Wouldn't the reduced size only mean that there would be fewer politicians to pay off? If you mean that a smaller government equals a government with no power, then why have a government at all?

This is true, but it doesn't just get there by magic. There's still need for "real programmers" behind the scenes.

but on the other hand it's even "clunkier" to copy and paste from a paper book.

It's due to the hidden menu, same drill with Office 2010 and finding "Save As.." etc, I've never been much for just using the keyboard, I like using the mouse to navigate the menus ;)

I find that disturbing, one of the first things I do after a clean install of windows is to check the "Show Hidden Files", which was hard to find in Windows 7 :/ I thought most tech savvie people did that?

the reports I read said there was a gunfight, so I guess the police got shot at too. But that story might have changed?

I have 1.5GB of RAM and I usually have ~15-20 tabs open without any performance hits on chrome, (including Eclipse, Skype, filezilla calc, evernote etc etc open). Maybe there's something wrong with your install?

Yeah, and I bet they lock their houses when they leave for work and that's like not open at all! </sarcasm>

Do you have anything to back up that claim? My sister is in that range and she and most of her friends pay for content when they can, or so she tells me.

I don't think you have to worry about getting stuck due to the cold, I don't think the phone will get cold enough for that to happen.

I didn't realize it had hit mainstream media, I guess swedish media is behind as usual (or I'm reading the wrong sort of mainstream media)

I haven't seen any hype surrounding google+ except for HN and other similar communities. I don't think the regular FB user is even aware that google+ is in testing phase, or that google is even working on anything like it. Heck, how many ha

And with some tax planning no company would pay any tax... It's pretty easy to hide profits in the books

I guess they did follow the rules, as it was just after Israel sent a demand for the app to be pulled from the market that it got pulled. That to me says that it was approved by apple... OTOH it could've slipped passed the review board

I read the article, where exactly did it state that they "hate the west and all it stands for". Popular political figures like to repeat it, but I have yet to hear it from someone that isn't from the west...

they ran a bettery test for 1 hour and extrapolated the result which gave: the X2 should last about 5 hours and 20 minutes on a charge and one important thing in the next line: and 5:39 for the average smartphone. So it's pretty much in lin

"Here in Vietnam you can buy a DVD of any recent Hollywood movie for 50 cents. Is it a coincidence that the domestic film industry is junk?" Well I live in Sweden where DVDs/Blue Rays are quite expensive, but still the domestic film industr

So you can help out with bandwidth when downloading media (TED talks for example). Back when I used miro that was what I used it for at least.

What I really don't understand is how Apple can do this due to the face that Amazon won't (and can't) sell any "Apple app store apps" on their store, so they won't be a competitor. For me it's if a company that produces patches to repair bi

>We've been through enough format changes to understand that "this is my media for ten years, then I'll need to convert it or buy it again." Access is the key, not ownership. I guess this is what the RIAA/MPAA doesn't like with the stre
