    What are you measuring 'cheap' against? Just initial asking price or time saved while its in use?

    The amazing turnaround you refer to is what is known as 'Steve Jobs'. Microsoft's cash injection was only a vote of confidence on their part and a way to be seen supporting another company during the time that the DoJ was giving their ass a once over to check for shit stains.

    I like the fact you worked out the $8000 in a breakdown and then asked if he eat lobster, because it could be a bit much and you shouldn't trust numbers alone. Pure class, well done on the common sense angle and you know that Lobster is overrated.

    I think you'll find Japan has found a solution to their population population (which is what we're effectively talking about, population decline) and that is to create Robots. What use will a child be then after I've bought the Crushinator?

    A scaremongering economist! Who are my enemies and why would I send my child to fight them? I don't want children (I'm 27), I wasn't aware having a child was an important responsibility to society. I owe it nothing and vice a versa.

  11. Re:Magpies are evil. on Magpies Are Self-Aware · · Score: 1

    Not exactly useful adaptations btw. Watch the video, you'll see what I mean. But here is what I mean anyway. The birds have sussed out how we live in cities and have adapted accordingly, they know when the street lights turn green and back to red, knowing what happens and how to feed themselves. While we on the other are ignorant of our effects on the environment. Watch the video trust me. All I'm doing is repeating what I watched. Actually thinking about it, if you read the book 'Four Arguments for the elimination of Television' they also argue that we haven't adapted to our environment. Read, watch and learn.

    This is for everyone but I'm replying to you. go to iTunes and look for a series of podcasts called 'Ted Talks'. There is one concerning magpies and how they have adapted to the human environment better than we have adapted to the world. They talk in particular that magpies can recognise individuals and attack them in revenge, the only way to avoid it is to wear a disguise. Even after a few years they can still pick you out if it is the same magpies.

    I am sure cats do. Sometimes if I face the mirror with my sisters cat behind me to the side and I call her, she doesn't look at the back of my head, she looks at the mirror eyeballing me!

  15. Re:It's odd going around with a SLR on Photographers Face Ejection Over Lenses · · Score: 1

    Don't let them worry you until they say something. Fuck them. That is my attitude and then when they do approach me I already know my rights and they have to leave. The best solution is to stay out there with the camera, the more we are visible the more they will get accustomed to it all. I'm always in my city taking pictures and I've been stopped twice by street security, now they don't bother me anymore because they know who I am and what I do and I know the law.

    Some museums will let you take pictures if you don't use flash and they will give you a photographers badge anyway on the condition you are a student and you won't use flash. So it isn't a big deal for me, maybe other people want to look into this?

    It think it might had something to do with the app being paid for via credit and then in some cases some people had bought it by accident and wanted a refund. Can you imagine repeated refunds for $999? That is how it seems via www.daringfireball.net.

  22. I think on New Study Finds Low Interest In Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    its a case of "too much too soon", the opposite of "too little too late". DVD is still relatively new so what point was there rushing Blue-Ray into the market when DVD could be upgraded when new breakthroughs were being made?

    A city from 5000 years ago isn't the same as it is now, much the same for the people who live in them. If a person was 5000 years old and had lived in the city and still acted like an asshat then I could under the initial reason for your point.
