Well Direct TV Actually. But then I like Rugby and that is only offered on Setanta:( So I have to pay. If it wasn't for that Netflix plus local stuff OTA would be enough for me.
Perhaps people like to use their other hand. You could use the phone, drink coffee or even masturbate. I don't like to be treated as if I am wearing a mitten on my right hand.
Personally I like having more buttons plus a scroll wheel. I used to play FPS games regularly and would make use of 4 buttons and a scroll wheel.
I don't really understand your apparent concern for money at 125K. If you have good job security and enjoy your job. I would think most people would be extremely happy with that salary in any metro area of the states.
Then again perhaps you are just attempting to communicate that cap to others who may be looking at programming as a get super rich opportunity
Perhaps they want to receive calls! Admittedly it would be worth doing some research for cheaper options if you bill is regularly in excess of 1000 dollars.
My wife belongs to a union and makes in excess of 100k. So do you think unions drive down wages in all professions or just IT and even if it were to drive down the average salary I think 25k is way too low.
They aren't identical. The heavier, lower-revving diesel hurts performance. Show me a production diesel that performs as well as it's gasoline counterpart, and (if it exists) you'll be showing me a much more expensive car.
I present you the 330d BMW. Although not quite as fast as the 330i it is very close and for casual driving it feels faster as it has max torque (500NM!!) available at low revs
Users love it. Lots of other systems do this MacOS, Amiga and all consoles have autorun so it makes sense. Security is about finding the right balance of useability and Security as the more you lock it down the less usable a system becomes. Don't get me wrong good design can help ie programs writing to user folders instead of being hard coded c:\EtcEtc\
http://gamecopyworld.com/ I found this site to be good.I always hated having to have the CD in after a full install of a game. Of course I don't play many games anymore. Not enough time:(
Is there no form of tax associated with the farm? Or are you suggesting someone else lets you live on their property for free? I don't how you are going to pay rent or property taxes without income and income earned by a US citizen is taxed by the federal government hence the need for a SSN and you have to file a tax return where you have enter your address.
So to be free of telling them your address you must make no money and own no property. Because this seems, like a highly unlikely set of circumstances. Is there something I am missing?
Cost per mile will also have assumptions. For example how much is a car that has 30,000 miles on it but is ten years old. I bet it is less then a 1 year old car with 30,000 miles on it. So to calculate cost per mile you would have to assume a millage per year rate, I think 12,000 would be about correct. It would worthwhile to factor in the battery replacement cost and maintenance versus petrol powered Elise and work out a price per mile cost, just to see our viable a test this is. Given the limted volume perhaps depreciation should excluded as it would be hard to calulate and with a super high purchase price I am not sure if it would be lower if it were produced on a larger scale.
You live in California and you don't use a drier. I think they are far worse then washing machines. In New Zealand everyone hangs their clothes on the line to save money. Here in California everyone seems to use driers despite having great weather for clothes lines. I guess energy is cheap and everyone is rich.
Another thing that I think would work great in CA is solar water heating. Solar water heaters are so simple and given the weather I think it make a huge difference to the power bill.
The EU doesn't have a single currency. So you can define economic block as you like. The EU also has more varied cultures and multiple languages making it slightly harder to market a single product to the entire market.
I would agree though that is negotiates foreign trade agreements as a single block.
Ok so you have a point you need a hard drive. I do you the Xbox 360 for movie rentals and I find it works well. I always pick the SD though as the download speeds aren't there for the HD content IMO. The movie in DVD quality is take about 3-5 minutes before it starts playing (HD seems to take over 2 hours, longer than I will wait) typically my wife and I prepare pop corn get ourselves comfortable and then it is ready to play.
I suspect the Apple TV works in a similar fashion and I wouldn't be surprised to see the PS3 have the capability as well.
I see all of these mainly targeting the rental industry just like Comcast on demand service does. I think for owning digital copies people will require a mechanism for backing up their media files.
If the laptop has HDMI out, then you get a Laptop and a blue ray player. If you are in the market for a laptop anyway and it is say a 100-150 dollar premium for the blue ray player system it maybe worth it.
Perhaps you are the one that needs the better TV as your scalar is bad? To be honest I too have a 1080p Samsung and on my set I can tell the difference between 1080p and 720p, ESPN, Local ABC and the local Fox Channel are all 720p. Text and close ups are where it is most noticeable it just seems like it is a little blurry and not quite as crisp. Although during a good movie I probably wouldn't notice as I would be absorbed by the movie.
I use encryption software on my work laptop and it seems to make it considerable slower. It isn't too bad for me but it seems to freeze completely every now and then. I don't use the laptop for intensive work and even then I do notice it; I tend to use the laptop to remote into my desktop more often.
I have heard other people complain a fair bit. So yes it does slow the system down a noticeably, but if you use it for basic tasks it should run fine.
You are aware that Microsoft doesn't make any media PCs. They make the software.
When I visited their website I can't see any mention of storing the movies/pics locally. So I am curious with Apple TV you can load it with movies without a PC/Mac or are you pairing it with an iTunes on computer?
Because if not I use my Xbox 360 (made my Microsoft) to access all the videos, pictures and mp3s on my PC. It is probably noisier then the apple TV but it isn't too bad without the DVD drive spinning up. Plus it plays games.
I remember when I heard the internet is great for commerce because you can reach the entire world. This was quickly shown to be untrue when I clicked a banner advertisement for the 1st and last time. It looked like it had attractive memory prices but alas it was US only. If it had said it on the advertisement or I wasn't taken in by the hype of the global market place I wouldn't have been disappointed.
It seems the commerce part is still behind piracy in its global reach. I guess I was naive not to think that taxes customs and varying consumer laws and localized distribution rights wouldn't stop this.

Wow that sucks bigtime. I am not sure how this limitation of freedom benefits the majority of Americans :(

Only sanctioned corporations can burn witches.
BTW I completely agree with your comment.
Has someone told phelps? Has to be said. :)
Teach the 3rd graders Bubble Sort. Nothing is more exciting then bubble sort it has bubbles and everything! Bright shiny bubbles.
/Watch out for dragons tho they are always trying to burst or bounce on bubbles

I found a bicycle isn't big enough often. So sometimes I have to break the law! :(
Wow I have never heard of weatherbug and banziabuddy. I feel so lucky :)

3.5 hours so this article says http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/05/03/electric.car.ap/index.html/. You wouldn't want to wait this long but assuming a 150 mile (70 less then the claim) range it would be useful for commuting and local drives.
