a UI that doesn't suck would have been enough for me. on the other hand - compared to the time, you're passively watching tv, interacting with the UI is negligible - i can tolerate the slow, cubersome UI of my sony-tv as long as picture-quality is o.k. and i won't have to pay a premium price i'd likely have to pay for an apple TV-Set.
it's exactly that - the movie looks like they shot as much action as possible and worried about story when editing. still, it is visually stunning and had great practical effects - this is a "leave your brain at the counter" movie that doesn't disappoint and doesn't insult your intelligence by trying and failing to present a "story". also, it's more or less made for adults - hardly any nudeness, but at least some gore. so, no winter soldier, pacific rim or guardians of the galaxy - just simple, stupid action for a male audience over ten.
i don't know... in ~2004 you knew, if someone had a hotmail account, he/she was pretty much tech-illiterate. and you couldn't send them any attachments, because hotmail attachments were limited to.5 megabytes (a ridiculously low limit, even at the time). at least those days are gone.
if you were a real dinosaur, your e-mail address was more likely to read something like 12493921@compuserve.com
i usually skip #10 - but instead of spilling tea on the screen my #15 is: forget to extract tea bag.
16. remember to extract tea bag after 10-15 minutes
17. get a taste of tea that has definitely gotten too strong
18. goto 1
it's not a contradiction, because those actors can also be marketed for commercials, convention/tv appearances, speeches, computer games, voice acting.... even if they don't get any more significant movie roles ever, they can still make a living (and thus have enhanced their marketability) with their star wars fame.
would probably help more. exactly how many plane hijackings have been prevented by locked doors in the last 14 years ? that's the problem with security theatre - there's no stepping back until it takes a violent end (e.g. totalitarian society).
either get the microphone closer to the person speaking (e.g. handing a microphone around) to tune out most of the room, or make the room sound better (curtains, reflection cancelling wall panels,...).
that would require some attention to detail, which samsung definitely lacks. it will get harder and harder for them to sell phones based on features that have long ago crossed the border of usefullness. 577 ppi - are you selling those phones to eagles? 16mp - i'd rather have 10mp with bigger pixels - plus those photos don't use that much space. 2.1 ghz quad + 1.5 ghz quad, 3gb ram? just give me software that runs on an 1.2 ghz dualcore, that should be more than enough. saves battery too.
i don't get it why they drop differenciating features like water resistance, sd-card slot or removable battery instead of making them better. that were the features that made samsung-phones stand out. i can understand samsung wanting to go for the premium market. but they need more than an iphone with android and purportetly better features (in the end, it's still the software, stupid) for a piece of the iphone's cake
or was reversed by the guardian article - 23 out of the 26 first google-image searches now show me that hillarious/offending picture.
in the case of adria richards - i think it's quite ironic that her getting hank fired monumentally backfired. they both lost a lot because of her overreacting, but she clearly got it worse. which seems quite fair to me.
that gets me unlimited 20/5 mb/s LTE where i live. it's less than half of that (9â) for 9GB at 4/2 mbits (with unlimited 64 kbit/s after those 9gb). don't you have (the service provider) Three in the UK?
"We probably need to start rethinking our emphasis on intelligence," says Arthur E. Poropat citing research that shows that both conscientiousness and openness are more highly correlated with student performance than intelligence. "
Or maybe we need to start rethinking why intelligence is less correlated with student performance than conscientiousness. In school i've seen a lot of stubborn idiots, who were successfull because they got on the teachers nerves until the teacher gave them good grades. or people who were just conformists and got good grades because they were more or less invisible.
it depends on what the goals are - if you want a society of conformists, dominated by loud idiots, that's the way to go.
but kaizendojo gave X&Y vs M through Z as an example. sure, unbundling the channels would increase the prize of individual channels. but the question is: would this be the end of channel bundles? wouldn't you not either buy the 15 out of 100 channels that really interest you or buy a 100 channel bundle if you thought you might be interested in another 20 channels as well (which would increase the price of the individual channels above the 100-channel bundle price) ?
yes, nk, iran and saudi arabia have rotten, oppressive regimes. but responsible for the turmoil in the world? look around, where the turmoil is happening right now... ukraine, mexico, israel & co., lybia, iraq, syria, south-sudan,... ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik... )
part 1 was pretty bad and part 2 even worse.
i feel pretty ashamed for having paid money for those two - and having encouraged bad, soulless, moneygrabbing filmmaking by that. sorry.
it's probably also because here in europe, electicity networks are often state owned (or at least have been installed by the state prior to some privatization-waves over the last 20 years). the last time i can remember a short power outage here in rural austria must have been in the 90ies. there have been some major outages in some other areas, but they are few and far between (and usually mended within minutes to a few hours).

well, resort to an archaic tradition like marriage, get treated like you live in the past. easy as that.

a small usb-stick - because they got the least amount of plastic that could warp. put them in a vacuum flask, so they are nicely insulated.
with the only slight fault that psychohistory has become a real thing. too subtle.

and that's only their tvs. i've heard their phones can steal your identity and make your wife pregnant

austria - 75Mb down/ 7.5 up for 25,90 euros. could be worse...

apparently nothing, or did anything bad happen to you? as violent crimes have about halved since then, it should be okay to do this more than ever.
