Memory cards are still above the dollar mark in price. Discs are usually below the dollar mark and possibly even the $0.01 mark.
Nintendo got burnt with the late move from solid state, at the time if the N64 since they just couldn't provide sufficiently large storage capacity or the lower cost. Until solid state is both cheap enough and has enough capacity I am sure that they will continue with disks. Pressing a disk is also probably faster too.
The Wii U is likely to still have an SD reader for game saves.
They are complementary technologies. The best article was the original Snow Leopard review at Ars Technica, which explains the two technologies. Typing from a phone, so can't provide you with the URL for the moment.
That just sounds narrow minded. There are many countries doing crazy bullshit. This bullshit is limited to their own borders and they haven't yet created a report on how badly Canada is doing;)
The problem in France is they still believe what your parents did matters when you are trying to position yourself in society. The revolution only got rid of the king, since the rest essentially stayed the same.
Animal farm wants their president back. As a French national this makes me question my nationality. Between three strikes patents and this I wonder whether France truly got rid of the Nazis? Sad thing is there are so many other 'first world' nations that are also following this trend of returning to medevial times.
The sad thing is recent behaviour of both democrats and republicans show that it doesn't make a difference which party rules. They just screw their population in slightly different ways, unless you have the cash to pay to screw.
The recent problem has been the heavy handed shutting down of sites without due process. Given the number of problem sites I can understand why they want to do this, but at the same time shouldn't there be some sort of transparency. Also, it would be nice if the US crack down of sites only affected sites in the USA and didn't impact what other countries see.
That's why security guys always seem paranoid. Security is a moving target and has to be frequently audited. The solution that was good enough today may be useless tomorrow and what was great today may simply be good enough tomorrow
The other thing is trying to balance good security with the appropriate level of usability for the scenario in question. That is as much an art as it is a science.
Security is like a fortress, in that there is always a weakness you haven't thought of and unmanned there is an even bigger one.
The question I have is whether he was asked to take it down before risking suspension? I am sure many students don't realise that the school technically owns the rights to work done in school.
If the kid was not warned before suspending, then there is a real problem with the school.
I live in Canada and we would put this down to Harper style right wing nut jobs. Shame so much of Canada voted for this guy, but that was their right.
Kinda reminds of a t-shirt I saw the other day, which had the text "Havard... America's McGill", being worn by someone at McGill university in Montreal, Canada. Apparently people at Havard are bad at geography too? "USA's McGill" would have been better.
Nothing changes physically, but what does change is the addition of reponsibility.
As to the story I am not really seeing what would get him suspended? Are we talking about righteous style teachers that can't take things with a laugh? Also, why go so far as to involve the police?
The other thing worth mentioning is that there are plenty of CLI tools that are available for Linux that also run on MacOS X. If you find yourself needing any of those tools and Apple doesn't offer them, then looking at MacPorts (or equivalent) is worthwhile.
BTW one thing worth having is a hardware inventory, so that you know what hardware you have. This can be done in a spreadsheet or, since you have it, FileMaker.
This is why I would like to see a volountary certification process being offered. The idea is that a developer would pay $100 per year and then a team of testers at Google would check your applications and give you an "Android certified" logo, that would be presented in your Android Market listing. Of course the criteria for getting the certification would be public knowledge. For example it would be okay to be a battery hog as long as you have a legitimate reason and you notify the user on first launch.
While the cool air may be better for cooling the data enters, surely it would make even better sense to pipe that excess heat to local buildings. On the one hand the datacenter would be saving on heating costs and on the other hand the local buildings would save on heating costs.
The problem we have today is all too often buildings are seen as individual entities, instead of something that needs to fit into the local environment.
With th iPhone your cellular provider has squat to do with what gets installed on your device. They just act as the connection provider and don't get in the way between your device and the hardware manufacturer. I am not saying this to trumpet the advantages of the iPhone, rather to ask why no other manufacturer has taken this approach?
BTW my provider does provide an app, but like everything else you get it from the app store.
Apparently not. Surely it makes more sense to send out e-mails to each user with account specific tokens in order to reactivate the accounts? Its not perfect, but provides a bit more security. There are probably other suitable way, so if you know of any let me know.
Why is he not simply given jail time? I could understand being charged this amount if he stole something or benefited financially from this, but the only crime he committed was possibly being arrogant and holding the network hostage. If the state wants to punish him, then they should put him behind bars for a few months and possibly get some of the politicians to join him.
True, but most airports are termed by the biggest city they are associated with. It's only when you want to be accurate you term the area the airport is really in. You don't want to start confusing the people that are coming from outside of the country.
Heck even Charleroi is termed the second airport of Brussels by some.
And what is wrong with porn? It makes plenty of employment in places that it is recognised as a proper job - same argument given by so many execs from other industries.
As to Bin Laden I am still curious as to why the US assinated him instead of capturing him. Surely they have now made a martyr out of him in some circles?

I wonder whether charging the customer extra, via their game store, to enable blu-ray playback would be an acceptable solution to the patent holders?
Is this tech news? Things that matter?
Maybe I became too demanding now that I got old... (cranky?)
Well yeah, I was expecting it to make toast too. ;)
Surely that would be WISA? Windows, IIS, SQL Server, ASP.

This is /. Most people are in single player mode ;)

The fact that he's Canadian makes it all the more interesting.
Then again Canada does adhere to the charter of human rights. Maybe that changed with Harper?

Would you feel the same if the person at the next table stared at you the whole time you were eating your meal?
Beyond sending a physical letter to each person, I am not sure what to suggest.
Apparently not. Surely it makes more sense to send out e-mails to each user with account specific tokens in order to reactivate the accounts? Its not perfect, but provides a bit more security. There are probably other suitable way, so if you know of any let me know.
