What's the speed/type of that RAM, what's the speed, number of cores, and last-level cache of the processor? What's the type (LCD? LED? Something else?) of the screen? What's the case made of? How long does the battery last? (the real time, not the marketing time, for either company), how much does it weigh, and how well does it fit in your backpack?
It's BS either way though. 17" laptops are for rubes. You can get nearly the same amount of performance out of (in apple's case 13") smaller machines, and still have a big screen when you need it: both machines, I assume, will output to a monitor somehow.
If you need $2-3k worth of processing power/screen capability, you need a desktop.
I know you want to sweeten the pot for the politicians a little with the "tax it" business, but please don't give them any ideas. Balancing out a good idea with a bad one is a terrible compromise.
Out here in the Northeast, the cops love them, too. Double the fines, and apparently there doesn't even need to be any evidence of actual construction occurring.
Traffic here is so closely spaced that I'm not even sure it's possible to be a "dumb driver" speeding through a construction zone. At least, not speeding any more than the rest of the traffic.
Up here, we have a "road tax lottery." The speed limits are way lower than the actual speed most people travel at, and the cops just pick off whoever they feel like, sometimes even people who deserve it, but you can't tell which is which just from passing the traffic stop.
You might want to head down to the local range/gun shop before you make a statement like that. Most of the guns you see there are going to be foreign made. The highest quality ones in the store are probably israeli or czech, even.
Perhaps, but those old shows were filmed, so were actually much higher than TV quality, which is one of the things that makes them bearable to watch. Also, even B&W on tape can have about twice the spacial resolution of its color counterparts...
A B&W TV with the same number of actual cells as a color HDTV would be freakin' awesome.
Ironically, the spiderman movies had serviceable plots, but were either filmed with noisy cameras or had "film grain" artificially added to the picture to make it seem more "real," ruining the benefits of having it on blu-ray in the first place....
I found the whole process of A Scanner Darkly to be melodramatic and underwhelming. Right down to the closest theater to me scheduled to have it being a four hour drive away, and then not showing it there, either.
Of course I didn't watch it. I wasn't in one of the "select markets" they showed it in before failing to actually roll it out to general audiences. And my general rule about buying things is that you only get five or six chances to sell something to me, and if you fail at that, and the other four or five sets of five or six chances, well, I'm not interested anymore.
On my 45 mile commute each way, the only cars I ever see in the bushes have red and blue lights bolted to the top, and everyone slows down by 10-20 mph when approaching one whether speeding or not. They're a real menace.
That's why it's better to claim to have saved peace. Preventing further conflict than what occurred. Why, if it weren't for me, it would've been much worse. Can I pick up my prize now?
Also, he never mentions checking the time stamp on that email that his staffer allegedly sent four days earlier. I'm sure the staffer had no ulterior motives at all to claim "the crappy network didn't deliver my memo on time, uh huh."
Still, are we speaking ill of the dead, or beating a dead horse, here?
Actually, I'd think it would properly fall under the purview of the secret service. Copyright violation being a kind of counterfeiting, after all. Now there's an agency with mission creep, if ever I saw one.
You should really use aptitude instead of apt-get, especially for installs. It's better at tracking down the vestigial requisites when removing things (if, that is, it was used to install them in the first place)
Yeah. It probably is something they can bargain with. Namely, it can be used to counter the claim that the people buying the machines are just wiping them to put pirated windows on.
constituents and others who establish a meaningful conversation by sending a verifiably non-nuisance message
Precisely. Then he can filter out the constituents he doesn't want to hear from and only listen to the ones with memberships at the yacht club, private jets for him to tool around in, choice seats at the <local sports team> or Opera house...
You might think you don't need ABS, but as another driver on the road, I'd prefer you had it. I'd prefer it a lot.
I don't care if you think you can pump the brakes well. ABS can pump them a lot faster, and it can do something you can't ever do without drastically changing the controls design: it can pump the brakes individually by wheel.
If the only danger was you sliding off a curve into a a tree or ravine after losing your steering, I'd say, "Go for it, we can always use less people." But it's not. There's also the danger of you not being able to avoid an accident with me, and I like being alive!.
Close, insofar as they stopped talking about the economic problems (and the wrongheaded keynsian buffoonery...). Not so much in that the economic problems ceased, or that it was their goal, though.
They hyped it up to sell the health care bill that no one had, at that time, actually read a significant fraction of.

Also, Apple is the victim here, having to suffer less competitive bids and/or lower quality suppliers.
Your car didn't cause any injuries, though. I'm willing to bet that the idiot who rammed into your vacant car wan't driving a parked car.
Ok, now..

you can put the water in a boat. Boats are much more efficient cargo carriers anyway.
Of course, if that boat full of water should sink on it's way, you can imagine the jokes....
Perhaps it could've been DOSing the other, more critical systems.
It did fail safe. It didn't let the car even start. "Parked" is about as safe as you can get, for a car.

But.. how would you know? Its not like there's an FDA or DoA seal you can look for....
So, I take it in the UK, they don't have a road tax lottery?*
*What would you call it when the three sigmas of traffic are always** within 5% of 80mph where the speed limit is 65mph?
**Except in the direct view of the aforementioned red & blue lighted vehicles.
They made a reality show about Star Trek: DS9?
Perhaps, but those old shows were filmed, so were actually much higher than TV quality, which is one of the things that makes them bearable to watch. Also, even B&W on tape can have about twice the spacial resolution of its color counterparts...

Where do you live that a first class stamp is a quarter?
Or are you suggesting constituents should be sending postcards?

Please be considerate of your other drivers.
