The difference with Apple Pay is that they can't use a stolen phone
Really? Are you saying that the phone needs to be unlocked before it can be used to make a payment? Sounds incredibly inconvenient.
You have to use the TouchID sensor with your fingerprint. I don't see how that can be considered inconvenient, it takes under a second and requires basically no additional thought or movement.
There was no technical reason why the iPad couldn't have just zoomed iPhone apps to near-fullscreen automatically. The reason it doesn't is that Apple wanted to encourage people to think about how to use the extra resolution rather than just expand the screen. The result is that you get a lot of iPad apps that take advantage of the extra room on a tablet vs. a phone, compared to many Android "tablet" apps that are just blown up versions of the phone interface.
I'm sorry, I must have missed the DNC budget passed in the Senate that included NOAA funding increases. Whats that? The truth is no budget has even been proposed by the Senate controled by the DNC in the last 5 years? None of Obama's proposed budgets have received a SINGLE vote from the DNC or the GOP? As I recall the GOP controlled House is the ONLY part of government that has proposed and passed a budget, but none of them have been brought up for a vote in the Senate. Perhaps you could enlighten us on how the GOP defunds NOAA when they haven't actually done anything.
And that couldn't possibly be because the GOP has systematically filibustered any piece of legislation from the democrats in the senate that they have the slightest issue with, basically making it impossible for anything to come up for a vote.
The iPod Touch isn't an MP3 player, it's a non-cellular iPhone equivalent for using iPhone apps on that also happens to play mp3s. If you JUST wanted an mp3 player, you'd get an iPod Nano.
Your figures are still way off. 180,000 cubic feet / 5,097 cubic meters is the spec for how much helium they're using, the 850,000 cubic meters is the volume at full altitude and minimal atmospheric pressure.

iPad Review

· Score: 1
The iPad will happily associate with your existing iTunes account and use all the same content.
As for the speaker, it's a stereo speaker, but both sides are in the same place (so you don't lose any sound to mono conversion, but you're not getting the "stereo" experience either). Of course you can always plug in external stereo speakers or headphones as usual.
In my first reply to this I missed some of what you wrote:
- The cost of the program guides information
- The cost of the TiVo backend infrastructure to support the remote updates of appliance (software and program guide information)
- The cost of them integrating all the above pieces into one "appliance"
This is the part I don't want to pay for, because as far as I am concerned it adds no value.
As far as MythTV goes, I am unaware of any store I can walk into, buy one, take it home, connect it to my TV and I'm ready to go. I could do all of that with a VCR.
Then you're missing the major draw of what the TiVo can do. The draw of the TiVo isn't that it's a fancy VCR that you don't have to put tapes in, it is that you tell the TiVo what kind of programming you like and it GOES OUT AND FINDS IT FOR YOU. That means that it'll chase down your favorite program when the network decides to go hide it in another time slot. It'll look at the programming you like and find similar programs to record in the free space you've got left over (if you don't disable the feature). All these things require a constant source of program data, something that doesn't come free.
They could be even lighter if they only had the on-board storage to hold the maps you need, as opposed to topographical maps of the entire western US, as well as road data and a bunch of other 'white pages' type junk.
When a microSD card can hold all the map data you could possibly need, I really doubt that weight considerations are a reason to strip down the size of a mapping dataset anymore.
Or you could just submit the form without your credit card info the first time to see where it goes (assuming of course that the form doesn't have javascript code to prevent that).
It appears that they get a lot of the biggest budget items donated. Any large vehicle that's been destroyed/damaged has been donated by some fan or another. I'm also sure that there is a sliding scale of budget for "cooler" (read blowing things up) myths.
I disagree with Linus on this one. While the kernel might be worked on and might improve by leaps and bounds, MANY of the programs available through open source is fucking terrible and certainly nothing more than a free knockoff of a Windows/etc counterpart (hell wasn't that the entire point of Linux in the first place)?
No, the entire point of Linux in the first place was to be a free Minix/UNIX clone for Linus to play with. It's just that lots of other people became interested too.
If you're a user installing openoffice and you don't have a certain library, or you have an outdated one, you're going to spend a lot of time learning about ldd and ldconfig.
And why would a "user" be installing OpenOffice in a corporate environment? That is what desktop support is there for. Besides, most modern distributions have enough smarts somewhere to install the correct libraries when you install a package.
Interfacing a digital cable box to the Tivo is just like interfacing any other cable box. Your "digital" cable is only digital for the extra "digital" and movie channels anyway, everything else is analog. So you hook your one cable box up to the TiVo with S-Video cables and live with not being able to watch a few stations on your other TV (oh, big loss).
The Time Warner box isn't a Tivo, just a DVR. By all accounts, the Tivo has a much better interface to control what you record, especially if you watch shows that are repeated multiple times per day/week. I'm more likely to buy a second Tivo than to order the TW DVR.
Although I'll agree with djb's annoying licensing issues, why do you need a recursive cache and an authoritive server on the same IP? It is simple to set them up on seperate IPs (even on the same machine) and well documented.
Strange, my wife was happy with the $300 gold ring with sapphires (which she helped pick out). In fact she was happy with the matching silver claddagh rings we got but it didn't match well with the wedding ring.
Not "odds" as in odd numbers, but "odds" as in the add-on bet to pass/come bets you can make after the point which pay exactly the odds of the point being made, instead of the slightly deflated payment that every other bet on the table carries.

I think the ship has mostly sailed on phones with larger batteries. Buy a battery case or just an external battery pack.

Going hungry a lot, or getting fed by summer programs set up by various charities to feed kids like this in neighborhoods where it's prevalent.
So IOW, don't give your money to the ALS foundation, since only around a quarter of it at best will go there.
Demonstrably false with about 5 seconds of Google searching.

You mean you can actually still buy that at Radio Shack?

A yes, so you can pay the bank 21%+ for the privledge of it loaning you back YOUR OWN MONEY.

Of course it's even more amusing when you consider that someone actually implemented it.
Or did anyone else parse the article title as Privacy Deterrence?
