For me it doesn't speak very well for the um... Climate believers(?) sense of rational argument. No, the opposing view isn't questioning our computer models or the accuracy of our data. Nope. They deny climate altogether!
Can you see this "climate"? People keep telling me there's air, but I'm not buying it!
The actual worth of an iPad aside, your friend has a new piece of tech which people are lining up to buy at full retail and is still in limited supply? And he is letting it sit idle? He is either imaginary or an idiot or has never heard of eBay.
He's a app developer. He bought it to make his stuff work on it.
According to him, it's just too heavy to be comfortable and he always grabs his iPhone instead.
I was actually being silly. I was more referencing both the "things munching on the hull" (explosive decompressions) rather than the nature of the universe.
In a few million years when the cockroach archaeologists are poking around, they are going to have a hell of a time figuring out what actually killed us off.
It is just that it will be like that _Star Trek NG_ episode where, upon hearing something munching on the Enterprise's hull, Dr. Crusher asks the ship's computer "What is the nature of the universe?" to which the answer comes back "The universe is an oblate spheroid one kilometer in diameter."
Dude, there was nothing munching on the hull, people were disappearing because she had dropped into a collapsing warp bubble of her own private universe!
CRUSHER: Computer, what's happening?
COMPUTER: Explosive decompression decks five through fourteen. Sealing off forward sections.
CRUSHER: Cause?
COMPUTER: A flaw in the ship's design.
CRUSHER: Show me. Analysis.
COMPUTER: No ship's structures exist forward of bulkhead three four two.
It's compliance with regulations and insurance. When one patient transfers MRSA to another and you're sued for 1000x-10000x times the price difference it becomes reasonable.
Yes, you could buy them all new units. My reply wasn't intended to address that possibility.
If I break a leg, I get crutches (if necessary)[1]. After I don't need them anymore, I have to give them back or pay for them. Same thing for the wii -> problem solved.
Medical devices designed to be transferred among many different people are made of specific materials that can be cleaned or have parts replaced.
My sister's family of three very young children do without tv and, as long as they've been growing, I've always been impressed with their ability to play and lack of complaining when we turn off the tv at grandpa's house.
Our kids don't generally complain when the TV goes off. And it's ALWAYS easier to get kids to play in a new spot.
You can still select what you watch with cable TV as well. Like I said, we generally only watch educational shows, with the occasional SpongeBob thrown in for good measure. I'm quite impressed with the shows they have now actually. 99.9% of the internet is crap, that doesn't invalidate the 0.1% good.
I didn't have cable up until about four years ago. But then we had babies, and having Dora, WordWorld, Sesame Street and Little Einsteins on tap in the DVR is a godsend.
Yes, yes, we interact and read them books every day, but you still need time to fix dinner.
As a BitTorrent user, I was shocked that anyone with a box connected to the Internet can spy on what everyone is downloading on BitTorrent.
This is good news. It means BitTorrent is no longer relegated to those who are even remotely user savvy. This means more sharing!
Hint: BitTorrent is a protocol that relies on users talking to each other about what they're downloading. This, strangely enough, provides users with information on what everyone is downloading on BitTorrent.

...exsanguinate money trying to compete in markets they are a decade behind in...
My apologies and I'm embarrassed. It is the first result for "wii ps3 attach rate". December 2007 is 2.5 years old.
Here.
No.
Don't make me say it a third time.
Lowest attach rate? Source, please.
Here you go.

I was specifically responding to the point that games on the PS3 and 360 "suck".
There is clearly multiple forms of objective evidence that this is not the case.
That is ridiculous pricing! Clearly they are NOT pricing individual episodes at a competitive price to cable TV.
Your cable TV bill is subsidized by commercials.
Really this doesn't detract from the point that the Wii sold because it was simple, easy and fun.
The point was that the games on the 360 and PS3 "sucked in 2007 and still suck in 2010".
By both attach rate and review score this is demonstrably not true. Attach rate specifically corrects for number of consoles sold.
The games on the PS3 and 360 Sucked in 2007 and surprise surprise they still suck in 2010.
The Wii has both the lowest attach rate and lowest reviewed games of all three systems.
And in the darkness bind them?

Friend of mine bought an iPad. It's already collecting dust according to him.

"It appears the main culprit concerning playback issues with Avatar is, ironically, the disc's DRM"
That word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
It's ironic because it's a movie about fighting against corporate control.
However, the old "Point a videocamera at the screen and record away" method will always work...
Not when we're all watching 3D movies...
Judges already don't accept an IP simply being tied to a torrent.
What do they accept? My, err, friend wants to know!
