you are so wrong, it almost hurts

Concidering mcafee has long since made the jump from antivirus to fully blown virus/malware, what were they expecting?

Without gazprom sales, russia will be hurting a lot more than germany without the gas.

Maybe if it was the start of a very nasty winter, but not at the start of spring with a good reserve.

yes, shocking, people who immigrated to a foreign nation finally had to learn the nations language, just like everyone else who does that.

Only in their case, they got to wait a bit longer than most people.

I'm sorry, but the fact is that the russians that lived in the former baltic states had the ability to learn the native languages for years, but refused in their imperialist pride.

Furthermore, there is always the option to leave the country they illegally occupied for years and move back to their own nation of russia.

Alfa romeo repair bills?

I actually haven't had hd-dvd, and i can see fine the difference side by side.

But compared to the huge convenience step from vhs to dvd and the quality increase, especially over time, blueray was unimpressive.

Dvd quality is good enough for just watching a movie, it doesn't detract really from the movie, unlike vhs's lines, speckles and broken tape.

The scam was that we traded in a ok system with a broken one, terrible copyprotection and other mess.

No, there is no push for 4k content and tv's, because the customers see it is the same scam that was blueray.

Barely visible quality increase at big costs, no extra convenience or anything.

As i'm living in finland, and we have the same stupid laws incoming....

The energy put out by the bulb is not wasted, it helps heat the house, which i have to do anyway 10 months per year.
The other 2 months, it's daylight 20+hours per day, so i don't need lamps anyway.

Who puts their router inside their office instead of their server room?

Sadly, it's not so recent as you think, just the media hype is more recent.

Bullshit, only in rally and low traction surfaces is skidding or sliding usefull.

Especially in highspeed racing, such as F1, they do everything possible to prevent it.

Right up until you do one time lose control and crash into someone and take an innocent life.

You are just one more of those dumb "the law wasn't written for ME" asswipes.

Bullshit, size is relatively unimportant.

Actually compared to finland, with it's low population density and extreme climate, 90% of the usa is piss easy to do.

It's just greed and cartel forming that are making it so bad and expensive in the USA.

Above the polecircle, it gets worse, usually only "edge" coverage outside of towns. There is a few area's that have bad coverage, but "dropped calls" is something i've only ever experienced outside of Finland.

The united states has a higher % of urban population than finland, and if anything, with that big a scale, it should be easier to make it cheaper, not harder.....
