New technology is available from companies such as Bose and Greensound Technologies. They are expensive, but do produce superior sound, from modern technologies derived from R&D. Sure, the bulk of equipment is low-cost and not superior, but cheap equipment has always been available. To claim that all stereos are inferior to a 30 year old systems is clearly an exaggeration.
I actually laughed out loud at this. I can't wait to have some idiots, like the kind that stay at the spawn points and shoot at each other and spin around, brick me in!!!
Keyboard: Get SwiftKey. It's much better, and you can long press for most punctuation and numbers.
Touchscreen: I found this for almost all touchscreen devices. Luckily, now you can just pinch-zoom in, click, pinch unzoom.
Built in Browser: Sucks. Use Dolphin. Much better performance and rendering. Also makes good use of left and right swiping to display favorites and add-on's.
I also recommend Battery Snap. It keeps data and displays a graph of all battery usage, so you can easily see what, where and when your battery was draining.
How is that any answer? According to this post, "...Steve Jackson Games, then owner of the Illuminati Online BBS and later the IO.com domain", SJ owned io.com. I can find no reference to io.com being a DSL provider, which might counter the posts statement, and explain your intentionally vague answer. So, I ask again, based on the statement in this post that SJ Games owned io.com. How did SJ lose control of io.com?
If my search abilities suck, so be it, but please provide links to what I am missing and/or the search used to find it.
OK, a dumb question, but I can't find my answer through google search.
Why did Steve Jackson lose control or sell io.com in the first place, so that he could later (now) completely lose the domain?
Wow.. The PC Fanboys are going to have a field day with this one. It always seemed like the Apple fan base was more fanatical than just high quality products would suggest. Now there is "proof".
I have an Archos 101 and an Archos 32, And I love them. Sure there are a few issues with the constant upgrades to the OS, but even Apple didn't have cut and paste at first. How soon we forget.
Sarah Palin is by no means perfect. But is impossible to deny how much enjoyment I get just mentioning her name in front of most liberals. Especially here in Southern California!! The liberal reaction to her is by no means cerebral, but instead highlighted by its lack of proportion and rationality.
The more the liberals foam at the mouth against her, the more I find myself supporting her!
From ICLEI's web site their "approach links local action to internationally agreed-upon goals and targets such as: (the UN''s) Agenda 21". Agenda 21 is environmentalism and redistribution of wealth all rolled up into one. One of the Agenda 21 section heads is "International cooperation to accelerate sustainable development in developing countries and related domestic policies". Agenda 21 further states that "the major cause of the continued deterioration of the global environment is the unsustainable pattern of consumption and production, particularly in industrialized countries" In EZ speak, we are to blame for poverty, and AGW. Their solution is to give our money to developing countries, and to change our domestic policies to accomplish this task.
It's not a conspiracy, it's their stated goals. So YES, this seemingly innocuous bike program IS the very foot in the door that Maes is worried about. If you are not worried that someone is using mild mannered programs, like bike sharing, to start the ball rolling for global redistribution of wealth, and succeeding sovereignty to the UN, then you have NOT RTFA'd.
LOL. Your grasp of concepts like "sample size" and "not making gross overstatements in a discussion", combined with "foul language", make it virtually impossible to gather any wisdom from talking to you. Admittedly, It is fun to use a trolls own words to undermine his statements. But that alone is not a compelling enough reason to continue this discussion.
I am not interested in getting "the last word", so feel free to cuss away, and insult me me personally, in a final effort make yourself look foolish.
You take much for granted. My politeness was not an apology. But, I can expect no less considering the quality of the discussion so far.
Oh, another pesky fact for you. There were less that 6 thousand data points for this analysis. So, your seeming belief this was based on a "huge sample size (tens of thousands of numbers)" is also at risk.
The validity of my statements is not affected by your adolescent approach to discourse. All that is affected by your wording is others opinion of your maturity level. Even if I am confused, at least I am polite.
BTW. The Max "8" at 676 is not "twice more often than" the Min "1" at 431. I'm sure it was just a rounding error on your part, in the middle of a discussion of statistics.;)
Hmmm.. I guess I need to refashion my reply to match the eloquence of these responses.
F***, sh**, cu**, your a bunch of f***ing ign*** sasafras*****, j** hating, mother l***ing, ***, @!*!*&^, *&^%&*^%, ()*&^%&^&. So There.
And don't forget the sentiment expressed above:
There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.
While you're at it, you should look up "moral adolescence"
How could I not respond to such a well worded reply. Perhaps a few more expletives will make you feel better. Go ahead. OK? Now wrap your mind around this. We see shapes in the clouds, are they not random enough for you? The background radiation from space is about a random as you get, yet patterns emerge. Yes, when you step back, and round everything off, its all 50% gray out there, but down here it changes from night to day.
Now, if their numbers all ended in.88, We would know it was marketing setting the prices.
Statisticians and "my internet" types sometimes can't see the forest for the trees.
This is a classic mistake about random numbers. Random DOES NOT mean an even distribution. In fact, I would suspect the numbers if there was an even distribution in a stated random list. Meaningless patterns can and do exist in random numbers, and should be expected, rather than surprising.
As you may have noted, I attempted to be thorough and clear in my prior statement. I understand it matters, and make all efforts to reflect that in my writings. That said, I do use chat speak on my phone, and have no problems with that either. And I use other chat contractions when in regular online chat. I fail to see how it makes one look "dumb". Perhaps uneducated, but "dumb" is a bit harsh.
I was really only trying to prevent stress. But, if you insist, my hands are tied.:)

Now THAT is an answer.. THX!!

Now that says it all!!

I like VI, but I doubt you would get a religious reaction to it if you scanned me!! Now, if you scanned me for Nacho's....

I'm going to buy a dongle now! And I don't own a PS3. Eat that Sony!
Exactly! Without demographics, and particularly political orientation data, these splatter charts can only indicate negative popularity.
You don't need to see these movies in 3D
Theses aren't the films you are looking for
You can go about your business
Move along

Isn't admitting you use Safari instead of Firefox kind of like admitting you use IE6?
