Still no captions for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. It's almost as if it they want a class action lawsuit or something. Ten percent of your userbase is no small amount (I would think).
You are logically correct. However, you would never get real people to go along with such a system because people quickly go illogical when their own lives, or the lives of loved ones are on the line. We are much more likely to have a healthcare system paid for by a preset percentage of the economy, the size of which will be quite large.
And if they had 80 of these devices, that's only 1 continuous year. If they had ~80k they could do the entire population in a single 8 hour day. Never underestimate the ability of the government to waste money invading our privacy.
I may be an asshole, but you I think you did your math incorrectly. You should have divided 955 people per square mile by 2.59 sq km per sq mile. That gives 368 people per square kilometer. I didn't check your numbers, only your units.
Iceland is tiny, and their economy is small. Whether you live close to 300k people or not doesn't change it.
I feel quite badly for iceland, they are suffering under a significant economic downturn affected by just a few banker types. However, even if/when the entire country goes to Open Source, Microsoft won't even notice the 20k annual licences or so that go with them. Only 300k people live in Iceland. More people live within 10 miles of me, and just about everyone else reading this. They just don't matter in the global scheme of things.
WM has complete configurability for all sounds. Want it to play an mp3 every time it registers a click? Not a problem. I've set my text alert to be only vibrate, even when the phone has sounds enabled, but it's quite loud with some of the built in alarm sounds. Of course, your mileage may vary due to carrier lockdown. *cough verizon
You seem to have some intelligent points to make. However, I can't decipher them. I'm not trying to be a pedant, but can you take a second and try to rework your post to make it more clear? In particular, can you elaborate on your point about ebay not encrypting passwords?
I applaud Netflix for their efforts to support more system configurations. However, it enrages me that they still do not support closed caption or subtitles on their system. The data is already collected in an easy to use format, it is literally 150 KB per movie, they merely need to support it! They are cutting off 10% of their audience, for seemingly no other reason than that they don't give a damn about the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community.
Those phones were hardly free in 1983, and I would gladly have taken one back then in return for releasing my usage data. Hell, I'd still take one no strings attached.
I'd do it for a sony experia x1, or htc touch pro. If it became too obtrusive, I could always buy my own phone and walk away from it. I doubt I would. Of course, if this were forced on me, I would effect armed resistance. But for a free sweet phone.....
Morality may vary wildly from person to person, or from culture to culture. However, I was talking about the effect of observation upon morality. If you think an action is wrong, it matters not whether you have been observed doing it. You will still have violated your own moral code.
Regarding talk shows with good content and good sound quality. Have you tried some of the podcasts out there? I'm thinking specifically of Keith and the Girl
Top quality sound, free daily hourlong+ shows. Not censored in the slightest, and gut bustingly funny comedy.
The same is true in America. I thought this guy must be in Europe. I'm taking PDE right now in my 2nd year of undergraduate studies, and my wife took one year to write her thesis. I'm not at some fancy school either.
Anybody else notice that cnn.com has never worked on the ps3 browser? It used to give me an out of memory error after browsing cnn for a while. Now, with the 2.50 update, it the browser stops responding to input and you have to exit to the XMB.
That kind of thing happens a little less on IE, or so I hear.
On a macro basis you are probably correct. However, on a micro basis things are less clear. To the nation, one dead taxpayer is just a lamentable as another. To you, it makes a big difference whether you die, or some other schmuck who didn't stay inside and wait out the pandemic dies. Each individual will try to maximize his own chances for survival.
By "our crowd". I mean the people who frequent slashdot, and post on technology related forums. News for Nerds. We tend to have a similar political bent.

I've googled, and I can't find the data to which you are referring. Perhaps you are incorrect?
I learned at 3 years old that "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."
Apparently the Thai king never did, what a retard.
I take that to mean, "not since 7th grade." Sounds like your upper lip isn't very stiff?

Doh! You're right, I was wrong.

You're just wrong on that, and if you don't know it, it's only because you're too stubborn to think about it.
You can't buy a smartphone (eg, a phone/pda combo) without getting a wired or wireless headset so that you can operate the PDA while taking a call.

Oh for crying out loud. She likes missionary, then cowgirl. I usually like to finish with a little doggy style. BFD. Please don't shoot me.

Can you not think of a situation in which I can kill you, and it would be legal? This is why convictions are required for proof of illegality.
Of course, morality is absolute, regardless of being observed, but we aren't talking about morality.

Where does the number come from in your .sig? Is Natalie Portman only .999745628 of a person? What happened to the approximately 1/4000th of her?
Am I the only one that thinks of Least Significant Bit, for the acronym LSB?
