I also have a 900a! Gotta rate it as one of my best purchases. Doesn't feel flimsy, has a great matte screen, nice size. XUbuntu works pretty good on it. If I were to replace it I'd go with an Acer Aspire One 756. Chromebook? More like Cripplebook.
That doesn't seem quite right. Like if I jump up and down enough, regularly, while flapping my arms, eventually things will work out and I'll fly? No, there are things missing there that time and repetition won't solve.
How many people would need to be living on Mars in order for human race to continue to survive after an extinction level event on Earth?
So there just wasn't any other way to get this stimulative effect besides the Apollo program? Manned spaceflight as a whole seems like a bust too me. Way too expensive for far too little gain. Probes (and robots) have done so much more and cost so much less. Someday maybe it will be more economical to send a man to Mars. Until then, why the rush?
Do you mean re-buy or re-install the apps? My android apps are buy once download on anything. The apps I bought on my G2 phone were good when I went to a 4G Slide, and also good on my Nexus 7.
Someone should mod you up. If the economy is so bad where are people getting the money to donate to this worthless stuff? (I include political donations in worthless stuff).
This is partly because of Samsung's stuff they stuck on top of vanilla android, right? I have an HTC phone and hate the Sense stuff. It would be great if this prompts phone manufacturer's to ditch their own UI "enhancements" for vanilla android, thus leaving any UI patent problems on Google's lap.
It strikes me that a lot of the apps I use (as opposed to mobile app versions of websites) are probably just holes that will eventually be filled by tablet manufacturers. Such as needing to download a file browser for my Nexus 7. How long before Google just includes one?
Maybe with games. Just myself, I'll download new interesting games that Amazon makes a free app for the day even though they may not have too many reviews. But for apps I don't install anything that doesn't have a ton of reviews and high ratings. Those apps are mostly from well established names (usually affiliated with a well established website). I'm skeptical that it's easier for someone new to break in than with PC apps.
I already did. The benefits that come with winning an election. It could be as simple as a person wanting Team A to win. Or it could be someone expecting a job or trying to keep a job. Or money that comes from some government contract.
Like I also said, many local elections are decided by only a few votes.
Yes, I did register to vote. Not sure how that matters when the little old lady has no idea I'm the person I said I was. Voter registration is public info.
As I said about crime, people commit crime all the time even when one would expect the penalties to deter them. People also often do things when they know they can get away with it. I'm pretty sure there was a study on cheating that made it's way here on Slashdot that showed that.
Having to verify an ID is a step from there being no verification at all. Are you saying the little old lady system is really the best we can do?
I don't understand your point about individual voter fraud. Local elections are often times won or lost by very small margins. What voter fraud usually is is meaningless. Fraud with absentee ballots is more easily detected because there is barely any way to detect in-person voter fraud. That laws perhaps do not sufficiently target one type of fraud is not reason to not target the other type of fraud.
Individuals have no reason to commit most crimes because of the penalties, and yet crimes are committed every day!
If you don't think it's trivial to commit fraud than I wonder if you've ever voted. When I vote, I march up to a little old lady who asks my street address. She finds my address on a list and then asks my name. I give her my name. She crosses me off a list and I get a ballot. I go mark my ballot and then go see another little old lady who asks the same questions as the first. I then get crossed off another list. Then I deposit my ballot in a machine. You see no way this system could possibly be exploited? Seriously?
There is a system here. An easily exploitable system. If we were talking a computer program, what would everyone here be saying? Lack of evidence that anyone has written an exploit is reason not to fix the system?
As we all know, when things are huge crimes no one commits those crimes because of the hugeness. And if caught! How is someone under current system, of no checks, supposed to be caught? Like I said, it's completely unenforceable unless the little old lady's spider sense tingles.
The benefits to voter fraud are the benefits of winning elections. There's lots of money, favors, and jobs to be dolled out. Or someone just might want to put a thumb on the scale for the party that represents their ideology.
BTW, I should mention that I don't necessarily agree with the solution to require IDs. But not liking the solution to a problem doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist.
What's the enforcement mechanism in the current system? At my polling place the bulwark against voter fraud is a little old lady. If her spidey sense tingles, well then.
I know that Ron Paul's strategy somewhat relied on a second round of balloting in which delegates could vote for him. Anyone have any clue what the storm means in this regard?
I used to think that, but lately it seems like Facebook has become what I used to use email for. I use Facebook to send messages to friends and also coordinate events with them. And my actual email is mostly spam.
By "kind" you mean customers? I bought and played KOTOR 1 and 2. I was looking forward to 3. I was not looking forward to playing KOTOR 3 as subscription based MMO. The lesson here is that they should have stuck with the good thing they had going.

I don't understand why Defense spending needs to be linked to GDP. Why is this some important metric?

So what happens if you get it in the eye?
I have trouble buying the tweet claiming credit. Retaliation for Stuxnet?

I'm enjoying my Nexus 7. I'm also one of those people that generally mocked the idea of tablets and held off for a long time.
Seriously. This has fail written all over it. You'd think they'd take a breather after the Touchpad. Like a 5-10 year breather.
I used to think that, but lately it seems like Facebook has become what I used to use email for. I use Facebook to send messages to friends and also coordinate events with them. And my actual email is mostly spam.
I'm thinking that after all the money they sank into this that KOTOR is dead.
By "kind" you mean customers? I bought and played KOTOR 1 and 2. I was looking forward to 3. I was not looking forward to playing KOTOR 3 as subscription based MMO. The lesson here is that they should have stuck with the good thing they had going.
