As far as car mechanics go, one major flaw is that once you even touch the hood, your fingers accumulate so much dirt and grease that I wouldn't even imagine touching my keyboard, let alone a touchscreen.

For living in a Disneyfied world of illusion, there's porn . For everything else, there's real women.

FTFY

So what's so bad about that?

There's plenty of options, you just have to look a little harder. I'm not going to sign the death warrant of the sites I love by posting it publicly on ./ (if you're interested, send me a message)

I know it's early in the year, and this is slashdot, but I award you the "Most Ignorant Comment of the Year" award. Congratulations.

Have we learned nothing from Fahrenheit 451?

Question: What is the TOTAL cost of ownership??

Answer: $5 + a few kids. Deal.

Yeah, I also had a lot of problems with Airport Extreme not broadcasting the SSID. In normal situations, I would turn that feature off, but neither Ubuntu 8.10 nor Vista would connect unless the SSID was broadcast and set to a specific channel (I forget which one) when using WPA2. Since it isn't as easy as getting a new router (long story), I just decided to leave it on broadcast. WPA2 should be enough in most home situations anyway.

Apple will never approve this App, despite any negative publicity. If Apple were to approve Opera, they would have to significantly change their approval process to include interpreted code (javascript, for one), which would open a flood gate to other things (this isn't a bad thing, in my book, but it is in Apple's). In my opinion, Apple has only one choice (to reject), and deal with the negative publicity as it comes (which probably won't be a whole lot).

Do they even have docks for laptops yet? My 2-year-old MBP doesn't, and it bothers the hell out of me (cables! cables! more freaking cables!)

Would it be called the T-Printer? Would it print the magazine content on the rolls?

Sounds like my parents' daily trip to school

Most popular technologies are popular precisely because of porn! It's a wet dream for any inventor to get noticed by the porn industry

By the way, I'm not sure why you got modded off-topic. I think your question *is* relevant to this story...

True, but from my understanding there are only four bands that cover the majority of the world. So, if the phones are quad-band GSM phones (which is the most likely scenario), you will still have greater potential market than just with a CDMA phone. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quad-band). This also means you don't have to fiddle with the onboard radio either.
