My brother had one that tried that dominant bullshit. I walked over and very calmly punched him in the jaw. Never had a lick of trouble from him again. Just everybody setting out the pecking order.
You're talking about different model years of the same product. That's evolution, not inspiration.
I'm not sure which you know less about, the English language or the VW Beetle. The new Beetle has nothing whatsoever to do with the old beyond overall shape and name. Similarly, the iPod connector has nothing to do with the SX-70 port other than overall shape.
For all of the sturm and drang on Slashdot regarding patents and how they impede progress, how could they have gone unmentioned in a discussion of the rotary engine?
Time will tell, but I think we can expect Google to actively support all of the platforms Chrome runs on, and to release full source code under a fairly permissive license.
Right, just like they did with Android Honeycomb (or Sugar Smacks or whatever the fuck 3.0 is).
Note that this isn't like the bailout, which were loans that were eventually repaid. This is a trillion dollars that are going to be launched into space, never to come back.
Oh, what bs. Certainly we'll get Tang 2.0.
(BTW, am I the only one who found that stuff vile?)
You obviously have a poor grasp of the English language. The 2011 New Beetle was inspired by the 1938 Type 1. But there is not a single part that carries over. You can't even force the engine of one into the other.
In Australia we speak British English (of course you know that because you actually read the wikipedia article you copy/pasted, didn't you).
You do understand your quaint local customs will be of scant interest to a US occupying force that will view extraneous usage of the letter 'u' as a clear sign that you are an insurgent?
Ah yes, one of those Sonys that played only ATRAC3 music. Which was neither wmv nor aac, which the earlier comment referred to. I had assumed the OP was attempting to refer to the iPod or the Zune (or some Plays For Sure thing).
I've always thought it odd that anyone would buy a kindle reader that can't read unencrypted.epub. It's like buying a media player that only plays.aac or.wmv and can't play.mp3. Hmm, remember those?
Not me. In fact, I don't think you'll find a record of a media player that played only.aac and not.mp3 files.
but anyone who invests hundreds of dollars in a new machine, and decides to go cheap on the memory deserves to have a shitty running machine. I don't care if it's an Apply fanboy,
Quite relevant for the apple folks, since extra RAM for them (preinstalled) is quite expensive-- can be ~10% of the price of the machine to upgrade the RAM. I think they charge $200 to upgrade to 8GB from 4.
Your number is correct, at least for the MacBook Pro I was looking at online this morning.
Well of COURSE they are basing it on English test scores. Those Cubanos down in Miami might use the same math, but they certainly aren't speaking English at home. And if some poor/ignorant whites and blacks get caught up while shitting on the immigrants, why should some retired shits in Coral Gables care? Just more cheap labour to keep the golf courses maintained.
We already have cops in high schools, given the principals the authority to ruin the lives of high school students on the slightest whimsy, and eroded (if not destroyed outright) any suspicion that these students nearing adulthood actually have any rights while ensuring the parents have no actual responsibility for their child's eventual success or failure.
At my High School they still require Seniors who are 18 years old to get their parents signature for things like report cards and for signing out of school.
And when I was 18 and they tried that, I told them they were full of crap. If one can buy smokes, enter into a legal contract, be tried as an adult, and drafted, I can sure as shit sign myself out of school.

Some animals are more equal than others.
Real men make enough money to pay the help to build the cabin.
Isn't it always the doctor that goes insane?
Well, that's the stereotype, anyway. (Among Antarctic winterovers, that is.)
Can you blame him? They locked him in his cabin while the Thing was running amok.

The phrase you are looking for is Waist to Hip Ratio.

Who is Desdemona in your little drama?
I may only be a few chemicals dancing around in my brain but that does not mean I should spend half my life satisfying every animal instinct I have.

If you aren't just a cheap bastard, then you wire your house.
What part of 'studio apartment' are you incapable of comprehending?
Wait. So first Pluto is a planet. Then it's a dwarf planet. Now it's either a telescope or a robot?!
Idiot. Everyone knows Pluto is a dog.

I bet RIM still have a few cards left up the sleeve.
Unfortunately for those who like RIM, the cards up their sleeves are the instruction cards for playing poker.
Banylon 5???! I think you just lost your right to be on Slashdot.
I think he meant Deep Space Nine
The Lost Saucer most likely.

Again, 'inspired by', not 'exactly the same as'. Your inability to understand the word 'inspire' as used here continues to amaze.
