Nowadays this is almost a must for anybody that is taller than 5'6". I don't know about you but I'm an average 6' tall and just about every "normal" sized bathtub I get into I end up with my legs having to hang out of the tub or something./P
The TV market will be transformed by IPTV in 10 years? That's cute. Really. I have no doubt that there will be more people using IPTV in 10 years than there are now (all dozen of them) but to say that it will transform the market is stupidly optimistic. You seem to forget that for better or worse, media companies control the TV market currently and just like they control the music market (hear of RIAA?) they are not willing to change how they do business. Yes, I know there are plenty of places to get indie music but unless you're one of those people that think so highly of themselves that they refuse to listen to any music that becomes mainstream, you are missing out on a lot of music.
It'll be the same way with IPTV for a very long time to come.
Running scared? You don't know the Russian mafia very well do you? I'm betting they're working out how to get one of their hitmen in the same jail cell as Soloway.
The PTT button on the SonyEricsson Z525a is raised almost a 1/4 of an inch off of the side of the phone and is very sensitive. You brush your hand against it and your screen displays "PTT feature is disabled! blah blah blah" There's no way to disable it other than tearing the button off the side.
Yesss.... because spending 45 minutes to have a conversation with somebody via SMS (keep in mind, all of your attention will be focused on typing out the keystrokes and the people around you will get run over by a bus without you knowing) is *so* much better than having a 5 minute voice conversation.
With both methods, you can easily move to another room so people don't think you're ignoring them but with SMS, you're likely to be left behind by your friends since they'll be saying, "Where's Bob? I saw him half an hour ago.. I guess he left." Nope, you're still plugging away at your cellphone trying to describe something via SMS.
I do it. They got what they deserved. Not for pirating Windows but for installing Norton/Symantec products. Anybody that willing installs any product from that company deserves any bad thing that happens to their computer.
Sucks to be an early adopter doesn't it? No, you just had to get the HDTV as soon as it came out and now you've got one that doesn't support the better HDTV formats. You also had to get the PS3 before it's glaring problems were fixed.
I'd hardly call "I would have rather seen OpenSuse but such is life." whining.
I'd rather have seen OpenSUSE too but Ubuntu is an acceptable distribution IMO. Sure, there's plenty of people in the Linux community that are blindingly passionate about what distribution is best for "the masses" and, oddly enough, I see it from Ubuntu users more than other distributions. The fact is, no business decision is going to satisfy all of your potential customers. Dell saw that with it's Vista rollout. The windows community whined about not having XP available and Vista had barely left the warehouses!
So, you didn't bother to actually look closely at the diagram that you posted did you? Or did you just not notice the giant gap between the Bougainville trench and the Tonga trench? I'm betting they'll link the West coast through Hawaii and then through that gap. Not having RTFA I can't say for sure though.
Trenches are bad. Areas without trenches are not so bad.
When you move into your new home, don't forget the Ultra Super Mega Hi-Definition Monster Cables, just $199.99/linear foot! The increased resonances fidelities and resolutions will be well worth it. Also, it's much better to be safe and completely isolate your audio system from the power grid by running it entirely off of car batteries (I buy the batteries that Nascar uses since they're the highest quality). It may seem expensive but it's well worth it. I've spent over $150k on my audio system so far and I can *hear* the difference. Every time I buy a new component that costs 10x what the old component cost, it definitely sounds better.
It wasn't. If you bothered to click on the link in the summary and scanned down the page a bit, you would have seen the message about Halliburton moving it's HQ to Dubai just before Round 13.
Unrelated to your post but I'm too lazy to create another post of my own: It's funny how 100,000+ voteS in the actual article turns into 100,000+ voteRS in the Slashdot summary. It seems that the highest number of individual voters in any single round was around 23,000. That's a pretty small sample size but considering that the people who frequent The Consumerist seem to be at least a bit more educated about consumer issues than your regular joe perhaps these votes count for a bit more than a poll that reached more people and got more numbers.

I guess you missed the part in the article that said it was meant for divers?
Who says morse coders don't use text compression of their own?
Replace my passport huh? How do you propose that other countries would stamp my Real ID? I wouldn't be too keen on having it defaced.
So you admit that it is a possibility.
That depends, does that one chip contain four cores like the PowerPC chip from TFA does?/p?

Good luck getting a decent interest rate on a mortgage with zero credit history.
Will you be trading on games that specifically disallow RMT activities in their Terms of Service?
What part of "2 out of the 6 computers" did you not read? Also, that's 2 out of 6 of the Russian computers. The US side is still working fine.

Horribly annoying.

Whoops, meant to say "I'll do it."
let's hear it for editing... or not, in this case.

Simple, the credit freeze has nothing to do with existing accounts. Hence, you won't get locked out of your accounts.
Head of Company X gets involved in customer complaint Y in order to prevent image of Company X from being tarnished.
The film we show you at 11 will be shocking, shocking I tell you!
Give me a freaking break. So are all the Mac fanboys trying to get this customer's autograph since he's been anointed by Steve now?

15 discs in 1"x5"x5" ? Those are some extremely thin cases you have for those DVDs.
Remember, we are talking about data that we'd like to be able to read once the station wagon gets to its destination.
I see you have a blog. Why don't you take the time you waste on the blog and put it towards something that really matters?
I put on my robe and wizard hat...
