Ok this is unfortunately a fantasy and not something you should do in this bullshit legalistic world we live in today.
Stupid bullshit legalistic world, in which you can't assault people without fearing some bs trumped up lawsuit. What we need is tort reform! Less money going to all the lawyers, and more money to the guy who sells the billy clubs and socks-full-of-batteries.
what ipod touch are you using? I have a second generation model from ~2008 or 2009, and it upgraded to ios5 no problem. As for apps, I've read a couple cases of malicous updates, but generally speaking the apps that do that are spanked in the press / blogosphere. what apps have you had a problem with in this regard?
snort. [citation needed]. I seriously question the validity of any claim about donations to charities. Especially considering that SABU admitted to embezzling $200k for himself.
I don't understand what the point of this is. One wire is cool. But I would probably choose a por cable and wireless Internet before I chose poe but now power cable. Common sense.
They must have a clinical definition of "planning" that is more precise than we normally think of animals. Cuz I can tell you that my dog used to plan ahead. He was devious! Maybe this has to do with the time scale - she would usually make 5 minute plans, rather than 2 hours or whatever the monkey's time scale is.
I agree mostly with you. Yu're right, they can directly mitigate their own emissions when possible, and buy renewable energy credits to cover the rest. RECs aren't hand waving. It's an established system for optimizing and maximizing green hous gas reductions across the economy.
ALSO: If the internet and downloading is so evil, why are RIAA and MPAA affiliated companies making money than ever before? They should be going broke but in reality they are getting rich.

Ok, let's crowd source this, if you're reading this, are in the US, and downloaded a pirated advance copy, please respond: did you also buy a ticket for opening weekend? Did you choose to buy a ticket BECAUSSE of the download? Wild you have been likely to buy a ticket, but did not due to the download? This would be a good slashdot poll.
Well, according to the article, and the summary too, actually, about 0.5%, maximum.
Are you accusing me of not RTFS? Do you know how hard it is, when you go to the slashdot page and see a new article with a red banner, to actually get fp? Especially when you want to say something insightful, not just FP MOFOS! In these cases, I RTFS for sure, however it's Read The First Sentence.:)
The summary is asking the wrong question. It's not whether piracy prevents blockbusters. It's how much does piracy reduce the box office receipts of new releases. Maybe avengers would have made $5 million more without piracy, or $20 million more, or 25 cents more. I have no idea. But let's at least ask the right questions. I'd appreciate anybody's thoughts on how much the piracy cost.
All,
Please invest in my kick starter project to determine when the kick starter bubble will burst. There is no timeline and no deliverables. Budget is $10 million. First 100 people to invest get an autographed copy of the report. Thanks.
Cfls already get 50-70 lumens per watt, so I don't see why I should get out of my seat for a $60 led at does the same. Kind of a straw man to compare them to incandescents, when obviously the most relevant comparison is against fluorescents.
IMHO, the best use of LEDs is as a built in light source for particular uses. If you're putting a bulb in a socket anyways, then there's no benefit over cfls.
how the fuck was the jury was supposed to decided this?
I don't know how the jury was supposed to decided it. maybe they could go back in time to see what they decided, and they could use that info to help them decide.
An AppleScript / Automator script can step through files on a hd, open them, and catch a thrown error if the open fails. Tis sits a good automated way to glad the bad ones. Not the fastest method, but it could run at night.
you seem to be surprisingly ok with the fact that your computer crashed and all your documents and media were corrupted, as was your backup. I would have been beside myself. Hulk smash! Please let us know what different set ups you're exploring to avoid this.
Same with the tablet, Microsoft and others envisioned it years before the iPad, however it wasnt until the iPad that it became a good product people wanted to buy.
if you read the steve jobs bio, you'll see that apple was working on a tablet for 10 years before the ipad came out. hey were creating at the same time as others, they just didn't release crap and held off until they got it right.
or if we removed a juror to make the pool have an odd number, and the juror we removed happened to be the one that was holding out... then the issue would be solved.
stupid browser privacy scheme that does nothing to protect users from the real bad guys
since google was the one hacking cookies into the browser, i'd say goog qualifies as the "real bad guys" in this case.
Just a way to fix web pages for a browser that's not standards compliant
Are you implying that Safari's default privacy settings somehow violate a web standard? Which one, please? And that goog had to circumvent it in order to make the browser standards compliant?

It's really hard, considering there are no wallpaper apps on iPhone.

which they then gave to charities.

Wow autocorrect fail. Sent Fromm my iPad.

That's why everybody loves captain sully sullenberger. Dude landed his craft, so they couldn't pin pilot error on him.

don't hate the players; hate the game.
that's not an issue. this is really more like an ipad2.1 - incremental upgrade. that sort of thing happens in tech.
