" With Apples new iCloud it's never been easier to carry a backup iPhone! "
Has iOS5 really been that much of a battery killer? I didn't notice a different on my ipad, though I'd only been using it a few days prior to the update.
My/windows is 22.8gb and has been going about nine months on this higher end gaming pc. Would be interesting to see how much lighter one could get a "barebones" install of 7.
Actually, if he's anything like me it could simply change how he communicates in English. It took some time to let the two sets of rules coexist in my brain, but even now I speak in a manner which is notably different from before. I suppose learning any other language makes you more aware of or changes the way you use your own native tongue.
I think his point was simply to show Microsoft could in theory screw Android. In reality I think Microsoft would come with less in this deal than Apple would. I don't know anyone who's second choice for a phone after Android was W7, heh.
Yeah well my uncles friends cousin worked for David Icke, Turns out Icke is really a monkey who went to space and returned with amazing powers of speech, now he wages a war against the reptilian power structure of the world in order to conquer it for his simian brothers. You can believe me, because my information is from such a highly placed source.
The vast majority of people don't care about much but dinner and the weeks TV line up, Susies recital and next weeks pay cheque. Does the fact that these people are not overly concerned about news in general make economic meltdowns and other recent events meaningless as well? Stallman is weird and sort of a jerk, most people are either stupid of largely uninterested in the bigger picture for one reason or another. These things have very little to do with one another.
Absolutely, I was just disagreeing with the notion that environmentalism has to mean a loss for the economy. Take for example recent breakthroughs in the sorting and recycling of plastics. (MBA Polymers is the company which comes to mind due to seeing a recent talk posted at TED.com by one of their head honchos.) This benefits our economy, allowing us to stretch the oil we do have farther.
Plenty of money to be made in renewable energy and lessening our environmental impact/stretching resources further. Finding a few years more harvestable oil is a good thing for our immediate future but isn't going to solve the problem long term. More to the point it seems you're talking more about hippies than environmentalists. It's pretty safe to ignore the ones who've joined hands and begun swaying.
Oh come on, you think Bell is charging $13/gb overage just to "keep us in line" and not to line their pockets? If they wanted to keep users in line, they'd throttle or contact the account owner and advise them of the issue/threaten fees. Instead they're skipping those steps and laughing all the way to the bank.
"Most of the rest of the world benefits from having far smaller distances to run service over!" I live in northern Canada and that is essentially the argument slapped about our faces whenever this issue comes up. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with Bell having no competition over landlines, due to a deal made in the past with an idiotic or arguably corrupt territorial government resulting in them owning the poles until 2012, if I recall correctly. Meanwhile they post record profits in a down economy. Spectacular.
I'm just going to submit that there is a certain expectation by the public that their government not behave in a manner best described as... fucking silly?
Does the maintainer of dpkg deserve support? Yes.
But this isn't a request to support him, it's about drumming up some cash to translate a book he wrote seven years ago.
It's a small shift,just a few millimeters. That's comparable to walking in light snow. A tad more work to be sure, but I can't see most people caring as they get to feel "Green". Also, in case you hadn't read the article they seem to space the tiles fairly widely, so walking around them is an option in light traffic at least.
Why are you spending $20 on a caddy for 160gig when a new 1tb is $70? At that point it sounds more like keeping old hardware around whether or not it's purposeful. I agree that it's not worth completely junking decent drives unless you're extremely paranoid, or have been using them to store pirated content That said with new replacements being so cheap I just can't justify the increased risk of failure if they're doing anything important. I trust the old hdds for my minecraft/mumble/irc server, but definitely not with my backups or the box I do my day to day work/play on.
Yeah and when I was a kid I bought Scotch Bonnet based hotsauce that came in a flask with similiar warning labels, effective marketing for masochists, heh. In the end it was nowhere near the pain of eating a fresh habanero, and while that was painful it certainly wasn't dangerous.
Just more proof Paladins are developer favorites. When was the last time you heard of a Sorcerer or Bard becoming the central figure of a globe spanning religion?
The world is full of assholes, and at best giving them the attention they crave makes you an idiot, at worst it paints a target on your back. Just... throwing that out there.

Some of us have concerns beyond our meat, sir.

You seem to be handling it.
I knew I should have just said a hojillion.
Sounds about as epic as 17500000000000000000 h2o molecules striking your face, in a raindrop.

This might be cheating, "but..."
Much like the rest of apples products its not the first, just the first (or one of) the first that doesnt suck.

I take it you're not an emacs user, then?
