2TB seems pretty pitiful for pro equipment, and 500MB/s is a complete waste for consumers.
SD(SDXC) currently maxes out at 2TB, but the first cards using the current spec shipped a year and a half ago. They can only do 104MB/sec, but it takes less than 5.5 hours to completely fill up 2TB at that speed.
Moved to NYC from a town in Tennessee of 62K people... The air seems to be cleaner in NYC for the most part. While cities can be bad, when people don't give a shit, it's worse.
One big reason for the lack of DisplayPort on TVs is that you don't need DisplayPort for 1080p. If you want to go past 1920x1200, you either have to use the dual-link-DVI stuff(also not on any TV) or DisplayPort.
DisplayPort outputs always have a "DVI mode" where you just have to level shift the signal to HDMI/single-link-DVI.
Well, This move just puts OSX in the same place as every other OS. Installers for Java programs have to first check that Java is installed and either tell the user to install a JVM, or do it itself. There are installer packagers that do this for other OSes.
10.7 may not include a JVM by default, but almost certainly will. Any real changes to the way things function with Java on OSX are probably years out.
I'm hoping the same as Python and all the other UNIX-ish stuff. They are ditching their custom version(which isn't all the custom anymore), but will hopefully still include a JVM.
Not including a JVM would be a pain in the ass for Java developers, but they might not want to encourage Java-based Mac apps...
Yep, Apple's Java updates remind me of running Debian-stable... Usable, but missing the new shiny stuff I want. Apple's current JVM is nothing special(now that the JavaCocoa Bridge is removed), but at least not horribly out of date.
I do hope that Apple included an Oracle supplied version of the JVM with future versions of OSX...
I imagine this is more that Apple is moving away from Java as a way of making desktop apps and less that they are moving away from Java working on OSX. In 2005 Apple deprecated the Java Cocoa Bridge, which was probably a big reason they still maintained their own branch of the JVM ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoa_(API)#Implementations ).
I'm guessing Apple is now expecting Oracle to package versions of the JVM for OSX, which makes sense.
Sticking solar panels on things you put in your bag/pocket is dumb, but solar does work well. You can pretty easily carry 50W+ of solar cells, which is enough to run most any laptop (you still need a charging circuit and a small battery as a buffer). http://www.katerno.com/detail.php?s=92637
One place where solar panels should be, and aren't, is on hybrid cars. As far as I can tell, they aren't included mainly because of laws mandating that cars meet gas-type requirements(i.e. the US version of the Prius still ships with the EV Mode button torn out). You can get a Prius with solar panels, but they are ONLY used to power ventilation and never charge the batteries for the motor.
Big pile of fudge. USA is no longer manufactures the components, it assembles the final product, that is also 'manufacturing', but it really is not.
Possibly, but the rest of your post is completely unrelated to this point. I'd also argue this doesn't really matter, the money is in the final assembly phase of manufacturing, which is why we outsource the component level(we still design a lot of the components).
The proof is in this simple pudding: go to this site [tradingeconomics.com] and set the 'FROM DATE' to January 1992 and leave the 'TO DATE' as the current year.
Lost me... why do I care about how much the US imports? We are talking about exports. The fact that the US consumes MASSIVE amounts of everything is a separate issue.
The US still manufactures... a LOT. In dollar figures, we manufacture more than any other country and are still rising at about the rate of inflation, which isn't great, but not bad ( http://investing.curiouscatblog.net/2008/09/23/top-manufacturing-countries-in-2007/ ).
We have lost a TON of manufacturing jobs, but not manufacturing, and that is a huge difference. The US is losing highly labor intensive industries, but that's just going to happen when your poor aren't all that poor. We really need to get rid of more of the low paying jobs that can be automated away.
It seems more likely that he just deleted all his apps(which would take their data with them), but didn't restore/fully-blank the phone. If an app stores a login/password in the keychain, then it will still be their when you reinstall the application.
How much gas and money would be used by NOT plowing under leftover stuff in the field? Plowing under organic-mater enriches the soil and the collection and transportation of all this stuff would take a lot of energy.
The point I was (vaguely) alluding to is that you can't give people freedoms; they need to make their own freedom. Italy is a mess financially(possibly worse than Greece), human-rights wise, and racially. Italians don't seem to care or even want to fix their problems.
It's great when the US defends people that can't defend themselves, but they don't do it to give non-Americans more freedoms ( and I don't think they should ). Trying to credit the US military for fostering freedom and rights in other countries is dangerous; in reality, they both hurt and help.
This isn't going to be popular to point out, but citizens of each of the countries you mentioned has more freedom of speech and other rights as a direct result of people like William Lashua and the US military.
How so? I don't know much about Germany or Japan, but Italy ruthlessly censors media ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_Italy ). Italy has to be one of the most developed countries with the lowest amount of free speech.
Scottish salmon is from Scotland, Burgundy wine is from Burgundy. What is the fundamental difference?
The fundamental difference is that you aren't trying to mislead consumers. Burgundy is a well-known type of wine; most people don't really care where the type of wine got it's name.
Do we need to come up with new names for French Toast, English Breakfast tea, and Swedish Fish because names of places were misappropriated into common names? (I'd love to see the English stop the sale of tea it doesn't consider "English" to France)
BTW, from the article I gather that in America you don't actually get the real Fanta, but something which doesn't even contain orange juice.
Yes, it is VERY different here than in Europe, which is possibly why it's not popular in the USA. The non-juice version is sold in some other countries, like Mexico, where it is very popular.
Ok, so I was simplifying things... but there are ties between the German CocaCola Company and the Nazi party (i.e. helping fund the Nazi Olympics, advertising in Nazi magazines, and almost certainly using forced labor during WWII). The German CocaCola company didn't do anything worse than a lot of other companies during WWII, but it's hands aren't clean.

Yep, I agree, I think IE9 javascript just sucks.
It's not that they cheat, it's that ANY little thing can create HUGE performance problems for no good reason. Completely unusable.

Flash really only exists on Windows, Mac, and x86 Linux...
Flash is kinda-sorta on Android, the PS3, ARM Linux, and some Nokia phones, but that's very hit and miss.
Flash is a huge battery/cpu drain and there just isn't a good implementation except on desktop computers.

This seems silly... They are including the alpha channels as data in that image so you can't get the key from the image when printed on a shirt.
It would have been better to do a 80x80 image using 14bit values for an image rather than a 40x40 of 56bit values.
Probably what would be best is a 40x40 grid of things, with each thing having 7 8bit colors... TV "technical difficulties" screen has 7 big bars ( http://serialconsign.com/2008/02/technical-difficulties )

Wine names have never meant that the wine came from a specific region[outside of some European Countries].
But since the article is about Australia, it was implied.
BTW, from the article I gather that in America you don't actually get the real Fanta, but something which doesn't even contain orange juice.
Yes, it is VERY different here than in Europe, which is possibly why it's not popular in the USA. The non-juice version is sold in some other countries, like Mexico, where it is very popular.
It would be more fair to say
Fanta was created for Nazi Germany
