Yep; the only reason to pay any attention at that point might be for the amusement factor. But personally, I stopped paying much attention to anything Star Wars-related after seeing Ep.2.
Too bad. Episode 3 was by far the best of the prequel trilogy.
The same transportation that works in Japan or small European cities can't work in California, Texas, Nevada or Arizona, which are highly populated states. The distances are simply too vast for public transportation to work. People have to drive in these locations. There is no choice.

Don't believe me? Look at practically ANY open source project. Most are unreliable and impossible to contribute to. They are often incorrect, but they are usually fast and the programmer always thinks what he's doing is mega-cool.
Developers need to adjust their mindset to be valuable to the business, but sadly most business code looks more like the second list than the first.
I just put my old SSD in my old netbook and it really breathed life into that thing. It's actually usable now. Definitely makes a great upgrade for old laptops (where the spec'd drive is sometimes only 4200 rpm(!?!) and never more than 5400).
The Kingston drives (and probably some others) come with Acronis TrueImage HD on a CD. Takes about 20 minutes to copy to the new drive by booting from the CD. Disconnect the old drive and reboot. Super easy. And this was a Windows 2008 R2 Server. When I recently upgraded from the 64GB Kingston to a 180 GB Intel, it took 5 minutes and extended the partition to 180 GB automatically.
I dropped my Samsung Galaxy S2 at least 5 times from holding height onto a hard surface such as tile, concrete or asphalt. Twice, it even exploded into component parts in spectacular fashion. All three times, not a scratch on it. I really don't know how they do it (they copied Apple?).
It's true. I got an Asus Zenbook at work when offered a MacBook, and everyone went goo goo over it for weeks, even more than the Apples (and why not since it has more battery life and is thinner and lighter?).
But it's made out of aluminum instead of cheap plastic. I think that makes all the difference in the world when it comes to perception of quality.
This. I was standing in a hallway at a Disney park and some guy starts trying to fight me for being in the way of his stroller on the stairs. Not being the type to back down, I said some things that made him feel stupid, such as repeatedly pointing out that there was a stroller ramp just off to the side of us, made for wheelchairs and strollers.
No sooner did he get tired of being a tough guy with nothing to back it up, he left the building (this was less than 1 minute). Immediately, several security guards were asking us what happened. I told them that some guy wanted to fight me for standing there, thanked them for their assistance, told them I was willing to let it drop because he was cranky after pushing a stroller all day and went on my way.
But, the point was that security was there in less than 1 minute, and this is probably the norm, not the exception, at Disney parks.
Exactly. The casual market has been taken away from Adobe with free alternatives. I don't need Photoshop to crop and rotate a picture and add some auto gamma correction to it. I use PhotoFiltre for that, it has a much quicker workflow than Photoshop anyway.
Well, he does have expertise. Nice to see him stand up to a government that's mistreating him. Hopefully he gives some free laptops out in the US next.

I don't think Windows RT includes the full Win32 API.

That's why you e-mail in and then stop answering phone calls and e-mails...

It doesn't really matter. 99% of people will NEVER write 72 TB to a 1 TB drive.

They may compress the html/css/js, but the "mini" browsers typically reprocess the images for the tiny screen before sending them down.
Yeah, I loved the early days of Discovery HD Theater and HDNet with the documentaries and stuff. Pretty soon it got dumbed down to Monster Garage.
Same with VHS to DVD.
No, because all the children would be wearing their mandatory RFID badges, of course.
Welcome to the news.
Well, one difference is that Apple products tend to look like they were designed by someone at Fisher-Price.
I thought that was Windows 8.

So go to Customer Service and complain bitterly. They do take that stuff seriously at Disney.

No(Script), I haven't noticed them.
And by eating all carbs instead of protein, we'll all be overweight die early of heart disease. No thanks.
Not to me. People that are complete jerks controlling the food supply doesn't sound safe to me.
Encouraging wider adoption of GMOs through deceit is wrong.
^This. Mod parent up.
If GMOs are really so safe, why the tremendous resistance to putting a simple label on the food?
BOOM!
