I've had an "ssh buddy" for years, but for a variety of things such as asking for a "download on how to hotwire a motorcycle". I have an agreement with many friends to be an operator so they can look something up on the web, or anything els

But if you could travel faster than the speed of light, you could send a mirror to the edge of the universe to figure out what happened in the past. Figure out what happened to the tops of everyone's heads when they were outside, that is...

Some Americans care about "buy[ing] American", but most don't. A prime example is the Japanese auto manufacturers taking market share away from American companies with better quality cars since the 80s, eventually becoming dominant. Not to

I totally agree. I have two 1920x1200 screens, and I put two browser windows per screen, so I always max out at exactly 960.

Donated. I've never donated to anything like this, but Sony's actions are fundamentally corrupt and if unchallenged, will set a terrible precedent for all of us, and severely hurt this individual.

The Google Talk client is horrible. It wastes tons of CPU when it's loading up the contact list, and still uses a bunch just while idling. If you have it on all the time, it will eat your battery away such that a Blackberry 9700 with no oth

I'm not really sure, maybe Gartner has some vague reports on that. RIM does make money on the use of their Business Enterprise Servers (BES), so in corporate installations they're taking in large sums of money on a per-year basis. Given tha

Do you not find the Adam Tablet compelling? It's going to have the NVidia Pixel Qi screen that can go greyscale so you can see it in the sun, and runs Android. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Tablet It should be coming out in a few week

By the 2nd quarter of 2010, RIM was still beating both Android and Apple in market share for Smartphones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone It's more like everyone else tried making Blackberry killers, and has yet to succeed.

To extend your idea about redundantly entering a password when downloading a free application, Apple also sends you a redundant receipt for $0. That can't be anything but training the user to a set of behaviours.

Don't just make assumptions, there really isn't a risk from running pirated games that you get from torrents. People tend not to be malicious when seeding.

I can't believe nobody else mentioned this sooner or that you haven't received many more points for your comment. Most people don't even think about the fact that they're locked into a contract for 2+ years (in the US), they just think abou

Also most important, a car has heat and a car has air conditioning. There are parts of Canada that are so horribly cold in the winter that it's unbearable to walk around even if you're all bundled up. It would be even worse on a Segway beca

One of the advantages a Segway has over a bike is that you don't sweat when you ride it. You can only ride your bike to work if you don't care if you're sweaty, or if you have a shower and the time to use it once you get there. And one majo

Changing the plans so that people get charged for data over 2GB will certainly curb unlimited usage. It's the basics of economics. Especially when you pay $25 per GB, and it costs an extra $10 per GB. People will probably stop streaming Pan

The iPhone was not the first smartphone that really took off, Blackberry was. They were dominating before Apple arrived. I would guess that most of the confusion around this point is that Apple's rate of adoption was high given that it ca
