Blue Square posted:gently caress me, teletext still exists? Now I've seen everything, in the UK it was useful for having an accurate TV guide given the issues with last minute program changes but everything about it was absolutely awful. I have to admit it was kind of cool (for five minutes) to browse if you were off school sick to see how inventive some pages were but still, how on earth in the age of having the internet available on demand across multiple platforms is that even still alive? I don't have a computer and a tv in the same room, it's a quick and easy way of looking up whats on TV and news/weather.

Yes they do. When the heat has gone from the CPU into the water what do you think cools the water? It's a fan. Unless you're boiling off the water but that might be too much for the electronics.

Mu Zeta posted:I can't name a specific European country but I remember reading a bunch of complaints when a website (giantbomb.com) was offering memberships but only accepted credit card. A whole bunch of people from Europe bitched and said they needed to offer Paypal because credit cards aren't as common over there. Maybe they are from some smaller country like Slovenia, i don't know. Credit cards are very uncommon, debit cards however are not.

Mr. Flunchy posted:I know it's a pretty stupid question - but why the hell is it apparently so difficult to build a sensible, reliable train?  It doesn't have to be. The Danish IC3 series has been in service for 15 years and going strong. Made by Bombardier Transportation in the late 80's and introduced in 1991 and still going strong. Together with the S-trains they form the backbone of Danish rail transportation. The best bit though is that they are made for comfort as seen in the interior:

It also allows for quicker recovery in case of a terminal crapping itself. I work with a standard laptop but all the files in a strange state of being both on my laptop and the server. I've no clue how it works but it's marvelous.

KozmoNaut posted:I've just ordered a Kobo eReader Glo (it has the same frontlight tech as the Kindle Paperwhite), since e-ink devices have reached an acceptable price level to me. I tried reading ebooks on my tablet and on my phone, but it just doesn't work all that well. E-ink really is something you have to see in real life to appreciate the benefits, it's hard to show it off otherwise. The only convincing image I can think of would be a comparison between a tablet and a kindle in bright sunlight.

Horace posted:I'll accept that manual gearboxes are almost obsolete now that modern automatics have reduced or removed the economy and performance penalties of a traditional auto, but they're still hideously complicated pieces of machinery compared to a manual box and I don't expect them to ever replace manuals across the board. Electric cars don't have gears at all so soon it'll all be for naught.
