I have an open Sennheisers that sound great, but by design others in the room can hear the music. Now if the Beats' phones are supposed to be closed and this happens, that's bad. Never heard of Beats and have no desire to try listening to a pair.
Every adult in Switzerland has an assault rifle, but (almost) none of them have any bullets to go with it. You see, the assault riffle is issued when you finish the military training, and you're supposed to maintain it until the day when the country gets invaded and the government distributes the rounds through the populace.
Even if you maintain the rifle diligently, wouldn't you want to occasionally test it to make sure it still fires?
To me that's akin to doing backups but never actually checking to see if there's an actual working copy of the backup.
...in frequencies humans can hear. I remember reading two years ago that plants do emit a very high frequency sound when they are cut. There are studies that support it. Heck, I probably read this on slashdot.
Considering the Nexus 10 has an 'extremely repairable' rating that requires the removal of five Philips screws, I'd say it's far easier than the iPad that requires special tools?
You must be young. I still remember back when Gates was talking about making ACPI a black box (unfortunately it still is, I can see) so that no other vendors but Microsoft could use the power interface. Some companies (like Intel) are pretty good about these types of specifications. I still have an Intel desktop/workstation board on my main computer at home and it has no problems sleeping and waking up.
I have had, unfortunately, problems with some other manufacturers doing the same thing - like Asus. (By the way, this isn't strictly linux, I couldn't get Windows 7 to suspend/resume on certain model Asus boards.)
It most definitely has something to do with hardware vendors. If the auto manufacturers had it their way no DIY'ers would even be allowed to work on cars. Computers are no different.
Did you even look at the article? That keyboard looks like a blackberry keyboard to me. It's a blatant ripoff of the design. While I think software patents are absurd, this is a copy of a physical device.
Have you actually used portage lately? There's so many circular dependencies that it usually breaks and it can't work them out; it's up to the user to sort it out. You used to update world, then rebuild dependencies - now portage tries to do that beforehand (which takes forever) and in most cases barfs because it can't figure it out.
But if the Monitor monitors the Monitor, does the other Monitor monitoring the Monitor monitoring the first Monitor also monitor the first Monitor? Ugh. This could go on forever.
Most are missing the point that most people still using XP on old machines are on a very limited income. Windows 7 costs money. Office costs money. This is money that these people do not have.
I converted my friend's parent's old XP PC to linux. They don't notice a difference and I haven't had any calls since the conversion. They are retired and almost no income for this sort of thing.
Linux is free, at least. Another thing is most of the target audience is using XP for browsing the web and email. Linux works just fine for that.
Remember: not having money is a huge barrier for a lot of people. Those that have money will likely have upgraded already.

It kind of boggles my mind that after spending how many thousands on geek stuff/tech toys he balks at another 150 to try to protect them...
And this is why any one business should not own infrastructure, it should be publically owned and maintained.
...and the latency is 88 ms.
Yep. Don't forget, the cloud is the solution for everything.

MS Access.
It means to have something that's not controlled by the media cartels. But, in the case of youtube, the media cartels control it anyway.
There's no way the media cartels would ever release a platform that everybody can upload video to. They want full control.
What about "There's a dumbass that's going to run a red light, slam on the BRAKES! NOW!"
That's more analogous to Apple's "You're using it wrong."
Well, at the other extreme, if linux used Firefox's numbering scheme, we'd be at about 143360.14.

At least you wouldn't get a ticket for using your phone in the car... so you probably come out ahead!
Whoops, wrong article. But it still applies! Sort of...
Gentoo users probably get more entertainment watching the game compile rather than actually playing the game. Go figure.

Going out on a limb here, but I think you probably had barbecue...
Speed traps, OK. Enabling drunk driving by posting traps? I'm not so sure I agree with that one.
I guess Dice is throwing stuff at the site and is waiting to see what sticks?
