Uhmm... Hi Johan, since you now published your address, I got to ask: Is your car burning yet?

This is VAT. Everybody pays VAT. Rich and poor. I know, that is a foreign concept to an American, but Sweden is not in America.

The 'old fashioned' big American GE washers and dryers are easily repairable. After 15 years of use, I ordered two 'overhaul kits' for a few dollars and installation took about 30 minutes, after which they were good for another 15 years. The overhaul kits contain all the washers, seals, rollers, belts and whatnot that always wears out and a detailed booklet on how to install it, complete with warnings about: Don't do this, since you may cut your fingers. The Chinese/Korean stuff you can't repair even if you can find the parts, because it is usually a clip on one time assembly or spot welded so it breaks when you try to take it apart.

Cool! Now we can have viruses and malware on embedded systems. It will make the https://internetofshit.net/ so much better.

My guess is that you gave up with Linux in about 2001.

Wot? They added features to Nautilus? That is unpossible.

Holy firewalls.
I'll be here all week folks.

Judges don't need new laws to make decisions. New laws may actually hamper them more than it helps. That is why they are called Judges. They judge.

Cheap taxis are dirty. Clean limo taxis are expensive. Lots of people want their own clean cars with some personal stuff permanently lying inside - sports gear, hats, gloves, umbrellas and more. Shared cars can't offer the same convenience.

OK, but you don't think that keeping 999 spare printers in storage under your desk is a bit extreme?

You almost made me snort my coke... The 'vent' they are talking about is a GoreTex vent. It lets air and water vapor through, but not liquid water. It helps to keep the inside of the phone dry.

They removed the jack to save a few million Renminbi. That's all. Not enough people used the jack, so it was dropped to lower the production costs. I have never used a cell phone jack and looking around me, it is obvious that there are lots of people that don't like to plug schtuff into their ears - the plugged ins are a small minority.

We need 'Electric Monks'. http://theelectricmonk.com/Ele...

The 'beneficial' effects of religion is similar to Frederic Bastiat's 'Broken window falacy'.

Hispanic is sexist. How must the Herspanics feel about it?
