The first thing I think about when dealing with a new highly portable device is how many wires I can plug into it. The portability is directly proportional to the number of wires hanging out of it. Or was that indirectly proportional?
I like the fact that the/. Consensus pans any well designed, customer oriented, easy to use device.
I based a law around it: the more/. hates something the better it is. It's been very useful. As well as the corollary: the more/. likes something the worse it is.
I call it the McCartney Equation. Take the cost of the relationship and divide by the number of days in that relationship. That is how much you could have spent on hookers per day and still broke even. (I think it worked out so that Sir Paul could have spent $5000 a day on hookers.)
If you went with a hooker every other day you could halve your expenses or get a higher quality hooker.
With our perfect precognition abilities we should have seen what their actions would have been before we voted for them but something was clouding our senses, hmm, I bet it was reality and its pesky ability of pointing out that we don't have precognitive abilities.
I would wager that a direct democracy's response would have been far more brutal since only the communists and intellectuals (but I repeat myself) do that th, thin, thinking, ya, thinking thing.
Last "fixie" I had was when I was 12 and gave it up when I got enough money for a ten speed. I don't need, or want, my keyboards to provide machine gun sound effects.
"The model M is far from fashionable." Isn't that the pinnacle of hipster fashion, in this case/. hipsterism?
Swords are a bad example. Modern metallurgy shatters ancient techniques. You know why katanas were made with folding techniques? It's because the iron that was available sucked and folding drove out impurities and homogenized what was left. A milled blade out of modern alloys with temperature controlled (to the fraction of a degree and second) tempering may not seem as sexy as your 2,000 fold blade but it will cut through your precious like it wasn't there.
The music bits don't align properly when coming out of an automatically created directory structure. If you really want to hear your music you need to put in the effort to handcraft your music directories.
Playing files out of order from how they are ordered in their folder also degrades the quality so remember each playlist gets its own directory. If you have any hearing at all don't mess with metadata, it just lowers the bitrate.
A "GPS" app that takes a starting location and a maximum speed and calculates the "average" speed, "maximum" speed and timestamps necessary between that point and your current location to not have been speeding would sell like hotcakes. "But officer, I couldn't have been speeding, my Android GPS says so."
Yes, they totally made that decision because a site full of people who hate their service and don't use them anyways (publicly) had their sensibilities hurt. That was just as successful as/.'s campaign to topple the lame Apple.
Tempest, meet Teacup. Teacup, Tempest. I think you two will get along famously. Oh, you met over Other OS? I'll leave you two to it then.

Getting St. Manning's miracles lined up already?
I'd give credit to the Tunisian who immolated himself.
If only bluetooth and wi-fi weren't proprietary Apple protocols.
"or USB port?"

DU rounds aren't a war crime, yet, so I doubt regular AP rounds get you a war crime.
So anonymously he didn't even go bragging about it.
Police investigating a murder?!? What is this world coming to? Will no one think of the murderers?

The workers assembling the Xoom don't even get nets just a mote filled with rusty spikes and raw sewage. But hey, it's Android!!!!!

Google good. Apple bad.
It was never bad when Google did it. It'd only be bad if/when Apple does it.

Try looking for some pictures of multitouch use of the trackpad.

Since you've been unthawed you should know that it is now the year 2011, Macs do have right clicks but we don't have flying cars yet.
Using the "Under Construction" graphics from the mid 90s, "Coming Soon: GNU/Herd". Or would that be "GNU/Coming Soon: GNU/Herd"?

Toddlers and Tiaras is more disturbing than something like Faces of Death.
We need a license to drive a car, in some cities to have a dog, that show is proof there needs to be a license to have children.

People 'round these parts don't have consequences for their actions, only corporations do.
"The thing about Free Software is that it's probably built with the user in mind or with some purpose other than making money."
Yes, the user's suffering from the war-atrocity UI and lack of intelligible documentation is at the forefront of most Free Software creators' minds.
Or perhaps he did it because he was busted down to PFC for some other infractions and wanted to expose the unjustness of his punishment.
