Does the mafia still control 80% of those "small businesses" like they used to? My brother in law used to work for a used car dealership until he realized how corrupt and controlled most of them were.
One, the 3,500-year-old Senator Tree in Florida, was burnt to the ground by some kids doing meth inside the hollow of the tree, despite it being fenced off and inside a park.
Despite? That's probably why they chose the place, unfortunately.
When I was young, I was very, very poor. Computers were not common. As I hit 5th~ grade or so, they started being quite common, and some teachers started giving bonus points or other advantages to people using computers.
I don't know how slow it is so I don't know if this is possible but what I'd love is the ability to defend my own street from zombies, help a team of my friends defend famous places, and stand outside and laugh while I don't defend my exgirlfriend's house.
I don't know about "true Australian" but I'd imagine that Australians would take the most pride in successful Australians who are not just citizens but whose genius could be argued is in part due to having been raised in Australia during most of their formative years. It would be dumb for Americans to point to Einstein's US citizenship as evidence of America's greatness or as an example of what great people America produces.
I don't know about the latest portables, but in the past Nintendo's offerings were always stronger than the competitors where it counts on the portable front: battery life.
I owned the Dreamcast and actually loved it. Quite a few really fun games for it. That said, their VMUs were tremendously underutilized. Granted, they were nothing like a tablet but they could have been much more. It wasn't never going to be the VMU that would make or break the Dreamcast, though. It's a much different situation compared to the Wii U
Of course, if you definition of 'art' is 'something that evokes and emotional response', then I guess it's art: it evokes a feeling of disgust and revoltion in me, I want to get it as far away from me (and my equipment) as possible.
We need to lump all these lawsuits together into one giant class action lawsuit. Then Google can award every android user a $10 coupon off their next android...or is it $10 off their next iphone?
Full disclosure: what I'm about to say is largely me playing devil's advocate because I personally don't have the ipad's storage likely wouldn't be much of an issue for me personally, but back when data was more expensive/scarce I could relate to what I believe the other poster is referring to.
I've found that transferring a large amount of data is a pain. Yeah, you can connect your ipad occasionally to your computer to swap out your media...but it's a pain and is unlikely to happen on a frequent basis. Most people are going to put their most viewed media on there and call it good until they get bored of it because it's just not worth the aggravation to figure out what you want for the next batch and wait for the transfer to occur.
So for long trips planned well in advance, you're right. SD cards don't really offer much over simply planning the huge chunk of what you're likely to listen to/watch and not have to hang on to sets of SD cards that you're unlikely to touch anyway.
Where SD cards can be nice is for shortish-medium length trips decided on the spur of the moment. You have to make a last minute trip into the city and you're going to have grumpy kids stuck in the car during traffic. You don't have to leave a bunch of kids movies/games on your ipad all the time in case of emergencies like this. You don't have to take time to transfer GBs of kids movies or take time to sort out which ones all the kids will agree on...just grab the Kids Movies (1 and 2) SDs and Kids Games SD and run. You might even leave those SDs in the kids' backpack and forget about it.
Your wife's heading out to something (doctor's office, business meeting, etc) where there's significant wait time involved? Toss her the Chick Flicks SD and the Enya Style Music SD and she'll thank you later. You don't have to keep those things on your tablet at all times and you don't have to spend time transferring GBs of data. Without the SDs you'll frequently find yourself deciding it's not worth your time and do without the sudden craving of media X. Especially when you still have quite a bit already stored on your tablet already. You'll just make do with what you've got and since it's your personal favorites, most of the time it won't feel like a huge sacrifice. But over time you may find you've missesd out on a lot compared to Joe Schmo who has the flexibility of physical media.
Again, I think the size of portable drives nowadays make this issue relatively moot for people like me who don't have huge amounts of media anyway. That said, I imagine there's definitely people out there that have a large enough library with eclectic enough tastes that physical media is still valuable.

Is there a reason this was not released sooner? It seems like a lot of drama could have been reduced if this was released to the public much earlier.

We're way ahead here, I can blow through my cap in about 45 seconds!
That's what she said?

Wait...what? Why?
Yeah, I think what he said was, "One mouse button ought to be enough for anybody," ... oh wait.

Unless the store employee is equally oblivious and just leads them to the tablet section (perhaps to a rack of android tablets).

Any chance this greening will significantly reduce CO2 levels? Or are we seeing an equal or more reduction in green somewhere else?
They're pretty durable too. The kids throw them around, step on them, spill beverages and sometimes throw up on them.
Sometimes? Wait, how many times have your kids thrown up on them?
Maybe you should have them put aside the tablet for a sec and get them a bucket.
The enemy's gate is down.

>But it wouldn't be a cure, just a very effective lifelong treatment.
Why would any fat cat want to fund research for a cure? You can only sell those once.
Maybe they would want to fund research for a cure if they (or someone they loved more than money) were also infected?
And you thought bee venom was expensive? Just wait until you see the prices of HP 3D Printer Bee Venom Cartridges.
When this scenario plays out, I will gladly walk into and out of every store if I can expect a 10% off coupon for doing so.

Meet Power Glove, meet UForce?
Weird. I did a search for Poe's law on bing and it came up with zero results. I can't remember the last time I did a search and got zero results.
So where does that leave me. I'm a happily married father, and my father lives in my basement.
It leaves you liable when your father's kiddie-porn is discovered by the feds.
