Errrr, UK prices for the Macbook Pro are the cheapest in Europe, even after the worldwide rise of 25%. So you are incorrect

UK pricing for new Macbook Pro is cheapest in Europe. It's in inconvenient fact, but this seems to have become a political issue, where everyone wants to prove that their opinion about Brexit is correct. Therefore factual accuracy seem

UK pricing for new Macbook Pro is cheapest in Europe. Sorry, what were you saying?

Except it's not because it rose 25% in all countries. Sorry.

"This is the result of the post-Brexit vote" This is nonsense; the pricing of the Macbook Pro rose in every country. Not everything has to be shoehorned into your personal politic viewframe.

I don't understand. There were 15 people jailed who took part in illegal activities. But the vast majority of Icelandic bankers did not take part in illegal activities. They just did a really really bad job. Therefore they weren't

The Pirate Party are not going to win the election. They are radical extremists. Well this is just my opinion, but lets check back next week after the vote.

Iceland did not "jail their bankers", where do you get your news from?

The story is nonsense - there's no evidence of any of this happening at all. Maybe a cleaner upplugged the router? Maybe his WIFI was playing up? Why not use a 4G dongle? The 4G is fine at the building, people are livestreaming from th

Bravo to them, but let's see this same movement on the European continent. Please, let's NOT see a wave of populist politics in Europe.

Exactly. The listed stimulants will solve a short-term need. But people here are looking for a long-term permanent solution that can be used every day.

The best nootropic is getting a good nights sleep. It takes effort! Preparing for bed early and disciplining yourself to put the light out is not easy. Not nearly as easy as popping a pill. But it's so much more effective than any drug

This is a limitation of the Cloud Drive services, I remember reading on the rclone FAQ that none of them support this.

Another thumbs-up. I've been using it to mirror to Amazon Cloud Photos (now called Amazon Drive I think) and it's rock solid.

That Atom is slow and eats battery-life is a consistent complaint by many many people, so to raise it is not "trolling".

Hmmmm, I'm as pro-Europe as the rest, but the idea of trusting other European countries with my BankID digital signature is basically a joke.

Immigration system for skilled workers is not going to change. If the UK actually does leave the EU, they'll replace EU rules of skilled immigration with something similar. The UK is a knowledge economy, it will always be open to skill

I think this article is completely wrong. The things that make London attractive to startups will stay the same. Not being in the EU won't change that. Additionally, it talks about UK attitudes to immigration, but London is completely
