Maybe you just need to get out of (your parents') basement more often?




I kid, I kid ...

Are you a troll? Because he doesn't fly 9.99 specials, I suspect every flight he has flown has indeed offered free drinks . Every flight I have ever flown has offered "free" food and drinks (free == included in price).

I use .Kids Place; it only allows apps that I allow to run to be run without a 4-digit PIN to unlock. You could load it with video & allow only the video player. Everything else is blocked.

It's a pretty simple app, I suspect someone could write a kiosk app in a few hours.

I find it disappointing that "Ask Slashdot" questions can be solved in 30 seconds on Google.

So, all these comments (at least as of when I last reloaded the page) and noone asking how much to buy a couple bricks? I for one would love to buy a couple bricks to keep by my fireplace. If cheap enough, I'd even burn them sometimes, but if not, would be a fun conversation starter.

C'mon, any Hunkies reading this? Post a reply if you can score me some!

PS: I'm an American of Hungarian decent, not insult intended calling you a Hunky & even if I wasn't, if you were offended, you should lighten up :)

WTF? I read about this yesterday on /.






cue jokes re: my UID

Nah, we just need to find the ZPMs that the Ancients left scattered around the Pegasus galaxy ...

Turn in your geek card.

Can't port away from Google Voice ATM. Could port to Sprint & then away, they still offer 14-day (used to be 30) no charge cancellation.

Try using your iPhone in other countries & tell me. They are an international carrier.

Nitpicking:

A $50 HDD is very small currently (and refurbished), so I'm going to throw that silly figure out & replace it with $100-150, a 2TB drive.

Family videos: Simple 1080p video (not 3D, not multiple angles, etc) is 16GB/hr (on my camera, YMMV). That's just over 100 hours on a 2TB drive. With kids (especially kids in plays/musicals!) this doesn't go as far as you might think.

DVD Collection: Figure 2GB/movie = over 1500 movies at low-def, but let's be realistic, this doesn't look great on a 50"+ TV. HD compressed movies are 10-20GB/movie (IME, YMMV) so we're down to 100 movies.

But wait! You said both on the same drive, so cut both figures in half. Oh, and for 2-3 times the price. Most of everything else you said was spot on, but your mistake was suggesting $50 was enough for storing a "life worth of fotos, videos and [movies]". There is no single HDD big enough for this task at current settings, much less when the industry takes its collective heads out of its collective *** and realizes 1080p isn't all that great - just better than what we had.

Better you delete the files if you cannot remember the passkeys ... wtf have files you can't open?

Untrue, even murders can get out in 25 years or so, but contempt can be forever. Up to a judge to decide (good thing they are never corrupt ...)

I thought "Radio Edit" was taking out the naughty words ...

You do know we've been spending more than we have since (after) Clinton, right?

WTF idiot modded this a troll? Feel free to mod me a troll, but this was quite insightful!
