(I think) I saw the phone mentioned on Ars as an "android" phone. I saw the commercial for it last night and wondered, "hey, is that the android phone?" Then I forgot about it. AS I TYPE THIS an iPhone ad is being run on my TV. The advertizing for the T-Mob.... wait, gotta watch the Apple bake sale ad... 'K Im back. What was I talking about?

Check the marinas at lakes that don't allow public mooring (probably any of them). Any place where it would require some effort (ie a trailer) to move a boat and where the only option is to pay to store, moor, or dock a boat is a good place to look. At marinas on lakes in Georgia, for example they'll have a semi-annual auction for boats that are abandoned or delinquent in dock fees. I believe, in Georgia at least, that these types of public auction sales are required by law to establish a title of ownership. You may have similar laws in Fla, so check it out. Still, moving a sailboat/powerboat to Fla from Ga/Ala isn't big deal.
Most of the bigger boats that I see go cheap are steel flat hulled houseboats, old i/o board Searays and older sailboats that need a fair amount work, but few have touched saltwater, and you can inspect prospective purchases.
Also, I came across this looking for mooring laws in Fla. If they passed this law it would probably cause a lot of people to give up their boats cheap, esp with dollars stretched so thin...
The beer section in USAninan supermarkets starts with 30packs of mass produced crap for $20 and ends with decent beers, ales, etc... for $8 a 6pack (or 4 Pint cans). How much you want to save to get hammered is up to you and your tastebuds.
Yep, that's what I do too. Nothing special. I don't usually second guess the engineers when there isn't problem. That's what 3 year warranties are for.
The first time the drives warmed up, air would exit the vent. when they cooled down the air left n the drive contracts. If oil doesn't force its way through the filter. It would probably tear the filter or compress the plate covering the platter.
I let you experiment with it, though. I don't see any need to provide special cooling for my HDDs.
HDDs have a little hole on the plate that covers the platter. It says do not cover. It's a vent that regulates air pressure in the drive IIRC.I don't think submerging them would be a fantastic idea anyway. On the other hand I don't see the point of better cooling on an SSD either. So I think they're just doing it because they can charge more for the system since this way you can't opt for raptors.
I remember someone once told me men dream in black and white and women dream in color. This more than 20 something years ago. Then some years later and 2000 miles away I heard it again. I think it's an idea perpetrated and perpetuated by people that meet the criteria or that just don't remember their dreams.
I'm a guy who grew up with a B&W set and I've always dreamed in color.
I'm actually a little confused by what is being offered on the 15"MBP. They say it's a 9400+9600 SLI combo, but the 9400m is supposed to be a 9100 integrated chip combined with a discrete 9200 or 9300 card in a hybrid sli setup. I'm thinking it'll just use the 9200/9300 card and the 9600 card in hybrid SLI (since both should have dedicated RAM) but saying 9400+9600 would mean they are including the chipset GPU in SLI as well. Sounds like more trouble than it's worth.
Apple cuts the price on the high end, not the low end. While they rarely offer the best and most bad-assed hardware, their price on upper tier gear is usually fair to good. People that buy their "pro" lines get solid hardware that is well thought out. They're like Volvos, boxy but good. The only difference in the car analogy is Volvo drivers don't act like they're driving Aston Martins.
Glossy screens are a pain in the ass if you wear a white shirt in a well lit area. You have to crank up the backlight to max to overcome your own reflection on the screen. This knocks off a good chunk of your battery life. Since Stevo only wears black turtlenecks he's probably unaware of this fact. Maybe it won't be as big an issue with LED based screens.
Lol. But seriously just buy a matt "screen protector". I'm sure there will be one or twelve different brands of them custom cut for the new macs for sale within a week.
I enjoyed Oblivion, but I cheated a lot to gain that enjoyment. There was no penalty (that I could detect) for not sleeping, you only leveled when you slept for an hour, and skills appeared to continue going up regardless of your level. So I played most of the game at level 9 and then when I got tired of those critters and gear, stopped "waiting" (which did not level you) and did 4 1 hour "sleeps". Then did the same thing later.
To me it was a very pretty sandbox game with a storyline. I expect more of the same with Fallout. I hope the voice acting is implemented better. I hope that generic bandits don't start out with with bows and hide armor in the beginning and then 10 hours into the game come equipped with chain lasers and plasteel powerarmor in the sameareas. We'll see.
Because most FPS games aren't set up to run like House of the Dead or Duck Hunt.
FPS and RTS are games developed for (and around) the KB/Mouse interface. The keyboard gives you easy access to a 100+ button controller for one hand and the mouse allows for both precision and speed.
If you give me a gun controller for a FPS I'm going to also need a Wii Fit board to stand on. Gun + Snowboard = Crazy Awesome.
I do remember seeing Linspire CDs for sale at Fry's right next to the OEM Windows CDs. All the other linux distros were stuck it the linux section, far far away. Walmart sold Linspire systems as well. So some effective attempt at marketing it and getting product placement was made. Doesn't rule out embezzlement, but I think a good effort was made by the company to challenge the MS juggernaut. If I were a shareholder I would strongly question a lack of profit.
Can you get away with that? I thought creating a new restricted weapon required a special mfg licence and the tax transfer fee was just for existing weapons.

Update, The Apple ad complaining that MS spends too much on advertising just played. They must be being ironic.
Oh, and 5 min later the new girl on CSI uses the iPhone to find a murder suspect. T-Mobile better get on the ball!

Before 1897 it was called demonic possession, being turned into a newt by a witch, deific (not sure that's a word) visitation, etc...
