yes, and imagine what sort of cancer inducing radiation we are bathed in, because i can see the radiation emitted by stars billions of light years away.
i doubt the brain has a separate 'audio processing' region. i think it might be spread out all over. only very few specific things have dedicated areas in the brain. everything else is 'distributed'.
sunlight is also non-ionizing. so can you look at the sun without burning your retina? nope. i think there is no relation between cancer and cellphones, but it would be wrong to dismiss the though just due to it being non-ionizing.
you're wrong. cell phone radiation is the same kind as light, yes. but unlike light, it can cause a very little amount of heating inside your head. the question is, does that heating pose a risk? i don't think it does, but i'm not a scientist. it worries me why so many studies do not agree with each other.
i agree that it is useless to pursue perfect sound reproduction. any speaker in the world cannot produce exactly the same waveform that comes out of a real guitar. just because of the difference in shape.
i've noticed that the xpressmusic phones actually do have quite decent sound. and i'm surprised. even high end phones and mp3 players do not have this level of sound quality. also, i use sennheiser noise blocking earbuds, they sound nice. but i am sometimes ashamed to admit that i liked the sound of my older sony better (which cost about half as much). lesson learned, sound quality is highly subjective. i just like the kind of sound the cheap earphones produce.

same thing happens with many gmail features, like desktop notification. it is not part of any standard, it does not work in any browser except chrome. but google says it is html5. sad times ahead i suppose.
i can't understand how this is not self-evident to everyone. this analogy is perfect. the us govt is unable to pay its debts with the money it has. does it borrow some money from others and pay back its current debts, or does it own up and say that it simply can't pay back the debt right now.
eye opening. imo, the only way to survive properly is to not raise the ceiling, and cut major portions of the budget. for eg, cut all military research, healthcare, and other things that can be done without for a few years. full disclosure: i am not a us citizen, nor do i live there. but regardless of that, i will be impacted by us policy. i will suffer, my investments will lose value, if the us goes down burning.
i hate it because the buying decisions of my fellow humans affect me too. for example, symbian and winmo are dead. they were proper smartphone platforms. android phones are being locked down (although this will not continue for long, it think). all this is a direct consequence of iphone misleading people into thinking it is a smartphone.
don't you get it? i can, by your logic, argue that my calculator too can run arbitrary code. because, after all, i can just pay millions of bucks and get a majority share in casio. then i can put any program i want into the calculator. imposing a (non-trivial) price on the development tools is a serious matter. only devices that can get away with this are special-purpose computers (xbox, ps3, etc). since iphone too require you to pay to develop for it, it is NOT a general-purpose computer, thus it is not a smartphone. again, you might not agree with this because the very definition of a smartphone has been fucked by apple marketing dept.
Okay, twice can't just be a typo. "Brought" is not the same word as "bought".
I gave up on trying to correct the internet a few years ago, and even on Slashdot for a while. But seriously, if you're using words like "estoppel", you should know the difference between bought and brought.
Yes, I'm not in a good mood today.
I'm slightly dyslexic. I know when to use cut and paste (for words like estoppel), but other words catch me out, particularly homophones - which bought and brought are in my non-rhotic accent.
And yes I coppied and pasted "homophone"
from where? and how did you get there without typing the word?

wire=electrical cable
is there any difference?
and vinyl records give reliable sampling @ >44khz?? i doubt it. anyway, the adult ear can only hear upto ~15Khz, so 44KHz should be more than enough.

at least one person agrees with me. i don't care about the mods, i have plenty of karma to burn.
i admit i like to buy high quality hardware. is it wrong of me to assume that i'll be able to develop software on a machine of my choosing?
no, i think paying $599 for a mac is stupid, because you get hardware worth only $299.
no, but i do not overpay for mediocre quality hardware. i get a thinkpad.
checking now. thanks.
thousands because you pay them for the hardware (the development machine), too.

nice dodge! please continue contributing to the steve jobs fund!
i'd love it if google buys ALL patents that exist. then it would just hold 'em and buy up any new patents too.

google developed their own thing. coincidentally it is identical to java. therefore no license fee owed.
Products more technologically advanced does not equal superior.
then what does? i'll tell you. 'superior' for normal everyday people means "designed by apple".
