I love the idea of the device, but I have doubts about international shipping costs. It's hard for me to imagine buying a product, 50% price of which is shipping costs :/

Wouldn't making EU single market and getting rid of geoblocking pretty much remove regional pricing? The piracy then would surge even more, because in Eastern Europe you can't expect people to spent 10% of their salary on a new vi

Android has competition in form of iOS. Windows doesn't have any competition with same level of polish. Linux experience is still broken for many people, from the moment of boot (many display changes, flashing loading screens, text mes

Unfortunately, ending geoblocking also means ending regional pricing :/

Interesting. Do you know if there are any cultures in which women prefer shorter men?

Wow. To be honest, that's what most "Windows screenshots" look like for non-Windows projects. For some reason people have an aversion to newer versions of Windows and Aero is usually disabled for screenshots. Similar thing is

Players overwhelmingly vote with their wallets in favour of DRM. Just wait until some day Steam servers get shut off, the backlash will be massive.

Not necessarily. While one of the main goals of EU was bringing peace to the region, it is hard to establish how important it is in bringing peace to the region. Might as well say NATO fills that role good enough, because there hasn't

That's not true. Schengen is about lack of border controls. Being able to travel without a passport (using only national ID) is a EU thing. As a Polish citizen, I can travel to UK or Ireland without a passport, but I still need to go t

What is so good about it? I haven't played it, but from what I've seen it looked like a fairly generic monster shooter, except without a cover system.

Just as freedom of speech, there's no freedom of speech in Europe as it is in the US. You can get arrested in Europe for writing unpopular opinions on Twitter or Facebook ("hate speech").

Reminds me of that South Park episode where they take cough medicine to get great ideas, decide to write it down, then when they get conscious again they find out all they had written were some squiggly lines. Could be an urban legend of so

Why are option types that force you to check the value for null good, but checked exceptions are frowned upon?

Not really, when learning the language, most people will see it just as "stuff you do to make a main function". It's just as you don't have to look inside stdio.h to be able to #include it for a hello world program.

I have to partially disagree. With stuff like webapps or Electron, we still have the same GUI on all platforms rather than using the native widgets. Also JavaFX is drawing it's widgets themselves, and I wouldn't call JavaFX '

We would have to probably ditch the content creation applications we have right now too. I mean, Electron and web based apps are nice for stuff like a weather widget, simple music player or a gallery application, but I don't see it bei

Internet has worked before the age of widespread advertising. It will prevail. It might just not be the internet we are having right now. Perhaps it's time to go back to p2p services, simple lightweight websites hosted from home.

I don't feel wrong pirating music or movies (especially considering it's legal in my country). I think trying to apply laws of limited amounts of goods (physical objects) to unlimited amount of goods (digital files) is silly.
