So in other words I'll get First Post much faster since slashdot switched over.
"Weight - Try carrying around any model you consider strapped to your back or in your arms for 8 hours a day for a week and then remember that you are 11 and have to carry books and other supplies as well. Then go get a model that at most weighs 4 pounds and hopefully less."
I've been wondering how E-ink* and E-books will change this?
*Especially the models that allow one to annotate the book.
I note in the article he says telephone companies NOT cable companies. They both may be evil but it does no good to muddy the waters by mixing up the two when discussing broadband.
With the ever changing landscape. What would be a good worldwide capture card that would work for all standards both terrestrial and satellite that uses the PCIe x1 slot?
"If you go online, you can pretty much download any of their books for free from their website. Maybe they can make it back through providing service..."
We could always go back to the good old days when someone with money (lets call them kings) would pay someone else (lets call them scribes) a sum of money to create a one of a kind product that would go perfect in one's personal library. I predict a growth market (lets call them paperbacks).
You can't social engineer if everyone pays the same rate.
Quoted because you touched upon the OTHER reason we have taxes (and credits). By taxing and crediting, society encourages certain behaviors and discourages others.
Funny because it's true. At no greater time in history has communications ability been so great that even people in Kenya will be able to watch a historical event.
That's a lot more than they're required to do and more than most companies would do.
Considering the mounting evidence, stalling, and potential class-action lawsuit. I'd say your "required to do" would have quickly turned into, "we have to".
I agree. And yes I own two Seagates and I've also owned IBMs as well so I'm familiar with HD failure. My issue isn't so much the failure although the "death without warning" isn't reassuring. The way Seagate handled the matter is why I question wither people can ever trust them again. Hardware can be replaced. Trust not so easily.
"...if not to produce 100% failure-proof designs, then to do everything they can to fix the problem and make it right by the costumer."
Then you might want to read this link in it's entirety since it's obvious the person who modded me couldn't be bothered to. Seagate made right, but the arm twisting that it took shouldn't have happened.
"Command economies and totalitarian ideologies seem to be good at the brute-force, metal-bashing, rule-of-thumb kind of engineering, but not stuff requiring higher levels of precision."

That looks like a nice box. How well does it work with a Media Server?
Unless they're all the same model made in Thailand.

"It is too bad there isn't any proper news article about this, but I think it bodes well for those who champion free content. "
But not for those who argue against "perpetual" copyright income.
"People don't often get tired of voicing their actual opinions."
Haven't been modded down much, have you?
"Granted, some of the arguments get really circular, but there is wisdom in the old-timers."
Note to self. Ask grandpa if women should stay in the kitchen?

If you want to note the impact of flat-panels. Image that command center with CRTs that size. You'd be popping tires left and right.
"As the inevitable cuts came, who do you think hung on to their job?"
The guy who installs coat hooks.
Well there's an interesting debate on EMR, including some physicians.
How much for the wall?

Isn't the way this worded presuming guilt before innocence? Is doing business in a tax-haven country an automatic fail?

You better believe PR nightmare. After this how many will ever trust either the company or their products again?
"However, the only real latino we had in Star Trek was Mr. Montalban, who was the antagonist in both Space Seed and its sequel, The Wrath of Kahn."
True, but playing the villain is so much fun.
That reminds me. Wasn't there a book series about the Eugenic Wars with Khan as part of it?

Like say launching rockets into orbit.
