The screen is colour, but it "looks" black'n'white when the backlight is turned off, aka "e-reader mode". Probably you'll see some colours without the backlight if you have a very bright light source (the sun).
It will come with Android but it's not locked down so you'll be able to run any Linux distribution on it as long as it supports the Tegra 2 platform.
For me as an outsider (a Swede) I think that jury based courts seem crazy because then it's not about the law anymore. Members of the jury will always consult their religion and morals instead of the law, making it effectively a religion based court. Just like in Iran, but with other values and references. This is something we should had left behind us already after the witchcraft trials in the 1600s. Also, the concepts of bail, settling out of court and suing for more than one can possible pay in a whole life seem totally alien to me because to me it looks like it's not about equal justice but about money, power and bloodthirsty revenge.
And I don't know how big of a performance hit pluralize yields
It adds a couple of milliseconds to the startup time and that's about it. If you didn't manually specify a table name in the class, it will use the plural version of the class name and store that in the table_name variable when you start the app. Actually, most of Rails' "magic" is performed during application initialization (dynamically creating methods and setting variables) and after that it's (internally) just running code as usual.
You can also just add config.active_record.pluralize_table_names = false to your config/environment.rb if you don't like the behaviour.
Oh, so if anyone treats you like shit they forfeit their rights to their stuff? Methinks the law isn't on your side. And neither are ethics.
No, but I really, truly don't care.
I could just refrain from playing the game or I could pirate it. Whichever of those two choices I as an individual make it doesn't make even a tiny difference for them.
As long as I don't cause anyone any damage I don't have any regrets.
Legal? Hardly. Moral? Depends. But I care about them about as much as they care about me.

Ungrateful leech? Why should he care about someone treating him like shit?
If I bought a game it would be because I wanted to play the game, not because I feel a need to support a company. If the company makes it a PITA (or even refusing me) to even reach the point where I can start playing, I too would say "fuck this shit!", return the game and get a much better gaming experience by pirating it.
BTW, I have a proud collection of 50+ legally bought original games in my bookcase.
Nothing beats MKV+h.264 when you want to put your DVDs in your HTPC/media center and keep all audio tracks, subtitles and chapter markings, while using a third of the needed diskspace compared to a full ISO copy. This, and reencoding your movies for your portable devices, are the main use-cases that Handbrake is optimized for. This is as legit as it gets, IMHO.
Also, I'm pretty sure that most "scene" release groups don't use it for their releases, they use a collection of other tools.
facebook was just a convenient mechanism, nothing unique about it made this possible
Except the massive amount of users from the general public who don't normally care about computers. Even the average grandpa seems to have a Facebook account these days...
You can listen to the whole show here.
They shout "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!" 16 times in a row at the end of the song which is the climax of the song. How the FUCK they could expect them to do what they told them is beyond me.
MKV is the default container format for Handbrake, one of the most popular DVD-ripping programs around.
It's very common practice to rip DVD:s to MKV with unscaled H.264 video, all audio tracks and all subtitles and put them in a HTPC or other external media player (Popcorn Hour, etc). You'll even get to keep the chapter markings.
Yes, MKV is also the container format of choice for the HD pirate "scene" but that doesn't mean it doesn't also have legitimate uses.
Ok, I somewhat take that sentence back, but in many cases it's true.
Compared to only a decade or two ago, today there are many more pupils per teacher, many more patients per doctor/nurse, each taxi driver is expected to drive more persons per day, sellers are expected to sell more, etc.
We aren't working harder today, but the accelerating efficiency requirements are more stressing and it's the stress that many persons with neurological disorders have a hard time coping with. Often the threshold is almost zero. Just working "hard" is less of a problem.

The only time the question of it's "complexity" come up is when people want to either bash it or violate it.
You may have noticed that we're discussing a situation where a GPL vendor pushed a significantly more complex interpretation.
So what he said. The GPL is only complex for those who are searching for ways to only follow the letter of it, not the spirit.

Personally I want to have one already! *drool*

Rumour has it that this baby is going to be the CPU of the Playstation 4 in 2012.
Somebody out there is just itching to write C on Crack.

Can you give examples of English songs that someone should be listening to?
Max Romeo.
They show you ads unless you are running adblock.
How ironic that to be free to the world they'd have to move away from the free world.
USA != The free world.
Most countries in Europe and many other countries are still pretty darn free, although American lobbyists are working hard to change that.

Why don't you turn off automatic updates then?
350MB HD releases? HD releases (of TV series) are usually 1.09 GB or 1.3 GB for 720p and 2.6 GB per episode for 1080p.
Even better: http://xkcd.com/612/

it isn't actually an argument.
Yes, it is!

Except that it hasn't had a single update, even in the source repository, for well over a year. Seems pretty dead to me.
