If they are "like E-ink" and static images, then making an animation will drastically effect their power demands. You could make an e-ink one run off of wireless and a battery for months at a time. You can't do that with an animated sign. Doesn't that defeat the whole "low-power" appeal?

So what you hate is the information being displayed and NOT the display itself. Though, you bring up an interesting point. People like sale prices to be a special color.

It did last time

I also used to take Adderall/Ritalin legally and with full diagnosis. I do think you are blaming the wrong culture. The culture to blame is the drug paranoia culture, and not the drug abuse culture.

Thank you, I was beginning to think that everyone couldn't read. While this seems to be pro-NK propaganda, it doesn't claim unicorns existed or anything insane.

Wow.. Just wow.

Yeah, I have never followed this "Warren Buffett" self-denial. Most people who earned their wealth achieved their success by by being financially responsible. I will grant you that.

Except that it isn't recognized by any scientific body as a real mental health issue. Let me know when it is listed in DSM

Just a quick comment about "Big Cassette". That actually happened. Google "Bell Labs Answering Machine" and you will discover that AT&T basically invented the cassette 40 years before it was released but suppressed it because they thought it would hurt their business model(in fairness they were worried people…

Quick question: did you go to a doctor and did they treat you?

Yeah, this is just typical men protecting men who hurt men. If women were in charge, men wouldn't be around to hurt themselves?
