But that is completely relevant for the purposes of the test as many people also have those kinds of systems and what performs best on crap speaker systems is still useful information.

Sony have massive stock of 3DTV's to sell and don't want the fad to die out before they've flogged them.

and your battery life will half.

That the people that pirates are usually the people that consider viewing the media their hobby. I.E gamers, movie fans and music fans and not the average Joe. That would make sense to me.

Force you to monitor your privacy to the world while they have full access behind the scenes.

Indie developers are only Indie developers until they get a hit. Part of that I suspect comes from being so obsessed with the thrill of making an Indie game with mass appeal makes them determined to try to do it again with a sequel since one is unlikely to hook into that popularity twice in ones career anyway. I think if most of todays Indie developers had of created Doom, they'd be doing and saying the same things.

2 people died during the wait... See then it would be news :P

I had to click so much to get to the full size pictures :( I don't mind so much but it isn't exactly a good gallery design there NASA...

Down a staircase from top to bottom in a pub that went to the toilets. It was a tiled staircase. The back cover came off, popped it back on and not a scratch on the phone. I also dropped it one night in a pub and sent it a web text the next day saying if found return to my address and later that day someone popped by with it apologizing saying they don't know how they ended up with it.

How can you make a call or answer a call if the UI is inoperable though? My friend has an iPhone with a broken power button and she didn't drop it from a plane so what should be taken from this article is really that it depends what way it lands much like a person.

Actually the time spent could have been used to try to find a freelance project, I'd say he would be lucky to get a freelance project and complete it in the time it takes to upgrade his phone with a custom rom after using an exploit to gain access.

I've rooted my phone but not upgraded it and it took me about half an hour to do it in total. I got my last windows mobile phone to duel boot android in a similar amount of time. It doesn't take effort or skill, usually someone else does most of the work and your just following their instructions. The people that learn how to do the actual hacking and actually create the custom Roms are learning skills that could be useful on future projects if they continue to work in the Android area since they will learn a lot about different parts of Android.

Is that it has consistent temperatures or reasonably so. Maybe not as I'm not an expert on Vegas. A couple of companies have built data centres in Ireland for this reason though and they can use the wind that comes naturally through for cooling to further reduce costs. Ireland has high humidity so I'm not sure how this plays into the whole humidity theory though. Mostly I'd say it is probably for tax breaks and cheap startup costs giving them a fast return on investment.

An eye for an eye is the foundation of the entire justice system. You did something wrong so you must be suitably punished for that crime. Just because it is served with years behind bars rather than actually harming the person in the same way does not mean it is not an eye for an eye.

But once you have root, why can't you just change that?

I think the problem is with the teacher not the education system. We learned a lot of things on our Maths course that weren't on the course because we had a good Maths teacher.

In saying that the teacher I had before that was terrible and used tricks he taught himself to get through teaching how to do a problem meaning you learned the trick, not how to solve the problem.

And he was the honors teacher... So I dropped to Ordinary level after a year and learned less maths properly and caught up in college on my own time to get through the course. Really though, it is over 50% the teacher and then we can talk about the intelligence of the pupil. If I can go on to college and do maths that was on the honors course at secondary school/high school, only two years later, then I don't think the problem is me.

I think it is ridiculous when some people claim, it is the pupils and not the teacher. It is high school/leaving certificate Maths FFS!
