Isn't _everything_ ultimately useless? especially working for some kind of finacial reward which you'll spend on ultimately useless possessions or experiences.

Carts.....

So this was written by someone who understands the gaming market well then? In 1995 maybe.

Facebook has users? or the used?

And flickr isn't dead either,. lol.

But it reminds me that I'm sitting here w/ an old clunker of a phone, the Droid RAZR MAXX. I've been wondering if I should grab the S4 when it comes out, or hold out for some Rockin' octocore monstrosity, or a fabled vapor phone.

Now I have one more choice, the vapor X! 2x more XTREME!!!!

1. Hack account
2. Add your own friends
3. Set as trusted friends...
4. Success?

(as with their prior pricing model. sorry)

I did a comparison, and I think they're fleecing everyone...(who buys in)

While there is a diffference between them / Verizon for "unllimiited' accounts. (comparing to sharing 8-10GB, or my grandfathered unlimited plan.) and it's about $20 or so,

They're not really 20$ cheaper w/o the phones, as their model prior model was. if they were, that would rock I'd buy in right now.

It depends on if the controller is good and if the platter(s) are damaged.

All the software in the world won't fix a bad armature, controller, motor, though a platter can ,if lucky, be read a gazillion times and bit for bit avgd to try and sum up what the original bit shouldhave been. EAC uses a similar things to get audio from damaged CD's

I attempted to fix a fullsize portable backup drive that was 'Knocked" when the poor thing was knocked off the counter onto a tile floor. It got hit just right, slamed into the floor, and the head scraped a concentric ring into the drive. I was looking at it for a friend, I told her she could try a specialized recovery place, but if they "Could" get it back it would be pretty pricey...It's why you don't use a backup drive as your only source of storage....

you can recover 1 overwrite actually....

but it gets a lot harder as the number of passes increases, it's effectively destroyed for the next ten years anyway w/ an alternating pass of 0's and 1's. I think the 10 write cycles gets you until technology has increased to the point that a scaning electron microscope is as common as a microwave oven, and star trek style replicators exist..

This stuff isn't It's not easy,and the costs can go rediculously through the roof. Having done a TINY bit myself, shipping out some work, etc..

See my Sig though, it's all right there.

The last link is laughable - their 5 minute tour starts with a 5minute and 58 second video.....

Ditto for MPC, and I'm not a fan of the PDF at least w/ Google Magazines, because the links aren't clickable. Who the F doesn't have Clickable links in a magazine? Hell, I can click the links in the paper magazine and have the web page come up. *

Mostly, I love MPC because they're writing style is often tongue in cheek and no holds barred. Their podcast is hillarious, though I only listiend to the first 120 or so. (GO GORdon's Rant of the week, they still do that?)

*Hypothetically if I was using google glass...

and the TAZR MAXX

It's why I opted for the lower performance but much better battery in my RAZR MAXX over the RAZR when they first came out.

Next though, it'll be performance. Holding out to see if it'll be the S4 or if another flagship phone will be worth buying Q3/4 ish...
