You quoted the post wrong. It said "1.2v of power". Clearly the OP is talking about "the 1.2 version of power". Everybody knows LPDDR uses the 1.2 version of power. Don't you? Please read first and comment later!

The problem is that the consequences of BREIN's actions are hard to explain, while BREIN's motives sound good to the layman (protecting creativity and all that).

Excuse me? The layman in the Netherlands thinks BREIN are a pain in the ***, shutting down websites, proxies, making it difficult to legally (according to Dutch law) download music and movies. So, which motives do you have in mind?

It's a CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) heading our way, not a flare. A CME is a result of this flare.

Are you implying there are no traffic jams on the Autobahn? And motor cycles are forbidden to drive on them?

Belgium (notorious for lighting every square meter of higway, it looks like you're driving in broad daylight) decided to turn of every other light a couple of years ago. After the number of accidents rose some 25% they quickly turned the lights back on!

why would you let somebody else peek at your email? It's not strange they found relationships if they examined *all* the email data of some firm. I hope they had permission to do so... Okay, the email you send as an employee is property of the employer, but still...

I pay over 100 euros per month for medical insurance in the Netherlands. Yes, that covers 1000's of euros of possible prescription drugs or other medical treatment. But still, I'm paying. Oh, and the first 170 euros I have to pay myself.
