I hope you're not an open source advocate because the success of both of both of these efforts are linked by the same principle; many eyes are better than fewer. Even though everyone contributing to open source projects may not be a professional or an "expert," they may have enough sense to see a vulnerability or a bug where someone else hasn't. Just like a normal person with a brain can see something that may seem out of place in its natural surroundings and can alert a true expert to the location.
We have an enormous expanse of area that the plane could have gone down in and any help in narrowing down locations to search is exactly that.
Unfortunately I only bought my iphone because my beloved Samsung D807 suffered a premature demise.
That said, I think most of us early adopters aren't angry so much that we might have saved $200 by waiting, but by the fact that all kinds of riffraff can now afford the most fabulous object in the world. We paid a premium to assert our superiority and now we have to hear: "Oh, you bought it before the price drop?"
That's strange, the sound quality of my iphone is atrocious. I love the device for all of its other features but I dread making phone calls and constantly saying "What?" and "Sorry I couldn't hear you."
In the Halo 3 Multiplayer beta you can assign your character a 3 character ID, consisting of a letter followed by 2 numbers. Disallowed ID's included N64, P53, N35, and a few others that escape me right now. I mean come on Microsoft.
Hey it was 320GB of some really freaky porn that nobody else was supposed to see. What he didn't realize is that the Truecrypt process took a look at it and decided he shouldn't be watching those movies either.
I was a longtime Opera user before Firefox 1.5 and then I made the switch to FF. Opera has come ahead in leaps and bounds since and I use it occasionally, but the absolute only feature that is keeping me from going back to Opera is the lack of ad-blocking functionality.
I deal with all of Firefox's glitches and occasional memory leaks just because it lets me block out ads, and when I use Opera it's a jarring reminder everytime that the internet is so damn full of ads.
That's quite an inflammatory claim about the battery life. The battery life is actually one of the pleasantly surprising features of the phone. I use the ipod and browser regularly and typically go for more than 2 days before I need to recharge.
The sound quality of phone calls on the other hand...
/. has a libertarian bias like Bill Maher has a libertarian bias, all those elements of libertarianism except for the economics. Otherwise known as modern liberalism.
If people generally aren't concerned about the fuel efficiency of their cars, which leads to significant expenses, why would they suddenly be concerned about the energy efficiency of their computers when electricity is relatively cheap?
What part of government granted monopolies is considered capitalism? If the government didn't give away what wasn't theirs to give, we might actually have some competition, which would surely benefit the consumer.
It really shouldn't be due to engine limitations when you can play split screen on the same system. I assume they are going to deal with checkpoints the same way they did in 1 and 2 and teleport the player lagging behind to the location of the leading player. Why can't this be done over Live?
Or they could refuse to produce GTA IV for companies that won't license Manhunt. Offer Microsoft a deal to make GTA IV a 360 exclusive and I think they would take Manhunt along with it. I think Sony might be desperate enough to license it too if they were going to be denied GTA IV. They're dying for good games to sell PS3s.
The problem is that capitalism isn't allowed to work. You're not paying 5.25 here because of capitalism. You're paying that because the government is involved in the process, granting patents and instituting enormous hurdles for companies to bring the drugs to market. It's not the same company selling those drugs at two wildly different prices. The Indian company had none of the overhead from developing and getting the drug approved by the FDA.
And what's artificial about that? These are market forces. There's nothing artificial about another person's willingness to work for less than you will.
If only it were really that simple. The ESRB was not created due to an independent realization by producers and retailers that they need to set limits on what they will make and sell, it was created in response to the US Congress threatening to force government regulation the videogame industry. Clearly the industry would much rather self-regulate than be subject to the whims of the government, but they would really prefer to have complete control over what they are able to sell.
You could be sure that absent any government pressure this game would absolutely be sold on at least one system.
No mention of how the servers were overloaded from the get-go and it took until after 11pm for most users to get to the confirmation page?
I'll tell you it was frustrating as hell. At any point during the registration process you were likely to get a blank white page with Microsoft's copyright at the bottom, so it was nearly impossible to tell if your registration was successful.
It appears that Bungie is going to make a selection from all those who registered, and there is no information yet as to how they plan on making that selection (random or targeted).

Just remove the battery.
Oh wait.

Just a tweak to your calculation...
You can't buy insurance on the iphone, so that's $5 less each month, and activation is free. Not that it makes much of a difference.

Who would have thought one of the most prolific Buddhist scholars was a cybernetic organism from the future?

You assume there is logic in grammatical rules.

Still waiting for copy and paste, custom ringtones, and bluetooth file transfers... :(

Good luck with Intuit porting to linux. QB Enterprise hardly works right on Win32.

Gives new meaning to having your account "hacked."
