My point is that it's an awfully short list of countries who spend more, and it certainly means that the US would be included in any list of countries that spend over the top when it comes to military hardware. Funnily enough, it's also a good summary of countries with long records of severe human rights abuses.
a) accelerate to 10mph above the speed limit into to escape unscathed or b) keep a legal speed and die
I should be penalised for having the common sense to go faster than the speed limit?
All laws can be flexed. This is why we have judges - to ensure the law is applied reasonably and to the spirit of the law, if not the letter. A mindless automaton handing out penalties for speeding is not only unfair, but more importantly, fosters a culture of disrespect for the law, which will spread to realms outside of motoring.
I would have thought detailed information on how consumers view the machinations of evil corporations marketing departments would be vital to a nerd trying their best to do The Right Thing, i.e. stopping the rot before it takes hold.
The hot topic around computers right now is politics. Whether you get bound or gagged by DRM, legislation and software patents, or allowed to live free in a bountious field of quality products depends on how you play the game. No one won by being logical, truthful, and right - it's all in how you play the game.
Unfortunately, though, it's not really a next generation codec. The underlying algorithms are all rather aged. Admittedly, so are MPEG-4s, but it'd be better for the open source movement to put their weight behind something both free and with a real future, rather than something already showing it's wrinkles. With it's large archive of content, and it's fingers in the DVB pies, the BBC is in an excellent position to push Dirac to the forefront.
Surely Apple's been in the game long enough that they've got something in their IP portfolio to sting AT&T with, and thus enter a cross licensing deal, rather than licensing it straight out?
No, the first oppression I have to deal with is being pelted with half bricks and otherwise abused by the local kids, simply because they saw me kiss my girlfriend as I wished her a good commute to work. Then, after a whole host of other, similar, acts of oppression that have to be over come, there's being unable to marry, unable to have anyone I care about be my next of kin, being unable to adopt, etc. Then, of course, there's one more form of oppression I have to overcome become I deal with before I deal with my own fascist tendencies. That's oppression from overbearing fuckwits who think their right to be a cunt to all and sundry over rides anyone elses right to have the opportunity of a happy and quiet life.
I have a very good idea of what bigotry is, thank you very much. When your idea of what oppression means has extended beyond merely an arm chair theory, maybe you'll be able to free yourself from the "oppression" of being a blithering idiot.

Except that you don't do that to load up an iPod.
This is what I do to sync my iPod:
1) Plug it in
2) Wait until it says I can unplug it
3) Unplug it
That is the level of ease of use Samsung need if they're to kill it.
Of the vast number of countries out there, 36 is a short list.
Veyr good - if you're a geek.
If, on the other hand, you're Joe Q. Public, then it will seem like a nightmare to use compared to an iPod.
The reason the iPod is so wildly successful is because it doesn't just cater to geeks. Until Samsung realises that, they'll never kill it.

No video. Less easy to use transfer software. Lame.
Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, Singapore, China, Greece, Chile, Egypt
What a prestigious list of first world countries for the USA to be counted among. I bet you're all very proud.
I seem to remember the original issue with RAM was tracked down to radioisotopes in the ceramic cases decaying.
I reckon Starflight has a prior claim, even though it's a space RPG, and occurs during a galaxy wide apocalypse.
Unless you're talking electronic music, in which case the positional properties of the sound can be just as important as it's timbre.
More importantly, making it work is a violation of the DMCA/EUCD.
That was a rave. Similar to a game, but with more drugs.
Didn't you get the memo? An invention doesn't count until someone in the US does it! ;)
So, in a accident situation where my options are:
a) accelerate to 10mph above the speed limit into to escape unscathed
or
b) keep a legal speed and die

So what affect does it have on humans?
Glowing eyes. *sage nod*

More likely fuel AT&T Executive Yachts.
I guess Dirac's time has come.
Kefir - it contains almost exactly the right balance of the various types of good microbes.

Being homosexual, I'm well aware of whether it's a voluntary form of behaviour or not, and, regardless of your bigotry, I don't believe it is.
And if they set up a restaurant on their private property, they'd be able to refuse service to blacks?
Think your arguments through before you post them.
Yeah, because that works so well on the modern LCD meters commonly fitted to student housing in the UK...
After all that lot, how about this one?

Yeah, money's important, but if you're not having any fun, and merely working to survive, what's the point?
