I agree - in that i rarely would want to carry a separate video camera - i got it for the wife so she would have something to film our new born - and i wanted it to be as easy and simple as can be, which the Flip HD is perfect for.
the Flip HD is a very very nice camera - i bought one for the wife for xmass - mainly picked it over others because it was the simplest for her to use - power button and a big ass red button to start recording.
i have been surprisingly impressed with the video quality that it produces - it is excellent in low light *aka indoors dim*
on the flip side i have a 3GS - and i have been horridly underwhelmed in the quality of the camera on it.
before knocking the Flip - find someone who has one and try it out - i think you will be impressed with what you get for your money
i would assume that as ppi is pixels per inch - and that an inch as it is displayed to the "unaided eye" is relative to how close you put it to your eye, that it would be any distance.
There is a point where too close and you can't focus - sure you could use a magnifying glass BUT then it wouldn't be the "unaided eye".
exactly - modern tapes are only slow for random access - but backups and restores aren't random in nature.. they read a data stream in, write, and read it out.
LTO4 tapes are cheap for the space compared to HDD's.. my only problem is the cost of the drives..
don't get me wrong for any large setup the cost of the drives is nothing for long term - but we are a smaller setup and 6-8k for the drive is too much and the reduced cost of space going form HDD to tape won't make up the difference.
but if had a choice? - i'd love to hook up an LTO4-5 drive and use tapes - it would make my life easier i know that.
what we did for a bit was run leased lines and a lower quality SLA faster connection. Everything incoming (hosted services) where on the leased lines and all the office NAT traffic was on the faster connection with a pool fail-over to the leased lines..
it worked well - except it took constant monitoring because when the fast connection went down it never took the interface down - if i have a frame circuit die or even hiccup the interface and the router knows, i have a cable line get cut and the - the router has no idea as it's next hop is up..
we did this for 2 years.. and in the long run we axed it - went to the telecoms and let them price pitch against each other till we got what we wanted speed and cost wise.
around here the telecoms know for the small biz that the cheap people are eating their lunch.. so they have become very price competitive for leased lines.. fiber is still out of the ball park.
It's not unfair to expect that - but your expectation applies to both groups when the ones that are giving it for free claim that flaws like this only happen I'm closed enviroments when intact they pull things that are on the same level

A good little write up.
Sorry but i have to say that these are both on par with each other.. both have very large and bad effects.
one is close source the other is open source.
I will give you that you see things like this far more often in closed source.. but just because it is open source does NOT make it more secure.
And before you mention that that bug was fixed - give MS the same window of time Debian did to clean it up (that includes fixing code - distributing code - and migrating data from old to new)
but while liquefied is much higher density than gaseous - it still does not compare to normal Hydro carbons in energy per volume.
example
Gasoline = 34.2 MJ/L Liquid Hydrogen = 10.1 MJ/L
so right now you can get 35 mpg of Gasoline and most cars average around 300-350 miles a tank
so right now you have a 10 gallon tank if you where using Liquid Hydrogen you would need 10*(34.2/10.1) = 33.8 Gallons for the same range.. (equivalent energy potential by volumes)
now granted it would weight would be reduced (46.4/143) =.32 - so 1 third the weight even though your holding nearly 3 times the volume.. but it still is an issue..
sorry but while it might be possible to make a liquid hydrogen powered car.. i just don't see it happening.. fuel storage is too much of an issue.. let alone producing that much Hydrogen.
I personally like using it as i don't have to keep track of all my install CD's.. and i can have them installed on my laptop and desktop.. remove as i need space/
even for the net only and DRM part - Steam has put out notices in the past that in the event that the steam network was to go away they would push an update removing the need to auth on the client so that it wouldn't stop working..
now many people can argue that they say that but woln't do it BUT out of the different publishers and networks Steam seems to be the only one actually doing GOOD work - and i have YET to see them re-nig on something, and there for will give them the benefit of the doubt and my money - until they give me a reason not to.
the first few feet of land from the road is normally called an easement - while it is shown as part of your private lot it is actually government owned land - and gives them the ability to allow the power company and telecoms to put poles up and provide service without having to have each and every land owner sign off on it.
in very rare instances do people actually own the easement.. a few months ago found out that on one of my houses i actually did own it.. and the local township had to pay me to allow them to put a sidewalk in..
but it is very rare for people to own that few feet that the poles and lines are run on.
that is a great chart.. the optimal energy storage solution will be a 1x1.
example on that Aluminum has the most Per volume but very little for it's weight (not that bad really)
Hydrogen is on the far right.. it has a lot of energy per kg but very little per L - and you will notice that pressurization even liquefaction helps but not much. at least not compared to Gasoline or diesel.

I find this odd to as we have an HP 4600 - and it supports e-mail mailbox support..

so really not much choice there...
sadly i have to use HDD because i can't afford an LTO4-5 drive..
HDD's are sensitive to shock we all know that - so i put them in Silicon cases for storage in the bank vault

they work well and aren't expensive.

if you have a client that is worth a shit it works surprisingly well..

i've seen people use /dev/null as temp space.. as long as you don't lose your handle to the file it is still readable..

according to the link you posted
Most do.. when they are replaced - this is just a proof of concept and not an actual hey here use this release.

look at storage requirements

sorry but while it might be possible to make a liquid hydrogen powered car.. i just don't see it happening.. fuel storage is too much of an issue.. let alone producing that much Hydrogen.
oh i'm sure.. i was just pointing out that it is still an issue..
by weight it is still one of the best.
remember 1kg is going to be 1kg no mater the state Gas/compressed/liquid.
Its the density by volume it lacks so badly at.
Thanks - never was good at spelling, and the spell check was of zero help so i just made something people might understand in context..

Considering that is their largest user base at the moment.. it is relevant.

you weren't bothered with having to tether
iPhones can be tethered without Jail Breaking now. Have been able to for some time.
you make this claim.. please show proof?
i think what Wonko meant by pathetic energy density of hydrogen is NOT i'ts specific density which you listed.
Sure by weight/mass Hydrogen is one of the highest in energy density.. But take a look at the volume difference.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Energy_density.svg
that is a great chart.. the optimal energy storage solution will be a 1x1.
example on that Aluminum has the most Per volume but very little for it's weight (not that bad really)
