Alright, here's a data point that might throw a monkeywrench into this situation... I have an ipod, still on 5.1.1, that I drive around all day connected to a verizon wifi hotspot thingy with a 3GB data plan. Usually, I download the couple of podcasts I listen to at home before work, but if I forget, I'll go ahead and download it out on the road, they run about 40 MB or so. The only other thing I do is a few emails, a few google searches, and the occasional look at facebook.
In the past, I would sometimes get the 50% usage email and chuckle because the cycle ended the next day.
Yesterday I got the warning that I've already used 1.5 GB since the 10th. Going onto verizon's site, it looks like I'm using 3-5 times more data than I would expect at approximately the times I would be listening to the podcasts.
Maybe unrelated? But I've literally never used data that fast in the 2+ years I've been doing this. Even when I first got on Pandora and really listened to it a lot, I didn't start getting data warnings until I was 2.5-3 weeks into the cycle..
So, TL;DR This might be a problem with the podcasts app or some other phenomenon unrelated to ios 6 per se.
I'm just putting it into and out of airplane mode for now, kind of a PITA though.
Say, could you link to a source for the 'laser-produced incandescents' you're talking about? I'm very interested. I agree with you on many of your points, and would add that I have yet to find a CFL that can be dimmed for crap. I've tried 3 different brands of very expensive bulbs marked 'dimmable', and brought each of them back to the store the same day.
I found this an interesting look at how labels treat their bands, and it kind of straddles the 'digital revolution'. It's a blog entry about an unrecouped band trying to get digital sales credited on their statement, to hilarious effect.
I always thought it looked like someone drowning. or surrendering.. you know

Hell, 3D barely maintains its status as a novelty in movie theaters,
actually, 3D is one of the only reasons to bother going to the theater vs. watching it from the comfort of my living room for a tenth the price. Some of the new 3D movies aren't too bad.
3D TV makes watching TV more complex and expensive without giving back much of value. The television is too casual a medium to complicate with shutter glasses. Until the free-standing 3D projector is invented, television should remain a 2D affair.
I agree with this.

You think libraries let you plug in Webcams and install drivers and talk and record video on site?
Of course not! Libraries will, if this kind of government participation becomes actually worthwhile, will install their own webcams and set them up for easy use by their patrons. Free of charge, because that's how they roll.
Maybe in your city. In my city, libraries get shut down because there's not enough money to keep them open and pay the teachers unions at the same time.
... Replace the women's rights pamphlet with a (non-explicit) circular defending paedophilia. Do you think our society would still protect your freedom of speech if you began circulating that? How long before they beat a confession out of you? Who's going to defend you?
Pedophilia is not the same thing as women's rights. Try replacing 'pedophilia' in your example with 'racism'...
Or, for those that think you have to pay for software in order for it to work, go over to an Apple store and try OS X. OS X is free now? I thought it was like $129 every 3 months, or however often it is that they release a service pack.
There are lots of problems with Windows. Daylight savings time just wasn't a big one. Tell that to everyone whose MCE2005 machines are recording everything an hour late despite showing the correct time in the system clock and the program guide. At least I discovered the problem in time to record Battlestar Galactica tonight.
look in the bottom right hand corner.
it's not where you'd expect a button to be, but then it's easy for MS design to suck.
I still have no idea what you're talking about. Look at this picture and tell me what it says on, below, or next to this magic skin-changing key you're talking about. I regularly use at least 22 of the buttons on that remote. I could probably do without the number pad and the 'live tv' button if I had to, but the button combinations required to get any functionality out of a 6 button remote are probably similar to trying to get the super ultra mega death combo out of your character in Mortal Kombat.
Well, for the record, my family probably averages one major-label cd purchase per year, not month.
What would you like me to subsidize for you next, pay-per-view wrestling? Subscriptions to Sky & Telescope and Cat Fancy for everyone? How about all those imported tentacle-rape Anime videos you hide from your wife behind your bookcase? I'll bet with just a modest increase in taxes, say, an extra 3% per year, all these wonderful luxuries could be free for all in unlimited quantities!
This might be a better idea! Plus, you can sneak it past the wife more easily!
Seriously, though, if you actually ran ducts to the attic or basement or outside or wherever, this might not be such a bad idea. You could even put the fans at the remote end of the duct to cut down on the noise. Dumping it straight into the wall cavity is about the 2nd most retarded idea I've heard all day, though.
That simply means that out of 1 of every 50,000 error will get through. Considering that the device is designed to transport 150 million bytes per second, that's not so impressive.
You're missing a variable in your statement. Errors/Byte tranmitted. Your argument is useless.

Dude, that's what the skip button is for!
Well, considering the Prius would probably need a couple of JATO bottles to reach 205 mph, I bet this thing still wins.

I think a big difference here is that DMX is talking about Hoes in general.
Imus was talking about someone's teenage daughter.

Which button is that, now? I can't find it.
It's easy to have a minimalistic remote when the software has minimalistic functionality.
TRS-80 emulator and a copy of Ahl's Basic Computer Games
(Actually, I typed that book into an IMSAI 8080, but the emulators you find for that are all about using the panel switches)

No Thanks. Pay for your own CDs.
So, you want my family of four to add $16 a month to our phone bill, so you can download all the Justin Timberlake you want?
Keep dreaming buddy.
