Yes you do. If you have an e-ticket, you must show ID to the airline before you can board.
That's a separate requirement from the TSA security lines.
Yes, a requirement that many airlines have dropped in the past 2 years or so. The last few times I've flown, they explicitly mentioned in the boarding announcement that photo ID is not required to board the plane.
Now, should Apple decide to apply DRM rules to items not purchased through them, specifically CDs you own, then I can see a real reason to cry about it.
Doesn't Windows Media Player do something like this by default? I don't really use the program, but I know there's the checkbox to "Acquire licenses for music I rip myself" or something like that that's enabled by default. Knowing MS, I've always interpreted it as "Apply DRM to my own music so I don't accidentally let someone else have it." Or am I totally off base here (entirely possible)?
Yes, Adobe did create it some twenty odd years ago when there was truly a need for a printer-accurate page description language. Creating your own version of it twenty years later is hardly necessary nor "innovative."
Mu guess? Probably longer than anyone is willing to wait. I realize that my original answer doesn't do much to refute your main point. I just find it interesting that the only HD-DVD box out there right now runs on an OS that most users can't use to even play regular DVDs.
And I think you may be sitting a bit far from the screen. The optimal viewing range for TVs is considered to be approx 2-2.5x the diagonal screen size. For your 55" screen, that's ~9-12 feet. For your friend's 32", it's about 6 feet.
Remember that Apple didn't actually manufacture the Pippin. The only company that signed on as a licensee and ever manufactured and sold the Pippin was Bandai, a Japanese toy company.
I realize your comment was sarcastic (hence the sarcasm tags). However, at the moment it's the rednecks who are supporting the change to a totalitarian state. Maybe this is what they meant when they said "The South will rise again." *shudder*
I'll let them put a camera in my bathroom as long as they also install an odor-transference device. If they're going to pretend to be in the bathroom with me, I want them to get the full effect.
Yep. Same here. I upgraded to AGP 8x when my friend gave me his "old" Radeon 9800. I don't particularly feel that the 9800 is all that old, but I can certainly understand it being considered old to some--it's two generations behind. My problem comes when TFA refers to midrange cards from the current generation as being "old."
From TFS: Don't throw away those old ATI video cards just yet.
From TFA: The third element that finishes the Boundless Gaming triangle is actually another Radeon X1600 or better being utilized as a physics processor or PPU.
Apparently someone's definition of "old" is drastically different from mine...
Yeah, it's a shame that they didn't mention that anywhere in TFA. It also would've helped if they ended their review with a sentence or two about which drives to look at and which ones to ignore if you need LightScribe.
TFA only compares 4 drives in their "roundup" (ExtremeTech calls it that--thankfully the submitter or editor changed it for the title here).
I tried posting a link to the printer-friendly version, but ExtremeTech doesn't seem to like people doing that. Gotta spread that 1 page article out over 9 pages, y'know...

I buy my products from Windows and XBox and Office. I like to diversify, it keeps me safer.
I guess this just means that there aren't Linux drivers for all those snazzy spytools that Lenovo's been putting in their machines...

Agreed. Nothing like a coupla breast tissues for when you've got the sniffles...
*insert joke about snorting coke of a hooker's breasts*
Why not accept it and fix the documentation issue?
Because it's hard to have purty pictures showing you where to click while using a CLI.
Works on commission? No, money down!
HD radio? Will I be able to hear the pixels with my Everglide S500 headphones?

Well, since there aren't even sanctioned ways to play *regular* DVDs on a Linux computer, expect the lack of support to continue.
I know of a widely-available Red Hat box you can buy that will play both DVDs and HD-DVDs.

Yes, that's we need. Even more spin coming from the government!
Only terraists (terrans?) would be afraid of the government snooping on them.
And this is how Google gets all the inside financial information on thousands of companies out there. Simply brilliant!

I believe you meant to write: Ending sentences with prepositions is something up with which I will not put. : p
