Are you a troll? Because he doesn't fly 9.99 specials, I suspect every flight he has flown has indeed offered free drinks. Every flight I have ever flown has offered "free" food and drinks (free == included in price).
I use.Kids Place; it only allows apps that I allow to run to be run without a 4-digit PIN to unlock. You could load it with video & allow only the video player. Everything else is blocked.
So, all these comments (at least as of when I last reloaded the page) and noone asking how much to buy a couple bricks? I for one would love to buy a couple bricks to keep by my fireplace. If cheap enough, I'd even burn them sometimes, but if not, would be a fun conversation starter.
C'mon, any Hunkies reading this? Post a reply if you can score me some!
PS: I'm an American of Hungarian decent, not insult intended calling you a Hunky & even if I wasn't, if you were offended, you should lighten up:)
A $50 HDD is very small currently (and refurbished), so I'm going to throw that silly figure out & replace it with $100-150, a 2TB drive.
Family videos: Simple 1080p video (not 3D, not multiple angles, etc) is 16GB/hr (on my camera, YMMV). That's just over 100 hours on a 2TB drive. With kids (especially kids in plays/musicals!) this doesn't go as far as you might think.
DVD Collection: Figure 2GB/movie = over 1500 movies at low-def, but let's be realistic, this doesn't look great on a 50"+ TV. HD compressed movies are 10-20GB/movie (IME, YMMV) so we're down to 100 movies.
But wait! You said both on the same drive, so cut both figures in half. Oh, and for 2-3 times the price. Most of everything else you said was spot on, but your mistake was suggesting $50 was enough for storing a "life worth of fotos, videos and [movies]". There is no single HDD big enough for this task at current settings, much less when the industry takes its collective heads out of its collective *** and realizes 1080p isn't all that great - just better than what we had.
I do not use facebook (don't have an account) and have never not been able to access a webpage. I have some services for which I have an generic icon as my pic instead of a photo because it isn't tied into a fb account, but really, WTF cares?
To defend religion as a friend of and benefactor to scientific advances is akin to thanking colonial slavery for having a black president.
I can go along with that, without colonial slavery there would be far fewer blacks, lessening the odds of a black man ever being elected POTUS. Was that your point?
Almost every game I own is over a year old - some of us live outside our parent's basements & can't just spend our allowance money on games all the time.
Perhaps it is the "I don't go out of my way to keep track of the current presidential election" part that he finds unfortunate, at least when the typical American voter does it.

Maybe you just need to get out of (your parents') basement more often?

It's a pretty simple app, I suspect someone could write a kiosk app in a few hours.
I find it disappointing that "Ask Slashdot" questions can be solved in 30 seconds on Google.

WTF? I read about this yesterday on /.

Nah, we just need to find the ZPMs that the Ancients left scattered around the Pegasus galaxy ...

Turn in your geek card.
Can't port away from Google Voice ATM. Could port to Sprint & then away, they still offer 14-day (used to be 30) no charge cancellation.
Try using your iPhone in other countries & tell me. They are an international carrier.

Better you delete the files if you cannot remember the passkeys ... wtf have files you can't open?
Untrue, even murders can get out in 25 years or so, but contempt can be forever. Up to a judge to decide (good thing they are never corrupt ...)
I thought "Radio Edit" was taking out the naughty words ...
You do know we've been spending more than we have since (after) Clinton, right?
WTF idiot modded this a troll? Feel free to mod me a troll, but this was quite insightful!

Comcast? Every other cable company? At least I admit to being a shill :P

You getting them too?

Only if the carrier locked it / had the mfgr lock it. Mine was open when I got it (I never bothered to root it, but I can install anything).

Yep, and my clock that turns quickly backwards is a accurate 3 times a day. Facts outside of context are meaningless.

Oh, yay! Can I please learn your mad-SEO skills? Is one of the mistakes on your webpage spamming forums?
