I agree with bazorg, that's like saying you want a car but start adding all kinds of things to it so that you can use it as a truck. Just buy a truck instead.
Now, according to the usual MPAA calculations and the fact that petilions* of people will see that movie, they now must pay Louis Vuitton about 5 zetalions* dollars.
* The MPAA and RIAA aren't the only ones who can come up with stupid numbers.
Not only are those 25/50GB caps ridiculous, but that 2GB cap? What planet are those people living on?
You also forgot to mention the prices for going over the caps. Most Americans will think it's low enough to not care, when it fact it's probably something insane like 5$ per GB.
If heat is the number one factor, then I'm guessing 2.5" drives are more reliable. I have two 500GB on my desktop and they're powered via their USB cable.
I no longer trust Seagate since I lost a lot of data from using their drives as far back as a decade ago. My 2.5" 500GB external WD seems to be having no problem but I had their MyBookProEdition2 fail within a year, the damn thing was very noisy and overheated easily.
Lots of comments about bad Seagate and Western Digital HDDs.
So, what brand do you recommend, as of 2011-2012? What other companies is there? Toshiba? Samsung? Anyone care to comment on those?
And if you have a comment about drives failing, please mention if it's 3.5" or 2.5" drives, capacity, 4200/5400/7200/etc RPM and all.
Close Dell and return the money to the shareholders.

Dell Ditches Netbooks
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
Given that there's 15 inches laptops with higher specifications available for almost the same price, it's no wonder people aren't buying netbooks anymore.
He's talking about 1-3$ books and you're talking about 25$ orders. Do you really think people buy 20+ books per order?
The shipping cost is a factor, the delay to receive your books is another. FedEx, UPS or DHL, I don't care which carrier you choose, they can't beat "I'll start reading in 60 seconds".
Even weirder, I once bought a movie that had the HD-DVD version of the movie on one side, the DVD version on the other side and the CD audio soundtrack on the other side.

He wants an android for travel, not to park cars.
They better be, because I've never, ever seen any netbook for sale in Canada with anything else than 1 GiB RAM.
The only people with fucking jobs are porn actors.
A witch hunt is where you don't have any and you look for scapegoats anyway.
That'll teach you not to pirate movies!
Personal Computer crap?

A lot of them are made by Diebold.
CNCs made of LEGOs are much cooler. Especially this one.

That was the second goal of copyright when it was written. After a fixed period of time, art goes into the public domain.
How about Samuel L. Jackson?
You: check for new email.
Phone: Enough is enough! I have had it with this motherfucking spam on this motherfucking email account!
Do you really want that?
You: Where is the nearest pizza place?
Lwaxana Troi phone: The nearest one is 156 km away. How does that make you feel?

It seems to be fixed, I'm posting this from Safari.

Probably better than mining for fish.

I don't want to burn my books, you insensitive clod!
