I can get different rates for my electricity depending on use. My water heater is on offpeak and gets one rate while everything else gets another rate. If I had electric heat I could get that on yet another rate.
Well, at least one person read the summary before going into FROTH_AT_THE_MOUTH mode...
Now all we need is for some company to do something with lleD, utnubU, etc., etc. since those trademarks are obviously available and are OK to use by most of these posters' statements.
"Chicken pox also has a vaccine, but if you get it as a child you only risk a week at home, some itching, and maybe a scar if your parents can stop you from itching too much."
Actually chicken pox can lead to shingles later on, so it's not just an itchy week at home.
"Perhaps Linux can get a better foothold in the tablet market than it has in the desktop arena."
Not very likely. Given the restrictions of the tablet form factor UI is even more important than it is on desktops or laptops. Sure linux is free and all that but you tend to have to have a gun to a linux developer's head to get him to spend time on polishing the UI.
"Femenism simply means the belief that all people are equal irrespective of gender. Some femenists are angrier or more shrill than others, but the fundamental definition of femenism remains, to wit..."
So shouldn't they be calling this "femenism" Humanism or Peopleism or Egalitarianism?
Beejive seems to handle messages well enough with push notifications if you have to switch out to another app for a bit and most modern (hell even ICQ) chat services can handle offline messages. It can also do multiple chat sessions/services at the same time so you don't need multitasking to do that.
The screen is rather small as it is for just doing one thing at a time so if I'm not in the chat app I don't won't chat windows taking up all or some of the window when I'm doing something else.
If there's any labs now, or in the future, based on the information that is being willfully ignored it doesn't just hurt the ignoramus, it hurts anyone that gets stuck with them.
Get a group project where the workload is supposed to be manageable with the 4 people in the group but then have 1-3 of them turn out to be dead weight (and not be honest about what they aren't getting done) and their not paying attention in class sure as hell will affect you.
Being a well designed appliance is one of the iPad's advantages over netbooks (which I don't think it is directly competing with anyways, aside from the size being similar).
Some people prefer a well designed limited use tool over a "does everything but does them all equally poorly" swiss army knife../ers like the tools that can do everything even though it is a pain to use them. Normal people tend to like tools that get the job done well, easily, and reliably.
Watches have minuscule power consumption compared to a phone and can get along with using capacitors instead of batteries so there is less loss during charging.
Getting a kinetic charger to kick out the power necessary to charge a lithium battery would be very impressive.

There's a difference between an appliance and a general purpose computer. The iPhone, iPod, and iPad are appliances. iMacs, MBPs, Mac Pros are general purpose computers. Each has their own special use cases, requirements and capabilities. Trying to do things that require a (general purpose) computer on an appliance generally doesn't result in a satisfactory user experience.
'No' is the only safe "business" answer he can give.
If there's no tethering on the iPhone (in the US) at the moment then it would be rather logical that you can't tether the iPad to the iPhone (in the US).
I know. It's a right pain to stumble across an Vorbis encumbered file and then have to demux it, fix the stream to be something useful and then rebuild the file.
Why yes, I do use a device that doesn't support Theora|Vorbis. How could you tell?

I, for one, am glad for global warming.
Otherwise I'd be living under the glacier that formerly covered much of North America.
How the indigenous people managed to get SUVs and gas without factories or refineries is beyond me, but I'm thankful for their efforts.

Salt is not good for you and has been deemed bad, thus it is illegal.
Anyone want to go to Taco Bell?
Above the table they don't make much. Don't know why anyone would want to be a politician for the pay they get.
Now the bribes and kickbacks on the other hand...

That would make Glocks with the Safe Action rather inconvenient to carry...
Hair trigger is just a trigger that doesn't have a trigger guard.
Set triggers can have a greatly reduced trigger pull.

Perhaps the amount of urea crystals lining the bag is more than the average amount of urea in the urine would provide.
X may have Y in it but that does not mean that X has sufficient amounts of Y for a specific purpose.
And there's iron in your blood so why haven't you built a skyscraper from it yet?
We've always been at war with Apple.
Did you hear the good news about our chocolate rations?
FYI Android has fart apps as well.

Communities don't just exist to prop up your investments either.
If you're that worried about your property value go live in an investment commune.
I'm really curious as to what logic allows for one type of abortion to be murder while another isn't.
Dictating diet? Really? I'd have thought the Food Pyramid Police would have hauled me in by now.
So what about when an embryo naturally fails to implant? Is that murder too? The outcome is the same.
What about all those un-fertilized eggs that are flushed out as part of the menstrual cycle?
