Which, of course, is pretty much the same as saying they have none.
Remember back when the German authorities were noted for ruthless efficiency? Those were the days.

A terrorist, on the run in Germany? You might say he's a most wanted man. #getin #haveitQuote:

The krauts are such pansies these days that I doubt anyone raised a hand to him. He was probably treated with exemplary courtesy and supplied with halal food for the duration of his stay.Quote:

No, I mean that, unlike other portable forms like books or records, the objects themselves have no aesthetic value. If disposable, non-plastic art can't have that, I much prefer it to have no physical form whatsoever and exist purely digitally.Quote:

Oh if I didn't have my magical box, I'd still prefer the likes of Netflix or legal downloading to the business of buying DVDs. Don't you find them annoying? Does having a physical copy of a film you watched two years ago, didn't much like and will almost certainly never watch again hanging around in a grimly utilitarian little jewel case cluttering up your house never irritate you?Quote:
