You need to appreciate just what it means to *average* a certain speed. Think about any time you drive slower, and think about what it takes to compensate. For every hour he spends in stop-and-go, he'll need to drive an hour almost twice the average to make up. Now tell me how many places in the US you can go 180mph?
- the screen is readable in daylight - the battery lasts 24 hours in "ebook reading" mode (they power the framebuffer only, while suspending the main board)
Is there another product on the market that does this? If you reply "paper" I will smack you with a fish!:)
The other neat point is, it hasn't even been designed for first-world grownups to read on the beach.
Why the heck is so special about these... "O-rings..." that they always come up with rocket engines? It sounds like a simple gasket, isn't there something else more fragile?
Wait, paid for by telcos, or laid without having been granted a monopoly? In the latter case, I don't see why cable cos can't do the same and eat their lunch.
It's not that surprising, the DSL/FIOS competition is a fake competition anyway. The real competition is between parallel infrastructures, and those are the cable and phone ones.
I don't think you understand the point of the BSD license. It's designed intentionally to let the commercial entities use code this way. The idea is that some big government sponsored project, such as the thing at Berkeley, will produce useful code that can then be transferred to the industry and still help any companies that form. The taxpayers get everything no strings attached. I guess this was a nice idea when the US was the only country with Internet, but now virtually everyone has access so it doesn't really make the domestic companies more competitive.
They should still ask people for a CC and bill them 0.0. That way at least the billing hassle is equal between the zero/non-zero cost alternatives. This hassle is really why many people pirate MP3s, it's too damn hard to deal with DRM billing proprietariness etc etc.
that a user at the root of the Linux tree exit out of a jail? The police are trying to locate a man that might be trying to cut his beard. Hopefully they will find him.
Hear, hear. If Feynman pulled the kind of shit today that he did during WW2 in Los Alamos, his ass would be in Guantanamo by now. What happened to the greatness of the WWII generation? Do we need a war to wake people up?

Dude, a sea of methane? You can't bbq there, the moon would explode!
I noticed that I always catch a fish minutes after my buddy arrives!

Where do we see evidence spam was sent to the wrong person?
Dude, it's pretty clear-- imagine telling Tony Soprano his dick is small! You would be lucky to get off with a quick shooting.
I was going to call you on that last apostrophe but by gosh you used it properly. You learn something every day.
I dare you to mod the thread down now :)
It's been said already, but let me also add:

Using the estimated rates, scientists projected evolution to have started about 6,000 years ago. ;)
You mean they weren't??????? :'(

Uh, do you remember the passwords for those accounts and would you be willing to share :)
Still too hard to understand. Do you have anything about tanks that are hard to drive?

it's still there, they just renamed it "Perl Contest" ;)

Harmless unless you have a specific type of DNA, in which case the bacteria cause a heart attack ;)

So where's the next geek haven? Canada? China? Taiwan? Japan?
