"The worst part may be that Apple is charging people to download these new higher resolution videos even if they've already purchased the original, so people are essentially paying for nothing"
Weren't they doing that when they paid for the original?
Seems like the most important thing to you is playing games. If that is the case, why buy a Linux based laptop? Why dont you apply the same criticism to the OS.
I've got no problem with unions. They've helped keep corporations honest and done a lot of good for workers in America. We just don't need a union for programmers (but that's a different discussion).
I disagree, this has everything to do with the discussion, because the H1-B holders are in fact driving down wages.
I wasn't saying that old group back in 1986 were like communists... they actually were! They handed out union literature and communist literature at the same time! I also don't have any problem with communism when practiced voluntarily, rather than forced on people.
Is that your opinion or did this literature actually use the word Communism or any of its derivatives?
These "Communists" fought a war in WV during 1921 so you would not have a corporate slave. If it were not for these "Communists" (I believe Socialist would be a better term) we would all be working 100 hrs per week for worthless pieces of script to be spent in the company store where prices were much higher than they would be in a normal store. These so called "Communist" picketers are only exercising there right to free speech that seems to upset you. Who is the real Communist?
The sound man for AC/DC rode his bike five miles to the store where I work to get a zip drive, but got the wrong kind. He called back and gave us two tickets and back stage passes to bring him the correct drive.
I noticed that even before the political stories broke there was a surge in searches. This would be a good tool to predict when the next big political scandel will break and who will be involved. I wonder if google could be used to predict finacial trends.
Would these companies prefer there not be search engines to "make money off there copywritten material"? I seems to me like it's a symbiotic relationship, because without the search engines no one would be able to find anything, and without sell ads with the search results the search engine companies would not be able to stay in business.
On an unrelated note does anyone else think the new version of Firefox sucks?
It's worth noting that each scenario consists of only desktop applications, and it'd still be interesting to see some common server benchmarks, such as a database or web server.

I wish Paris would have been first so I wouldn't have had to read the whole article.

I just destroyed the whole world in my mind.
Why does anyone report on DNF other than its never going to be released?
and not killing people in fiery laptop-related explosions
Seems like Dell is taking all the blame for Sony's problem. http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33 926
The VLK that are in use by some of my customers will not work on an OEM Windows XP Pro CD, they require a Volume Licence CD.

I have a 400GB Seagate SATA hard drive and it gets no where near 100MB/s, what kind of hard drive are you planning on using?
Why are these cards not PCI Express? Most anyone who would buy one of these would have a motherboard with PCI Express slots.
How is this off topic? The title is "Creative uses for whisky bottles", not "What stupid object can I stick a computer in?".

Whisky bottles also make good bongs.
Why do so many of you feel the need to insult West Virginia? The majority of you have never even been here. You know nothing about us.

Most people who would reinstall everything as soon as they got the computer would probably go ahead and build their own.
Anandtech has an article up that should be a little more reliable.
I learned a long time ago to take what firingsquad says with a grain of salt, because of stuff like this.

Why use GPS to sense the car speed? It would be much cheaper and easier to use the speedometer.
Hippies suck.

Shouldn't it be called Moore's Theory since a Law is proven without a doubt to be fact?
