This was pretty much my experience while I was a student. One of my female housemates nicknamed it the magic box of dreams. Then one day while playing worms (the directors cut), it caught fire. Worms kept on running but it was a sad day for us all.
If Samsung had changed a single thing on their products there would be no case. Square buttons or a different colour or differently shaped speakers. Anything and the case would never have even been filed.
For that to be true the galaxy tab and the ipad would have to be pretty much identical and they are clearly not. For starters, the galaxy tab is smaller, has a different aspect ratio and a removable battery. By your argument there should be no case.
The truth is that apple doesn't want the competition and if they hadn't of sued on these grounds it would have used some other pretense.
Marketing drugs shouldn't be expensive because it shouldn't be allowed. In the UK you cannot advertise drugs to patients, the only advertising allowed is to doctors. But doctors are provided with NICE guidelines which recommend which drugs should be used as first and second line treatment for each illness. NICE also seems to do admirably well at resisting the lobbying of the drugs companies. There are constantly stories in the right wing press bemoaning NICE not allowing some new and expensive drug to be prescribed instead of the cheap generic that it replaces.
Yeah, those Christian Extremist suicide bombers who blew up all those abortion clinics, boy, we need to put a stop to that.
And those Christian Extremists who made those death threats when South Park did an episode with Jesus in it. Man, those guys need to get real.
Yeah and those Christian Extremists who set off a car bomb in Omagh killing 29 people, they really need to get real.
As I posted above if you complain to the ASA there is a good chance that your complaint will be heard and actually take effect. No need to resign ourselves to our lying corporate overlords.
The Asa also recently increased their remit for what advertising they will regulate.
From March 1st 2011, the UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising, Sales Promotion and Direct Marketing (the CAP Code) has applied in full to marketing messages online, including the rules relating to misleading advertising, social responsibility and the protection of children. Journalistic and editorial content and material related to causes and ideas - except those that are direct solicitations of donations for fund-raising - are excluded from the remit.
Previously, our remit online was limited to paid-for ads (such as pop-ups and banner ads) and sales promotions wherever they appeared.
Unfortunately since it doesn't cover "Journalistic and editorial content", they are unable to get involved where a journalist has been clearly paid to write a glowing yet inaccurate endorsement of a product.
So if a drugs company was allowed to place an advert that said their drug cured cancer with little to no side effects, you would be fine with that and it would be the consumers fault for believing it?
The ASA are actually one of the most capable regulatory bodies within the UK. I've been continually impressed by them demanding peer reviewed evidence from manufacturers to support their claims, and by the decent balance their provide when people complain about adverts that go against their morals/religion.
A few years ago I read that the average number of complaints to the ASA that lead to the advert people pulled was 1.3 . In other words they take every complaint on their merit rather than from public pressure. So if you think an advert violates one of the standards, there is a good chance you can get it pulled.
The badscience forum provides an excellent Activisim section that can help when constructing these complaints.
1) I generally have trouble getting to sleep, although breaking off any use of computers/tv at least an hour before going to sleep helps.
2) Why avoid alarm clocks?
3) Yeah, as I said before too much use of tv/computer is a killer.
4) I cycle to work although adding in swimming is even better
5) Fortunately for me I have whatever the opposite of a sweet tooth is
Without medication I can usually hold things to together for a couple of weeks, maybe even a month, but then things start to fall apart to a degree where I seem incapable of putting it back together.
Getting medication in the UK has also been an absolute nightmare for me. As soon as I switch GPs the new one doesn't believe adult ADD exists and then will refuse to treat me for a while even though nice guidelines tell them they should. Quite a few of the GPs seem to have this idea that as soon as you turn 18 ADD always disappears. Now the local PCT is possibly refusing to fund any drugs, ugh.
Where do you think it goes after we consume it? It doesn't magically disappear. Simply purify/distill anything anyone pisses, and capture the sweat by using dehumidifiers.
Unfortunately, I can't take the real credit. When I installed Cyanogenmod, ciq was not a part of the package.
And you didn't think for a second that the performance difference could have been because you installed cyanogenmod on it, an android distribution widely known for speeding up phones?
You deserve to be modded troll for being so misleading.
Actually this is closer to someone saying hard disk drive and meaning an ssd. They perform the same function but differ in design, and so it would be harsh to judge people on not knowing that distinction.
Consider that you can now run a linux virtual machine in javascript. Which you could use to launch a window manager and open the pdf into a native viewer.
Document processing is tame compared to what is possible these days.
I don't want PDFs to open in the web browser. I want to open them in Acrobat in another window. Let the browser be a browser and Acrobat be Acrobat!
So you don't like googles feature of viewing pdfs in html? Personally I love not having to download the file and wait for the pdf viewer to instantiate itself. The main benefit being not having to worry about the latest pdf exploit ruining your day.
He said there was no safe amount of mercury exposure. Which means that eating one fish a year would be entirely unsafe by his logic. Except that its not.
In science a simple misconception can lead to thousands and millions of people being skeptical and disbelieving. For example the large number of people who think that humans evolved from chimpanzees rather than sharing a common ancestor.
In astronomy what misconception would you class as most dangerous to the general publics understanding?

Proof that sci-fi doesn't need fancy effects to make a great film.
It was also the first computer I ever used. It was 1991, I was 5 years old and was absolutely amazed by Podd. Podd can pop was my favourite.

Hahaha, that's exactly what I was talking about. I particularly liked this line
The sound is infinitely clearer
Have I ever known anybody to get a ticket for this? No... still best not to give a reason.
A lorry driver who was caught watching a cult television show at the wheel of his cab on the M6 in Cumbria has been given 225 hours community work. Benjamin Trotsman veered across the road while watching 1970s sci-fi show Battlestar Galactica on a laptop computer, Penrith magistrates heard.

I preferred the DVD advertising placed on VHS were they tried to wow you with how much better a DVD looks...

Why are they removing CouchDB before they have created its replacement? Surely they can support it for one more release.

I similary have ADD as does my father and probably my sister.
I'm going to give redshift a go and hopefully won't spend so much time on slashdot.
Have you any other tips/software that have helped you out?
Cheers

Someone having fun trolling?

There is no safe amount of mercury exposure. It is a potent neurotoxin.
Many food types including fish contain mercury. Are you saying that eating fish is not safe?
There's a lot of crazy people in the world.
Such hyperbole only serves to add to the craziness in the world.
