Hmm, yes, ok. Guess I'll save my 10.1 for that (but I need to get a mini-whatever->standard HDMI for the 10.1. The Raspberry does this, guess I should have thought of Nexus/10.1 too. The Raspberry is actually easier, has ports you can put SD, kb and mouse into, as well as a standard HDMI.
3 - that socialism hasn't changed at all, or not significantly.
Fair enough. I don't agree, but whatever. That wasn't exactly clear by the context, which was some guy confusing Nazis with socialists.
And that modern socialists would prefer to deny their history, possibly for good reasons.
Sure. Nobody's proud of Stalin or the Khmer Rouge. You think the right like hearing about Fascism, Pinkerton's, or the abuses of the 19th and early-to-mid 20th centuries?
Probably they don't. And you'll likely be able to find me pointing that out, somewhere on the internet.
And that I'm not really interested in all the neo this and neo that labels that are thrown around in an attempt to obfuscate meaning.
Oh, come on - that was an easy one! You should have gotten that by context, if Joseph McCarthy didn't spring to mind. Wikipedia describes McCarthyism as "the practice of making accusations of disloyalty, subversion, or treason without proper regard for evidence," which is pretty spot-on for what I was meaning. If you weren't aware of McCarthy and the Anti-American Activities Committe, then you've got no grounds making claims about socialist history.
It seems to resonate a lot more with US citizens, of which I'm not. The rest of the world doesn't find it to be such a big deal. Yes, it happened, and it was bad, but really, worse things happened.

Why would you be caring about HDMI output from a tablet? I've got it on the Samsung 10.1 and haven't even considered using it, it certainly isn't a deal-breaker for the Nexus 7 (which I like better than the 10.1)
Number of viewers is a good point, but assume there's 5 channels, and none of them is broadcasting what that viewer really wants. Will he watch the least objectionable show (in his opinion) or switch off? Now increase it to 50, and one of them is the football match covering the team the viewer supports and actively wants to watch... I don't know, I watch little TV, I'm in the category of 'if it isn't what I wanted I'll switch off and go play something on the computer' - perhaps there's more that would stick with the TV. Increasing choice would tend to increase viewers, if they were like me. (probably too verbose, but it's 4:42 on a friday afternoon, and I'm too lazy a c*nt to edit it)
Re the driving, yes, rock, hard place, you between them. Workplaces are doing themselves a disservice by that behaviour, spreads the cold/flu around so everyone's below par in their performance.
Yikes! I just did a quick search and the highest looks like 85% alcohol (Pfeiffer Coldsore) http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/healthissues/1127525665.html
Don't know if this is by volume or whatever, but it sounds like it puts most beverages to shame.
re driving, the way you often feel with just a cold/flu, driving isn't such a good idea anyway.
Let's see because of the many gotchas that GPS knows about, that you don't from looking at a map. One way streets, streets that you cannot turn right (left for USA) into because there's a dividing strip stopping you, no right(left) turns at traffic lights. A good GPS will plan you a route that allows for this. Oh yes, lack of street posting is quite common, either not there, or vandalised. GPS can tell you that the road is blocked because of roadworks.
Yes, I haven't turned Slashdot's ads off either. Because they are often of interest. And unless I'm actively hiding, I browse whilst logged into google and get tuned ads, because I want google to tune itself as best it can to what I'm looking at. That said, adsense still gives me silly ads, but my not clicking on them is also a tuning.
There's not so much a limit on the number of channels a broadcaster can have with digital. (yes, there's still a limit, but they can have news, sports, movies channels from one broadcaster)
Somewhat correct. But 90% (for me, anyway) of the time I do a google search, I end that search by clicking through to one or more of the sites Google found for me. Perhaps 2% of the time, this is an ad or sponsored site.

Hmm, length, radius, circumference, diameter? :) Radius wouldn't be bad.

Doesn't even have HFCS here. Cane sugar. Sugar is sugar, its still bad news.
You're assuming they have a phone there?
I suspect you're not aware that DPRK stands for "Democratic People's Replic of Korea". Ask a North Korean who he voted for in the last election.
Just because the name Nazi has "Socialist" in it doesn't mean the Nazi movement was in any way "socialist" as the term is used today. From Wikipedia:
Or perhaps it means today's socialists are as busy re-writing history as the Nazi movement was.
Until Google sue Apple for copying the Nexus 7. I really hope they do, after Apple's behaviour.
Pretend that you're in the USA and you can. Worked for me in Australia

Hmmm, move to Australia :) If you do it real soon, it'll still be beer-oclock

How much cough medicine are you drinking to get a DUI? (Stands up) Hello, I'm Mike Smith, and I have a ... (cough) ... medicine problem.
Decapitation? That's a pretty severe sentence for texting whilst driving. A life ban on driving would have been sufficient.

Diesel volkswagon? Really? Who needs ads when I've got Slashdot and you. (no, I'm not being sarcastic, it kind of interests me)
Why should they have to? Apple and Samsung should be paying for the juries salary. Not the winning party, the initiating party.

You are mistaking the greater majority of /. readers for people who care about compensating dead-tree media owners.
The German government want Google to *PAY* for advertising German news sites? Do they want to make the G in PIIGS a double G?
