No, but it does have one USB port so you can plug in a USB harddrive or thumbdrive. I understand that some people have connected up to 1TB drives to their S3100.
I have the BDP-S390, which is the previous model, and usually copy videos to a thumbdrive for viewing.
It's also DLNA compatible so you can use any DLNA server on your network to stream pictures, music or videos. Sony has a free DLNA server called HomeStream, which is based on the popular Serviio DLNA server.
One problem is that Sony players are not compatible with all combinations of video file and codec formats. Most of my videos play fine on my S390, a few don't. I don't care enough to figure out why.
I think a PS3 slim is a better console alternative if you want Netflix.
Sony also makes some Blu-Ray players like the BDP-S3100 which is cheaper than a used PS3, but plays Blu-Ray discs (obviously) and streams Netflix (along with all the other on-line streaming services that PS3 handles).
If Java API's are copyrightable, does this mean that Oracle has a copyright interest in every program ever written that uses those APIs?
Oracle's purpose in claiming the copyright on the Java API is not to claim derivative copyright interest on programs written in Java. Well, maybe later.
Oracle's purpose is to collect license fees from anyone who uses the Java APIs.
And since Android uses the Java APIs, that includes Google and all Android developers.
Where are the pictures of them dropping and leaving the backpacks in the exact spots the explosions took place?
They mentioned that on one newscast. They suggested that the FBI didn't want potental witnesses to get confused by what they saw personally and what they saw on TV.
Imagine at trial months from now, the defense attorney cross examining a witness, "Now Mr/Ms So-and-so, are you certain you personally saw my client place his backpack at the scene of the explosion or are you just remembering the video the FBI distributed after the incident?"
h) If you're not boycotting Sony, consider getting a Sony BDP-SP390 which streams Netflix, Hulu+, Amazon and plays Blu-ray Discs for a little more than a Roku.
However your statement that "The greatest enemy to capitalism are the capitalists... If you want to keep capitalism healthy simply make sure there are plenty of capitalists" appears to contain a contradiction. Were you being sardonic?
I think his point is that capitalists will always work to restrict competitors from entering the market, often by encouraging more government regulations to increase barriers to market entry. Hence, "the greatest enemy to capitalism are capitalists.".
Therefore the perhaps not obvious way to reduce this tendency is by encouraging more capitalists, thereby reducing the power of individual capitalists.
Did you notice the scale of that spill? Not even 2 miles long. Not fun, but living beneath a dam of any kind and is certainly a planned activity. Evacuating 100 sq miles is not.
And yet even less than 2 miles long the spill caused significantly more damage than TMI, the worst disaster at a commercial nuclear plant in the US.
So I was both elated and disappointed at the news that things seemed to be working as expected but that they were going to spend a couple more years doing engineering and science with WB-8.
On the bright side, in today's economy, maybe it's better for the Navy to scape together $5M and limp along than fund the full $200M and risk being cut out of the budget altogether.
Moreover, the basic principles of the Polywell are established. Maybe we'll hear about the first working full-scale prototype out of China or India or even Iran!
As of August 15, 2012, the Navy had agreed to fund EMC2 with an additional $5.3 million over 2 years to work on the problem of pumping electrons into the whiffleball. They plan to integrate a pulsed power supply to support the electron guns (100+A, 10kV). WB-8 has been operating at 0.8 Tesla. The review of the work produced the recommendations to continue and expand the effort, stating: "The experimental results to date were consistent with the underlying theoretical framework of the Polywell fusion concept and, in the opinion of the committee, merited continuation and expansion."

Why the explicit blame on "private security contractors"? Why not fire any private company who is not doing their job and find one that can/will?
Then you gotta go through the whole bidding rigamarole again, train a whole new bunch of contractors and you don't know if they'll be any better than the ones you fired!
On the other hand, you've already got "trained" contractors working and on site (for a limited definition of "trained"). If you warn or punish the current security company, fire the incompetent guards, hire new, supposedly competent replacements, lather, rinse, repeat, you might end up with a competent security force.
2. Hypersonic travel becomes practical and you can fly anywhere in the world in ~5 hours.
To make hypersonic travel practical, they have to make passenger-mile per gallon-of-fuel close to present day passenger airliners.
That's why supersonic airliners like the Concorde really failed. The Concorde was never economical compared to its subsonic competition and had to rely on government subsidies. The crash of flight 4590 was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
Hypersonic engines either have to be more efficient than the supersonic engines on the Concorde and carry the same number of passengers (unlikely) or the airplane must carry more passengers than the Concorde to make up for its inefficiency (also unlikely).
Having said all that, there may be niche markets for small hypersonic business jets or small cargo planes (FedEx's new slogan, "When it absolutely, positively has to be halfway around the world... TODAY!").
I'm a developer who has wanted to break away from enterprise in this sort of game dev, I would throw money at this product to give it a chance had it not been for all the strange things about it.
You know you could just learn Android and Android game programming and not worry about the Ouya.
The developer's tools are free and there are tons of tutorials on the web and YouTube.
And it's not like there aren't a few hundred brands of Android smartphones, tablets and, yes, even media boxes.
The F1 was designed on blackboards and drafting tables. A "modern" F1 is only going to be similar in size - it'd have to be a clean sheet design, the facilities that built the F1 are long gone at this point. Why even study redesigning the F1? This seems like a tremendous waste. Of course it's going to be a clean sheet, computer drafted design.
Some designs stand the test of time.

Actually a coal plant blowing up is not the worst thing that could happen.
The worst thing that could happen is a coal fly ash slurry spill such as happened at the TVA Kingston Fossil Plant on December 22, 2008.
Coal fly ash is nasty stuff and, depending on where the coal was mined, slightly radioactive and/or contaminated with heavy metals.
And, as far as I can tell, once it's remove from the coal plant exhaust, not regulated by the EPA.

Apple wasn't ordered to tell Samsung all of the company's HTC secrets (i.e., the HTC settlement agreement).
They were ordered to hand the HTC settlement agreement over to Samsung's lawyers only (i.e., "Highly Confidential - Attorneys' Eyes Only").
There's a difference.

You don't seem willing to cutback your power consumption during a power outage, but you are willing to sit around in the dark and twiddle your thumbs.
Here's a wild idea I'll just throw out.
Don't use the microwave, kettle, washing machine, electric oven, flatscreen TV, tumble dryer and PC at the same time when you're running your generator.
Crazy I know, but it might work.
It has a pressurized ink cartridge like a space pen, but it's much cheaper and because it has a rubberized grip, it's much easier to hold.
It comes in 0.7 and 1.0 mm line widths and variety of ink colors. The line width isn't as fine as you might like, but then neither is the space pen.
