it off the lot without recording enough personal info to be able to identify and find you, if you decided not to return their vehicle?

I don't think most people think things through enough to even consider the privacy implications of having a camera on their television.

This just seemed like an obvious swing-and-miss on the part of the manufacturers. TVs are passive consumption devices, and that's exactly what people want them to be.

It's nonsense to call this is "a 50 cent item".

A skein of a good quality yarn is gonna set you back several bucks.

I remember, back in the day, buying (or being gifted) some iPod Socks. At $30 for a set of six, they seemed a bit overpriced... but they were occasionally handy to have.

I can't imagine why anyone would spend 6-8 times as much for a single sock - even one with a strap.

OH! FINALLY!

Sheesh, it's taken me two freakin' days (and a dupe) to get your joke!

THIS will end well...

Well, see, in Russia they always end Rocky IV right after Ivan Drago kills Apollo Creed.

Today, the robot fell.

Tomorrow, I imagine its main developers are likely to fall out of some windows.

Heck, why stop there?!

Any self-respecting Slashdotter would DESIGN AND BUILD THEIR OWN TABLET! And fork their own custom Linux distro to run on it!

Nickels cost $0.14 each to make, so one could easily make the case for getting rid of them too.

That is, if there had been any actual thinking behind this move - versus just one more random fixation by the addled elderly toddler-in-chief.

Well, not that shocked.

I wonder if it's possible to write a uBO filter rule that replaces that ad with this video?
