Or pre-pending E to things. Email I can deal with, but whenever people say things like e-commerce, or e-business I just want to punch them.
Back in the day, I hated it when people used email as a noun. When you e-mail something, you send an e-letter. Or, put another way, in real life you don't "send somebody a mail". To me, saying "send an email" sounded just as bad as "send a mail". I preferred to say "I'll email you" to get around this until common usage kicked in and the phrase no longer bothered me.
I don't think he means either of those. I think he's saying you can fold the screen in half, closing a book. That would be 180 degrees. Then you unfold it from the other side and it's magic.
An increase in SNR (which would help with both speed and coverage issues) does not necessarily require more power from both communicators. The base station could be made to transmit higher power and receive weaker signals (this could be accomplished using a higher gain antenna, which sounds like the ultimate effect of a MIMO scheme, although I admit that I'm mostly guessing).
"Today almost all commercial and private aircraft have transponders. Transponders send out radar signals encoded with information about an aircraft and its flight that other aircraft and air traffic controllers can use.

When, exactly, was the last time you saw a car for sale that was just that - a car? I don't want all this fancy radio, multiple gears, glove compartment... windows! Who needs windows?
How is this at all a different concept? Court orders certainly have the full backing of the law. It's the same branch of government -- the judiciary. It's a LAW that you must have insurance. If you break a LAW they make you pay a fine. Sometimes this fine goes to the government, sometimes elsewhere. These are not taxes, especially if the money goes to a third party.
Plus, there are plenty of regulations surrounding loans, insurance, etc.

Much like grocery store frequent shopper cards, having receipts checked when exiting a store, buying a car with GPS/OnStar installed
These are all bad examples because you can easily find companies that don't do these things. Frequent shopper cards may be commonplace in supermarket chains, but there are still plenty of independent markets out there. Unless you live in one of those towns that only has a Wal Mart and no other stores at all. Then you should pick a different city.
In this case, you are mandated to pay a third party. In other cases (such as civil suits) the government may mandate that you relinquish damages to another party. That is also clearly not a tax.
More like stupid you. Change your address to somewhere in Ohio... as long as you use online bill pay and statements, you're golden. Hmm, I just gave myself an idea. Stupid New York.

Exactly. I wonder when the last time this guy spent $300 on dirt. I think he paid too much.
Computer viruses are, however, quite cool. I guess those asshats who are researching fusion are jerks because the result could be used to kill.

Oh yeah, sarcasm detector. Thats real useful.
Actually in this case I don't think it was clear what you were saying. However, your right about you're other example you mentioned their.
Interesting. Does that mean that Staples is SOL?
