That's just so sad... "get out while you can" is something people in third world countries do, not a country like the UK.

I assume there's some form of auto negotiation? For what it's worth, I connected two laptops via USB, Nothing happened (though most likely they had built-in protection against that kind of bullshit)

Right, the US planned to exterminate Germans via immigrants. And by the US, you mean one loony guy named Hooton. And by planned, you mean he mentioned it as a possible idea.

(I don't know what kind of) news for you: US and UK are both such governments. With less action between the surveillance and the police I guess, for now.

Nah, having lived in such a country (ex-USSR), I'm pretty confident to call most of who still lives there stupid as fuck in regards to the bigger picture . When you live with such people long enough but still can't understand wha

Well, I dunno man, my parents have lived a pretty long life. If they had the choice between a long coma or death, the latter would be preferable. I carry an organ donor/DNR card with me just in case, if my brain is kinda dead or even i

On the Roma problem - they don't have children to milk the social system. They have them because family is everything and fuck everyone else. Hence, make more family so you don't have to deal with anyone else. Weird culture.

Only if it detects it uses a 60W cable. Which I really doubt. You can pump 100 watts through a 60W rated cable - it will probably work because the rule is "users are dumbasses, rate it for 60 on paper and 120 in reality". Or it co

Disappointed? Like, actually feel disappointed? I dunno, I just don't feel anything. Good things, bad things - it's all "OK. Next." But my general mood is leaning towards negative.

Huh so EVOs have proven to be not so good? I haven't kept up with that, I'm still using Samsung 470, 830 and Crucial M4 SSDs, which are rock f&^king solid, knock on wood. But when they were released, with their much lower pric

Yeah, remove the motorized part and it's a nice idea. I like multipurpose furniture and rooms. But the maintenance overhead is too much, unless you really, really need to save those 1-3 minutes on switching from bedroom to office...
