It makes perfect sense. When docked AND plugged in, the cores can be turbo boosted with a doubling of the Ghz. Bam, double the speed, fast enough to compete with a budget laptop.
When it's unplugged, the cores are underclocked again, and battery life is good.
Of course, such phones would be expensive and the dock will eat up some mainboard/battery space.
But we would need a universal dock to make such devices convenient enough. If there are terminals everywhere for you to plug your cellphone into, your cell will become your backup laptop.
What we at Sony try to say is that the PSP2 is as good running a 720p game as a PS3 running a 1080p game. That is to say the PSP2 is 50% as powerful.
Of course, that's still impossible, everybody knows that. What we really mean is that the psp2 can run the kind of games that the PS3 runs, so the power of the psp2 is "in the ballpark", basically it's 25% the power of a PS3, kindof.
For the video conference feature I chose to write my own codec to avoid all these "politics", sure, it's re-inventing the wheel, but screw it, I want my product to just work...
You're joking, right? Please tell me you are joking and not insane!
Steam uses DRM, which is evil, and does not provide a way for customers to resell their games, which is also evil. In addition, it strangles LAN play by requiring an unnecessary internet connection, which adds some more evil to the mix.
I am saddened by the popularity of steam and deeply disappointed by the decisions Valve made regarding their customers' rights and privileges.
I don't mind the more invasive pat-down because when it's done professionally, it's really not uncomfortable. The real problem is that the time to get a pat-down will about an order of magnitude longer than the time walking through the machine.
It's funny. Books are even easier to pirate than music, movies and games. Book publishers have had decades to observe what happened when the DRM crowd got greedy and evil instead of humble and sweet and they are poised to make enough blunders to drive would-be pirates to say "Oh, it's like this? Then fuck all of you!" and give them excuses to pirate books wholesale.
Trust people's gratitude! When I read a good book, I am grateful, I feel [i]love[/i] for the authors, I [b]want[/b] to give them my money, [i]and[/i] buy them drinks, [i]and[/i] lavish them with praise, [i]and[/i] proselytize for them. Hell, I will give them my blood to keep them alive and read more of what they write!
Publishers: What you need to do is make me, make US believe, [i]really[/i] believe that you take good care of your authors, that you are fair to them and that the vast, vast majority of the money we pay is going to them, not you. We don't care that much about you. I care a little bit about the editors that help shape a book but that's about it.
If you don't do this, people will just feel entitled to pirate your books by the hundreds. It's SO easy and a thousand award-winning books can be downloaded in hours and last anyone a decade. The honest ones among us will just send 10 bucks to the author for all the books he/she ever wrote. It'll probably be more money than they'd get in royalties. And those of us who won't pirate them can read some of the million free books google has put online.
This is coming from a 1st gen kindle owner who has bought dozens of DRMed books and magazine subscriptions. Now, I want my ePub format support, I want my DRM-free files, I want my resale rights. I'm asking nicely, aren't I? Oh, and give authors at least 80% of the price of the book.
Chrome supports "extensions" and Opera 11 will do as well, however, these are weak add-ons that do not allow something like Adblock plus, which actually blocks unneeded content from downloading, significantly speeding up browsing and, less importantly, reducing bandwidth usage.
I'm not knocking down Chrome (which I presently use) or Opera (which I've used and loved for years) but as far as I'm concerned, as long as they are not as addon-friendly as Firefox, Mozilla's browser will be in my list of must-install software.
The same thing happened to me. I had to spend 5 minutes looking for the relevant option in preferences. SOmething went awry server-side I guess. I know I didn't change it.
At this point in time, anyone with an old PS3 can use this and pirate any PS3 game already released offline.
The PS3 firmware can and will be updated to patch this exploit. Sony is quite safe from piracy and homebrew enthousiasts will have to choose between homebrew software and firmware upgrades + online play + new games.
How was this modded insightful? It sounds like racist drivel to me. A german is a human with a german passport, nothing more, nothing less. If a turk lives in germany, speaks german and is steeped in german culture, he or she is german. The moment you start disagreeing, you start using words like aryans and superior races.
And FYI, there are no human "races", if you can breed fertile children with him/her, you're the same race biologically.
The word race should be used to describe groups like Protoss, Humans and Zergs.
I think it's only appropriate that Wikileaks founder should lead a sexless life, like a monk. A castrated monk to be precise.
That way, we won't feel jealous of him for having one night stands with hot swedes and making them pay for the privilege. I mean, Could he be any more annoying?
I'm starting a petition to have Julian be chemically castrated! Who's with me?
As a mac user, i must say the GP makes a good point and point out that the first 2 methods you mention won't show pictures in full screen and are thus crappy. The 3rd one is not intuitive. How would someone know this wouldn't open dozens or hundreds of preview windows?
A 4th solution is to import all the pictures into iPhoto but it's needlessly time and disk consuming for the purpose stated.
Wrong! The tobacco industry is geared up, ready and waiting - including having trademarked various sale names for such products. Google "tobacco companies marijuana" if you dont believe me.
I did and there are exactly 4 google results...and none of them is relevant. You have lied to me and to slashdot. I demand an apology at once!
Just kidding. Google did the right thing. I wholeheartedly applaud the googlers for their courage and deftness in turning the google hacking crisis into an opportunity.

As a chrome user, let me offer a couple of compelling reasons:
Adblock plus
Segmented downloading (downthemall)

Yes I agree. His living conditions are hellish. I hope no one here argues it doesn't amount to torture.
In fact, it is long-term torture, lasting for close to a year now.
The man has yet to be sentenced. He should not be punished, especially not by long-term torture, in the interim.
Minimum security is plenty to hold him.
Decades behind bars is a horrible sentence. Almost as much as execution.

And France's Minitel! Don't forget Minitel!
To those of you who are not familiar with Minitel, it's like the internet only extremely horrible. I don't recommend googling it.
Basically, quantum computers could do magic on encryption, probably, in the future, possibly in 20 years?
Also possible: flying cars, cold fusion and immortality.

Looking forward to buying from you again!

You unfriended someone because of their taste in cinema? Really? REALLY?
I want you to take a few minutes to reflect upon what you've done. If you come to the conclusion you might be crazy, you're on to something.
If not, shine on you crazy person.
I'd argue with you but there can be no arguing with someone who deludes himself, so instead I tell you:
Go fuck yourself.
With love, a legal immigrant who became an american.
The same reason Microsoft used the name xbox 360 instead of xbox 2. Because they'd rather not overestimate their consumer's intelligence.
Frankly, I can't say I blame them. All people are ignorant and stupid about most things, myself included.

Bravo to you sirs! Bravo indeed!
