Don't forget the extra software you have to purchase to have any realistic chance of making that cable work right. Connecting a mac to an HDMI set via DVI is a nightmare.
Doesn't seem so to me. Yes, there are fat people who eat a great deal but there are also fat people who don't and there are thin people who eat a great deal. There is also a correlation between eating and exercise.
The fact is that virtually all of us eat more than we need to.
The success of the iPhone has nothing to do with multi-touch as what little it brings to that device can be replaced with little consequence. Multi-touch is a buzzword, nothing more.
Talk all you want about old keyboards but don't imply that they evolved into the iPhone.
I would suggest you check out the storagereview.com review since they don't support the claims you are making. In applications benchmarks the margins are far, far less than 50%.
"After that happened to Dad a couple of times, he made damn sure that the patent apps and design specs left out crucial elements such that they'd eventually have to come back and buy it from his company."
So your Dad knowingly committed patent fraud? You must be very proud.
Not by any stretch of the imagination. The GPL strives to maintain the "freedom" of the code licensed under it. Furthermore, that is only in the context of the FSF's definition of freedom. In order to accomplish that goal, the GPL is deliberately more restrictive than other licenses.
"...and you sacrifice vertical resolution to get the widescreen."
No you don't. A widescreen is created by taking a normal screen and adding width to it. A 4:3 version of that 1920x1200 screen you refer to is 1600x1200. There's no loss in vertical resolution at all.
If you are comparing diagonal screen size then that's a different matter, but it's your failure to understand what's going on that's the problem. Widescreens do not inherently sacrifice vertical resolution.

"Moreover, most of the people driving them are driving them as status symbols."
I see. Jealousy is the real problem here. Where's your evidence that SUV owners talk more on their cellphones when driving than other car owners?
Lesser vehicle mass justifies lesser driver responsibility?
/.'ers aren't asked to make the real rules.
Fortunately,
I find it surprising that someone with such idiotic opinions can write so much.
same old shit

I meet more of these people regularly than I meet obese people. They aren't rare at all, in fact they are how the body is intended to be.
I wonder where you are that you would see obese people constantly and rarely see people who are lean.

BMI is a useless tool because it is so easily invalidated.
Nice bullshit post, AC.

Love to see the step-by-step for that one.
I'm sure Scott Peterson finds this hysterical; about as funny as your comment is insightful.
Of course there will be information. The government is the biggest stockpiler of the stuff.
Who's planning to commit a crime?
Wanting is not a crime.
How about electric heating?
your entire post is pathetic including the miserable disclaimer.

You apparently know nothing about RAID.

"Apple's real contribution with multitouch was to use just a little bit of it and integrate it well, but that's not patentable."
What is patentable will surprise you.
"It strives to be the most free."

"Apple cares about image, and it's image is "just works". They use an eula to spell it out, albeit in a nonbinding way."
Apple cares about profits and it's profits are undercut by low priced competitors.
Apple is in California. Microsoft isn't. World of difference.
