video playback doesn't work quite right, bluetooth doesn't work quite right, but both of them work. By late april it should be a clear winner, and that will make the decision much easier.
And people on here wonder why the general populous just wants an iPad.
I'm in the same boat. I go back and catch up on old series with Netflix. But Dr. Who is just intimidating.
For example, my current series is Smallville. I've done 9 1/2 seasons in about 4 months. I'm going to try and time the finale with the actual shows finale. I did DS9 in 6 months. All of SG-1 in 10.
But Dr. Who has 770 episodes. 770. That's one a day for 2 years.
"Free Speech" only applies TO THE GOVERNMENT. If the government tried to force Twitter to stop tweets about the war, that would be a free speech issue.
Here it is in the original text: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
I have no problem with people actually standing up for their rights, but people most people that do stand up have no clue what is going on.
A big news story from my alma mater was when the police tried to force a photographer to stop filming. THAT did violate his rights. Numerous people who defended the cop pointed to HIIPA. Which makes no sense what so ever. HIIPA only prevents providers from releasing *identifying information* about a patient. Asking someone getting medical care their name: No Violation. Asking the medic their name and getting it: Violation. Talking about a patient with another doctor using no identifying information: No violation. Talking about a patient with another doctor using identifying information: Violation.
NYT (company) asking Twitter (company) to stop something is no way shape or form a 'censorship' or 'freedom of speech' issue.
However, then the Reporters are wary of doing any reporting of anything negative of the sponsors.
Why Top Gear America will never gain traction like Top Gear UK (aside from the hosts sucking). They simply can't be critical of car companies in the same way without the car companies threatening to pull advertisements for the entire network.
And MMS. I love google voice. It's how things should work. If I'm on my computer, I can text anyone and read it on my computer. Voicemail I can listen to on my computer. The transcription will at least get me in the ball park on what the message was.
Our teacher would always have a "demo" if everyone was in their seats on time and quiet when the bell rang.
Some of the 'epic' ones I still remember: Coiled a gas tube through a beaker. Filled the beaker with liquid nitrogen, so then we had liquid natural gas (not sure what they run to chem labs). He lit the beaker on fire and then dumped it on the floor. It was like watching a bead of water skitter across a hot skillet, except it was on fire.
They also got 2 massive blocks of dry ice. Lit up magnesium and put it in the center. We then removed the dry ice and what was left was a solid chunk of carbon. Magnesium is so insistent on burning that it ripped the oxygen from the CO2 to sustain itself.
One day we went out to the football stands and he had a rig setup that would drop a bowling ball straight down just as another one shot off the side. Used to show shit falls just as fast even if it's moving sideways.
Virgin Mobile's pricing is on par with what we should be paying. $25 for unlimited data. 300 minutes. Prepaid no 10-20% more of extra fees or service charges.
Oooo. Wire tapping. Waste as many CPU cycles as you want intercepting my calls about grocery shopping, how your day went and what time we're meeting at the bar.
If I *really* wanted to kill the president, start thermonuclear war, blow up dirty bomb in New York City, funnel money to Al Qaeda, etc. I'd find much better means of communication.
There are dozens of 'free image sharing' websites. Pair that up with craigslist, steganography and some pgp and best of luck tracking all of that. If for nothing else the noise ratio is way too high.
So I plan on blowing something up. I take a stock photograph of a car and dump a pgp message into it. I post it to craigslist under something that doesn't exist. Like "Rare 1963 Ford Mustang" My friends know what to look for and maybe an area.
“Looting simply does not take place in Japan. I’m not even sure if there’s a word for it that is as clear in its implications as when we hear ‘looting,’" said Gregory Pflugfelder, director of the Donald Keene Center of Japanese Culture at Columbia University.
Japanese have “a sense of being first and foremost responsible to the community,” he said.
To Merry White, an anthropology professor at Boston University who studies Japanese culture , the real question is why looting and disorder exist in American society. She attributes it largely to social alienation and class gaps.
