I now see that it's the app that is 500MB, not the issues.
Though the summary says that the inclusion of images is what makes it a 500MB download. I assume you get the app once and then each issue through the app? If that's the case does anybody know how big an issue is?
Yes, I expect that a 500MB PDF would download really quickly.
Also the way that it is packaged as an image per page rather than as text means that I can't select, copy or search the text...which is really convenient. Being able to fit only 32 issues on a 16GB iPad (assuming you have nothing else on there) is also very convenient.
Oh, and natural oil eruptions have been happening naturally all along.
Sharks happen naturally and they kill people (occasionally). Volcanoes also happen naturally. Meteors occur naturally and wiped out the dinosaurs. What is your point?
Did you miss the bit in the summary about the oil on the surface making up only 20% of the whole? And the bit about the natural gas not floating but instead depleting the ocean of oxygen?
Maybe I misunderstand you and you've misunderstood the GP. He's talking about species that are local to the Mexican gulf area becoming extinct, not global extinction of all fish.
On what basis are you denying his proposition? I see no science in your post either.
Of course, I'm wondering what the standard for demonstrating active development would be?
That was my first thought. I'm wondering....constantly checking all patents would be impossible. Instead they (whoever they may be) only need to check if someone else wants to use the patent. Maybe charge a small fee for this.

Which HTC did you use?
I don't own an iPhone or an HTC but the ones I've used both (iPhone 3G and HTC Hero and Desire) seem pretty good.
What's that got to do with Windows mobile anyway?

And the guy sitting beside you on the plane will have every book ever published
Or (assuming a 16GB iPad) a whole 32 copies of Wired!
OK, so you can get 64GB iPads, so 128 issues.
Sure it's more than you can fit in a briefcase but it's not exactly a huge amount.

Makes sense. He's using an example that the audience can relate to.
I felt a great reduction in the Bullshit, as if millions of voices crying out errors were suddenly silenced.
Not as long as you would.
This comment wasn't particularly great but the ones before it were some of the best comments I've read about the issue.
They play Sheep.
They're not known for their imagination.
The blue pill, right?
Here you are
apparently your a moron
His a moron what?
Yeah, I'm on Virgin "20Mbps" at the moment. Apparently.
how the hell can they start bundling more shit without fucking over more of their customer base?
Who said they weren't going to do that?
Yeah. My spelling is perfect but I still get my grammer wrong sometimes.
Bad from replying to myself, I know, but...

Oil floats.

All the knowledge in the world doesn't do a lot of good in the hands of a small group of isolated people with 18th century tech on their hands.
It's a lot better than sitting around with 18th century knowledge and 18th century tools...
Ever seen/read Fight Club? There should be plenty of raw material around come the apocalypse...
I'm a Briton from Britain. I'm not sure what a Brittan is unless it's a fanatical watcher of this.
In any case we'll need an expert in stacking as well. I suggest a Swede. After all, they did invent Ikea.
Haha! It's funny cause it's
Four o'clock already?
*glances at pocket watch*
Sorry old chap but it would appear your clock is wrong.

Removing it would really, really, really piss me off.
Probably more than removing the "properties" dialog did. Grrr.
try chrome for just one day, it is awesome
I did. It's ok.
I prefer firefox.
