Mr jobs is obviously doing "SOMETHING" right ..

And by the looks of the numbers , mr netgear should worry about his own house , before he starts looking into others.

Seriously dude .. What the hell are you smoking ?? Perhaps not now .. but during stats class .. or something.

statistically certain to be unique ??

How the hell can you even use those two words in the same sentence.

He said busy city. And you bring up a city with the nickname of "The big easy" /me sighs

In a REAL city .. ( read as New York / Tokyo / London / HK .. Ya know .. a REAL city .. ) Using a car to get around is just inconvenient. Heck , I know folks in NYC ( Adults .. with kids .. ) that have never even gotten there drivers license .. Just no need for it.)

TCAS is not the same thing.BIG difference between figuring out if a mode c transponder signal is "Constant Bearing Decreasing Range" then trying to figure out if the guy in front of you stops short.

But really .. the simple question is.
How long before some kids think it is funny to sit on a bridge ( Or the side of the road ) sending out signals and watching cars slam on the brakes?
Or how long before china creates one in mini form ( for 10 bucks a gross ) which can be inserted into a foam ball or something.
OH THE PRANKS YOU COULD PULL.

:-D .. Cute ..

Thats kinda the point ..

Sure the no name PC builder can make you think your getting a deal .. But when you look closer they give you a 100mbit network card ( not gigabit with offloading ) .. Shared memory .. a graphics card from 4 years ago .. and so on ..

But a system from a reputable dealer vs apple comes out very close.

Ok .. ill feed the troll ..

Next you are going to try and claim a one button mouse ..

An apple tax is a fallacy.

Seriously , go do click around on apple.com and dell.com and see for yourself ...

A 12 core system from dell .. and a 12 core system from apple .. both come out to 5k .. ( with the apple having a better video card and faster memory ) ..

In the real world ( read as 'unix world' ) odd numbers are always "experimental" .. There is a 5 .. but it was never meant for mass consumption

The comment of "flipped disks wouldnt work" is misleading ..

When you would read data from the rive , you would specify the "side" .. Yes , you could not read the second side from the drive directly by specifying the second side.

But you could still flip it like everyone else.

I agree with the general point of your comment .. but seriously .. think about it for just a moment .. How else could the phone system have been built if not circuit switched ? The tech of the day in would not have allowed anything else.

And even if it had .. the nature of a phone call "screams" circuit switched. There is nothing wrong with circuit switching a voice network.

and it is an ODD number...

Only EVEN in production !!!!!

in your analogy .. wikileaks would be a bunch of levels above that ..

Wiki leaks leaks the names .. which gets someone caught .. who is then put in front of someone that pulls the trigger ..just by following your own logic .. the fault is of the person who pulled the trigger ... Not the one that published something on a web site.

if you want to blame wiki leaks , then it would be the same as blaming the guy that invented the gun!

I sure do hope that is the case. I also hope that someone from netflix will respond to the fears. from the look of the official announcement thread , there os more then one comment about possible addition of ad's ..

Correct , it may not be a great leap to 'asume' .. But as I asked .. Where is the comment from anyone @ netflix about it being ad free ??

Perhaps it is just the netflix point of view , and ad free can be safely assumed ( I hope ).. But this is disney.

Have you watched any Disney dvds lately ??

The point is that with everyone else throwing in ad's. I would think that "ad free" would be right in BOLD and blinking ... if it were indeed true.

This is disney remember, the ones that have so many ads on dvds that they needed to give you a "quick play" button on discs so that you only have to watch half of the ad's ..
