Except that it cant restore blanked sectors, or at least it hasn't been proven, only theorized. Even the theoretical only could work at an expense that your local or state attorney general wont pay.
If you are a terrorist and the DOD is after you, id start to worry. Anything less than that? no.
Please. you can turn pages way faster on a kindle (push finger on physical button) that you can on an ipad (swype finger across screen with a pretty graphic). This isnt the kindle 1 we are talking about, that did have slowish page turns, still faster that a physical book though. The new generations of kindles are super fast.
And i doubt that anyone can read better from a LCD than a physical (or e ink) page. You might be -comfortable- reading from a LCD, but that doesnt mean that you wouldnt be more comfortable reading from eink.
um... no? my kindle is never unresponsive, and the only real "delays" are when looking up a word.
No, seriously, use a kindle. It is fantastic for reading. I have NEVER heard anyone complain about it being laggy or unresponsive. Sure, if you try to load gmail its going to take a bit, but its an ebook reader, and the experience when reading a book is fantastic.
Chicken meat is the culmination of scores of different types of cells arranged in a macroscopic arrangement that you cant easily reproduce without growing a whole chicken.
Is "vat" meat bad? No, but to claim that it will be no different than chicken is kinda misunderstanding its strengths, which is the ability to grow one type of cell en masse. As someone already stated, this technique would be great for ground beef, and horrible for steak.
you do understand that the smallest sample size able to produce a 95% failure rate is 20, right? Do you honestly think that he had 19 out of 20 drives "from different batches in different servers..." fail? because the answer is no.
You dont support both because Chrome is trying to be a 0 configuration browser. A chrome browser is a chrome browser, plain and simple. Its a platform for other things, and platforms need to be as uniform as they can be.
TBH i agree. Tabs are better on top so i can throw my mouse to the top of the screen fast, then come down just a bit to switch tabs. The only argument is that the "options" menu isnt based per tab, its a global action, so maybe that shouldnt be "under" each tab, but that is a technicality at best.
bluushit. The address bar is where you are, it is what you are looking at. People rarely use it to go anywhere, as in one page to another, but they do glance at it to see where they are. If people want to go to new place, 99% of the time they are opening a new tab or clicking a bookmark, not typing over the current address.
Please. Go to a general practitioner, get an xray for your foot, maybe a cast. It will cost about 100-200 bucks with no insurance help at all. I recently did this exact thing when i dislocated my shoulder.

Some would argue that the last terrorist attack cost the US several trillion, so paying the military to prevent them is a net savings. Are there better things to spend money on? Sure. Is military spending "not constructive"? No, not really. Can the military do its job with less money? Sure. Will cutting the military in half, an spending that money on infrastructure really do anything to solve the financial problems in the US? no.
Reality check: to cut spending by any significant amount, that is ta say, by the amount required to actually balance the budget, will not happen. period. Reality check #2: You cant increase taxes enough to cover a debt that surpasses the GDP. Ask Greece.
Its been 4 years since the first Kindle, and there is nothing to suggest that their DRM format is going away anytime soon.
1)Get the free Calibre to remove amazon DRM, it also is a great ebook manager / backup. Seriously. You are whining for the sake of it. The Kindle reads most formats, DRM or not, books you buy can be de-drmed with ease, and you dont have to use the amazon store.
If you honestly want an ebook reader, DRM is not a good reason not to have one.
If you are thinking longer term, 70+ years, and in the medical field especially, you are talking databases, and the upkeep of such are continual, not the "oh no, my word macros dont work quite right"
I hear you, but i guess what it comes down to mainly is that fact that you shouldnt choose a editor today because of predictions set for 30 years from now. Sure, chose a format that balances future accessibility with immediate usability, but dont overestimate how easy format conversions are, both now and in the future. This is a document control issue. . . do we store things in pdf, doc, docx, oo, txt or whatever, but the point is fairly moot, because 1) We dont know anything about what will be using in 30 years, 2) there is a decent chance that whatever it is will have support for a variety of standards, even those that are out of date 3) Long before MS crumbles we will know it, and long after their software will still be able to change formats of documents. 4) the copy of LO will hopefully still be around and accessible, sure, but then again, so will the copy of office 2010.
My bets are that the copy of office 2010 will be easier to get running in 30 years, if needed, than LO once you consider things like java versions and such. Hopefully (probably) they both will be easyish to get running, or emulating, just like win 3.1 is now.
I guess my point is that 30 year forecasts arent that useful or important. For important stuff, it is saved, converted to the newest format every decade or so, then saved again. But if you are going to make the forecast, at least give credit to the company that bends over backwards to maintain compatibility.

If they were smart they would put 3-4 floors above ground to help with this problem, as well as not wasting the space above ground level.

idiot. microsoft pays dividends.

To be fair, daily meat is probably too expensive for most of the worlds population now.

you mean the extra 2 zeros?

If you think that cutting the military in half will solve the long term economic problems you have a big surprise coming.
