Most laptops these days have an SD card reader built in anyway.
The only reason I bought another desktop was to get back into PC gaming. For photo editing, a laptop is fine. For gaming, overheating has always been an issue on any laptop I've tried. Either too slow, too hot, too noisy, or all of the above..
I'm happy with my tablet for browsing, checking mail, reading books and watching youtube. I'm happy with my laptop for work. I'm happy with my desktop for gaming and HTPC use. Some people can get away with just using one, but it shouldn't be thought of as an "us vs them" situation. Just use what you want and be happy.
And lol, I'm 76kg with probably under 10% body fat. I was out for 4 hours last Sunday doing Parkour (in the sunlight!), at the gym for a couple of hours tuesday evening, and more Parkour last night. So yes that part did bother me, but only because it was retardedly stereotypical.
I heard the name a few years ago. I just came here to point out that "an" is only to be used before words starting with a vowel, or at least a vowely sound:p You'd think an editor would have a better grasp of the English language..:/
You could have posted it yourself you know. Judging by the name I guess reddit is for people who view news stories like Pokemon ("gotta read em all!", "I read more random stories than you!"). Slashdot is fun because of the comments, not just the articles.
The pension plan is an investment fund. I'm not really the type who is interested in all that stuff, but I was given a choices of what funds I wanted to invest the pension into. Sorry if I'm confusing your teminology with something else.
Here in the UK that's apparently the legal minimum.
Signs of my employer being generous are that I get 7.5% of my salary paid into my pension plan. It was 5% last year, but they put it up this year for some reason.
I download shows now, and I feel good cheating cable companies out of revenue. I feel good. Why? Because their retarded content is destroying our society.
Good job, you genius motherfucker. Let all the idiots buy the crap, then download the stuff that apparently is good. That will really encourage them to improve.
Modern iOS loving fanboys aren't really the same as the original Apple fanboys IMO. Considering that I used to have Macs and play Marathon, and I've not felt any attraction to any of the iDevices. It's pretty cool that Apple did what I thought was the impossible and overtook MS, but I no longer really care what happens to them now.
Aleph 1 sounds pretty cool. I have too much other stuff to do right now, but if I get bored in a few months, I hope I remember this. Maybe it will even get me interested in modding again.
Yes, but your specification may have bugs, which is what I was saying. You can prove that it matches the specification, but that doesn't mean that it's bug free.
Hmm, my Kindle 3 does sort by most recently read by default, so you wouldn't even need to add that feature yourself!
The screen on mine cracked while it was in my bag last month, but they sent me a new one without even asking further questions, I was pretty chuffed with that.. had 2 months left on the warranty.
I think it may only populated if the other person has the log on their machine too. So if you both use new machines at the same time, you probably wouldn't get any history. Saying this because when using multiple machines recently, I didn't get logs updated unless the other person logged in.
Trolling aside, this experiment doesn't sound like it had a control group, ie a laptop with no wi-fi being held over your balls. Heat in that area is known to decrease fertility. The experiment as described in the summary has nothing to do with wi-fi.
I take it you missed the part of the comment you replied to that said they released the source for all of the Kindles? I can't think of anything I'd like to do with mine right now, but it is cool that I can mess about with it if I want. Porting nethack or something might be cool, since that's pretty well suited to an e-ink display.
Yeah I wondered why he was doing so much with 2D. Maybe because the input ability seems to only be in 2D right now.
If he had a more complex input interface with full 3D positioning, Iron Man style, that would be hella cool. Much more difficult to pull off properly though.
You completely misunderstand the religious mindset if you believe that this would be taken as anything other than a confirmation of their beliefs. They don't care how it works as long as someone else can take responsibility for their existence.

My 486 with 8MB of ram wasn't much slower at browsing pages of thumbnails.
That will be because of the HDD rather than your CPU/RAM being the bottleneck. Get an SSD if you want to speed that up.

As if it's not luck in charge when you make other investments. Even if you buy a house you have no idea what the market will do in 20 years.
You might want to read up on what whining is.

Another good option is you could stop being such a whiny little bitch.

The company isn't publicly owned. I didn't ask for the increase, nor does it come out of my wages.. so I'm pretty happy with it.

Proof: I get four weeks paid vacation.

It's strange to be being sarcastic to someone rebuffing your original post, as that implies that your whole first post was stupid..
Anybody who read the summary?

Or I should say, an appropriate sentence for publishing "inappropriate" sentences about inappropriate sentences.
You mean an appropriate sentence for publishing inappropriate sentences? :p
His point was answering "is this new?" with "no, it's not: [evidence]".

I think they meant "manipulate directly". I think the most impressive bit there was when he had a full 3D keyboard model up on the display.
