And those are still a pain in the ass. An audio adapter of some sort to your music player or phone is much handier, and removes another device from the chain. I personally just use Bluetooth A2DP to my car stereo, which removes yet another cable.

It's not hard to rip movies, and once you do it once you're done... it's something you can just go check every now and then and swap disks when necessary while you're doing something else. Kinda like doing the laundry.

Not specifically with the computer, but getting systems/cables set up for presentations or work in a new location. It's pretty handy when you're a consultant. I sure as shit don't miss the work, though.

Wait... games on CDs don't have DRM on them? Since when?

Is that why half the time I don't get what I order when I get fast food? It's all starting to make sense...

You've had AC's disabled for a while, eh? I only ever see a few frosty pisses or goatse's or whatever per discussion, and a lot more useless shit from people who've actually signed in.

You do realize that range of temperatures is from the low point at night to the high point during the day, right? I see nothing "impressive" about the range of temps. It looks like a perfectly normal forecast. Perhaps you're just not acquainted with how weather is predicted and reported?

I see you haven't used Android much. I've been able to dictate text in any app that used the keyboard since Android 2.1 released. So for almost 2 years now. As well as having the voice commands. Yes, the control of the phone is more simplistic with the voice commands on Android, but being able to dictate an email and such has been great on Android for a long time now.

Pretty sure you're violating the license by doing that... the extension pack is only free for personal use. Not business use.

I'm a professional software developer, but I can also manage clients, build things, grow food, play sports, and even bag groceries.

I will call anyone an idiot that has an opinion on something without taking at least a bit of work to get to actually understand what they're asking. Good users are a joy to work with, they listen to you when you speak about what you're an expert about. The idiot users are the ones that say shit like "It's just a button, it can't be that hard to add 'Search' to the app"

The iPhone locks you into Apple and only Apple... iTunes to do anything with your device, expensive proprietary cables, random removal of applications that don't meet their nebulous "standards"... not seeing how your inequivalence is valid.

Shouldn't it be the other way around...? Isn't that why Apple brought out the patent guns in the first place, because they thought Samsung was too much like them and they couldn't compete?

Not really. The only ripping I've had that is pretty solid is AnyDVDHD, and that's Windows-only AFAIK.

Yes, let's get rid of the last vestiges of our "ownership" of any kind of media.

That's the weird thing... on Starcraft 2 (from the article), the jitter was more pronounced on the single chips than in the multi-GPU configurations. It's not that simple ;)
