At the time AMPS was dropped, cell phones were pretty much toys for rich people. Rich people can just go out and buy new cell phones without having to skip meals to afford the replacement.
Is that a reference to the way Symantec products tend to gobble up system resources? Or is mister Thompson in some sort of legal trouble? I don't get it.
People who illegally download movies need a LOT of space. I'm not sure what other normal consumers would possibly need that much space, as there's only so many baby pictures you can take before the kid's off to college.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not an angry parent or some anti-gaming crusader, but the industry as a whole would be healthier if they made more games for kids. Link
I don't know anything about this senator, but clearly he is either a moron, or he thinks the American people are stupid.
How can anyone be dumb enough to think that this isn't exactly what the legislation was designed to allow? I suppose next senator Grassley is going to tell us that the legislation that gave tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas was not supposed to put Americans out of work.
I am also a believer in Hanlon's Razor. In fact, I I'll stick with Hanlon on this one and disagree with you.
When the owner of Diebold boldly promised to "deliver" Ohio to the Republicans (was it in 2004?), I'm pretty sure he was talking about how easy his product is to hack, not about bugs in the software (intentional bugs or otherwise). There is strong circumstantial evidence that Diebold has been involved in intentionally changing the results of elections, but I don't think this particular counting mishap is further evidence of that; I think it's just shoddily-written software.
I run into a lot of non-tech people who have difficulty understanding the difference between an HD TV and an HD signal. Such people would probably answer the question they thought they were asked, by correctly identifying the TV as being high definition, without ever really understanding that an HD TV can display both HD and SD content.
Yes, the researchers probably explained the difference to the respondents during the course of the study, but many such people still don't understand the difference between HD & SD signals even after you explain it to them.
If you're concerned about these things, I think you're in entirely the wrong field, buddy. Why don't you take a few physics classes and see if that stuff is more your speed?:D
Unfortunately, if you read real performance reviews on SSD, you'll find that some of them have better performance and worse power consumption, or better power consumption and worse performance, not to mention all of them are seriously lacking in storage capacity. Someday we'll have SSD drives with better performance, better power consumption, and equivalent capacity, but not any time soon.
From reading the reviews from the usual hardware sites, this looked like a pretty impressive drive. Whatever this is, I hope Seagate clears this mess up.
Obama got more coverage, but a higher percentage of his coverage was negative compared to McCain's coverage. This is just more conservative spin from the so-called "liberal media".
Besides, if you reduce the strength of your muscles, you have to work harder to accomplish the same things. Doesn't this make stretching more valuable for workouts or athletic practice sessions?
Please do! If the right wing extremists leave this country, the country will become a better place!
Since you guys seem so keen on living in a theocracy, might I suggest moving to Iran? I think they still execute gay people over there, I'm sure you'd like that.
My original support for Obama came from his early criticism of the war. He even did so back when everyone else was afraid to do so.
Now, if you take a careful look at his stated positions, you will see that he's not all that different from the Republicans where the war is concerned. About the only real difference was that he wanted to pull troops out of Iraq and move them to Afghanistan. Now that Bush has taken Obama's advice, what exactly is the difference between the two men where the war is concerned?
Both wars need a radical change in political strategy, diplomacy, and overall strategy, but Obama doesn't seem interested in doing that, which is one of the reasons I voted for Cynthia McKinney.
Scooter Libby's pardon proves nothing of the sort. Stevens probably doesn't know anything that incriminates Darth Jar-Jar, so there's not much reason for Bush to pardon him.
Agreed, Dhasenan. How he came across the information is irrelevant. He didn't abuse the security breach and he reported it to the relevant authorities.
For years our society had the nasty habit of punishing women who reported rape, and where did that get us as a society? Let's not repeat this mistake with computer security issues.
While there might be a rash of undecided midwestern voters going for Obama because of his big ears, I think overall this particular election is unusual enough that effects like this won't really make a difference one way or another.

Would it be immoral if we nuked Hollywood in an effort to prevent this movie from being made?

Anyone who doesn't understand by now that Democrats are just Republican-Lite needs to have their heads examined.
If they banned everything but kid's games, then that would certainly be a violation of the first amendment, but this is not.

It's a crime that they made a laptop that large, but didn't include a numeric keypad.

Scientists can't even agree on how evolution works! How are we supposed to believe anything they say now?

This is a white collar crime, therefore he'll be going to the minimum security prisons, a.k.a. "club Fed". His ass is in no danger.

In other news, Cthulu has risen and has started eating nuns.
Uhm, aren't those "large mosquitoes" actually a separate species that preys on mosquitoes?
