service generally also being taken to be a good thing.
Clearly you don't own a BMW, where service is generally considered an assault (on your wallet).

Personally I'm English and I love the French, and I love France. Their best exports IMO: women, cuisine, style, cheese, wine, attitude, active lifestyle, Evian, Paris, the Alps (OK, I've moved on from exports...).
Good ford, s/correction/whoosh;.
...or sending about 400 DVDs per second
That's just about enough to cope with today's worldwide porn output, but what happens when the industry switches to Blu-Ray?
I'm in a certain mode before I see some movies I'd rate them quite a bit differently
Absolutely. Every single film I first saw on a plane ranks very low for me.
The Sydney Opera House has closed loop saltwater cooling for their A/C - they feed the saltwater pipes a plate of zinc every year, which is used as a sacrificial metal to avoid corrosion. Pretty clever
32 GB Intel SSD, and that would be more then enough for your average laptop
I work and play on my laptop. It's my only computer - a fact that makes my life easier. Here's my storage requirements on top of OS/apps:
My laptop drive lets me carry everything but video without an external HD. Back at home, I have full-size external drives for the video and for backups. Let me know when 512GB SSDs cost less than a Burton Custom.
When I built my storage server, the comparisons were things like "new car"... I instead spent $500 for five 1TB drives in a RAID-6 array.
What good is a new house and a new car if you can't enjoy them because you're worrying about your RAID rebuild times? Choose life: choose SSD!
Should bluray players that don't include an hdmi cable also say that?
Yes, if the blu-ray player also didn't include a blu-ray laser pickup. Then it would be:
Blu-Ray* Player
*Blu-Ray laser sold separately
GCD figures out how to manage things so you don't get a spinning beachball
For non-Mac OS X users who haven't heard that before, the spinning beachball is a cursor a bit like the hourglass.
allowing it to play 720p video through the optional HDMI Zune dock
So really it should be Zune HD*
*HD sold separately
And name 3 people you know who run raid-5 on their personal PCs, and I'll show you 3 guys who can't afford an SSD drive.
Yeah, every time an article on storage catches my eye, I have to check laptop SSD prices. So far, each time I do this, for the cost of a drive the size I need, I could buy a new snowboard, or a laptop, bike, half a holiday, room full of beer... etc. I really want one, but so far I haven't been able to look at that list and say "I'd rather have an SSD!"

Mmm... ASCII porn...
When I saw "Google submitted to the Newspaper Association of America (NAA)", my immediate thought was that Slashdot had been hacked by a certain troll organisation. I guess that serves me for browsing at -1.
Apple ALREADY had a 160 GB IPod Classic. How about a 250GB?! Cause this is really stupid to remove it from the market and then bring it back again, because nobody wants the 120 GB. Of course they don't want the 120GB. As much as I like and respect Apple, this particular move just seems like a throwback to me.
As a 160GB owner, I sympathise with your point of view, but I'm sure it was a sound business decision on Apple's part. The classic is now the least popular iPod model, so they dropped the least popular flavour of their least popular model. Most people bought the 120, which also happens to be considerably thinner, lighter and feels less clumsy than the original 160. The new classic has the same physical characteristics as the 120, so it's better than my 160.
I only bought the 160 because I got fed up with running out of storage on my ipods; the biggest classic was a sledgehammer solution.
Today is a good day for information-gathering. Read someone else's mail file.
