(Once again, this time with correct quotation tags):
I just can't see an advantage of micro USB over mini USB.
I have had several mini USB phones where the plug would fall out of the phone or lose connection if I just looked at it in the wrong way.
Micro USB feels much more stable. I can even feel a little "click" when I plug it in, whereas the mini USB was only held in place by friction.

...we could get rid of the Num Lock key on full size keyboards...
Who said that they knowingly took them back? Its trivially easy to register a new account with EveryDNS and get them to host a new domain...
...until EveryDNS discovers it and terminates the new domain.
It would be incredibly stupid of Wikileaks to use the dns provider which has already once terminated one of their domains, unless Wikileaks and that dns provider has some sort of agreement about the new domain.
So the author expects that somehow that apps not submitted to Apple will appear magically appear for auto-update? In the case of Ubuntu, there is a system to do handle updates. However, any code installed outside of the system (i.e. tarball or gzip) does not get auto-updated within the system.
In Ubuntu and Debian, you are not limited to using the central repository with apt. You can add any third-party repositories to the list. Applications from those repositories will be automatically upgraded on equal terms with the distribution's own applications.
I like my RAID array
Not as much as I like my redundant RAID array of inexpensive disks.
B-52 crash at Thule, Greenland, 1968.
4 hydrogen bombs aboard, contamination of a large area. The secondary of one the 4 bombs were never found.
DPIs are now static because they expect us to use them only for movies. 1080 vertical pixels is all that you should need.
No. Ds are static.
As screen sizes vary while number of pixels is more or less locked at 1920x1080, DPIs are definitely not static.
Try a Thinkpad, they have 15" ones that go to 1920x1080.
...which actually proves the point of the article.
1920x1080 on a Thinkpad is a loss of resolution. The Thinkpads you could buy less than a year ago had 1920x1200.
"...a generation of nerds doomed to sterility..."
Are we really worried about nerds being sterile?
Yes we are. Look at the planet!
If history has taught us anything, it's that reproduction is the be-all and end-all of all evolution.
Give the planet a lack of nerd babies, and we'll be left with a planet that's good to look at, but dumb as hell!
Whoosh!
A steril nerd will reproduce just as effectively as non-steril nerd: Not at all, since it involves actually getting laid.
This means that evidence gathered illegally is admissible!

Taking pictures of police engaging in illegal activity where photography is banned. The judge won't throw out the evidence.
I am in doubt. Would the correct moderation of your posting be "-1 Obviously naive" or "+1 Apparently naive"?
So wait... I can set up a business where I take money from writers to read their books and gush effusively about them?
"Read"?
The GP said "review", not "read".
Some skimming may be necessary in order to avoid the worst errors, but actually reading the book seems like a superfluous and cost increasing part of the business plan.
I do the same thing for my parents and in-laws but have them run as a limited user in XP. With the exception of non-MS software, their systems get updated automatically and I haven't had any significant problems except explaining what the occasional dialog xyz means. I do have to update Firefox for them which is not ideal.
Why don't you give them an administrator account so they can do the updating without your help?
Just only set up their mail, browser bookmarks, program shortcuts etc. on their normal user account so they will not be tempted to use the administrator account in daily use.
I have set up computers this way for years and have never had a problem. People are generally not too stupid to have access to an administrator account, and if you inform them of the purpose of having two accounts, they will understand it and behave accordingly.
Another solution (or rather workaround) to the Firefox problem is installing Firefox in a directory which is writable from a limited account. In my opinion, you will gain more safety (by always having an updated browser) than you lose.
I think the important question here is not whether Word or OpenOffice was used.
The important question is:
Will this affect the deadline for appeal?
Not having adequate time to read the full verdict before deciding whether to appeal or not would in my eyes be a serious justice problem.
Occasionally my PS3 refuses to find the media server and both have to be restarted. Not a huge deal, but annoying- especially to someone who doesn't know how to reboot the media server.
I have seen the same problem, but in my case I think I know the reason:
1. The DHCP server in my router hands out a new ip address to the PS3 every time the PS3 is booted.
2. PS3 Media Server keeps track of which PS3s (or other DLNA clients) it has seen on the network. This list is based on ip addresses, not MAC addresses.
The combination of these two behaviours is that the PS3 Media Server's list of known PS3s just keeps growing and growing over time, even though I only have one PS3. I think that the problem when the list is finally too long.
So the easy solution would be to use a fixed ip address on the PS3. I just haven't bothered yet.
I do agree to your reservations against using the PS3 as a media player. I think it is a great combined gaming console, internet browser, network music player, network movie player and blu-ray movie player. But everything except the gaming can be better handled by dedicated devices. I have already ditched it as a music player and have bought a Squeezebox Touch (which is almost as expensive as the PS3).
