So you're cool dropping all the extra bucks on a Mac, and it only has to *look* high end?
I'm no big mac fan, but did read through the specs, and knew about 6-bit (common) and 8-bit ($$) LCDs. I assumed Apple used the good stuff, and thats where the money is going.
Turns out they sell image and hot air. They deserve to be burned on this point.
And if others in the industry advertise the same way, they deserve to be burned too.
For example, a cop can charge a man with beating his wife, regardless of whether she wants to file a complaint, or how much she protests when he cuffs him. (In fact, it's manditory in Ontario to affect an arrest at *all* domestic calls, but thats another story).
The law doesn't recognize "no harm, no foul". I can be charged with stealing from you, whether or not you care that I did.
Of course, it's rare in such a case for the cops to give a flying fuck in the first place, if none of the involved parties do.
It's pretty common knowledge that the IPCC writes its summary first, then goes looking for "data" that supports it, and ignores all research to the contrary.
Perhaps that kind of shit doesn't need to be enshrined in the constitution, and perhaps the decisions weren't quite so political. Not everyone thinks doomsday is tomorrow.
Maybe they're waiting for some more credible proof. Maybe they don't want egg on their face when some of the "OMG 900 foot waves is a-comin tomorrow unless you buy a Prius RIGHT NOW" hysteria is shown to be shit.
Addicts in the USA avoid AA-like treatment, because the Supreme Court has ruled that group therapy is not covered by privilege, and police have sent undercovers posing as addicts to group treatment to hear the "confessions".
Societies attitude is wrong. Addiction is a disease, not a crime. We should be treating those who want to be treated, instead of threatening them with jail.
If anybody truly enjoys being an addict, let them go ahead on. Most want help, but it isn't available to them. Confessing a felony is a scary thing to have to do.
You get a digital "channel" assigned to your box, then the box tunes that channel, thats how you recieve your VOD. There's a crazy huge lag time ff/rw'ing.
With the digital tuner in my Bravia, I can pick up folks VOD feeds. It sure seems like a cheaper way of doing it.
I don't really see a big issue with an ISP using P2P inside their own 'net, though, if they have the space to do it without interfering with 'da net.
Online video is becoming too big for them to get away with it, whether they want to or not. This time the entertainment lobby will fight our battle for us.
If they can buy copyright extensions, then they will surely buy us a measly "net neutrality" act, as soon as they realize it means "way to sell you the same crap, but with negligible overhead".
You failed to mention that that McDonald is *the* McDonald, Lord McDonald, by Royal proclamation, with hundereds of years of precedent. Royal charters still trump everything in the UK.
On one hand, "haha McDonalds", and on the other hand, there are a lot of people still enjoying special priveleges, because their great-great-great-great-great grampa gave King Henry VIII a handjob back in the olden times.
The Province of Quebec sued them for having an apostraphe and the letter 's' on their signs. That's an english construct, it had to be "McDonald". Once again, on one hand "haha, McDonalds!", and on the other, godfuckingdamnit I hate Quebec so fucking much I had to move to the USA to stop hearing their racist rants.
One city? You do know that all the cities are interconnected, and the last time NYC went dark, there I was 4 hours by car away in Maryland without power.
It's about time the feds took an interest in upgrading our power grid.
This has shit all to do with 9/11, that's just media dipshittery.
Once it's banned, it's banned, even if you reverse the mod, it has a unique id in there.
the first gen had it on a prom that also used it as the HDD key, and you could buy the prom and matching HDD, to "unlock" your xbox by giving it a new ID.
It's better/easier in the long run to buy one for modding, one for xbox live.
So everything you said was irrelevant. My bad. I thought you were trying to add to the discussion, instead you were bragging about your (COMPLETELY LAME) car.
"SSSSttthaaanks.. I do my part for mother earth. (snifffff)"
People are all over themselves to replace their old car with a hybrid, and their old bulbs with compact flouro's, thanks to Al Gore's propoganda machine (here's some fun, watch his 'documentary' and count how many times he says "if")
By 2020 the technology may be mature enough that I'd own one. Until then, it's a way costlier option for many of us who save money by maintaining their own vehicles.
And I guarantee my well-maintained Mustang will get better mileage than the banged-up Prius' I already see running around on half-inflated tires, alignment way off, etc, etc..
Imagine if this was really about the environment, and people just realized if they properly cared for, and properly drove, the vehicle they have now - even a Hummer - these scary emissions of the deadly toxin CO2 would be *greatly* curbed. As in, reduced past any lame energy savings based on mercury lightbulbs.
But hey, if everyone jerks their knees hard enough..
I hope CVTs and other technologys destroy the hybrid over the next decade. The real fuel savings magic will happen in the transmission, not the motor.
I don't live in that city, neither does the large majority of the American population.
Why does the farmer in Oklahoma have to drive the same vehicle as the hippie in LA?
I don't think people realize that the USA is a big country. Bigger than what they've seen. Most people assume that their experience is the "norm", and fail to realize there is no "norm". Different people have different needs.
OT, I'd love to see the clown-car prius with 5 guys and their bikes riding inside.
It wasn't "threatening a religion", it was "interfering with religion", which is basically just a rewording of "disturbing the peace".
Nothing here says what he's in jail for *now*. Likely, he didn't pay the fines or show up for court for the original (misdemeanor) charges, and has now gotten himself in *deeper shit*.
Which is what happens when you do that. A 20 dollar unpaid parking ticket can turn into jail time, once you start pissing off the courts.
Using this type of technology for SWAT in a hostage situation could very well save lives.
Using this type of technology to make a "robot secretary" is pretty much a waste of time and effort to create a novelty toy for rich japanese executives.
show the layman two 22 year olds on xboxes playing halo 2 in rooms next to each other screaming profanities and acting like complete assholes while jacking off and eating cheesos
Slashdot Mirror
iPods were designed to be taken anally
Agreed. It's been 25 years, and I've probably slept through it that many times.
I still couldn't summarize the plot for you.
Like, I don't really know who Tron is and who Jeff Daniels was, etc.
As a life-long geek, I always felt like I *should* be able to like it, but never could.
Like he goes in the computer... to... do... huh?

No, it's not like that in Canada either.

This is FUD pure and simple.
Affecting windows systems, I'll buy that. They are CRAPPY SHIT FROM A BUTT, AM I RITE GUYS?!?!?! LOL MICRO$OFT
But we all know that it is TECHNICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for a Mac, or Linux machine to malfunction in any way, from any cause.
So like, seriously. Quit it with the FUD COMMANDOR TACO. We all know your a PAID MICRO$OFT A$$$$TROTURFROFER!
How about their own website www.ipcc.ch ?
They don't do "science", they don't do "research", they pick and choose from the body of published papers, and assemble these reports.
What do you think they do? Look who authored the report. I don't see any scientific credentials there.
Hell, read the report, or even the summary for lawmakers. See how often the words "could" and "if" are used.
If monkeys could fly, etc blah blah blah.
The UN is corrupt from the bottom up, and I don't trust this arm of it. They have an agenda - to "prove" climate change is real.
It's pretty common knowledge that the IPCC writes its summary first, then goes looking for "data" that supports it, and ignores all research to the contrary.

There's more to weather than temperature.
I do believe they plan to bury the lines to protect them from the much more damaging force of wind.
Or whatever, the government is doing it so it's dumb I guess.
One city? You do know that all the cities are interconnected, and the last time NYC went dark, there I was 4 hours by car away in Maryland without power.

How is it you're so sure that the boiling point of LN2 is the same as the 'superconducting' point of the cable?
If the goal is to get technology to kids in developing nations, do we care who does it?
If Intel can pull it off cheaper, should I feel bad for Negroponte?
If this is truly altruistic work, then he should embrace Intel's commitment, and try to work together.
If this is for-profit capitalism, merely disguised as charity, then may the best man win.
how dare you disagree with me!

There is nothing nefarious or evil about the phrase "data mining". It's just trolls who try to attach some sort of negative connotation to it.
Don't take it as an insult, but as a compliment.

Sun still exists?
how stupid do you think "laymans" are?
show the layman two 22 year olds on xboxes playing halo 2 in rooms next to each other screaming profanities and acting like complete assholes while jacking off and eating cheesos
then say the internet is that x 2 billion
