Offtopic: As a professional Canadian I would like to point out that 'eh' does not need to get separated from the other words by a comma. It plays nicely with the rest of the sentence. In fact it works more like punctuation than a word. It can of course replace commas: "See that guy eh he's a hoser."
"making things specifically not work"... "a closed system of tied hardware-software" "hacker-unfriendly and to sometimes lag behind in features" (Missing features and nothing you can do about it)
As for DRM i'd have been happy with them not opening that can until the RIAA starved to death.
Since this is a do-over there is an albeit small chance they'll come back like: "Huh... I guess Darwin was a scam artist. That sucks, he really had us going there with that whole 'evolution' thing. You think someone would have tried to verfiy."
Installing win7 from a usb stick on a medium computer took me 20mins or so maybe a little less. What is the point of bringing this up. Its like. 'Well the ferrari enzo is pretty shitty. It's 0~60 really drops when it has bare tires and is driving up a 70 degree slope in the rain.' (Car analogy just for you guys.)
If it will likely never happen that way, who gives a flying fuck?
MS doesn't lock you into any software, GG. Also the amount of totally free stuff out there is pretty huge. The only problem is the amount of phone options you get screws with ap compatibility some.
This isn't news this is apple being apple. Not at all surprising. Apple makes most of their money by making things specifically not work. Like DRM, I know itunes stopped mostly now but they are the ones that spread DRM in the first place.
Considering you have an apple tv and bought connectors you dont need or use you are clearly a true blue apple fan (aka you hate money). But as it is USB 2.0 transfers more power and more data and is much much MUCH more widely used so you could use the cables with other things if you wished. USB 3.0 Is many times faster and transfers even more power.
Pretty damn sure there is no reason for breaking standards. Except one of course, and that is to deprive you from your money for no good reason. If you can't see that micro USB is a better solution there is no hope for you, sorry.
The cable for component output (which is only 480i) costs 55$. Which would cost about 10$ normally. But since apple uses their own proprietary output it costs a lot more. Yay hating standards to raise prices. BTW mini/micro usb is better in all ways (ubs 2.0) not to mention the plug is like 1/8th the size.
Also I'd like to point out another big problem. The main audience for this cutting edge tech is nerds. They are also the group that is least likely to give a rats ass about looking stupid. Awesome right? Sorry, one big flaw with that. A lot of nerds already wear glasses. Stacking glasses really doesn't work well so i'd say 60% of the cutting edge people will find the product hardly useable at best.
Face tracking is the future of 3d tvs not funny glasses. People are vain it will never become mainstream. I am aware they are different things... to a degree.
Comparatively face tracking has many advantages.
1. The tech can be used and worked on RIGHT NOW. Most laptops sold these days come with a webcam. Using this you can have full 3d applications right now. Having a preinstalled base of millions clearly helps.
2. Headtracking can be used in games and applications to allow you to interact with the environment. And to have 3d as good as an object in front of you. You can use it to work like a window rather than a pane, moving forwards gives you a wider field of vision, moving to the left allows you to see more to the right and so on. Recorded 3d clearly won't allow you to change where you are viewing.
3. Most importantly it makes it so you don't have to wear stupid looking glasses. This is the main problem and it will kill panasonic's 3d tv.
4. Utility, Having a camera on your tv is way more useful and flexible than silly glasses.
The downside of course is that this doesn't provide 3d as in depth it provides 3d as in view. This can be fixed by having a mechanism for the tv that allows it to have auto-stereoscopy (This tech exists of course). This will be limited likely to a few viewers at first and improve.
Pretty sure when it comes to NASA lives aren't being calculated at 200k. Something more like 50million. If NASA could throw 200k into their risk calculations we'd be moving forward much MUCH faster. It is actually quite interesting that because people are so squeamish calculating the value of a human life they make decisions without doing so. This of course results in a value being put on someone's life but without thinking about it first. This ends up with a human life having all kinds of weird values.
Cars for example put it between 200k and 500k. The Ford pinto famously put it at 15k (in the 70s). Airplanes are something like 1million. Asbestos ban worked out to be 110million dollar value on a life. The hazardous waste listing for wood preserving chemicals cost 5.7 trillion dollars per human life (It likely will never save a life).
If society could get it together and NASA could just set a number like 200k, this wouldnt be a problem AT ALL.
I think this idea would cause a rift between R&D and companies that hawk the crap. Which I think is actually a Pro. There are a lot of factors not being taken into account of course so I don't know how such a system would turn out. That I didn't see any obvious reasons why it'd blow up in your face is pretty nice.
This may be credits for cheap. You may be learning (nearly) as much as a regular university and you may even do it faster. BUT I didn't think that was the purpose of university. I thought the whole point was to get a high paying job. And I'm unconvinced that this can provide.
If you just wanted to go to school to learn sure. But I don't think that has been the main focus for many years now.
Get a foldable bike... near free. Get a foldable electric bike, a little bigger and heavier for 1/4 the price.
Get an electric scooter: 1/4 the price, weighs less, goes faster and folds to be smaller. You look like a child instead of a pretentious fag, which is worse is up to you. xootr eX3 Electric Scooter is an example btw ( http://www.geocities.com/estephanovich/ )

I downloaded windows 7 from Microsoft's official site and followed their official instructions to stick it on a usb stick.
Move to Newfoundland, they pretty much pay you just to live there. Yay crazy high unemployment and even higher welfare.
Why not just switch to gmail at this point?...
I think the idea is that it is the right thing to do. Ethically Google has been doing a great job, aside from youtube of course.
I really don't think clamping down on the butterfly is a good idea :( I don't know what you are trying to prove you sick bastard.
BTW fly murderer, trapping butterflies is just mean, touching them with your greasy hands kills them.

It can of course replace commas:
"See that guy eh he's a hoser."
Or question marks:
"Hes crazy eh"
And of course bewilderment:
"EH?!"
"making things specifically not work" ...
"a closed system of tied hardware-software"
"hacker-unfriendly and to sometimes lag behind in features" (Missing features and nothing you can do about it)

Ok... very very small chance but still.

Nobody still living and breathing on this rock knows for sure...
Sure, plenty of people know. Earth is about 4.54 Billion years old. Don't be silly.
Tethering is ok on other phones on the same networks.
Apple killed tethering for all networks nothing based on the providers individual wishes.
Apple has enough swing that they can tell providers to fuck themselves over this kinda thing.
Apple did not change the smartphone game. WM has been there longer, is more open and more widespread.

They have a whole page on the site linking other people that have done this in past. L2read.

Set up your own camera then. It gives you the option to not show it if it makes you look bad.

Still better than Vim. Just saying...
