Excellent point. Bottom line is that publishers of (insert media choice here) need to make money. They deserve money for producing the products. This guy is doing it right. If someone can't afford (or doesn't want to) spend money on the book, they can download the PDF file. If you like it and prefer hardcopy, then purchasing the printed version is a great way to pay him for his work. Or the other way is the Donate button so you can give him at least a token of your appreciation for his work for the PDF version.
I agree, this movie didn't need the 3D effects. It stood on it's own merits like the story line, acting, and 2D effects. To me, 3D is for movies that they don't think they will sell well with 2D, so they figure they'll just throw in 3D and the masses will come.
The only reason I Jailbroke mine was that I couldn't hear the damn email tone. It's like they went into a meeting and figured out what was the only noise other than a dog whistle that people couldn't hear unless they were in a anechoic chamber.
Seriously, why the hell won't they let you pick the email tone???
You hit it right on the head. Facebook and Twitter are in my opinion, "toys" and are NOT for professional use. I have never "Twitted" or "Twatted" or whatever it's called. Hell, come to think of it, I don't have an account on either service and don't plan on it anytime soon.
What really doesn't make sense is that they don't allow you to downgrade. I upgraded to 3.1, now the damn thing locks up from 1 to 3 times a day. I have to do a hard reset to bring it back to life. Apple really screwed up on this update. I won't even mention the problems with voicemail for some people....
That is my BIGGEST gripe about the iphone. The damn thing has such crappy battery life, and then for all practical purposes, you can't swap out the battery in the middle of the day if for some reason you actually "used" the phone for any amount of time and have no battery left. Apple says it's to help save us from ourselves. That's like welding the gas cap shut on a car.
Why don't we go all out and take out the killing too? Just engineer cows that can regenerate damaged parts of them after we hack out the meat we want (that won't hurt when we hack it out because we've fixed that problem already). That way the cows can keep on living out their lives with no pain and no death by human hands.
I am amazed that in this day and age of bloated EVERYTHING, that someone would write a operating system WITH a GUI and be able to put it on a floppy. I didn't think anyone knew assembler anymore. I thought it died with ADA and FORTRAN.
It's a violation of FCC rules to use jamming devices. However, you can create a "faraday cage" in all the classrooms, using fine-meshed wire on windows and doors to prevent signals from getting in or out.
There might be very valid reasons why no one knows where he is, or why he doesn't return calls or emails. Maybe he's in the hospital, or maybe he had a family emergency. Let's just hope that everything is ok with him. Believe it or not, there are more important thing in life than computers.
My wife is going to be the Energy SuperHeroine. She has to pee about 20 times a day. She has a bathroom stall in WalMart reserved for her on the weekends.
Same here. I live in Texas and the solar panels would need to be able to survive being hit by baseball and larger size hail without damage. One thing that needs to be factored in is the cost of replacing the batteries ever 2 to 3 years. That's NOT cheap. One advantage is that you can pretty much go off the grid and laugh at your neighbors when there is a massive power outage. Now I don't know if that laughing is worth $38k, but it is peace of mind.

No, they were CD's that Jammie Thomas sent. RIAA found out they were aboard and brought the ship back.
This sounds like a Communist school.
This guy is the ultimate Apple fanboy.
It's only a flesh wound...
Next invention from them will be kitty litter that you never have to change.
Ok, here's my offer:
I'll pony up an Atari 2600 with a bunch of games and $95.26

How about a Tweeter for my crapper?

Kudos to these guys !

Looks a LOT like our B2 bomber

Hey mom, me an Billy are going swimming. we'll be back in about 12 years, ok?
I think that would be the best advice. This is nuts, is this China?
Why would we want to colonize our Moon? Wouldn't it make more sense to invest the money on Earth?
Yup, it was for Lunar Leisure Living, a colony on the moon.
