Or are you REALLY so disorganized that you can't manage to keep a few "current, interested in listening/watching/reading/playing these things" items on your tablet to keep you busy for 5-6 hours on a trip? And if you are... how exactly does an SD slot fix that problem? You'll just end up with a fucking empty SD slot which you forgot to load shit on for your long bus/plane ride, too.
Can this myth of "without removable storage your tablet is worthless" finally fucking die? PLEASE?
SD is the easiest way to get content on to, and off of, these types of devices. I also would be largely interested in using a tablet to review photos taken with my camera.
I don't think it's practical, but I get the point. Think of this as a train that can adjust local stops on the fly before being embarking on regional "railways."
I ordered with Newark here in the US the day after they went up for pre-order and got mine in early June. Their FAQ says that by the first week of July, they (Farnell) will have shipped 100k units. I think that's pretty encouraging, since this is from just one of the two distributors, even if demand so high as to produce long waits.
Q. Are you on track with your promise to fill all back orders?
A. Yes. We made a promise to customers who ordered before 18th April, that they would ship their Pi’s before the end of June. We are on track to keep that commitment. We will have shipped out 41,000 Raspberry Pis by the end of May and our customers will have received, or will be receiving their Pis over the next few days. We are on track to have shipped 100,000 Raspberry Pis by the end of June and have further production planned for delivery to customers in July. (Modified on 20-June : We're sorry to have to say that due to an unforeseen production delay with our manufacturer, there will be a short delay of up to 1 week. Orders that were received before 18th April will now be shipped at the end of June / early July. For orders received after the 18th April, we will be shipping those deliveries throughout July into August. We will send you an email confirming your delivery prior to despatch.)
I think I failed to read the graphs. I get it. The men's participation levels are higher now than circa 1995, but the women's participation levels are the same.
Every chart I look at in TFA looks pretty flat, as far as the M:F ratio. It looks like both men and women tried to jump on the dotcom bandwagon, and we've normalized back to early-mid 90s levels.
You mean studios will finally be able to pan at a reasonable speed without it looking jittery and fucking terrible?
24 fps is terrible and you should feel bad for propping up a dying standard.
It's only jittery because action movies have come out of the Private Ryan/Gladiator school of film making for the last 15 years or so. Read more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_disc_shutter
I think 24fps with the traditional motion blur looks fine. That said, I'm all for PJ experimenting with higher FPS, so audiences and directors/DPs can find out what everyone is happiest with. Oh, and I hate 3D movies.
Why cant they skimp more and make it a feature. use 6 AA batteries. LET the buyer go out and get his own batteries. That way it adds a significant amount of useful to the thing. Plus all the survivalist nuts would be all over it.
Because if there's one thing you need to survive, it's a crappy laptop.
On behalf of the Old Earth Creationists, let me request that this is presented such it doesn't practically beg Young Earth Creationists to scoff at science here.
I have no idea what you're saying here. Please clarify.
It is reasonable, then, to assume that they are not doing it because they can do a better job than the school system. That means it could easily be for religious reasons, which I believe are a terrible reason to homeschool. The submission likely would have said otherwise if that were not the reason.
How did you manage to go from
1) It could be religious reasons to 2) It's probably religious reasons because the submitter didn't say otherwise?

Otherwise, my desktop and laptop are around six years old and going strong.

well at least it would do something to the economy unlike our current politicians....
You mean besides make things worse?

Ah yes, the weekly Raspberry Pi post.
One post a week is really that bad?
>It's also for people who are extremely bad at poetry, but want to express themselves and get $$$ anyway.
There are people who are well paid for good poetry?
How is harassment by the police not a crime?
The better approach is from the demand side and go after employers of illegal immigrants. But good luck getting Arizona to target big business.
It's not just big business. Also include shops, contractors, and many people who hire cleaners/maids/gardeners.
Guns purchased in the U.S. used by Mexican drug cartels
It sure helps that the bureau that's supposed to be keeping an eye on gun sales was intentionally allowing them to be sold to the cartels http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATF_gunwalking_scandal
Neither seems dated to me.
Say I want a video game console on which I can run homemade video games. Should I get a Microsoft, Nintendo, or Sony console? They're all locked down.
Buy a computer.
Sorry, that interpretation of the NT, especially of Jesus's teachings, is pretty far off base. Ready Luke 16 some time. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+16&version=NIV
The opposite is true around here, so what's the big deal?

Older movies = 180-degree shutter angle = longer exposure per frame = more motion blur
Newer (action) movies = 90- or 45-degree shutter angle = shorter exposure per frame = less motion blur (action in each frame is "frozen")

More than one acronym in a story title is confusing.

Oops. Well there goes my snarky comment. Meant that 42% =/= 1/2.
I could have told you that 42% 1/2.
To the general public, the term “hacker” refers to a user who breaks into a computer system.
FTFY.
Best not to go to your boss asking to hire a "hacker." And I sure wouldn't use that term in writing.
To be fair, I find the general public is often more informed than the media are.
