I have been on private jet flights and the in flight food was fantastic. No "hot air ovens to re heat" they used a microwave and a toaster oven. the steak done in the toaster oven was actually very good. They had them in aluminum foil pouches that they open the top on.
this sounds like airline executives trying to CYA as to why the food sucks.

Never owned a Xbox360 have you. The graphics chip falling OFF the board because of a massive defect in cooling design is not my definition of "quality product"
Sorry but you perceive sharpness. put up a real resolution chart and try again. Because this is what I have done as well as others and their findings fit mine.
42" TV at 12 feet is SDTV to your eyes no matter what the signal.
"Geochemists looked at titanium isotopes in 24 separate samples of lunar rock and soil, and found that the moon's proportion was effectively the same as Earth's and different from elsewhere in the solar system"
and
" This contradicts the so-called Giant Impact Hypothesis, which posits that Earth collided with a hypothetical, Mars-sized planet called Theia early in its existence, and the resulting smash-up produced a disc of magma orbiting our planet that later coalesced to form the moon."
SO discovering that the Moon's and Earths isotopes match means it could NOT have formed from a splash of magma from the earth?
This whole thing contradicts it's self. How do they know that the other body was not a twin of the earth and formed from the same disc of dust and debris? do they have samples of this other planet?
You can tell even more of a difference if you were to sit closer. you are sitting outside the window that physics dictates, but then you might be a superhero that has laser vision.
99% of people CANT tell the difference between a clean SD signal and a 1080p signal on a 42" beyond 12 feet. And I am betting that you would have trouble if someone were to show you a very clean superBit DVD and the bluray of the same content.
You lay your seat all the way down, so you can almost see the road through the steering wheel and dashboard. then you lean in towards the center of the car.
Nod your head a lot and stare at people that dare to look at you.
you are even safer if you cant see any roadway at all, lean that seat even farther back.
SDLT tape drive and some tapes. If your "personal data" is not worth the $800.00 to buy a good used SDLT drive and a few tapes, then it's not worth backing up.
Just do not dink around with theoretical "backup solutions" that are not proven. and no, hard drives are not "proven" for reliable and long term backup. I have DLT tapes from 16 years ago that I know for a fact I can still read.
If your data is important, You dont screw around with consumer hard drives that are known to have a low MTBF.
Except that nobody is buying android tablets because of their price point.
The $599.00 android tablets are $200.00 overpriced. You CAN NOT charge apple prices for non apple product unless it is 200% better than the apple product.
That is like Kia selling the new Optima for $86,500 and hoping you dont notice it's not a BMW.
Refurb? you can get like new ones used for $250.00 The one I bought nobody on this planet could tell it was used, and it came with a smart cover as well.
Get over your "used is icky" feelings and buy used for even cheaper.
I bought a ipad 2 just a few days ago. Nothing on the ipad 3 could justify the higher price point to me. Plus I was able to get a like new one used from a guy on craigs list trying to raise money for the new ipad. $250.00 for a 32 gig not 3g was a fair price, and a lot cheaper than a ipad3 that has marginal improvements.
"but thats a non-issue for most mac fans so ill leave it be."
It's proven to be a non issue to everyone. I know fo iphone 2's that are still in service with the origional battery. I have a 3G here that I am prepping for sale that STILL has full battery life after 3.5 years.
I can understand coming from crap phones like Nokia and Motorola that have batteries that need to be replaced yearly (I went through 3 batteries on my Razr, and 2 Batteries on my Nokia E62.)
But honestly, battery tech on the apple devices and some of the android phones are a lot better than the garbage batteries we all were used to from the past.
Replaceable battery is a non issue on ANY phone unless the phone was made to crap standards with junk battery packs.
They used the exact same super easy to break digitizer glass.
They really need to go back to the 2X thicker ipad 1 glass. The ipad 2 is incredibly delicate due to the much thinner glass. In fact you can feel it flex while using the ipad 2.
Not really, My will states that I am to be taken to a taxidermist and stuffed and left on a park bench somewhere as a prank. From three I'm guessing it's cremation or a landfill.
Not in any city area, always way out beyond zoning and typically they are grandfathered. I.E. built before we started electing Low IQ morons to government positions.

I did RTFA. Maybe you should before acting like and asshole.

Having a blog makes you an "expert" now.
Glad to know the bar is lowered a lot for expert status.
My ipad has a SD card slot and USB port. It's even got hdmi, DVi and VGA ports. I keep those in my laptop bag when I'm not using them.

I didn't know conglomerates were law enforcement agencies? Why would they stop harassing and assulting citizens unless forced to?
I'll buy your argument as soon as "conglomerates" stop getting special legal task forces and swat teams to enforce their copyright schemes.
GURPS is still alive and well, it's used to bring back to life a lot of dead games like Morrow Project.
Car Wars and Ogre.
Come on man, stop hording your games!
You have a fine here for having breakable glass windows. This encourages crime.
All of them named Linksys, Dlink, Wireless, etc... and all to a single router that is connected to nothing at all.
It significantly reduces the volume of idiot neighbors that do not configure their new wireless as many times they will connect to me instead.
Works great, when I shut it off, I see no more default router names.
It also screws with the wardrivers, I look at some of the maps every few months and see my location with a giant pile of AP names around my building.
Because my Verizon iPhone has NO data on their 3G network anywhere near down town.

The KDE skin they are using?
That is the coolest KDE setup I have ever seen. Most of them look like crap, and that one looks great!

Too bad you are narrow minded. I would pay $2,000,000 to live in a hole in the ground.
