Nope. Granny's got to stay in her own damn lane and go at least 40mph on the interstate just like everybody else. Granny also has the option of shredding her license and not driving anymore if she's too blind to see the road.
And I'm supposed to take the case off the phone and switch SD cards in the middle of the trip? No thanks. You'll notice that we're talking about digital music players here, not your old cassette deck or CD player that has to have the media switched out every hour or so.
I purchased a used iPod Video 80GB on eBay because it was supported by RockBox. I have 60+ GB of music on my iPod. A 64GB microSD card costs nearly $150; I could buy another used iPod 80GB for that money. There's no online service that would provide that much storage for free, even if my mobile provider allowed me enough bits per month and bits per second to do so. Driving 10 hours back and forth to school four to six times a year makes the iPod with Rockbox a very useful device. I'd also rather not use the battery of my phone to be playing music, when I might need it for communication uses in an emergency.
First computer for me. I've still got it in the closet, along with a 1651-II and a 1541 (which needs a replacement chip), three tape drives, a 40-column color TV monitor, and a ton of disks and cartridges I need to back up and submit to the archive.
You're comparing two like things and saying they're the same as two opposing things. If you're really a UCD student, you need to go talk to your advisor about taking some courses in basic logic.
Part of that problem is continued population growth. The world is not growing, and there is a finite limit on supportable population. There are only so many jobs to be had, and when two stupid people have nine children, they've just created seven people who are more likely than the first two to be unemployed. Get a damn condom.
I love it when my browser decides hitting enter in a textbox means I wanted to submit the form instead of adding a new line...
My iPod market consists of gen 5.5 "iPod Video" devices on eBay with decent storage capacities on which I can install Rockbox. I'll go with FLAC, thanks. I can also put my files directly on the drive with logical file names (like Artist/Album/Track.filetype) and not have to install the bloated load of malware called iTunes, and if somebody I'm visiting wants a copy of a track, they can pull it off the drive without having to install iTunes to be able to tell which track is which.
My iPod also has this handy 3.5mm jack so I can plug it into a nice stereo or nice pair of headphones. It's not the best DAC in the world, but it is by far not the worst...
I've got ReplayGain, I've got decent tags, and all the other stuff FLAC has. Just why would I switch to ALAC? "They opened the source!" isn't a good reason. FLAC was already open source, anyway. If my iPod supports ALAC hardware decoding (I don't know if it does or not), doing so just to save battery time is pointless, with the battery already lasting 12-16 hours, and I've got a 12V "lighter" to USB power adapter, anyway.

It's an option if you can manage to get gift cards to that Russian music store...

Or watching as Chrome spawns 13 processes to run a bunch of malicious scripts and thereby freezing your whole system, rather than just the browser...
Firefox users were the most persistent. Palin obviously doesn't use Firefox.
CyanogenMod adds this nice feature where you can selectively disable permissions. Facebook does not have access to my messages.
Yes it is, .
4GiB is not 4000MB, though.
"nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself"
That's why the 5th is relevant, here.
Good to know. I've seen some insane people who could use it. How do you cure insomnia, though?
Funny how my AMD/ATi cards have always been much more cooperative in Linux than my nVidia cards...
Last time I checked, there was somebody sitting at the front driving, and it was therefore not _driverless_.
Here's an ideal scenario: Get all the manual idiots off the road, so the smart cars don't have to deal with them :)
They'll be a better overlord than AT&T...

I wouldn't hire you.

You'd have to accelerate the law, first. Go, law, go!
Obtuse Anglos?
Your quip is bass-ackwards.

Only if the hanger is on the ceiling of a hangar in Kazakhstan.
Yay for trolls moaning about CLI when you have Synaptic and YAST and KPackage (Shaman2) and gnome-control-center and kcontrol and YAST...
value is based directly on scarcity. Remove scarcity, and you remove value.
Quality is a great replacement for scarcity. Scarcity is a tool of the mediocre.
