Beats Audio Headphones

I am an Android user, but I will say the iPhone isn't beats. It's actually a decent piece of hardware and software. I don't particularaly like iOS and will stick to my Android, but it's also not horrible and a lot of people develop for it. I'm also glad we have both options, plus Windows Mobile too. More options are better for the market and people who write apps for only one OS are idiots.

It's still half of beats though. There are a lot of people who buy eyeProducts because of the marketing. I liked OSX 10.6, but everything since than has been shit. Final Cut X is god awful. There are pros and cons to everything.

You realize that people who work out and are healthy/fit have a higer heart rate at rest right?

But you have an income tax right? Tennessee had no income tax but like an 8% ~ 9% sales tax

I live in New Zealand. Next winter is over a year away.

No. That's totally different. Network Neutrality means that when you pay for a given quality of service, you get that same quality of service to any destination on the Internet.

When you pay for 30Mbps, you expect that maximum of that to any Internet destination (of course within reason of normal traffic congestion and delays on that path). But what if an ISP says, "Well for YouTube, Google is forking over $1m for this dedicated fiber lane to their data centre." So now they charge you a little extra, maybe $5 a month, for faster YouToob. Now you have two Internets.

Why even bother getting an extention? We all know the program will continue anyway.

Same here. WTF? How the fuck does someone like Amazon fail at a PayPal competitor?

I'm a little more concerned that the fact that Janet Jackson's led to over a million complains. Why are American's afraid of tits?! There wasn't even a nipple. I don't get it!

I think I saw it on here, which is why I added the banner to my site.

So here's some trivia. How many aircraft carries to most countries have (those who have them)? Take a guess. Another guess. The answer is 1. Only two nations have more than 1 and that's India and Italy.

The United States has 11:

The United States is one of the most dangerous military states in the world and the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world. An 11 carrier Navy fleet is not sustainable. It will require more war and wars that do not end.

They started their service before Twitter had photo hosting. You had to use an external provider.

As Twitter tried to monotize, a critical part of that was getting rid of all this 3rd party stuff. They incorporated a lot of it directly into Twitter, put in API limits that killed apps like FalconPro, disabled their 1.0 API so people had to use the user-limited API... They're trying to kill off every 3rd party thing that originally helped them to get to where they are.

Twitter could chose to do something amazing instead. They could federate. Create open-source mini-servers that could communicate to each other and allow people to do twitter stuff from their own networks. They could shead their users, slim down, pay back steakholders and move onto different projects.

You cannot sustain infinite growth. Facebook and Twitter haven't learned this yet.

My buddy in high school had a police scanner and as we were driving around we could ocasionally pick up cellphone calls, but only one half of them. It really sucked when we got the boring half.

"Yep...uh huh...yea...What time?...I'm free tomorrow...yea....uhuh....what?...gotcha..."

But OpenRC (Gentoo) does dependency management without having to replace init.

Now systemd does give you a lot of advantages when it comes to fully managing processes, respawing and dbus/alerting. But that's also part of the problem. It connects to EVERYTHING. And if one of those things breaks or has a security flaw, you could pass messages around and compromise systems.

Not to mention the command line tools SUCK.

Sys V: /etc/init.d/ (stat|stop|restart)

Upstart: (start|stop|restart)

Systemd: systemctl restart .service

And you get ZERO output. You have to run journalctl -n or systemctl status right after it. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea?! A widows developer?

There was a lot of stuff on the TOR mailing listing about how there were two Washington, DC nodes that couldn't be removed from your list of peers.

Even if it's still somewhat anonymous, I wouldn't doubt the NSA has its hands in several of those exist nodes.

Freenet serves a different purpose entirely, but it's also pretty good at what it does.

It's a lot more expensive that you think. The development networks for drug research reach into the billions. Keep in mind that when you find a compound, it has a lot of basic tests before you get to single cells, complex organism, invertebrates, vertebrates... by the time you reach mice, you're already talking about $10million+ ... researchers, grants, equipment, poorly paid graduate students. And when you get to monkeys...each monkey is $15k a pop and if any of them die, the compound almost always gets tossed, or at the least, get set back 4 years.

And when a decent drug does come out, the entire management and executive engine of big pharma absorbs all of that. CEOs make billions while grad students still barely make $35k a year. It's a sick cluster-fuck.

But those procedures and equipment needed for a high level of accurate scientific research is still expensive and it's the difference between real replicable research and snake oil
