$270+ is kinda steep... Plus you've got to rely on rooting the tablet, and you never know when Barnes & Noble will fix the root exploit that lets you run whatever you want. This looks nice, but I've yet to read anything good about sub $200 tablets:(... Plus I'm not sure if the Marvell Aspen CPU is the right kind of ARM chip.
DARG! I hate replying to my own posts, but I should have mentioned, if you're in the United States Virgin Mobile has a $25/mo + Tax Android with a V6 process here. The Freescale A Pad has all the specs you could ask for and a bargin price, but I've heard bad, bad things about the build quality...
Yeah, but isn't it the V6 processor? There's tons of stuff that won't run on that:(. You need the V7 (Cortex) processor to do cool stuff. I want to port my Firefox Plugin, but I can't afford a $200 phone + $100/mo + 2 year lease (I don't care what they call it, with those cancellation fees it's basically a lease).
The ARM tablets I've seen are either really, really expensive ($500+), or they're running the V6. I don't think there is a cheap alternative for Android hobbyist dev.
If you want to do fancy apps you need the V7 (aka Cortex) processor, and most of the cheap stuff (like the phones from Virgin Mobile & Cricket) are the V6 processor (Arm 11). Anyone know a cheap V7 device?
Some of the abuses caused by remote drones are pretty well documented, even if the parent is a little extreme. It's kinda like how you can't talk about real conspiracies because of all the nut jobs...
One, because the can be, but two, because it costs lots and lots of money to move that much money around. Every time you swipe a Visa they're LENDING money to be paid back. They have to keep the money on hand to pay all that, which in turn means borrowing money themselves.
I think the trouble is these plants were built in the early 70s, before all that. They require active cooling to be safe, and nobody thought they'd see a magnitude 9 earthquake in their lifetime...
it was from Iomega I think. It was a pen you could write with and it appeared on the screen. Cool idea, but the tracking was always skewed a bit so it was useless for drawing. If you drew a square it looked like a trapazoid. It'd be neat if they fixed this.
Now, what I'd kill for is a 'mouse' that kept me from having to leave home row:D.
You're right about the judge, but what the heck makes you think jurors aren't retards? I remember a woman on a jury saying, in the same sentence, that we can't allow our feelings to sway our judgment so we should band together to get this guy off the streets.
At least the UI. It's cleaner and faster, even if you compare it to iTunes on a Mac. They had some nasty music deleting bugs earlier on though, which is great fun when you paid for the tracks instead of having them on CD.
Zunes are durable too, at least 1st Gen. My ugly brown Zune is still going strong, and it was $100 at a time when a 30 gig iPod was $400:D.
for the Republicans. During wartime, people vote conservative. Plus you can get away with just about anything during war (Haliburton No bid contracts, Torture, Goldman Sachs bailout + letting their one real competitor Bear Sterns die, etc, etc).
People were still falling behind on their mortgages. They might have kept their homes for a few more months, but that 'might' is enough grey area for BofA to wiggle out of. Maybe if this effected the rich (like Bernie Maddoff Did) it would matter. This'll fizzle out.
The Republicans didn't NEED to vote for the bill. They'd already backed the Democrats into a corner and forced a bill on them they HAD to vote for. If the Dems didn't pass something they risk being labeled ineffective and worthless. I'll say it again, the Dems got out maneuvered and out spent. It's no surprise the Reps have better politicians, they've got the best money can buy. At any rate, politics is more complicated than who voted for what. You have to look at WHY the bill passed, not just how.
The Health Care Reform bill isn't a Democrat bill. It's a Republican bill the Democrats surrendered to because they wussed out when they lost Congress. The Republicans proposed the same lousy bill when Clinton tried to socialize medicine. It's a Red Herring. A bad bill the Republicans can blame on the democrats while secretly loving every minute of it (it's free money for the insurance lobby).
The Democrats want to socialize health care in America. Just like every other first world nation on the planet. They've given up on it because the were out spent, out maneuvered and just plain scared.
The world is a complicated place. It's too complicated to waste time bandying about words like 'stupid'. Do some reading on Mother Jones and the Daily Kos. Just about everything is verifiable and true (I admit, Daily Kos sometimes embellishes, but Mother Jones is solid Journalism). Read rotten.com and fark.com. Read the independent press. And remember, the corporations are coming for you're livelihood and your middle class lifestyle. Good luck, you're going to need it.
They're completely ham-strung by a corrupt Supreme Court that has, LITERALLY, be bought. Google for Clarence Thomas and bribery. The Supreme court opened the door for unlimited corporate money, and that was that....
Even if that hadn't happened, the Republicans ran the country into the ground for 8 years using TERRIFYING TERRORISTS to get away with anything. It's a bit much to ask for 2 years of weakly supported Democratic rule to fix that. Maybe if you people would stop voting for Republicans. Obama had a lot of great stuff on the table until he lost Congress.
Instead of focusing on all the horrible things the gov'mint can do with DNA, why don't we ask ourselves how we built a society where it matters? The rich don't care if you've got their DNA, because they're rich, they get whatever they want anyway. It's just poor losers that're worried about it...
We're talking about left and right wing, not specific politicians. For example, Al Franklin is left wing. Obama is not. He's right of center. Al Franklin is not going to win the presidency. I'll settle for Obama over McCain any day. It's OK to be left wing and practical you know? Maybe some day we can get Al in the presidency, but for today I'll settle for Obama...
The argument goes that net neutrality stifles profits as telecom companies struggle to keep up with bandwidth demand and cannot impose much needed controls on their own network. Also, content providers lose out because they can't guarantee a high quality of service. Yes, the arguments are holier than Swiss cheese, but there it is...
No, the right wing are the ones to watch for. They're the conservatives, meaning they're taking care of the old guard. The left wing are in liberals, they're in favor of change, so they're not as concerned with making sure the ones with family money keep it.
Yes, politicians say and do what they need to get elected. Yes, they can all be bought off. But if you're talking in general the right wing sides with people that already have money, and that's Corporate American and our current ruling class.
but it creates it's only share of problems described above. First to File would be fine if our patent office would stop rubber stamping stuff like 1 click shopping...
The technology he's talking about has been wide spread since 2001 at least, and here we are a few years into their last major release and we've got revolutions the like of which we haven't seen in 40 years. If nothing else, wikileaks made our rulers look like idiots, and their army's stopped supporting them. Any revolution ends when the military starts shooting, and in a few cases the army said no. This despite they've done it before. So there.
And besides, this is the former HEAD of British intelligence. He wouldn't bother making parallels for the sheer fun of it. He's trying to make a point.
how is Apple making the iPad so cheap? Nobody tries to go head to head with Apple. It's a waste of time. They're just too hip. So you fight on price or you fight on features. If the other tablet makers are neck & neck with Apple on price there must be a reason....

but for the Americans, I can't stress this enough: Stop Voting Republican! Come on people, it's called the lesser of two evils!
P.S. Yes, if they flip flop, like they did in the 1800s, switch sides. But RIGHT NOW Republican == BAD.
