Close! With Android, 2011 will finally be the year of Linux on the cell phone. The forte for Linux is embedded applications and servers. Desktop users are already trained to use Windows, so it doesn't matter how much technically "better" another OS is.
The satellite ISPs, Hughes and Blue Sky, both drop you back to dial-up speed if you exceed their daily bandwidth cap. Not sure about Comcast, but anyone selling shared bandwidth is going to eventually going to have to start charging more to customers who use more bandwidth, just like AT&T now does for iPhone data service.
I find that by through judicious use of the "Pause" button on the remote, I no longer have to confine my peeing, pooping, food preparation, dishwashing, laundry, "cigarette" (yeah, sure, it's tobacco) rolling, or finding of spaced out possessions to the integral multiple of 30-seconds long intervals imposed by the networks. Which means I can have a nice, relaxing bowel movement without having to worry about missing any action.
Yeah, but you've got to plan your viewing habits out well in advance. No "It's 3am, we're shitfaced, let's find a movie with lots of naked breasts in it" movie watching with Netflix... unless you planned on being drunk and bored well in advance!
How is that any different from the $33/month people are currently paying for cable TV? Oh, that's right -- this is "on demand", whereas most cable shows need to be TIVOed if you want to watch them on your own schedule. Plus, if you've got an ISP with bandwidth caps, don't even think about subscribing to this.
What's the best software out there to use to capture the video streamed by this service so that it can be released on bittorrent? (I suppose skipping over the ads would be too much to ask for.)
Easily 80% of surveys that went through my region were completely falsified, and the remaining 20% rarely matched the demographic they were supposed to be answering for.
Apple products do fail all the time, but Apple stores are actually fairly good about fixing the problem (they gave me a new battery when the old one crapped out even though the laptop was no longer under warranty.)
Why are we still using a ball or laser on a cable to point on a screen where we want to do stuff?
Because touch screens suck. You can't get the LCD and touch sensor in exactly the same plane, so they always suffer from parallax error. Also, many rodent based pointer are now wireless. However, since laser mice can be had for under $10 now, I don't understand why anybody would still be using a ball mouse. Many other pointing devices have been devised (e.g. a cylinder that rolls up and down and slides left and right, and an infrared reflector you can place on yourself to detect your movement). None have caught on, because repetitive strain injury inducing mice are good enough and what everybody is used to. (And yes, in my experience it is mice, not keyboard, that cause wrists to hurt... well, that _and_ excessive masturbation.)
You don't have to be on drugs to hallucinate. Fasting, sleep deprivation, and sensory deprivation can all trigger hallucinations, even in sane people, although I believe most of the people claiming to have had "religious experiences" probably were not sane. Once told, the original story gets passed on through oral folklore and gets elaborated over time, even if it the person who had the original experience retelling it many years later. (See the movie Big Fish for an example.) Even today, we have people who claim to have seen UFOs, but they have told the story so many times that they have induced memories based not on the actual event, but rather on the retelling. In short, the Wheel of Ezekiel should not be regarded as a accurate description of a real life event. The stories about the Garden of Eden, Noah's Ark, the Exodus, and the Battle of Jericho are not accurate descriptions of historical events either. In fact, the Bible contains multiple descriptions of some events which contradict each other, so they couldn't all be completely factual.
Sure, but then all your porn is in 30-second out takes, which leaves little room for clever dialog, plot development, character development, or artistic camera work!
Wait... am I the only one that actually watches these movies all the way to the end?
Speaking of "invoking a God", how does one explain the creation of the universe, an effect without a cause that seemingly violates the principle of causality, without use of the phrase "and then a miracle happens!"

The masterminds of the ring, Boris Badenov, Natasha Fatale, and Fearless Leader, are still at large.
Verizon FiOS claims to have "On Demand" too, but the free movies are crap, and the good movies cost more than renting the DVD.

...whatever people are watching nowadays? Uh, that would be YouTube
What is Demonoid's business model? How do they pay for their bandwidth and hosting?

Hiring a hitman was cheaper than reprinting all those newspapers!
If you place a statistician's head in ice and his feet in boiling water, then on the average he is quite comfortable!

You're just making those numbers up, aren't you?

I've got a desktop with the same problem. Sure, you can PUT 4GB in it, you just can't USE then entire 4GB!
...the school had overtaxed the machines by making them perform difficult math calculations.
Obviously designing the PC using the Barbie "Math is hard, let's go shopping" chip was a mistake!
