An interesting topic, although the article could use some proof-reading. Or perhaps it was Google-translated from Czech?

How about differentiating by making a laptop which doesn't sound like a helicopter taking off when 50 % or more of the CPU is used? Now that would be something.

Do people who are popular live longer? Or do people who think are popular live longer? In other words, is it enough to think you are popular to affect your DNA?

OK, I get that "roaming" now costs as if you were home, but what if you're french and you go to germany and there you call a french number. Is that also as if you were calling a fellow french person, or not?

I was talking about the desktop version. If you want the features chrome provides, the experience is by far the smoothest, fastest and most integrated compared to other browsers. Don't get me wrong, I hate the RAM usage and the anti-pr

Your first point applies to any browser which has a large enough user base and allows for extensions. AFAIK, Firefox has the same issue you described and Edge has zero to no addons, functionality and options compared to either of the two. T

IE was a majority browser while being bad. Chrome is the best browser available (for average joe at least). No plea to use another browser will be heard, until there is an as-good or better alternative.

As does the light when it reflects off of the screen of your e-ink display, right?

If you don't wish to look at reflected light either, in that case you might as well be blind :). Even from en e-ink screen, you are watching reflected light from another source arriving into your eyes _after_ reflecting from the e-ink

The reason for turning off updates is (I believe) rarely that one doesn't want important security updates. Just as Ubuntu servers have an option to automatically install critical security updates and for the rest you run `apt-get` when

Well the point of lighting a room is that you want the room `light` and making walls that absorb light makes them not reflect light and then your room is dark again. So even if this was possible (which it is not), the idea would still be ra

I get it, but disagree. WW I and WW II is was both a lot more than a bit of misinformation. And by ops definition, we've been fighting a war ever since we invented language and the ability to lie and make up reasoning. A very sensation

Is it just that though? How did photography magazines look in the US around the same time? And if there was advertisement, was the ratio of content:advertisement as bad as it is today?

It's interesting how there was little to no advertisement in a photography magazine back then. Nowadays, photos are only a decoration of "digital photo advertisement pamphlets" baiting you to buy them for the six photos in th

Well there are other countries, contrary to popular belief. With your logic, the answer would be to emigrate somewhere else. But I think that's not the point.

I do not think the viewpoint itself is useless. I was just trying to point out that you cannot even attempt to prove it, since it is not a hypothesis. And the title of that article strongly suggests it is a prove to convince the reader.

If there is no hypothesis, the idea cannot be proved or disproved. In that case the approach equates with faith and it cannot (scientifically) be taken seriously. The article has a strong title, yet at least to me presents no arguments to s

Also, does this apply to free streams, or in other words not subscription services? It would be nice to travel around Europe and keep streaming for example the coverage of the olympics in my own language without the need for a VPN.

Maybe there will be something to watch regularly after the long pause? Let's hope nothing bad happens even though the launch frequency would go up by a factor of more than 2.

20 seconds of drawing with default parameters and laptop temperature went from 40 to 70 °C. Not bad :D. Nice work though, very beautiful and realistic.
