Microsoft and IE6 set the web back over a decade (throw in some Adobe Flash to add insult to injury) and Microsoft wants to whine about fair?
What they should do is say "Hey, we did the same thing 20 years ago and it was a mistake. We are sorry for being such assholes and screwing the entire world with regards to HTML. We see Google is apparently doing the same thing, and while it's karma coming to bite us in the ass, it doesn't mean it's good for anyone, so maybe someone other than us, since we are biased and anything but above reproach, should look into it."
While I disagree with what Google may be doing if it's intentional just to break Edge, I can't anything but joy in seeing Microsoft get fucked in the exact same way they fucked the rest of the world 20 years ago. I know I should be more angry, but I can't get past the fact that Microsoft is crying about being bullied the same way they bullied everyone else. So someone else needs to take the reigns on this and drive the discovery and corrective action (if possible).

Where can I get one of these (presumably) affordable 3D printers capable of printing high-enough quality to be able to pass any attempt at counterfeiting as an original product!??!
Counterfeit Etsy products of course.
There's no CTRL-F on a printed manual, so why bother when I can use an electronic one and search for what I want to know?

This... I never would dream of taking a Taxi if I can avoid it. I don't mind Uber at all. Taxis are garbage.
Maybe in places like Manhatten, etc.. where it's just dense population they work and you can hail them on demand, but less dense places where you have to call and wait for a Taxi, no way. But then again, Taxis in Manhatten are miserable pieces of shit in every aspect, so I still prefer Uber.
6 cents, not 60 cents. Just set your miner fee to whatever you want. It's simple. I'm not the only one... anyone with a half a brain can and does do it. You are an idiot if you use the default fees in your wallet software.
No, you set your own fee. I pay about a $0.06 premium for using bitcoin per transaction.
I literally do this all the time. Paying in bitcoin is often faster than cash. If it's taking longer, you're doing it wrong, and either YOU or the person receiving it is retarded.
I wouldn't...

Ink, paper, people, transporation, etc... that all uses massive amounts of energy. Just the transport of those bills alone probably uses up a considerable amount of energy.
The US Government spends about $1 BILLION per year alone just creating the currency. That's just one government, creating paper money. That doesn't include other governments. That doesn't include all the banks and their server farms, that doesn't include ANYTHING that is required to USE that money... that's just to create the paper money. In one year.
Tell me again how you doubt it?
So I get it, bitcoin is using massive amounts of energy to power it. But how much energy is used by other currencies? Both in the creation and the destruction of the currency? It costs a lot of money to maintain paper bills and coins. Keep them in circulation, etc... Then there is the processing cost of storing & transport of those physical goods. You need to factor those in to the cost analysis when comparing fiat to bitcoin, and not just say "bitcoin is using power lol!"
Yes, it uses power, but so do fiat currencies, and I'd wager they use about the same amount in their lifecycle as bitcoin does.
Indeed... as someone who grew up with tapes and vinyl... fuck off with that shit.
No, charging a car from 0 to 250 miles takes about 25 minutes. Yes, longer than filling a gas tank, but if you want to "fill to a usable level," you only need about 5 minutes, ten at most.
No, you just stop at a DCFC and charge for 5 minutes or so. You're not screwed by any means.
For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
