Thank $DEITY! Sons of Guns broke my brain when I caught some of the samurai machete episode. Fake "reality" shows with midgets towing cars is one thing. But that, the only thing that shares whatever that category should be called is Gold Diggers, which I *had* thought to be the worst of the new "reality" shows on Discovery.
MythBusters, Deadliest Catch, Dirty Jobs, those I don't have a problem with, and usually enjoy vegging out to.
Unless you're one of those crazy people who don't want (or need) their portable music device encumbered with a phone and all its battery draining glory. I can go for a week or three between charges on my Touch, let's see a smartphone do that.
The Touch is one of the best PDAs on the market right now. A niche which smartphones have pretty much slaughtered. I don't want or need a contract or fee to use a PDA.
"2) You can attach a keyboard, preferably one that folds or rolls up. I can't see having to answer emails trying to type on that screen. My ColorNook has one of those on-screen keyboards and its the one thing I hate about it."
What's wrong with BT keyboards that don't need to be physically connected? Is there some magic property of being physically connected I'm not aware of?
"TFA specifically talks about improving the infrastructure, including "seamlessly linking road, rail, air and water transport modes."" <Krabappel>HA!</Krabappel>
We here in the states can't even maintain what we've got, assuming "seamlessly linking road, rail, air and water transport modes" is like assuming cold fusion.
I don't use paper mulch in the garden, the pets don't like newspaper as litter as it has poor absorbency (let alone the mess the ink causes) and being responsible no crotchfruit that require diversions. So not fixed, still a hassle.
People who don't have a functional off-hand? [Sorry, the queue for the jokes starts back there.]/. always amazes me on how it out Luddites the Luddites.
The food issue isn't one of production but of (lack of) governments.
A lot of those starving people in Africa are living in what used to be THE (not just the, THE) breadbasket of the continent. Why are they starving in what should be the most productive areas of Africa? Because they'll get killed trying to farm the land or they were killed and some group that has no idea how to farm has been given their land.
Packing people into densities far beyond the capacity to support them is *sooooo* green.
Cities are like cancers. You can pack a lot of cells into a cancer but at a high cost to the host from the high resource requirements to the increased waste generated in such a small area.
Not everyone wants to live like sardines in a can (even if it is a pretty can).
Now that hybrids and electrics are really on the road we can't use the assumption that cars pay for road maintenance with fuel taxes. How the Miles tax will get passed down to the right localities is an issue though.
Unless someone made his bits unavailable then his version is still available, so his contribution is still available right alongside the proprietary entangled version.
Yeah, who needs good reaction times whilst using a multi-ton murder machine? Being able to stand moderately upright with only occasional support should be good enough.
How did they take your "free software"? Isn't that still available? People here like to point out that you can't steal bits, so the bits of your "free software" must still be in your possession.

Or the RIAA gave them DRM free to provide some leverage against the iTMS monster the RIAA had created and were losing control of.
And they say Steve Jobs has a reality distortion field...
And make baby Invisible Hand cry by refusing to exploit a market? You're a horrible person.

"I have one on my porch that's coming up on 12 years old."
There's an incandescent bulb that's been continuously lit for around a hundred years. See, CFLs are inferior by anecdote.
You'll just have to set your cyberbrain to autistic mode.

"SO for less than the postage you get the delightful dead tree version too."
Don't forget that for less than the postage you also get the hassle of disposing of it.

Fix the governments and you fix the food problem.
So you can't call yourself an english major if you can't read Sumerian cuneiform?
Bus? What bus? I think there's a stop in the next town over. A stop. Not stops.

Somebody wants in on that lucrative tire-running...
For once, I agree with commodore64_love.

"Sooner or later someone will develop a truly Free version that does the job."
And next year will be the year of linux on the desktop.

They've got tiger blood. They're different.

I would say "true" geeks want convoluted and esoteric over effective.

How?
The BSD code is still out there. The proprietary commercial code that used the BSD code is not the BSD code.
