It's not really a good comparison at all, popularity aside.
Almost everyone knows what an imac is, and there will be a lot of people that say it sucks simply because they do not like it. Some will say that because they think they're ugly, others might say it because they simply don't like Apple.
On the other hand, almost no one knows what an actiontec router is, even if they have one. For most, its simply a box that sits in the corner helping them get their TV. People wouldn't post hate comments about it unless it actually failed, and they had to actually look at it see what it is.
So whereas almost 100% of the actiontec comments would be based on actual happenings, I'd say a very small percentage of imacs comments are justified in the same failure-based manner.
It's pretty close. The technology involved doesn't matter. All they have to do is have the receiver input signals directly into the nerves that carry signals from the ears to the brain. Just get rid of the speakers.
This type of technology already exists for eyes, why not for ears. Miniaturise the whole apparatus and for all intents and purposes it would look exactly like telepathy.
...modern day religions, since all are groups of adults believing in fictional stories and allowing them to control their lives This is different from ancient religions, how?
Stupid things getting confiscated happens a lot.
I've accidentally brought scissors onto a plane while my girlfriend had make-up and beauty cream stolen from her. (It wasn't in the mandatory plastic bag (don't see how a plastic bag makes make-up less dangerous though)).
By focussing on too many things, security actually drops because it allows more error for more dangerous things to get on. They wasted so much time arguing with my girlfriend they didn't actually catch what was in my jacket as it went through the scanner.
I wouldn't say that at all. The United States puts more money into nanotechnology investment in the world. Per capita, the leader is Taiwan. This was at least true in 2004, where the federal government invested $1.6 billion, and the private sector about $1.7 billion, more than half of world wide private investment in nano-tech.
I'm guessing now: but, I'd say that the funding from both sectors has probably increased significantly since then.
AFAIK the browser will (or should) check the cert on the HTTPS before submitting the data. Also, if it is being submitted without encryption, the browser should warn you about that too.
If scripting is disabled then the form is submitted to the "action" attribute within the "form" element. Which also points to an https page. So it is secure with or without scripting.
Yes, computers are tools, and should be treated as such.
Would you let your five year old kid play with your chainsaw?
Should someone without a license be able to drive a car down the freeway?
One has to learn how to use other tools safely, why not computers?
Actually, American Express Canada does log you in securely. When you click that login button, it executes a script, which then submits the form to an https address.
Next time, instead of saying a word isn't real "to your knowledge", why don't you check the word in a dictionary. It's a word. It's an adjective. The word has existed in real life for hundreds of years.
Who modded that post insightful anyway?? Check a dictionary. Fool.
You really think your knowledge includes the more than one million words in the English language? What kind of fool would presume to think they know whether or not a word is real? Arrgh. Me angry.

How is this a troll? It's not even trying to offend anyone. Actually it was slightly funny.
But can it run Crysis?

Just delete the blatant advertising.

Thank you. You just made my day.
