Let us suppose,just for a moment, that Concorde flew from New York to Los Angeles-- a route that they were forbidden from due to hysteria over noise. The implication of your comment is that Concorde could easily avoid disturbing the populace between New York and Los Angeles by limiting its flight path to the oceans between New York and Los Angeles-- which do not exit, despite the efforts of Francisco de Ulloa
Windows 8 takes 40% less time than Windows 7 to render 64images (4.38 seconds vs. 7.28 seconds)
They don't mention the image size-- my 10 megapixel camera generates 1.3 MB jpegs and 15 MB raws. Maybe 85 MB of data? from an SSD? Would it really take as long as 7.28 seconds to display 85 MB of jpegs?
Suppose you've just downloaded a couple of hundred images from your camera-- Wouldn't it be nice if you could quickly scroll through the images and decide which ones are worth keeping, and which are not? Or perhaps you've photographed some library books, page by page, and it occurs to you that one particular article is more immediately useful, and you don't remember if that's IMG_209--IMG_215, or IMG312-IMG_334. If Windows renders the images quickly enough, it's very simple to flip through the images. If not, you'll be waiting for the images to load.
Maybe it's a pdf from archive.org that needs thumbing through.
Apple's iHear device will be smaller, lighter, more comfortable, less expensive and way cooler than your $7000 hearing aid. Either that, or it's a set of defensive patents designed to clear the patent minefield for the new Siri.
my dear sir, i do believe that qualifies as a cliche. Congratulations, you've take the fisrt step into a smaller world. I find your ideas interesting, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. Most cordially, 2054
Much as the 4th Amendment (a law) prevents the government from turning your house into a barracks
No. The fourth amendment only guarantees just compensation, in the event that government seizes your home for use as a barracks. It does not actually prohibit the government from moving soldiers into your home.

You could hear concorde's shockwave from 60 miles. Given that concorde traveled at 53,000 ft (ten miles), well you do the math.

Comments have context.
But the Concorde doen't travel at "normal cruising speed". That's for proles. It travels at Mach 2.04.
4.3 million people controlling the fate of 307 million others? Par for the course.
And buyers think the same thing.
Would it be possible to print a "selectable fire" receiver, in the event of the 1934 firearms act suddenly becoming unenforceable?
So, if the barrel shroud and forward grip are purely cosmetic, why are they so popular?
The Overwhelmingly Large Telescope. Alas, it was canceled.
(a diameter of 80 meters theoretically would halve allowed spectroscopic examination of earth sized planets 15 light years distant)
Unless you're in an unusually dense star cluster, sooner or later, you're going to run out of mass.
Oops. I underestimated. My best, outdoor shots are about 3.5MB.

Details, Details!
Maybe you should spring for the extra Flash.
So get an inexpensive cell plan with a 32GB cap. Problem solved.

Yes. For one thing, the iPad costs a small fraction of what a bulkier, cruder, and heavier "medical" device would cost.
Layer cakes are next.

The governments who indulge in that sort of thing rarely speak of "victims", for that would encourage compassion and sympathy.
my evil plans are too complex to fit in 140 characters. The lambs can be so very naive.
Unfortunately, the law doesn't evolve. Larceny has different moral implications than tresspass, and the law should reflect that.
The most primitive DDR memory (PC-1600, 1.6 GB/s) is more than twice as fast as USB 3.0 (625 GB/s). USB 3.0 is closest to PC-66 (533 GB/s).
Amen to that-- no edits without version control.

The second link is to "World Net Daily", a site that has about as much credibility as the John Birch Society.
