If I own a hard disk the contents might appear random. This random data might be encrypted content or the disk may have come like that. If I upload a file to a cloud service every byte in that file is assumed to mean something, so otherwise why did I upload it?
There is less plausible deniability with cloud storage.
So therefore having a swap file makes your encrypted data more secure?
In December, a PS3 cost about $350, while Walmart would sell you a Blu-Ray player for $55. So, exactly as I said - "if you just want to watch Blu-Rays on your HDTV, over-buying is an expensive way to go about it." (I've added some emphasis for you this time).
But it's not $350 vs $50! That's like trying to compare Apple to Caviar.
So it's more of a $50-75 premium, not $300 like you state. I personally think the extra features are worth $50. I'm not sure It's worth a $100 premium.
"You could build a capable HTPC for much less than the cost of a PS3.
Wrong."
Hah! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh man you're so full of shit. My CURRENT system can work as an HTPC, with medium gaming capability, and it only cost me $150 to build.
Capable of 1080p HD? Shit, my PENTIUM FOUR is capable of doing that, at 2.0 GHz, with 512MB RAM and a proper video player. That machine is probably worth.. $75 now?
'Second, and more importantly, Can your $50 Walfart special transfer movies to your psp so you can watch it on the plane, Or do you have to take the disk with you and risk scratching it?'
On the other hand, when your plane lands in the 'wrong' country, don't even think about buying a regioned disk to take home to the PS3 (which is, like most players, Broken By Design and incapable of playing it). Of course, if you'd bought one of the cheapo supermarket models that has multi-region BD playback (they do exist), then...
I'd like to take this time to point out that that the PS3 is the only modern console that doesn't use region lock out.
You could build a capable HTPC for much less than the cost of a PS3. In fact, you can get TVs that do it all over the network these days, so it doesn't really matter, the argument is still the same.
well I do switch between the TV and the projector, So integrated is out of the question. also means it's got to go in the back of the room.(so no IR remotes)
But wait you build a HTPC for much less then $250???
The case alone is like $100, A bluetooth remote is another $50. Blu-Ray Drives start at $100. I'm thinking $150 for the MB/chip. I have a hard time believing you can put together a HTPC for less then $400. whereas a PS3 Slim is $250.
Sure there are ARM based solutions that cheaper, But I don't think there is a better media center Solution cheaper then a PS3.
First blu-ray players didn't start at $50, there was a time when they cost as much or more then a ps3,
Second, and more importantly, Can your $50 Walfart special transfer movies to your psp so you can watch it on the plane, Or do you have to take the disk with you and risk scratching it?
Yes, But Can you delete your saved passwords without flashing the phone?
If your buying a phone for security it isn't a an iphone or an android flavor... it's a blackberry.
Not only can it remote wipe,(Which is a new feature added when the 3G came out) The Black berry can Do a remote Wipe if someone pulls out the sim card or even if they leave it in a Farday cage for too long. or even too many failed password guesses.
Actually can you have the password timeout error wipe the Iphone?
Wait Wait Wait.... Are you saying the Iphone is targeted at the business world?
I'm not sure the article fully understands androids capabilities, I have a remote wipe app on my g1. The only real security feature the iphone has is the lack of a SD card.
Actually it's lower resolution then many other maps, It does have very high coverage, The problem is trying to find a pass that doesn't have to much cloud cover.
As someone who does GIS for a living, I can say we usually use this data til we can get a LIDAR Plane over the prospect.
If only we had a arbitrary value system in which to see if this was cost effective, Oh wait I know just convert to dollars.
I mean surely we have a value we can assign to a human life, What figure does the military use? lets use 5 mil, this might be high, if someone has a better number let me know.
The WTC attack killed ~3000 people. That's about 15 billion, Another 3 Billion to build the new tower. so 18 bill total.
The TSA costs us 6 Billion a year.
So as along as the TSA is preventing a 9/11 Sized attack every 3 years or so were getting a good deal.
The cost of blowing us a plane is alot less 1.2 billion... maybe... Actaully if you look at the two most memorable attacks since 9/11(the shoe bomber and the underwear bomber) the TSA didn't actually stop them, It was the passengers.
Funny given that almost every stopped terrorist plot was stopped by the passengers, I'm thinking the NRA approach might be better. Just let every carry a handgun on the plane, anyone who tries anything gets shot, no need to worry about where the trial is held then.
I think i've lived in texas to long.

well... The nokia's work on any network, Does that make them a transvestite?
Does that make Eve a car jacker?
That depends Is it african or indian?

a ps3 slim is $250

a DLNA Blu Ray player is $175

The other mitigating factor is just about every Region locked Movie I've run into is PAL.
I have gotten a few NTSC-j games though that required a mod chip to play.

Does it have bluetooth and HDMI out?

Question. What device do you use to watch on your tv the movies you download off the internet? what device do you watch netflix MoD?
Personally I use my PS3.
The cheapest blu-ray player I've seen that can do DLNA is $200, You can get a PS3 for $250.
First blu-ray players didn't start at $50, there was a time when they cost as much or more then a ps3,

I can already put a Gig on a CD, It's called winzip.
It's more memory then Raw CPU.
Yes, But Can you delete your saved passwords without flashing the phone?

I'm just saying we spend more on preventing terrorism then we have lost due terrorism. and that doesn't even include the two wars.

Worth note is that the British Empire also started to collapse after invading Afghanistan.
that's why congressmen have staffers, believe it or not they actually have to do stuff other then sleeping with the congressman.
but 12 doesn't have any units, It's just an arbitrary scale mapping outputs.
