Buy a dedicated GPS, its a FAR better overall solution and they are dirt cheap. My phone is already doing comms and music in the car, too many functions for one device.
DO you folks not understand we have the largest and most advanced cellular system for OUR SIZE? We have a HUGE landmass to cover, and vastly varying population density.
According to your opening statement, in Philosophy, God is simply a logical placeholder for "We dont know". I wouldnt call that proven, but rather an accepted model to base other thoughts on. In a closed system (the universe), decay is merely redistribution of energy, not loss. The rest of the logic diahrrhea in your post i wont respond to.
Science isnt about being right or wrong, its about looking for the answer, whatever it may be. Schroedinger posed a fantastic, perspective-altering question, and you dismiss it as 'pseudo-science'
Wait, you went too far. For it to be a crime, you should have to prove that he INTENTIONALLY intended to cause children harm by purposefully showing them images. If you cannot prove that he intentionally was attempting to direct children to his screen, then you would not have a logical case. Just viewing porn in the presence of minors in and of itself should not be a crime unless you are intentionally providing the material to them. (i.e. I shouldnt be have to put away my porn solely because a child walks into my proximity.)
In our Republic, the law is supposed to apply to evryone, including insensitive, self-absorbed weirdos. I would rather the librarians err on the side of caution in matters like this and not censor. And it must be reiterated again, you have no expectation to be free from distraction in public. Watching humans copulate is seriously not as bad as most would make it seem to be.
Im pretty sure anyone with a brain figured this was the general direction they were gonna go when Win 8 was announced. MS wants to unify mobile, living room and desktop. The Xbox 720 will probably be the Win 8 kernel too.
WHat I really love about this whole situation is the ability for people to reduce this case to "wahhhh rounded corners" and dismiss Samsung's malfeasance here. If that was the ONLY thing wrong with Samsung's design, I might join you guys. The plain fact is when you look at Samsung's tab, it is STRIKINGLY and obviously similar in a way beyond pure functional need. They copied the design whole cloth and I dont feel sorry for them getting smacked around for it. Ive said this in other threads, Samsung is trying to sell Pepsi in a Coke shaped bottle. This is why they got banned.
You are being purposefully obtuse if you dont see Samsung doing wrong here. Samsung deliberately tried to confuse the marketplace with strikingly similar items. There is simply no other logical conclusion. I would call out any other company for doing the same. Samsung tried putting Pepsi in a Coke shaped bottle(probably the most recognizable design patent in the world).
You do realize that design patents are WIDELY held by many many companies. DO you honestly think it would be ok for Pepsi to start shipping their product in a 2-liter shaped exactly like the distinctive Coke stylized 2 liter bottle? Design patents do have their place and Samsung CLEARLY tried to create confusion with its design.
The 'abolish them' sentiment comes from the fact that it is the copyright holders that have successfully extended copyright far beyond the original intent and broken the social bargain. Alot of people feel this position has been abused to the point whee the only truly viable alternative is to abolish the system entirely. People will still create art and music and videos, whether copyright exists or not. Copyright is a nicety that we extend to help promote art creation, it is not the sole spur of art or is it even a basis of it. Copyright is not REQUIRED for people to make art, merely an incentive. The incentive has become worse then the problem it attempts to solve.
120 Hz monitors, for starters. Also, the extra frames lend smoothness to the rendered video, well above 60 Hz. In the past, the more FPS you had, the faster you would move through the game space (Quake 3). Add in 3D effects and triple monitors and you start to see why you would want a card that can do above 60 Hz
When you actually do work, its hard to ignore using the best available tool for the job, regardless of the politics involved. I dont have time nor energy to take an ideological stand on everything. At some point we all have real work to get done and quite honestly a truly useable smartphone and tablet GREATLY enhance my work performance. Im going to pick and use the best one that fits my workflow and needs, I dont have the luxury of taking sides. Taking a stand is great, but I have bigger fish to fry then voting insignificantly with my wallet.
Because no time has passed and nothing has changed between now and 200 yeas ago. Yep, you are right the situation is exactly the same as the time of pre-revolutionary war. Thank you for pointing out the huge flaws in my logic. How dare i attempt to evaluate the CURRENT situation when my evil immigrant anscetors slaughtered innocent indians.
Unskilled dregs actually comes from our H1B requirements for visas. YOu dont get an H1B without having a skill we need. (technically anyways). I do not see the point of allowing unskilled people into our borders. Why would we do that? For what purpose?
Xenophobia is a survival trait, it takes sentience to control it. Some are better then others at it. Its not wrong to dislike another race, it is wrong to deny that they are human and equal.

The 1st is toothless? Larry Flynt and the Westboro church would tend to disagree.
Its not as much nonsense as you make it out to be. Look at the statistics for low income families and their ability to get proper identification.
Nice job of removing the other part of the equation, which is the HUGE LANDMASS we have.

I actually find the Sun gods the least silly. It makes sense people worship the sun, I get it.

If you were a professional sending me to Megaupload, I would never do business with you again.

Airplanes are not cars, your comparison is completely pointless.
