why not just buy a GPS device designed for motorcyclists? They've been around for a while, mount right to the handlebars, and have tons of rider-friendly features. Plus, you don't need a cellular data signal, which I'd think would be uncommon on roads where you'd honestly need GPS mapping. Of course, here I am assuming that this is something you need, and not something you just want for no good reason.

Can't the iPhone can already do HDR photos?

Careful, those physicists have arsenals of powerful lasers at their disposal...

If you think Colbert is just goofy and doesn't attack the right in his show, you should sit down and study his recent interview with Laura Ingraham. He makes repeated attacks at her book (The Obama Diaries), calling it terrible writing with disgusting racial stereotypes, all while smiling and laughing. It's honestly incredible how effective he is at setting her off balance, to the point that she makes a weak attempt to change the topic near the end of the interview. That specific interview, in my mind, is truly one of the greatest demonstrations of his skill as a political satirist.

This would basically be a written and broadcast media, so it's libel. Slander is for spoken word.

Actually, comparing FLOPS, about 10 Core i7 980 XE (107 GFLOPS) processors could handle the work of a GTX 285 (1062 GFLOPS). Add another one to orchestrate the whole mess, and you should be good to go. Of course, your latency will most likely be significantly increased...

This is a problem for people well educated in math, as well. I could do simple calculations like that much more quickly before learning all the different maths necessary for my engineering degree; now I have to think about it more, because things like mental division aren't the sort of thing I use every day. Generally, if I had to do those things on paper or in my head, I'd be wasting a lot of time.

Not likely. While the locations of item may be somewhat changed in windows 7, it's still within the same framework. Ubuntu changes where most everything is. Remember, people (i.e. large groups as a whole) don't like change.

Sounds like a great reason to drive over 30 mph in cities... If I want the car to stop, I'll tell it to.

Really?

RTFS, dammit. The law of supply and demand is not at work here because the government is making the price artificially low.

All of which are required by law, and would obviously be features. In all fairness, though, cars do need many of the sensors in order to keep the engine running at peak efficiency, thanks to fuel injection. And if you say you'd rather have carburettors anyway, you've clearly never owned a carburetted vehicle for any length of time. Ultimately, data is good, and more sensors means more data.

That's ridiculous. If it did that, there wouldn't be a linux version!

Most college students purchase a computer before their freshman year and intend it to last throughout their entire four year program. That means they are still at home, still largely unphased by the costs of college, and living far more dependently on their parents' income than they will on campus.

I really don't understand how those sentences are logically connected. I agree that I bought my laptop with the intent of using it for the duration of college, but I don't see why that implies that I live at home, mooching off my parents. I'd actually say that most of the people I know who mooch off their parents a lot tend to go through a new computer every year.

Excuse me while I grab a knife and look for a new Volvo...
