"On the downside, Nokia has given the 6820 a mere 3.5 MB of internal shared memory, which some business professionals may find insufficient for storing all their e-mails, text and multimedia messages, ring tones, images, video clips, calendar notes and "to-do" lists -- not to mention any of the available Java Latest News about Java applications that they may want to download to the device."
Yes. For my "business". You just keep telling yourself that you are not a phone fashion geek but a "business professional" and maybe, if you wish hard enough, it will come true!
I think you really have no idea what clout the gay vote has. In fact minority votes have a huge impact because, socially speaking, minorities have huge social clout. When you piss off a minority they get angry and cause a stir. As a politician that mobilizes people who would otherwise be indifferent to the cause against you.
As for your bigoted views as to sexuality being a choice and going against the "grain of traditional society" I would pickup a history book and see if that's really true. You'll quickly find that it is not. In many cutlures, such as ancient Greek and fist nations, homosexuals were exhaulted. In much of modern times we've always existed but have been persecuted.
For instance in the 1960's Tupperware parties actually served as a front for womens liberation. Queer women could meet other queer women without their husbands around. Even straight women could enjoy a cigar or a glass of brandy and do "unlady-like" things. Meanwhile the husbands would be at country clubs which were often the reserve of bisexual and gay men to meet eachother without their wives around. We've always existed. It's only today that we can be out and proud to live our lives and seek our inalienable right to freedom.
It is testament to our society that people of all sexualities, colours and race expect to be treated equally. And our responsibility as a just and equitable society is to grant people their equal rights.
Did you consider for a moment that researching, developing and quality testing within a single organization that makes this code while keeping real financial responsibilities might be a little more difficult than filing bugzilla reports and CVS patches from the safety of your dorm room or geek cave?
But yeah, Microsoft is a monopolist and everything is a grand orchestrated plot to undermine security, linux and.. and freedom! Tinfoil hats man.
Spoken like a true censor! I think all material belongs in a library. Especially free material. I don't know what sort of Librarians' Association Kansas has but I think elsewhere in the world they would be tripping over themselves to get that much attractive media into a library for FREE.

Let's not leave out the fact that lots of these costs occur because of the nature of the UK as a trading nation. Having lived both in the UK and Canada I can say that it probably just isn't feasible to build the same industrial and transport infrastructure that we have here. Not that the EU and the UK aren't building new more innovative infrastructures that meet the limitations of available space, environmental impact and budget. It's just that in North American we enjoy the fuits of 20th century technology such as huge high capacity highways and freeways that span thousands of miles, inland seaways, air freight and most importantly: a crapload of space and seemingly unlimited environmental resources to plunder!
Let's not also forget that minimum wage in North American is about £3 whereas it's £5 in the UK and even more inside of large cities like London. Having lived in both countries I think it's a myth that people in the UK make less money and have higher cost of living. Maybe in the past however today I can safely say that you make more in the UK but also pay more.
There is a dark side to the "stack 'em high, sell 'em cheap" mantra of the USA as well. Whereas in the UK you can buy reasonable quantities at a fair price it is increasingly difficult here to buy small quantities without getting hosed. In the case of perishables this is a real losing proposition for consumers. For non-perishables it's just annoying. 10 liters of thumb-tacks anyone?
It's all rather even in the end, annecdotally speaking.
Yes, artists do think they're great "thinks" just like you. I assume you meant thinkers?
Believe it or not it's a lot easier to appreciate art for whatever it can do for you than to criticize it. But I guess artists are just entertainers. Like Britney Spears and Celine Dion.
Seriously, try challenging yourself to think about what this concept means beyond the sublime (this PC is gonna get crushed). Appreciation will enrich your life.
Dude, most Nokia phones are fantastic. The 6xxx/5xxx series have been the benchmark in which other phones are held against for ages now. I'd guess it's the 7160 model that kinda sucks, it was never made in a TDMA/CDMA version for the US and mostly just used in Europe as a GSM model. Meaning it likely didn't make the cut for durability. I wouldn't give up on Nokia, I've had a 918, 5160, 6180 and now a 8360 and totally been in love with every one.
I agree with you except on the point that he's "blaming" downloaders. Moby is also the man quoted as saying "trying to stop p2p filesharing is like yelling at the tide".
If you read the article he's more making the distinction between his equally large group of fans and that of P!NK and the like. Fans of the later are likely younger girls coping with stuff like body imagine problems and crushes as opposed to moby fans who likely fit better into the early-20s. Now that we've established those sweeping generalizations it can be assumed that the 20-somethings are a little more savvy to sharing files, especially entire albums
I can understand Moby's perspective, even if he is an egomaniac.
Just an off topic point. It seems post 9/11 everything is a war. Even though we never went to war.. maybe this quote is unrelated.
Is Linux really in a war against Windows? I don't want to argue intentions and semantics but I'd definitely like to point out that in a free market there is only competition, not war. Can Linux even be an antagonist to windows? The intentions are completely different in my mind.

I think the firewire ports on the front are very suspect. Purely speculation, but perhaps there's R&D going on for some sort of iPod application? I really can't imagine what, as these puppies are networked to the kilt... probably developer incentive as Apple is a force behind the interface.
Eco-system? Yeah, ok Bill there's a big BIG difference between your 30-year-old business model and the complex systems of biology that have been developed over millions of years of evolution.
I don't think this is as bad as some are reacting. If you use your connection legitimately and aren't some luser with morpheus/kazaa running 24/7/365 "downloading l33t I50z d00d" then I don't think you're likely to be charged.
Additionally I don't think this is going to be adopted on every cable network in the world either.
The fact remains that windows have been in development as a desktop OS longer than linux. Linux is catching up, but it'll be a while yet. If the community keeps pushing >>together to make it into something worthwhile on the desktop it will inevitable get there.
I would reserve judgements on a design until you spend time with it. This computer isn't just about looks, their own designer admits this, it's highly weighted towards function.
So, in a manner of speaking you are correct. People who'll buy the new iMac aren't as concerned about aesthetics. They want a computer that has as high physical function as computational power, which today with the price of components is pretty much a commodity that continues to decline in price.
People, people. It's a window manager that makes X programs fit in better with OS X programs visually. Sure, technically, it could be used on an x86 port of darwin but that really doesn't exist at least in any useable variety.
So why would apple give a flying fuck? It's making apps that run only on it's hardware platform a little prettier. Whoopie.
Ya know, sometimes I think the/. editors enjoy watching us fill in the blanks of their half-assed reporting. Then again I guess that's part of the charm of this site..
That's the most biased review I've ever read. I don't think Lucas took that much time to
Re-master the sound
Make flashy menus
Make a director's cut
Digital techniques are supposed to reduce production time, not lengthen them.
It's such a marketing decision. Classic supply and demand. Most starwars fans will have probably bought the DVD and the VHS by the 16th! What's that, $40-50 per fan for the same work?

Yes, personally I spend all day just feeling my MP3s. I don't even listen to them.
Frankly if the service is reliable and allows me fair use I'm willing to pay for it.
Hehe, tag. You're it.

I've been waiting years for Aphex to get props in slashdot.. although anybody who's read the afx faq has known about this for a while.

Wow, what a great way to wreck many great consoles at once.
I doubt that monstrosity will last long without breaking somehow.
Hey, guess what?! We don't have to buy it!
Anybody remeber No Holds Barred starring Hulk Hogan? I have a feeling The Mummy will be just as memorable. This does not bode well.

What is it exactly, is MS just too cheap to pay developers to fix security holes when they could be making new products that'd make at least $60/pop?
Oh, yeah, that is it.
