By owning a gun you are declaring that at somepoint you intend to kill *something* (or someone).
Not true. Though a guns main purpose is for killing something, many people own guns for a different purpose. Many people buy cars but don't drive them. Though the car is designed to be driven, many are garage queens that are looked at as works of art. Similarly, guns can be used for other purposes like target shooting, or just plain collecting.
Galaxy Nexus outputs HD video over the USB connector using MHL. Either get a dongle that converts MHL to HDMI or use a receiving device that has MHL built in. There you go.
It's true. You can't buy a bookcase for cheaper than you can buy. What you can do is build a bookcase that is cheaper than buying one of the same quality.
I've noticed that in general it's cheaper to buy a new bookcase than to buy the wood to build your own of the same quality, _if_ you're that good - it's hard to match the precision with which even Ikea furniture is made.
No, it's really not.
Go try and buy a solid wood bookcase. Not plywood, just pure, solid wood. I'll give you a minute to get over the sticker shock. Cost of the hardwood to make one? Probably $300 at most. The bookcase will cost north of 5-10 times that much for the same thing.
So instead, you decide to go with plywood as it'll be a cheaper bookcase to buy. How much was it? What's the quality of the face veneers? Is it A-Grade ply, or something like C grade? You can get C-Grade plywood over at Home Depot pretty cheap.
From a wood standpoint, it is cheaper to buy the materials for the bookcase than it is to buy a bookcase of the same quality. But, you can buy a bookcase of lesser quality than the cost of the materials for a higher-end one.
I can't beat Ikea on price alone, but I could provide a much better price/quality than them.
Wood has gotten ridiculous? Out in the treeless desert, I can get maple for under $4 bd/ft. That's pretty cheap.
What kind of workbench are you after? 2x4's will make a fine workbench and will not be that expensive.
That Chinese drill motor with pneumatic hammer isn't going to be as nice and long-lasting as the one from DeWalt, but it's good enough for drilling a few holes to hang paintings or chisel old tiles off the bathroom wall, and it's only a hundred euros instead of 600 for a pro tool.
Umm....pretty much all the tools come from china man. Even DeWalts. And just because it's from China doesn't mean it's garbage. You can get good stuff from there, if you spec higher quality components.
I first heard from my step mom about a year ago, about the times on her summer where they would "pick rock". Going out in the morning, walking the fields, and....picking rock to keep from damaging the equipment.:)
I was a latch-key kid, and sure, I watched some TV. But we also ran around, rode bikes, played with legos, etc. And I'm not some old guy, I'm a child of the 80's.
Amen. I think the author is looking back with rose-colored glasses. In the "good ole days" people didn't repair their house because they knew how, they did it to save money. Unfortunately, a lot of people did it incorrectly, leading to situations such as yours. My wife and I bought a house last year and as we were looking through these homes I noticed so many repairs and renovations that were done poorly that I didn't even want to think about making an offer. Hell, if the stuff I could see was that bad, it makes me worry about the things I couldn't see.
Good ole festool, the neon-green siren. Really good stuff, but not worth it for the average joe. You did list the main exception, which is the track saw. Though, some other manufacturers have come out with similar products that will suffice, albeit only for a slight discount over the festool product.
No one I guess. But if you don't want to respect the content holders wishes, then you shouldn't expect anyone to respect your wishes regarding your property. If I want I can come take something of yours against your wishes and you shouldn't be raw about it.
This "agreement" that not everyone even agreed to (an agreement you didn't agree to doesn't actually exist) might not be just either.
If you are the original purchaser of said content, you have entered into that agreement. You don't want to enter into the agreement, don't buy it. It's their item that they are making available at their terms. If you don't want to agree to those terms, go somewhere else. Just because you don't like their terms doesn't give you the right do acquire it however you see fit. Everyone may agree that their terms are silly, but it's still their choice and should be respected. Otherwise, someone could likely say the same thing about you, if you were to be in a similar case.
Incidentally, I do fall on the side of supporting file sharing, as long as a person does not try to resell a person's music/software/etc for monetary gain.
So if the person watching your dog gave the sperm away for free, they didn't do it for monetary gain. So why not support the giving away of your dogs sperm? By participating in unauthorized file sharing, you are depriving the owners of that content from the market that desires what they have. There may only be a handful of people in this word interested in buying their content, but you still are affecting their ability to make money off of that content.
Agreed. This is not a bug. It is an unintended consequence of the choices they made. The API is syncing as you would expect. When an email address changes, it updates to change to the new address. What FB didn't realize was that when they defaulted everyone's email address to their own, that when their sync occurs, it would do exactly what they had expected it to do. Someone just didn't think that this would cause a problem when it trickled down.
Like most consumers are going to believe this. Of course, what right to they have to complain? FB is a free product and users willingly sign away every semblance of their privacy. Don't want to get burned? DON'T USE FB!
No, FB is NOT a free product. Facebook charges quite a bit for the privilege of your ads being displayed to users. The users are the product, not the customer.
No way, too soon. These guys are developing the cars for five years out right now. The tech isn't there. I predict closer to 15 years. Too many unknowns about insurance, liabilities, and legalities.

Vizio just came out with one. Looks pretty nice too
No it really isn't. Guns are designed to kill.
True

Not really. I can build a CNC machine for about $600 in parts. I can build a 3d printer for about the same.
Umm...it's already been removed from the Verizon version. That was one of the first ones to get the update in fact. It may not have yet rolled out, but its coming soon. http://www.droid-life.com/2012/07/20/verizon-galaxy-s3-receiving-update-to-vrlg1-includes-new-kernel-and-dumbed-down-search/

MHL can do 1080p. It's not a "standard" USB2.0 port. It is a compatible port, but has higher bandwidth capabilities for video.
It does? I guess I need to throw away my MHL adapter that I've been using to transmit video over the USB port, since you say it can't work.
It's true. You can't buy a bookcase for cheaper than you can buy. What you can do is build a bookcase that is cheaper than buying one of the same quality.
110V? If so, that should be quite a fond memory. Gives a nice little tickle and let's you know you are alive. 220V? Consider yourself lucky :)

I want to write an article with the following headline to throw the law into a paradox: "Is Betteridge's Law of Headlines true?" Bam, broken ;-)
Who decided that?
No one I guess. But if you don't want to respect the content holders wishes, then you shouldn't expect anyone to respect your wishes regarding your property. If I want I can come take something of yours against your wishes and you shouldn't be raw about it.
What, exactly were you deprived of?
The ability to control how my content is distributed
Not all laws are just
Only the ones you don't agree with amirite?

Then buy a nexus device. That's really your only option.
