I would expect that within EEA most of the regulations would be the same and I don't think it's the problem.

What you would need though is translated manuals and such by law. Maybe even localized support for warranties that could raise costs to enter a market.

This is only my assumption, but it would make sense, that's why they cover even smaller English speaking countries like Ireland. Or for example Germany is a big market, but they cover Austria too, because they have German language for free.

"they'd have to be a person I'd spend time with when I'm bored" - I don't think this is fair to expect from anybody. It has a similar vibe as expecting from a relationship to pull you out of sadness. You have to be able to enjoy yourself and your time, if you can share that with anybody and elevate it, that's just an extra.

> 1. Bigger animals have larger cells, so the number of cells does not scale linearly with the mass of the animal.

Where is this coming from? If I google "do larger animals have larger cells", it says the opposite.

I don't think the Venu line is "smarter" than the others. It's more every day watch design and has an AMOLED touch screen, but the functionality is nearly the same.
The built in Android calculator worked like this for ages and it keeps history forever.

Just reading this, I would love to have your problems...
It is not like it is censored in Sweden, it's just someone holds the distribution rights in Sweden for South Park. So, they cannot show it to you on their website.

So, there is no irony here, it's copyright issue, not censorship issue.

I thought the purpose of the advent calendar is that you can open one new box each day, but on this page you can open everything.
Re:Pirate Party Leader to Be Prague mayor on Friday October 26, 2018 @10:06AM (#18309311)
The funny thing is, my last experience with Prague was that I chose two random restaurants to go into and the waiters didn't even speak Czech. When I tried to speak Czech with them, the first didn't even know Czech not even a bit and the second knew a little bit of Czech, but she was more comfortable in English. ...to be fair the first one was an Irish pub and the second some Turkish restaurant.

Re:Facebook Secretly Saved Videos Users Deleted on Tuesday April 03, 2018 @08:01AM (#16743808)
What does this have to do with privacy?

Do you mean the delete button is a lie? Why would it be a lie? Can you or someone else access the deleted video from Facebook.com? Or in another public way? Isn't it deleted from this point of view?

I am not defending Facebook in anyway. I just don't understand why is everybody surprised about these things. Do you think if you click delete on a video on youtube, then it physically deletes the video from all of its servers?

Re:Facebook Secretly Saved Videos Users Deleted on Sunday April 01, 2018 @04:24AM (#16727332)
Why would they? They implement their system the way they want to. Also, this is a completely logical way to deal with deletions. This is what I would do, (what I have done, when I created a simple CMS system). I don't want an endless quarrel with a customer, who "accidentally" deleted something and wants it back. I just turn the switch and it is back.

Re:Firefox 59 released on Tuesday March 13, 2018 @11:18AM (#16576805)
Sure, I have. This feature is there for a long time as of my understanding (since Quantum, maybe?).

I have tried this feature when it was only in test pilot mode, but then I removed it (that was a long time ago). Can this be related?

A little OT, but how can I enable/use the Screenshots feature? I cannot find it.
