Because it's nice being able to identify base characteristics from which to approach situations. I suppose we should all call each other Zem, too?

So Google's got CP itself...and since corporations are people...Google will be getting arrested for possessing child porn, right?
But of course we can't use the bullheaded and illogical laws on the corporations with all teh monies.
Yeah, people don't seem to realize that "on standby" == "still using several watts of power".
If I have a relatively regular pattern of when I turn it on and off each day, how much can they bitch? Logically, anyway...I make no claim as to projected and/or current logicality of the law.
how dense do you have to be
Dense enough not to buy one, apparently.
What's the difference between "sub-pixel font rendering" and "treat every pixel as some shade between the font color and the background color"? I mean, how else would you do it?
Wait...Metro isn't GNOME 3?
Yeah...I'd like to see the fuckers record me if the damn thing is plugged into a power strip which is turned OFF
Although it's a moot point because there's no way I'd buy any new console from Microsoft or Sony these days anyway.
I still pray for the day that somebody decides to fork 3.0/3.5/3.6 and just update it for bugfixes & security. I don't think Mozilla has actually added a single feature I wanted since 3.5, and proceeded to fuck over the UI at every opportunity instead.
The headline parsed as "(American Targeted By Digital Spy Tool) Sold To (Foreign Governments)."
If you were looking for a tablet in the first place, I would have expected you to mention the whole Internet thing in your initial post. So yeah, an mp3 player--which is what the iPod originally was anyway--does not usually compare well to a tablet. This, plus your statement that you'd rather listen to a radio, seems you weren't really looking for an mp3 player in the first place and just didn't know it.
Oh, and the Fuze comes with a radio too. Do iPods these days? And I forgot to mention, a microphone as well, though no camera, because it's NOT A FREAKIN' TABLET.
You might have guessed by now that I don't see the point of a tablet
Rockbox (http://www.rockbox.org/) on a Sansa Fuze, day after Thanksgiving sale for $49. Expandable memory via microSD card slot; also picks up radio, has microphone, plays AAC, OGG, FLAC, etc., etc., etc. Comes with a number of games etc. Not ridiculously high resolution display, but I really don't see the point of that or random apps so hey. Oh, plus you can skin it. Can an iPod do that? No?
Unfortunately this was a few years ago when they still made them with physical wheels. Now they're making them with capacitance thingies like iPods
A) Standby still uses watts.
B) Shutting down your computer regularly can help you notice an impending hard drive failure before it completely dies instead of rebooting one day, for the first time in 2 years, and your drive is bricked.
with TFS is that they assume a round trip right off the bat. How bad is it if we send people one-way?
I took the point of his post to be that sitting inside a rocky/iron asteroid, you'd be significantly more shielded from ambient radiation.
New features isn't the only reason you stay on an active project...especially important for web browsers due to their ubiquity, you need continuing bug fixes.
I clung on to Firefox 3.6 for awhile, but eventually you have to give up and continue forward or you're exposing yourself to security holes.
An authority is a person who can tell you more about something than you really care to know.
