True, but it is a gimped piece of garbage, which Apple will obsolete after a couple of months of ownership.

Re: Oooooh, really?!?!?

They must have a lot of copies of their own software sent back to themselves then.

I was under the impression that in space, since you are at least going to be 200 miles from any national soil that maritime law applies.

I'm not sure it says diddly squat about what you can smoke.

I'm willing to wager she has tried this.

Look at you with your dandy tool. Engineers browse with curl.

Re: £1,149

> "a thousand quid on a phone"

this.

I could buy a car for that price. A fast car which would probably last 5 years if not 10.

I know where I'd rather spend the dosh.

Or, unless they have fixed it, someone else holds a photo of you in front of the lens.

Re: One word springs to mind

Hmm, a shower you say? I think I lost one of those in my beard in the 1980's

You know it's garbage when the whitepaper makes less sense than amanfrommars

Well if it is an alien communication beacon or propulsion system, they've fucked up. I imagine they have cooked themselves with it quite nicely, along with everything else in their galaxy.

That's the kind of engineering screw up that would make both captain Picard and his number one facepalm.

And I'd like to point out that proper beer is served at room temperature and never has any of that gassy crap in it in the first place.

Re: Yeah...

I have the regular XPS13 (which cant flip over). Great laptop, but also has a very difficult-to-open hinge.

You'll have more luck prizing open clams and mussels. To be fair that is just about it's only fault.

Re: Motorway median

Also I thought there was a reason for the gap between lanes. It's to stop moving metal objects from colliding with unpleasant consequences.

I can't imagine what will happen when you fill a gap between moving metal objects with more moving metal objects.

Re: Ocean ridges

> "I suspect most ..."

Given that your suspicion does not represent any measurable data at all, you wont mind if we feel free to roundly reject your hypotheses completely, will you? Possibly with added ridicule?

There's a good chap.

Re: Coming soon to the UK...

Prime Minister Corbyn will sort all this nonsense out. ;)

Amanfrommars, is that really you?

You're starting to make sense... Check those meds buddy.
