âoeMultiple retina monitors that fit in your backpackâ is a killer app.

> According to the Open Data Córdoba group (which is dedicated to tracking expired Argentine domains) Google's domain had not expired and, in fact, the expiration date was in July. But the group too was unable to explain what had happened or why.

Amazon is now Craigslist or eBay, with all the integrity issues that implies.

You earn a dollar. You pay tax on the earnings. You buy a medium potato with the remaining 70Â.

You want a big potato. You use your credit card. The bank pays the grocer a dollar and tells you âoeYou owe me a dollar.â

Then the bank develops an allergy to maple and runs away south, shouting âoeNever mind.â

You got $1.70 worth of potatoes for $1.00 work.

US legislators say âoethat makes no sense. You owe tax on the forgiven debt.â

Canada legislators say different.

Do you think you can get a forty-year loan from a bank?

"Alexa, add Beyond Burgers to my Whole Foods pickup box. Alexa, add Fabainaise Classic 32 ounce to my Whole Foods pickup box. Alexa, add Field Roast Herb Chao slices to my Whole Foods pickup box. Alexa, schedule my Whole Foods pickup for Saturday morning."

Ours was a TI 99/4A. Hooked it up to an old RCA 13" television that was previously my dad's bedroom TV, and used a Penncrest tape recorder for data storage. Had a whopping 16 KB of RAM on that thing.

I know this, and you know this, and it seems that many a Slashdot reader knows this. Regrettably, this is Texas - where many think that anybody who looks like they are from another country that is not Mexico is automatically a terrorist.

Beyond this, there's a saying about idiots. You can tell an idiot, but you can't tell them much.

Still, this is not to tell you to stop. Keep going. Just remember that you're not going to get through somebody whose brain pain is so devoid of matter that it's a vacuum. And in that regard, you have my sympathy.

...no really. Teach a man to fish and all that. Some of the best resources can be found at the local library for learning this stuff, as well as community colleges. On one hand, it helps that they are willing to learn this stuff - but on the other hand, it helps that they understand that you're not necessarily going to be available 24/7 for their needs.

...once it sells, I just might come back 'round and clean up my profile a bit, and maybe even start reading here again.

My top priorities for email service are quality of spam filtering, support for unlimited aliases, search, and rules. I think labels work better than folders for categorization. I have not found any Amazon documentation which addresses these issues.

Speaking in an absolute sense, you are right. Even electric cars need servicing.

Be practical, though. We aren't talking about just a few degrees of difference between electric cars and old-fashioned cars. The difference will prove to be huge.

Imagine an gasoline car but then remove the piston rings, gaskets, timing chain, water pump, starter motor and alternator (both of which mysteriously often fail), fuel pump, carburetor or fuel injectors. Petroleum burning vehicles have a level of complexity that is an order of magnitude greater than electrical cars. Of course they are going to fail more and require more frequent servicing.

In the long run, this debate will be moot. People buy whatever is cheapest up front. In the end, the fewer moving parts a device has, the cheaper it is. Count the moving parts.

The reason some Americans are concerned about this situation is because there is the very real possibility that in 20- or 30-years we could be stuck with automotive distribution regulations that are comically and expensively out of kilter with reality. Here in the colonies, business and government are often the same thing.

A $500 is disposable.

I've installed three GU10's at my house. Before, though, I did a TON of research, including tear-downs.

Most of the different GU10 vendors on Amazon are cheap Chinese crap-makers with names like Sunthin and Triangle or whatnot. I went ahead a paid a lot more for Philips brand.
