I agree. Indirectly this also effects battery life by a large amount since a power heavy processor like the Atom requires considerably more battery power and from that weight. iPad is too heavy as is! I tend to take my iPad out of its case when reading at night because the case adds a small but noticeable amount of weight.

Haha, good eye. I really botched my response. What I meant to say was that the AK was more susceptible to failure than the AR-15/M-16 when it gets dirty. The video I linked to was one part of a series comparing to two. I can't seem to find the one that compares them side by side. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqRwx4wtmms&feature=related - I think this is it, but it's in black and white for some reason...

Actually this video shows that the AK-47 is much more susceptible to failure when it gets dirty.

I'm about as pro-gun as you can get, but when I hear stories about how Britain is locking up people for defending their families I get very suspicious. Do you have any links to one of these incidents? I imagine there is more to the story than is being told.

You completely made up a story and then used it to generalize all home break-in scenarios. Some analysis - that was straight out of CSI! ENHANCE!

Right now your personal preferences are set to one of two things:
a)Search Engine = Default
b)Search Engine = Google

If it is 'a', you're still going to be using the "Default" search engine. Now the "Default" is Yahoo.
If it is 'b', you're still going to be using "Google".

They have not "changes [your] already saved settings to something [you] didnt choose for".

Go eat a Cheeto, count to 10, and come back once you've gotten your nerd rage under control.

I see no strawman here. Valuables and other items in the house in question could very easily be relevant information.

So these "pirates" are actually good Samaritans looking to clean up the ocean? Sorry, I don't buy it. Somehow I doubt these guys are simply misunderstood protectors of the deep.

Microsoft - To sell more software. Apple - To sell more music and perhaps more iPods.

Nonetheless, he speaks truth.

I don't understand the question.

They did eventually release a no CD patch, but wasn't it something like a decade after the game was released? I don't want to wait that long for LAN support. :(

It was really interesting reading these post to find out that Seagate bought Maxtor (I think maybe you got mixed up - no biggie). It just so happens that I've had MANY problems with both of these drives throughout the years. I found a Seagate not long ago for a very good price and decided to buy it despite something in the back of my head telling me to go for the more expensive WD beside it. Of course, once I get it home it failed almost immediately. That pretty much sealed the deal for me - I'm with WD from here on out. I understand that they're both supposedly good manufacturers, but I can't help but recognize that all of my WD drives have been stable, long lasting, and generally smooth sailing all the way. Unfortunately, this has been far from the case with Seagate/Maxtor.

Actually maybe it isn't all that explicit :( C'mon Microsoft.
