And this is better than the totally bulletproof HP LJ4 how exactly?
I know I'll be able to get replacement parts for an LJ4 until shortly after the sun cools. (not to mention cool secondhand goodies like extra paper trays or even a duplexing unit!) The same is not true for the Samsung.
I don't understand why what Apple is "aiming at" makes any difference to me at all. Either the product suits my needs, or it doesn't. Either I buy it, or I don't. Marketroids' predictions about what I am likely to spend my money on based on my age, gender, and income are spectacularly useless to me.
I also have no use for the picturePod. So I won't buy one. That doesn't mean that I don't think it's a good design: I just don't need it.
And, if you think about it, as long as you accelerate for exactly half (or less) of your trip, you've got enough motor to decelerate yourself. So, yes, it does take a "tremendous amount of energy", but so does accelerating.
Nuclear subs can remain submerged almost indefinitely. They are also quieter than diesel subs (although diesel boats are very, very quiet when running on batteries, they're very, very noisy when running on their engines)
Logistics is a lot easier when you don't need to fuel the boat...just its crew.
I bet there is an entire profession in the poker world who does nothing but take money away from people who have been playing poker for four months with their friends and now thinks they're pretty good.
I'm not in that scene, mind you...but it seems like a pretty silly thing to think you can master the intricasies of poker in four months.
Er, I guess since they're entering into a clearly worded written contract, they're free to do that, aren't they? And since the program is for "developers", one might guess that said developers are exchanging money for a competitive advantage over other developers, huh?
Yeah, we need to put a stop to this right away. Not.

I like to take them out into a field and beat them to pieces with a bat.
Damn, it feels good to be a gangster.

The data contradict your assertion.
MS is losing marketshare to Firefox. This is undeniable.
What is a "slashdotter"?
/., but I own an iPod. It's almost like people around here don't have congruent opinions or something...
I mean, I post to
How's the UI? Has it improved since the last Archos I saw that's currently being used as a doorstop?
Archos was one of the first to market, and they totally failed to make a dent.
No, "ahead of their competitors" means "actually works as advertised" instead of "included in buzzword-compliant marketing blurb".
Which players are you talking about? Please say Archos, so I can get a good laugh.
I bought my iPod because it works better, not because somebody thinks it's cool.
Style and good design are not the same thing. Style changes every week. Good design is timeless.
You're pretty well spot on.
Wanna see my degree? : ) It's only a BS, but I do in fact hold a degree in aerospace engineering. I am, in fact, a rocket scientist.
Depends on your motor.

How about a nice subduction zone?
Yeah, you're right. I sure would rather have a bunch of drugs like Viagra rather than immunizations for HIV.
Yay market-driven research!
If you don't think an Isp of 900 seconds is a pretty big deal for space travel, you don't understand the problem.
You mean computers are still bad at solving problems that humans are good at solving?
Wow. Stop the presses, or something.
Seems to me like the only logical course of action would be to de-centralize power.
Getting rid of USA-PATRIOT would be an excellent start.
Read about the Beech Starship, and realize how a brilliant design does not always lend itself to mass production.
Get back to me when they launch something bigger than a medium sized garbage can. Or a man-rated ship.
Orbital does great work, but they are NOT launching big payloads.

Repeat after me:
Mail in rebates are a scam.

It's never not true.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
I'd say the Democrats' full-court press to keep Nader off of all the ballots they can shows the same intent, if not the same effect.
Both parties want to distort the Will of the People in their own favor. That's why we shouldn't let the parties run elections.
Why would the parties do that, when they can attempt to gerrymander the count to favor them?
What, you want honesty and accountability in your election system? Then you need to stop letting it be run by the Republicrats.
Why do I care about what Joe Public cares about?
For one thing, I've never met the guy. For another thing, his opinion does not inform mine.
