In other words: Cyberbunker is not currently under assault by police, and we have only their word that they ever have been. I suspect that at one time they were successful in having visiting cops think nobody was home by being real quiet and quickly turning off all the lights.

This is the second company called Cyberbunker in this bunker. The previous one, also closely tied to cb3rob (the Kamphuis in TFA) had 'problems' like a fire in their XTC-laboratory, after which the CEO and some staff spend months in custody.

Read the actual document people.

This is not policy.

This is not even draft policy.

THIS IS NOT EVEN RESEARCH INTO POLICY.

This is a PRELIMINARY REPORT that looks at potential solutions to rising energy costs and e-waste within the EU by helping people use less power. It merely outlines a variety of means through which this can be achieved in the EU. What is outlined in the shambolic article above is merely one part of this large, well sourced report.

Yet more BS made up by Europhobes.

Damn. Fresh out of mod-points, and somebody says something insightful instead of -1 troll or -1 flamebait.

FWIW: I have 5 different models of nokia-charger. Some are 'backward' compatible (ie: it takes a day to charge your phone), others wont even fit the wrong phone. I have 4 different models of motorola-charger (all are mutually incompatible. the plug fits, but it doesn't charge).

I have two models of Apple charger. Both use an USB-connector and a cable. One is slow, the other is fast, but only when charging my iPad. iPod and iPhone charge at the same pace. Better still: iPad, iPod and Iphone charge from any USB-port. iPad charges slow, iPod and iPhone charge at usual speed.

From where I'm standing Apple has been doing what the EU wants since 2003.

> milk exists within a somewhat healthy market

In short: big supermarkets reduce the price they pay for milk, causing farmers and milk processing plants to operate at a loss. Big supermarkets claim the price cuts are for the good of everybody because of the state of the economy and bla and bla.

The simpel fact that you need to lie about all the presumed horrors that mountain lion brings tells more about your motivation than about mountain lion.

(To bypass the signature check, control-click the app, select open, and you'll hear no more from mountain lion about signatures.. The 'warnings' and 'lies' you describe have yet to be seen by me.. )

Could you be so kind to post the other reasons?

I have been using UNIX/linux/BSD and odd stuff like BeOS, System 7/8/9, OS X, Solaris/CDE, IRIX etc for 15 years.

Never found a solid reason to use windows, and now you tell me there's more than one reason _not_ to run windows?

That is one alternative reality I must grab..
