<p>Hm, interesting place to draw a line in the sand.<p>Then we can’t know if a country was a dictatorship ship until a ruler dies. Also, all countries with despots ousted and replaced by others, disqualifies as dictatorships.<p>I don’t like your definition. I’d rather look for rule of law and signs of democracy. Both of which are very scarce in China.</p>

<p>While true, that's largely ortogonal to why China is so very much a dictatorship.</p>

<p>There's something about the colors that made me fell ill to my stomach. The rose color, it's just too much Apple. And I like my rose colored iPhone. What next, Apple t-shirts? How much and how large Apple branding are we expected to flout?<p>At least the iPods are rather small and the phone fits in the pocket.</p>

<p>Reading from the other side of the pond, heating and electricity in the US seems so fantastically <i>complicated</i>. Where I live, the standard is water radiators for old installations and new. The last 20-30 years or so each radiator has a thermostat. (Bimetal, no electronics.)<p>That's it.<p>Somewhere there is a reservoir and something to heat the water. It can be anything, and indeed most older homes have been converted a few times already but nothing changed in the water system itsef. (For a house to have started with a wood furnace, then oil, then electric, then municipial heating or solar or whatever, is completely normal.)<p>The water either circulates by convection (very old systems), or with a pump. If the pump fails, convection typically still works, just less flow.</p>
