    wait for the jinke V2, it closes like a book to protect the screen and yes, it runs linux.

    someone was asleep at the switch during the entire "designing" of windows networking and network discovery.

    there is no excuse for an unavailable network drive to hand the entire interface while windows figures out that the machine it wants is off.

    if you are saving less than an hour by plaigerizing, it's not worth it anyways

    Let me preface this by saying that I don't know the full extent of IP law

    the rest of your post makes that very clear

    if you plaigerize and don't spend at least an hour chopping and rewording the document you are a failure at cheating.

    employement requires compensation. if the school used such an argument the student should simply cede the case, then turn around and sue the school for back wages at $5.15 an hour for the entire amount of time they have spent in school or working on homework.

    ethanol is a waste, to fill up an SUV it takes enough ethanol to feed a family for a year with the grain instead of turning it to ethanol, and using corn ethanol you burn more petroleum making the corn than you get in ethanol out of it

    if you get that many colors of cable it's even easier, 5 colors and five to a bundle mean you just need to trace the bundle

  10. Re:Let Wal-Mart Go on Wal-Mart Threatens Studios Over iTunes Sales · · Score: 1

    target and costco have already beat walmart, walmart just doesn't know it yet. like the end of the roman empire walmart is quite hollow. by relying on the race to the bottom, they have stimulated demand for quality goods from other stores, since walmart dominates the "cheap shit" market so well, nobody else can do well in that market. however medium and high quality goods can easilly compete with cheap goods when factoring in multiple replacements, inferior functionality, and the loss of functionality in between losses.

    something similar is getting them on the employment side. by being so notorious for bad wages, bad benefits, and bad treatment of workers they end up mostly with the lowest quality workers around and their drug testing policy hurts them in hiring high school and college students who do drugs, but also do good work.

    walmart has been racing to the bottom for quite some time, and things will get quite messy once they finally hit the bottom.

    the MPAA likes power, i would be suprised if they backed down simply because they do enjoy having power, and it's ahrd to have much power once you are walmart's peg boy.

  12. Re:Look at what you get for the price on Low-End PS3 Comes with HDMI, Cheaper in Japan · · Score: 1

    the fact that you can buy an HD-DVD player for $332 (just check froogle), which is much cheaper than the PS3 makes me question every other "fact" you bring up.

    the only question now is whether you are an astroturfer or a fanboy.

    those cheaper units all had bad reviews, either unreliable or slow, or very noisy.

    that looks absolutely perfect for my NAS i have been planning to set up, it costs about the same as any other NAS unit and it's functions are only limited by what linux can do.

  22. Re:Isnt "for profit charity" an oxymoron? on Google.org, a For-Profit Charity · · Score: 1

    you do realize that non-profit cahrities have significant restrictions on their activities, and if the organizaiton does not need the financial benefits of being tax-free there is no reason to go that way.

    if google.org was to, for example own n important patent on new automotive technology they could use the money to expand while doing other charity work rather than tiptoeing around a maze of federal regulations

    aside from being factually incorrect

    the movie didn't portray any muslems, the "christians" were a political group exploiting religion to gain power, hardly a christian-specific thing.

    homosexuality wasn't a major theme and where it was used, it was mostly in a "insert opressed group here" manner that wasn't really specific to homosexuals in a meaningful way. the lesbian couple could have been replaced with opression of interracial relationships, interfaith relationships, or interclass relationships without seriously altering the storyline.
