PLEX is losing track of why they even have paying customers in the first place. My Smart TV does the multi-platforms content search quite well ,thank you very much. I no longer care for other platforms' content when I open PLEX; I want to browse and then stream my local content FAST and with no excuses for transcoding especially on LAN.

My wife and I were both very early Gmail users (our lastname@gmail.com) and we both get a ton of accounts signup email this way. First, reset the passwords, and then go to lengths to lock them out of their own accounts. As the final blow, once you've modified all detail about their account, just change the account email address to something else entirely. The last step is to fend-off any recovery attempt. Even if they gave any details to customer service by phone (supposedly), by the time they do their old account has zero identifiable data that they can latch on to recover it.

- Has been operating on conventional rail (cost $ vs. $$$ for maglev) since 1981.
- Is holding the world record of 574,8 km/h on conventioanl rail since 2007.
- Is linking all major cities in France and some abroad (Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, UK).
- Has commercial speeds of 280km/h for the oldest ones, to 320km/h for the current generation.
- Costs a fraction of the price of the maglev.

But, YMMV. And by all means go Japan !

This is the perfect time to remind everyone of this comment made by Linus back in 2008: "...Digg users - you're all a bunch of Wanking Walruses".

To which Ubuntu forum users massively agreed that this would make a great release name !

I was frightened that Wanking Walrus would never see the light. Now, I can confidently wait another 2.5 years for it. Mr. Torvalds probably made one of the longest running joke in Linux's history when he posted his original comment on July 2008 !

A couple of USB2 (!) ports, make that one only on the 17", for a brand-new, supposedly top-of-the-line machine in 2011 ? I'm feeling like if Apple were spitting in my face.

Would be interesting to see just how much the NDS is trouncing the PSP. Just in this household me & my wife own one each; my in-laws have 2 more; and virtually in every home with teens that we visited last summer, there was 1 for every 2 kids on average or possibly more.

Outside of the gaming context this story was posted in, it is true that a weak dollar will make stuff cost significantly less for us Europeans traveling to the US. On my last business trip to the US I was able to stockpile on clothing and electronics at a fraction of the cost of these exact same items back home.

Bennett explains that this is important because (pay attention now) the same judge that wasn't able to determine what spam looks like also sits more vital cases like child custody, property damage, and rape.

This is news? I thought everybody realized that judges (lawyers in robes) are just as vile and worthless as lawyers in suits. The civil legal system is an old boy's network, but with smarter old boys running it. Regardless of whether you win or lose a case, the lawyers all get their cut.

Appearing Pro Se is worthless except in the most brain-dead of circumstances because decisions are primarily about rules and precedent rather than reason. Unless you have hundreds of hours to devote to becoming an expert, you'd better plan on losing the case. The lawyer in a suit will cite a couple of precedents and the lawyer in a robe will make a decision against you, regardless of your reason-based argument. He might throw you a bone and give you some Latin words that explain why your reason-based argument doesn't matter, even if it is right.

Hey may be no Niels Ferguson, but Dan Shumow is pretty good too. I mean, I once spray painted his ass.
