    In America, the company reserves the right to refuse service to anyone.

    "Gated community" is not a good thing.
    It's synonymous with an apartment.

    $1,100 every 2 weeks means $1,100 / 80 hours = $13.75/hr.

    There's a bit of a difference between $11/hr & $13.75/hr. like $2.75/hr difference...

    Yeah, you'll be able to bonk some trophy wife's daughter who's coming in for her iPhone.

    Teenage unemployment spurred up during the recession that has occurred since 2007 or so. You'll note nothing happened between then and now other than a global recession.

    Working at burger king is mindless work where you move items from one place to another and push a button.
    What's changed is that burger king is still that, but working at an Apple store is a touch above that since it's either computer work (genius bar) or customer service. (people on the floor)

    IDE died out too, but note it all happened in the future and not at the time of the product use.

    Frankly, you're trying to make it sound like Apple just takes what is out there and puts it into their shell.
    You've lost the entire picture, if that's what you think. If you look at what is sold by Apple, you'll realize it's not comparable to a $400 laptop any more than an $1,100 non-Apple laptop is comparable to a $400 laptop.

    Not everyone "camps out" in the line to get the iPad/iPhone when the new one comes out. Much like everyone doesn't "camp out" in a harry potter movie ticket line to see harry potter.

  9. Re:Nuking the Capital would destroy the government on Bryson Crash Reveals Threat of Headless Government · · Score: 1

    I know you're trolling, but I figure I'll answer so you don't make others start "wondering".

    A suitcase nuke is a nickname for a portable nuclear detonation device that can fit in your hands.

    Much like a notebook computer isn't the size of a notebook, and a gameboy isn't a boy.

    If there's one thing I've learned from school, that would be a school desk is the only thing that can protect you from a nuclear explosion... oddly, an earthquake, as well.

    Whether you call them Indians or not, you go anywhere official and they're called Indians. (I don't call them that, and I try and beat into people's heads that they're not from another country...)

    Good example... B.I.A. = bureau of Indian Affairs

    I think only companies like Microsoft are large enough financially to handle a battle with the RIAA, since the backers of RIAA are multiple recording studios.

    You'll have to excuse the GP, he has a little "my shit is all that's needed" syndrome.
    He doesn't realize that some people own more expensive cars/etc, not to have something that meets needs, but because they like it.

    Example for GP: Plasma TV buyers in 2000, portable DVD players in 1999.. lots of other examples.

  24. Re:Reliability and RAID, what to do with SSD on SSD Prices Down 46% Since 2011 · · Score: 2

    RAID is good if you got the cash to pick up two drives, but only really necessary if you have a massive need to keep the system operational 24x7.
    Other than that, if the drive starts losing sectors (HDD or SSD) it's time to just replace it.
    If it's a server, I'd say yeah. If it's a desktop, as long as your backing it up (time machine?), it's an overkill.

    Seagate HARDDRIVES lack the reliability of HDDs... at least over the last 3-4 years.
