    Not to mention that 2.5" 1TB drives now actually fit in most laptops due to using only 2 platters instead of the 3 they had last year. 3 platter 2.5" drives are just too tall for those tiny spaces!

  5. Re:Misleading Summary on Researchers Find Crippling Flaws In Global GPS · · Score: 1

    All consumer GPS can do is get the date, and current position. They use other sensors and/or multiple readings to get your heading and speed. This information is then fed into mapping software that is already on the device that may or may not rely on more data off the internet. I'm unsure of what military features they may have aside from getting better fixes on your location, but clinton removed some/all consumer restrictions on fix resolution in the 1990s.

    Just 3 off the top of my head that are actively working against the interests of the republicrats. Only *YOU* can stop voting for the same old crap, and choose something different.

    Volume is a huge deal if you are loosing money on each item. If you're losing 5 for each unit you ship but only ship 1000, you lost $50. If you are losing 5 for each unit and you ship 100,000,000, you lost $5,000,000. That is pretty significant.

    In what sense isn't Mac App Store a walled garden? It's moderated, and they force a sandbox on apps now.

    In the sense that the walled garden has a gate (keeper) that allows you to download any app from any other source and still run that. You can't do that on the interface formerly known as metro, though you can still run classic windows apps sourced from anywhere on the Windows 8 desktop (but not on the Windows RT classic desktop).

    On your phone you are more or less just going to check your email, and browse a few pages. On your PC or Laptop, you will be doing hours of browsing and watching movies, and other activities.

    Look, I love my Macbook, but I choose to run VirtualBox with Windows 7 and Ubuntu because I feel that while it does a great job of some things, it's poor at best at other things in comparison to other OSs.

    You ser are a true computer enthusiast. You use the tools that get the job done rather than bickering that your vice grip doesn't work as a socket wrench. If I had mod points, I would spend them all on you just for this quote right here. (My other space has VMWare with CentOS and Windows 7 running so that I have the tools that let me get my job done, regardless of what OS those tools were meant for in the first place.)

    Hulu was never independent. Look up who their FOUNDERS are.

    Hulu is a joint venture of NBCUniversal (Comcast/General Electric),[5] Fox Entertainment Group (News Corp) and Disney-ABC Television Group (The Walt Disney Company),[6] with funding by Providence Equity Partners, the owner of Newport Television, which made a US$100 million equity investment and received a 10% stake.[7]

    It's shameful that they don't see this as a good thing. It's even more shameful that the status quo is to not require warrants in the first place.
