it is, if all agree that original Kinect price was subsidized based on plan to get the rest of the money through purchase of games

by akoncius 9y ago
why it is "artificially cheap" ? price is result of supply / demand , and if nobody wants to live in suburbs then price will also be low. I agree that police/emergency/firefighters will be subsidised by district, bu

it is weird for me why Laravel is so popular now given that as far as I've read documentation, a lot of it is written in static class calls, which is opposite of OOP and all good pratices coming with OOP.. I understand that it's k

what is "specific"? is "we should exile all black people from our town" specific enough? where is the line between freedom of speech and let's say, emotional abuse? Should my statement "all jews are pieces of s

given that it's not automatic and it doesn't work on mobile or for people who have no experience in html, it doesn't work and it should not be even considered as a solution, because internet is not for tech-savy people and th

sorry, I mixed two different things which are kind of same - Russian empire before USSR and USSR. in both periods Lithuania was occupied by Russia. so my point is still the same - resistance against agressor is possible even for small count

by akoncius 9y ago
it is important to remember this book smuggling as a symbol that even small nation can resist against huge empire like soviet union. every effort counts, and as a result, we in Lithuania still use our language.
