yea thats fine but the article and summary both site that they are banning it from all of Europe, which last time I checked was not just Germany, nor do they have any say so in other countries.
So what if they ban it, Samsung just wont be making their tablets there, and its their foolish loss, but at the end of the day Germany cant tell other countries what they can and can not do nor where they can and can not buy their products.
on the other hand where I live they send flyers out to get you to come into doctor X's office cause there is a over abundence of them and their offices are empty. In fact the last doctor I went to for an insurance physical was super happy to have me as their last patient before the closed the doors the next day.
Much like computer shops in the late 90's you cant go 3 feet before tripping on one and frankly there is just not that much demand.
I don't buy games much anymore, and even when I was a game junkie I knew better. Most average people will walk in the shop and plunk down however much for the newest and greatest thing, cause the TV told them to.
I actually spend a lot of time deciding on what games I will buy, as a kid it was murder nickel and diming my way up to 50-60 bucks and there was no way in hell I was going to waste that months on end earnings for doing crap jobs on something like freaking bevis and butthead the (almost completely broken) game.
My parents thought me to be a smart shopper, and the value of a buck, and honestly I dont complain about the games I own. I knew what I was getting into and what I was to expect before ever walking into the shop and I stand by my choices.
its funny when I had cingular it would work fucking anywhere? 45 miles out past electricity in flavor country? 4 bars! changed to ATT zero bars in at my work in the middle of the city waiting on a new tower they scheduled for 2009... still waiting...
its funny if I really really want to check for text messages I rubber band it to a broom handle and wave it around in the air, this nets me 1 or 2 bars long enough to get an SMS. Needless to say we switched and while Verizon is not perfect in coverage and ass pounding hard on prices, I dont have to rubber band a fucking phone and wave it around like the flag brigade at a high school football games to get a SMS
depends on where you live, California? New York? maybe not. 1.5 hours left of Louisville? A decent job might only net you 2 grand a month before taxes.
The states are totally uneven when it comes to average income, so you have to average the averages which nets you numbers like this
4. windows does not always wake up, vista and 7 will try to recover the first few reboots then freak out. your steam account thinks its installed on a new machine
5. post bios windows 7 only takes a few seconds to boot anyway, use msconfig if otherwise, you do not need 178 updaters running 24/7
the joke is CS is never up to date cause the guy teaching it has been stuck behind the same unix terminal for the last 30 years and has no effin clue what is out there while dismissing it as "consumer"
I never competed against students, infact that is a stupid fucking idea, students are mostly desk droolers destined for mcdonalds, why should an honer student even waste their time competing with johnny stoner? what do they have issues for not polishing off a bag of cheese puffs and beting gears of war on hard?
it does not bother me but if your going to start off with "The obvious competitors to this device" you might want to use obvious competitors, fine the arduino is an obvious competitor to a PC with hdmi and an GPU just like a NES and a crystal radio are competitors to the new bulldozers coming out
boggling
As I just stated the obvious competitors to this device are other micro pc's that are already on the market and have been doing ok enough despite their relatively high cost and closed arch
but hey if you want to wait for linux to boot before twiddling a led on a 25$ breakout board over a 3$ 8 pin chip, knock yourself out, its not like your designing anything worth a shit if you cant even decide on an appropriate architecture.
well then a PC is an arduino competitor then, I can program it and use a printer port as GPIO, and no it does not make sense to buy a PI in all cases, get a 3$ arduino compatible chip (most avr's are) and maybe it will run for 3 months off a watch battery, impossible for the PI its 2 different applications
its fine if you want to think that "um durh chip on board - pretty box = arduino something" but its not the case, I would not use a quad core as a dedicated button handler nor would I use an arduino as a computing platform.
The obvious competitors to this platform are the already non open plug computers and thin clients which is exactly what the PI is
arduino is not a competitor to this device, yea ok they are chips on boards, yea ok you program them, but they are worlds apart. are you going to run debian on an avr? is an arm really the best choice to twiddle a led? All three have their applications, its up to you to make the best choice for your design and not just grab any ol board you can find for everything
of course there is a way, (just stick 5v where the output of the regulator is and ignore the regulator) its weather they will break it out to be easy or if we're going to have to break out the 30 gauge and soldering iron
I must be running the wrong VM, whenever I run an OS in vm ware its noticeably slower than real metal, Its perfectly useable but its no faster than the PC I had 2 PC's ago
people who want embedded systems and dont feel like taking a mortgage out on their house to get some shit closed source compiler on a 80Mhz TI board that cost more than a dual core desktop

Its really that simple.

Germany, you do not have jurisdiction over the entire EU, k thanks.
"it has banned Samsung Germany from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 anywhere in Europe."

technically yes it does, the led back lighting is UV exciting phosphorus to make white light, not 100% of it is converted
how good are you at soldering BGA's?
the joke is CS is never up to date cause the guy teaching it has been stuck behind the same unix terminal for the last 30 years and has no effin clue what is out there while dismissing it as "consumer"
oh I just got the joke (wooosh)
yea I can make 4x that much no problem anywhere in the country, problem is I cant do that 8 hours a day 5 days a week
240 bucks a week if I bust ass is nothing to brag about ... its just a little extra cash for savings
lol at my last job I got a phone call to schedule an interview with myself from a company I submitted a resume to 3 years prior

lol yea sure you do
just add nuclear waste

yes there are millions of people with gps applications in their pocket, glad someone found something useful for it

when did these things go from simple 3 letter extensions to full words. and whats going to happen in the future? will we see

what the fuck are you talking about???
I own 2 tv's did not pay a fucking dime for them 0 250 dumbass
and its 2011 fuckwit you can find a keyboard in your grocery store
oh yea this little arm chip which would kick a desktop pc from less than 10 years ago right in the balls only uses what 2 watts of juice?
god your stupid
