    Why pay 70$+ per month when you don't use it enough to justify the cost?

  2. Re:Galaxy S PDA on When Should I Buy an Android Tablet? · · Score: 1

    Some people do want/need the bigger screen, the older you get and the more useless small screens become, even those with a very high resolution.

    I always thought something was fundamentally wrong with the universe.

    It may be the right one, but I still don't understand how "42" is supposed to help me.

    BEDEVERE: How do you know she is a witch?

    Is this film was made today, you'd see men in black enter the room in the hacker scene and confiscate his bubble gum wrapper as a DRM circumvention tool, followed by outlawing the use of zeros and ones.

    I ready that as "How do these fly if they are made of bread?"

    Not to mention that they'll need to do both male and female helicopter models.

  9. Re:Unlikely to be the reason for the datacenter on Apple Creating Cloud-Based Mac? · · Score: 1

    Stop looking at the raw numbers and read my post again. Maybe you're too young to remember, but computers used to be 640x480 and even lower when people first started using windowed operating systems.

    And if you see the pixels in your 52" display it's because you're sitting way too close to it. Ever seen the interface from the new AppleTV?

    An Apple computer for your TV. Only 99$USD.

    Before anyone points to previous failed attempts, remember that televisions weren't the HD displays they are today.

    And before anyone else points that HD TVs aren't anywhere near the resolution of current computer displays, they're still higher resolution than what we used to have and higher than the iPhone 4 or iPad.

  13. Re:I want one! on MIT Media Lab Researcher Prints Playable Flute · · Score: 1

    It is a notable achievement that we can conceive of a 3-D object and have it printed that day, but this story is more flash than substance.

    And most people on Slashdot hate flash.

  14. Re:I have an idea... on Rushkoff Proposes We Fork the Internet · · Score: 5, Informative

    Newsflash:
    1. not everyone has a choice between providers.
    2. even with different providers, sometimes they themselves have to go through one of the big one, which filters even those connections.

    The Mac mini has been dual-core since early 2006.

    You're either trolling or looking at it the wrong way.

    More efficient software means we could probably run tomorrow's software with yesterday's hardware.

    Instead, because of bloat, we're stuck running yesterday's software with tomorrow's hardware.

    When put in the mobile context, it also means shorter battery life.

    just block Italy completely, and wait until Berlusconi gets thrown out of the country.

    And to make the joke complete, make sure someone gets that on video and then upload it to YouTube.

    Maybe, but you better be careful. If one Dominos restaurant ever goes down, they will all follow very quickly.

  23. Re:Pretty much completely infeasible. on YouTube Legally Considered a TV Station In Italy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I never understood how governments allow such conflict of interest... if you're a politician, your job is politics. Owning companies should make you ineligible to work in politics in the first place, or there should at least be requirements to occupy a function that's completely unrelated to the companies you own.

  24. Re:Pretty much completely infeasible. on YouTube Legally Considered a TV Station In Italy · · Score: 1

    And to help everyone in Italy, Google needs to have the proper address, phone, fax and email information for Berlusconi displayed on the same explanation page. He works in politics, those informations are not private, quite the contrary.

  25. Re:Italy won't get any more of my money. on YouTube Legally Considered a TV Station In Italy · · Score: 1

    Unless that guy owns all the companies which made the products you listed, you will only punish Italian companies and Italian workers because of one clueless politician.
