The other exception is taking a stance that skill quality and loyalty take a backseat to equality and mediocrity. If everyone makes the same, everyone can be controlled equally. I seem to recall a Silicon Valley commercial from 1984 where a Hooters waitress throws a hammer at a screen to stop...

There's more to consider than just skills though. I would be surprised to find that the males didn't work at least 10-30% more and took less days off and were overall more reliable when needed on short notice. Sure women can be and do all that, but on average men generally work more and put...

This should get pretty interesting on a Raspberry Pi. The performance gain will be huge.

You guys should look up the story of Justina Pelletier before you judge this guy so harshly.

Exactly this. I'll plug the computer in, just give me the display.

First we had security theater in the airports, now we have privacy theater in congress. Nothing changes, it's just done to prevent spoon fed simpletons from rioting in the streets and flipping cars.

I've used both Air VPN and iVPN for years and they are both awesome. Air VPN seems to really be on top of things although they aren't quite as fast when connecting from the US as iVPN is, although iVPN is more expensive.

Lego my Eggo.

"had to swerve to avoid striking a vehicle" lol what? Had to swerve? How about not speeding like a maniac through a red light?

I don't understand how people freak out about Netflix raising their price by a dollar or 2 and yet they will pay $150 a month for commercial ridden cable TV.

I don't think it's too much of a stretch to think Lucy might lie about her weight. She doesn't look like the type to be insecure about her body, but you never know.

I was all signed up and ready to go until I found out room service charges $18 for a hamburger. Good thing my deposit is refundable!

Last time I watched commercials on TV (several years ago), every commercial break was 3 car commercials, 2 ads for drugs with a side-effects list a mile long, and some network ad for a show I wont watch. Next commercial break it was the same thing again, just in a different order. There's no...

Why do I think the FBI/NSA already knew how to do this and were playing dumb?

I expect with this update will also come with a bunch of stuff that is really CPU intensive so the crashing will be quite noticeable, along with an announcement a week later titled "We told you so".

Just looking at some actual numbers, albeit for 2016, looks like China's annual CO2 emissions were 7.5 billion tons vs Bitcoin's 19 million. That's about 1/400th the amount.

I wonder how many tons of CO2 in the atmosphere Bitcoin mining is responsible for. Compare that to how much China as a whole is responsible for. It probably makes Bitcoin look like a non-issue.

Something interesting to consider. If you gave someone who never used an MP3 player before a Zune and an iPod, I bet they would choose the Zune.

Aren't the 2 guys he allegedly stole the idea for Facebook from also 2 of the largest investors in Bitcoin? This should be interesting.

I'm an ITX gaming enthusiast. So there :p

I was once told by a photographer that he would only burn his images on silver bottom CDR media because the colored dyes messed with the color in his photos. He would buy this.

I wonder if this also includes the VPN you need in order to actually get Netflix to stream well over their lines.

I don't really see the point in putting DVI on such a high end card. I would rather see 4 HDMI or 2 HDMI and 2 Display Port.

Someone please explain to me why 16GB more memory costs $50 on one and $70 on the other.

The least the could have done is put a little diary lock on it. Preferably the kind that have the key attached so you don't lose it.

I don't get the picture. If that's HDMI then it's at least an inch and a half wide by 6 inches long. I guess if you were a giant that might be a thumb drive. How exactly do you plug that into the bottom panel of the tv/monitor if it only has 3 inches of clearance from the stand it's on?

Wouldn't they just dodge the microwaves as indicated here?: http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=108430

It comes with a stick of butter which you put on the airbag side ensuring it always lands butter side down. Alternatively you could avoid the expense of the airbags by strapping your phone to the back of a cat. Just don't butter the phone and put it on the cat or the results of which could...

Yes, I can see all corporations who can afford the $185,000 fee dropping their dot com to alleviate some overlap. I'm sure Steve Jobs can't wait to give up apple.com from so some other apple business can use it. :rolleyes: The only thing this has done is create some new way to soak more money...

I'm betting development for this game was funded by the RIAA.

This would be far more interesting if it had street view... or maybe it used to before "they" removed it.

Seems pretty clear this patent is, although broadly labeled, mostly for cell phone or small device use. This would make sense as its been rumored Google was looking into doing something similar. Here's an interesting thought, Apple looses the cell phone OS war to Google's Android, Apple sues...

I had sprint for 8 years and switched to t-mobile when the G1 came out. It was like a giant wake up to actually get customer service and not a single dropped call since the switch. The thought of going back to sprint-like service makes me physically ill. If they do merge I hope t-mobile will be...

"but has said that prices are "similar" to its own in-store ones" Considering their in store prices are what you'd expect to see in an airport, this is not hard to believe.

I think the difference is between automation vs. making a conscious effort to download an executable software program.

Cox has actually done this since they took over the @home service. You can see the tiered pricing and bandwidth limits here: http://www.cox.com/policy/limitations.asp You can get unlimited from them in the form of a SOHO/Business account. It costs about $80 a month for 3mb/512 though, and an...

I think most [H] readers are in the top % of net users, all of us probably cost the ISPs more than we make them. Personally I would hate to see this happen but at the same time I question how this can be considered so unfair. I don't think there are any utility companys out there that give you...

Sounds like a conspiracy... Someone (RIAA MIBs most likely) got to the judge :eek:

They are just doing their part to help the non-profits stay that way :rolleyes:

I surf these forums every day on my mac at work. Been using FF3b since it came out. It's a vast improvement over 2 and Googlebar Lite works with it. For the record, I have been forced to use Safari on both mac and PC for web development reasons. I hope it dies a horrible death is all I can say.
