Only until the day comes that Apple Mac sales meet at least half or more of the total Windows PC sales (of all brands selling PCs loaded with Windows), will that constitute any kind of sales record that matters worth beans.
"Only until the day comes that Honda sales meet at least half or more of the total automobile sales, will that constitute any kind of sales record that matters worth beans."
Yeah... that makes about as much sense as what you said.

Best Non-Subscription DVR?
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Not as cheap as a DVR, but no subscription. Of course, this misses one huge hidden cost.... electricity.
Most embedded boxes (Cable set-top DVRs, Tivo, etc) are built using specialized components and consume much less power than a home-built MythTV unit.
I've done a few tests with various units (Comcast DVR, Tivo, Myth box) and found there is about a 150W difference between home-brew and embedded..150kW * 24 hr * 365 days * $.15 kWh / 12 mo = $16.425 / mo
So the electricity for that that "free" MythTV box actually costs $16.43 more per month than a embedded device.
Yes, you can do a lot more with a MythTV box, but don't try and kid yourself that it doesn't cost as much as other solutions.
they covered it up and then had pr character assassinate him to spread doubt about his findings I didn't realize Apple was in the business of hacking into security researchers' computers and planting faked demonstration videos.
In other words, you don't need to assassinate something that committed suicide.
Since that I have revised the answer to add ultrasound technician, seeing the process on my second child with the new 3D ultrasound equipment and realizing exactly how surprised my reaction was I know that would be a cool line of work.
I couldn't do it as for every 99 perfectly healthy babies, there is going to be that one that has problems and you have to be the one to tell the parent(s).
Look, all I am saying is, that slogan is absurdly narrow-minded.
Sorta like your view that mining isn't critical to a societal well-being...
If you want to go live in a grass hut somewhere, more power to you.
I prefer to live in a house that is built upon a mined product, held together with a mined product, with interior walls thanks to a mined product, using electricity carried by a mined product, drink fresh water via a mined product, transport sewage away in a mined product, drive a car that has a frame from a mined product, on roads composed entirely of mined product.
WHAT? CAN YOU SPEAK UP? I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER ALL THE HUMMING!!
I recently tried CF bulbs and went out of my way to buy what are considered the best for lighting delay and "dimmability".
In short, they SUCK.
First, they hum when dimmed (and these are supposedly designed for such). Second, they take a second to turn on. Third, they take about 30 seconds to "warm up" to the selected brightness.
Fix those issues and you'll get me to convert, but not before.

jnewmano just got owned.
As a matter of fact, yes.

I envision it starting like this:
...and I'm a PC
Jobs: I'm a Mac
Gates:
That allows a user to place their finger below the item they wish to choose so that they can see the item, rather than hiding it with their finger
Just like when I use a telephone, I hit the buttons next to the number I am looking to dial and when I park my car, I park next to the spot I want.

What OSS has it released?
I don't know you from Eddie, but I'd be willing to bet that the answer is somewhere north of a metric fuckload more than you've released.
It's heresy, I know, but perhaps Google is beginning to deserve a borg icon?
Given the attitude of the general public to Google, I think it would be apt to make it the Emperor from Star Wars:
"This is how [the internet] dies. With thunderous applause..."
You do realize that touching pictures of a "Big Mac" and "Large Drink" is NOT considered "coding", right?
These money hungry companies needs to be put down for good!
Hear, hear!
It's good to see that someone is finally stepping up and giving the Old Yeller treatment to Google.

But, hey, that's just me...
Are you kidding me?
The source for EVERYTHING you use on a daily basis can be summed up like this:
If it can't be grown, it has to be mined.
A big mirror makes a big beam.

Frankly, I can't hear a damn bit of difference between a burnt & re-riped track and it's original
Me and 99.99% of the world's population agree with you.
The rest are those that claim that a $100 HDMI cable produces richer colors and fuller sound than a $6 HDMI cable.
I'm a little disappointed.
They have many references to a movie where the lead character was "Jack Sparrow", I was expecting the lead in this version to be "Jane Swallows".

Yeah, because the RIAA has a long history of using the courts to go after music downloaders.
