We have an English word for it too. Neophile.

Zyxel NBG6817. It's what I use with OpenWrt installed and it is rock solid and performance is excellent.

OpenWrt can be installed on Ubiquiti routers.
Another court case that proves a jury is far from scientific.

Yet people still do studies on alternative "medicines" and other stupidity like "wind turbine sickness." That is literally doing something dumb that everyone will hear about.
Wow... that would have to be almost as good correlation as vaccines cause autism. I have a feeling it is more likely due to easier access to knowledge.

How does a child having a computer exclude them from learning empathy? Do teenagers that are more likely to be depressed use social media more?

There are so many problems with this article.

I think something like "Server-nescient Web Application." Marketing departments should like a fun word like nescient.

I'm thinking the exact opposite.
I never reach into my pocket to check for messages. That is what my LG G Watch R is for, it gives me the information quickly and easily.
Except they don't "literally" explode. They catch on fire and melt, if you think that fits the definition of explode I have some fireworks that I would like to sell to you.
Except they don't explode by definition and it is just the persistence by the media plus fear and ignorance that continues this stupidity. This Galaxy Note bullshit needs to die.

Maybe you should think, "What would I feel if my father did this while I was screaming at him, throwing objects at him, and hitting him?"

Why do so many of these child psychologists not have children of their own?

Edit: This is hyperbole. I am talking about this particular child psychologist not having children. I understand it doesn't mean he might not have a great understanding of how a child's mind works but it means he has never had the stress of raising a child and knowing how hard it is to keep your cool with them. Especially when they are as energetic as my own children.

Replace aircraft with car and continue this conversation.
Less than .01% of the phones caught fire. The recall is crazy.
Change for something that occurred in less than .01% of the devices? It is incredible the kind of irrationality that is brought about by fear. It's the same reason that, here in Australia, there is talk of culling sharks after a single person is attacked.
Failure rates for rechargeable Li-ion batteries are on the order of one in 10 million cells.

How would this resolve any issues?

The correct response for when someone asks your wife why she doesn't have shiny carbon on her ring is, "because fuck you, that's why."
This is a joke. There is definitely no extension cable.

Anecdotes are fun!

That is based on a single study and not a fantastic one. I would be a bit skeptical of it.

Most of these "facts" you have posted aren't true.
Nope. Definition of a lobbyist: "A lobbyist is someone hired by a business or a cause to persuade legislators to support that business or cause. Lobbyists get paid to win favor from politicians. For example, oil companies send lobbyists to Washington to try to make life easier for oil companies."

A lobbyist is a lobbyist. It's not the label assigned to people who give input in general.

The vertical mouse thing being "ergonomic" is nonsense. There are studies that have shown this. From memory it was generally worse for you to use a vertical mouse in terms of productivity and comfort.

The only thing vertical mice reduce is wrist movement.

This is something I will never understand. Why would you reduce your work space by not extending the displays?
