The problem is of course that most downloaders also upload and hence break the law due to the technology used. And if it wasn't used download speeds would suck.
Here in Sweden we also pay a fee for being allowed to privately copy things for external harddrives, flash memory and MP3 players. But of course more or less no-one copies things that way. The Internet is the easy way to fetch your copy.
Even more so with all the DRM I think it's rather easy to argue that the industry doesn't even let me copy things since they are preventing it so why should I have to pay for something they don't let me do?
Not that I get why you should pay a fee at random anyway. It's not like the value of 1 TB of MP3s is the same as 1 TB of perfect blurayrips for instance.
Posting as myself since AC would be lame and I can stand for it:
So the brand of the tards can single handely destroy the worlds biggest mobile maker by ridicilous patent claims?
Awesome.
As if there wasn't reason enough to think bad about the people buying Apple products. Or the actual Apple products. Or Apple.
In all honesty though I assume they could raise their prices to afford paying for this or proper licenses, eventually losing part of their position on the market but if that's how it should be then fine. Maybe they had gained too much of the market by not paying for the "technologies" they used. I don't even know what patents and methods they have broken/used unlicensed.
For all I care we could drop patents completely. If that lead to no will to develop future technology in some field then I guess you'd just have to do it collectively and for the benefit of everyone through universities, research funds/prizes/taxes/...
it's reasonable to conclude that, regardless of password, if your luggage has a lock on it, it's meant to be private
It had a fucking password in this case. Sure you may accidently notice that the device exist. But if it's not yours you've got no business connecting to it. Password or not, stupid password or not.
It's not very hard to understand. Whatever it's a door, luggage och Internet connected device.
Couldn't you pay a little extra to get rid of the ads?
In that case that's a non-issue.
As far as media goes personally I'd opt for NAS at home and connect over the network anyway.
(Yeah, I know about bandwidth requirements and limits for network traffic. Guess it depends on what service provider and deals you can get. Just seem more convenient and better to me.)
I read it as Windows 8 was first to get it but Linux prople had been working on getting it since 2007. Not that it was the first Windows version which had gotten it and Linux have had it for long.
People say performance per watt all the time even though all they compare is watt it seems. That's why.
Also no, Tegra 3 isn't very fast. Same webpage had a comparision of Lenovos "fatblet" (laptop with swivel screen) and I think it was about 8 times faster than the iPad 2 or something such? Don't remember. I think it had a 35 watt model though whereas some Samsung one in the same test had a 17 watt one.
"It doesn't use as little power when idle!" might not matter so much since the battery life when idle is likely good in both cases, and if it's much quicker with the same load it's unlikely to max the power consumtion. It could if it did things the slower processor couldn't but yeah, so what? Running the same task for the slower processor would take longer time and hence use up more power to.
Considering someone mentioned display power consumtion running slower and for a longer time with more display power drain may even end up using up more power for the same task.
Speed isn't uninteresting imho. And to talk about performance per watt without caring about performance is just wrong.
Add laggy and disapperaring(?) mouse pointer in there to.
I know there's different ways which may improve interaction, audio and real-time performance of Linux. It's not amazingly good in my distribution (openSUSE 12.2, Linux 3.4.6) by default at least
The point is if you're going to complain on Windows look where you are yourself.
Feel free to throw in the amazing (not) user interfaces of many KDE applications. 90 degree rotated text on tabs, awesome idea! Panels, buttons, menus, file-trees all over.
Rather off-topic considering this is about an Intel processor and not Windows though.
I don't get the point. Should this read in front of?
Don't know whatever to read it as sarcasm or not.
This isn't the right site to mention it but if you're going to be so negative about Windows then I'd like to offer two seconds of though:
Windows is behind Linux
"It didn't get a decent GUI until"... think for yourself, what may my point be? "Didn't get decent preemptive-multitasking"... snap, crackle and pop.. It's how my media player sometimes sound in KDE when under load.. "Didn't have a web browser until 1996" Some people have argued that shouldn't be part of the OS, especially not in Windows.
I don't need to say much considering what it's compared to. If it actually was AmigaOS, OS X or BeOS then fine. Maybe there was a point.
I've thrown my Ericsson z300i from inside the living room through the hall into the furtest wall of the bed room hitting the bed head board denting it.
I wouldn't try that with an iPhone (or any expensive smart phone.)
I don't know if gasoline is much more expensive but if the economy was allowed to survive on the money which was actually available in the system, take loses, clean out the burden and debt and so on demand wouid decresase and with that so would the price.
Now the stimulus and additional debt keep things going anyway at a higher rate than it would otherwise had done.
As far as dollar printing goes though the SEK is way stronger against the dollar than it was before QE 1, 2 and 3 so yes, it doesn't affect us as much as you americans.
And by the FEDs inflation measurement (which is to a big extent measured against prices within the country?) your inflation isn't that high because they want to separate the price of real raw material, energy and such from their inflation measurement.
In reality you're dumping your salaries and value of everything within the country against the rest of the world.

Funny.
Was going to comment on scrollbars and see.. I looked to the right and there firefox have it. With one arrow at each edge of the slider .. :D
A Linux install is a kind of terror.
Not as evil as Solaris though.
US gov. comment: "This is no Linux installation! We're only letting them install alternative operating systems!"

Kinda cool if Apple did that:
"See, there's no profit to be made in the Android field and you can't do it without using our patents."
Stock down, Apple purchases.
"See, we're number one in Android. Take that Nokia! Bye everyone else."
stick a fork in Canonical
You want a Linux mint with that?

My first reaction was whatever it was a Chinese project.
(I still don't know and the website didn't explained what it was but I googled it instead.)
This is more better:

Duck and drink.
Thing is this isn't neither of ATI or Nvidia. They sources are released.
And well.. Obviously it doesn't work for them either and if everyone are doing it wrong maybe there's something wrong in the dist ;)

Amusing the other way around but totally wrong.

And it's how much faster than Tegra 3?
They won't or aren't leading performance / watt already?
Just not having as poor performance?
It's a question not a troll. And feel free to answer with future processors from both sides.
Except the iPad isn't expensive.
A Macbook Air or something such would be more accurate.
A Mac Pro even more so.
I've thrown my Ericsson z300i from inside the living room through the hall into the furtest wall of the bed room hitting the bed head board denting it.

Maybe they can handle it, maybe they don't =P
Facebook.
I don't care about the size of the iPhone since I don't want any anyway.
But my question is:
Do the galaxy S III really have 2 GB RAM? Here in Sweden to? I thought it was only 1?
Is it quad-core Exynos 4 here with 1 GB and something else in the US? You got a different CPU but more RAM maybe?
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9300_galaxy_s_iii-4238.php
Says 1 GB RAM.
I would had already bought it if it had 2 :/
Which one got which? Which one are the Swedish phones?
It likely does anyway.
I don't know if gasoline is much more expensive but if the economy was allowed to survive on the money which was actually available in the system, take loses, clean out the burden and debt and so on demand wouid decresase and with that so would the price.
Now the stimulus and additional debt keep things going anyway at a higher rate than it would otherwise had done.
As far as dollar printing goes though the SEK is way stronger against the dollar than it was before QE 1, 2 and 3 so yes, it doesn't affect us as much as you americans.

In reality you're dumping your salaries and value of everything within the country against the rest of the world.
sales a * price a vs sales b * price b.
Neither of those arguments say anything about that.
Also if the damn FED didn't printed trillions maybe your dollar would keep its value.
Like:
Is Zelda worth it and something you really should buy at $20?
Definitely.
Is it a better purchase than something like Angry Birds for $5?
Yes.
Is it something the iPhone doesn't and won't have in the near-term future?
Likely.
Would you rather play real console games on a real console rather than silly simplistic crap on a phone?
