While the original Das Keyboard was, for the most part, a rebadged keyboard of high quality (with a logo that wasn't even on straight), this keyboard definitely stands on its own. Personally, I've never had a more pleasant typing experience than I've had with the new version. Not only is less force required to type quickly, but finding the home position is much easier because of the different feel of the 'f' and 'j' keys. This keyboard really feels like its its own product rather than a rebadge.
The only gripe I have is that it doesn't really feel that great for playing computer games because of the way it catches keypresses now. The original felt a lot better in that one case. So, I would definitely recommend using this for typing and something else for gaming.
How dare TiVo allow its users to digitally record and play back not only music, but music videos, without even paying the RIAA a dime! Not to mention the countless television shows, movies, and commercials that did not license their music to be played back whenever the viewer chooses. TiVo must burn!
If you would RTFA, you would realize that their goal is to create an innovative camera using a lens based on the design of an insect eye - not to help insects who have lost an eye...
I'm sure if there were plug-in support for downloading videos via bittorrent and then displaying them in-browser, it would have been considered along with the other sites...
...as it is already designed to tell you precisely what part of the e-mail is signed. Is there a more convenient way to handle GPG for e-mail than enigmail anyway?
Clearly you couldn't be bothered to read my statement to the end. I specifically said that some circumstances existed when one *should* ignore laws. Furthermore, law and morality need not correlate perfectly despite what you happen to think about the matter. Oh well, eh Glesga?
That is all good and well, but that is not the way one should act. One should generally follow laws even when they are imperfect. One should also work with the government to change any laws that are imperfect, which is what it sounds like the French are actually doing. There are few cases where it is reasonable to outright ignore laws (and I don't think it necessary to list them here).
Irony? I don't see what is unexpected about this. The PPC chips used in Apple computers weren't all that powerful relative to their new x86 chips. On the other hand, x86 computers are at least comparable in power to the IA64 architecture chips. Emulation of worse chips is easier than emulation of better ones... at least when it comes to real time performance.
Is a flash drive with a limited number of writes really so much worse than a hard disk with a theoretically unlimited number of writes but a platter that is quite likely to shatter within 5 years? At least you can get the data off the "dead" flash drive if your backups aren't 100% up-to-date.

One point to it that I could imagine is that two years from now, this post will still be here, but TFA might have moved or disappeared entirely.

Are you trying to tell me that the Daily Show is not a reliable source of information?!? o_O

If they did, we would have stopped hearing about their proceedings long ago.
Yeah, of course /all/ mac users are /completely/ safe and will /never/ need protection against viruses /ever/...
