   I thought waterproofing came late to iPhones, like version 7 or 8. What would the reason be before that given environmentalism as a strong motivator?

   I feel you. I just bought an exceptionally boring car in large part because it is meant to be largely user-serviceable. Sorry you got stuck with that problem. My point was that GP made a strong assertion that didn’t quite bear up to scrutin

   With respect, then, why do you think iPhone or iPad batteries can’t be replaced by the average user after a decade and a half?

    I think we're learning these stories are more common than dentists want us to know.

    Thanks for sharing. I have indeed had long slow injections and seemingly every other way to deliver local anesthetic. It hurts but that'd be fine if it worked. Doesn't work at all with me. I feel like I'm being drilled, elect

    The custom PC components are already finished goods by the time they get to your PC assembly person. Most of the markup is already baked in. I would in fact expect to pay $120 or so to have a PC assembled for me, so we still get to the $150

    The implications of the work done by your former professor are so profound I can hardly get my arms around them.

    I love that idea, but it would never work in practice. Some thoughts: * Funding for any experiment would have to include 100% extra because presumably every experiment done would also have to duplicate another, randomly chosen experiment. T

    I live a couple of miles away from Microsoft headquarters and I have multiple ISPs available to me. And they all provide atrocious service. I assume it’s because they are oversubscribed, because they all provide high download rates yet stre

    The earliest demonstration of electronic speech synthesis was actually at the 1939 world’s fair. I think it was keyboard operated, though, and not driven by a computer.

    Rule of thumb in manufacturing is 5x BOM costs. This comment will be downvoted but only by people who have not been associated with a successful manufacturer. I’d be happy to pay $150 for this.
