That's ridiculous. YMMV, but I set a budget, saved up my money a little bit at a time, and bought what I could afford. Just because someone can't buy the best thing out there, it doesn't mean they should go without. What it does mean, is that one should temper their expectations and not complain if their choice doesn't perform like the best thing out there.

If you've got the money, then by all means... the Nexus 10 has better specs... but if money isn't so easy to come by.. you buy what you can afford.. and then use nice articles like this to make your experience more enjoyable.

It gets a little harder to find a comparably priced and specced tablet for the 8.9" version.

Yes.. but what about the zx81/TS1000?

If we could only get Blizzard to do away with the requirement for Diablo III.

I guess that's why there are over 700k licensed amateur radio operators in the US alone.. and why the ranks have been increasing.

The basis of SAS came from while a student at NCSU. From Wikipedia: SAS was conceived by Anthony J. Barr in 1966.[2] As a North Carolina State University graduate student from 1962 to 1964, Barr had created an analysis of variance modeling language inspired by the notation of statistician Maurice Kendall, followed by a multiple regression program that generated machine code for performing algebraic transformations of the raw data. Drawing on those programs and his experience with structured data files,[3] he created SAS, placing statistical procedures into a formatted file framework. From 1966 to 1968, Barr developed the fundamental structure and language of SAS.

Does it matter at what altitude the wind speeds are measured? The buoys and measuring stations are at or near ground/sea level... while the aircraft are considerably higher. I remember a local forecaster stating that he was seeing 70mph winds less than a mile up near Raleigh.

Apparently you weren't paying attention. The Flying Spaghetti Monster put the bones out there for people to find, there weren't any dinosaurs as the world is only a few thousand years old!

sounds like a good reason to stick with my stupid phone.

I use the phone to make calls and send texts. I don't have a need for the added features of the "smart" phone, and can't justify the extra expense for the new toy or it's higher cost data plan.
