The new movies are in a parallel universe with a timeline that doesn't really match the continuity of the main universe and multiverse theory is difficult for people not familiar with the scifi at hand. You raise some good arguments but I am inclined to disagree. I would deem starting with Wrath of Khan, then going…

It takes two photos: one overexposed, one underexposed. It processes them to create a pseudo-HDR photo. Proper HDR takes one normally exposed, one underexposed and one overexposed photo and really requires a tripod to get nice results.

+1. Automation is one of the prime reasons Microsoft made powershell and actually now makes a lot of (server) programs for powershell before making the GUI.

Battery life, screen resolution, strength, cooling, easy to "dismantle" (just open for dust cleaning really), build quality.

What that copper claimed is the biggest load of hogwash I've ever heard. Owning stolen goods, be it knowingly or unknowingly, is a felony in a huge amount of countries. Knowingly usually means you can be considered an accomplice, unknowingly usually just means having to return the goods to the original owner. Computer…

Go troll elsewhere please. This is Lifehacker, not Gizmodo.

Linux logical volumes are my preferred way.

Personally, I'd go for paying off the loan. You don't start actually making money for yourself (and no-one else) until your debts are gone.

"ass backwards jibberish" you say? You clearly don't know anything about software development whatsoever. Standard Windows apps have been compiled to binary code for x86-64 processors or to use an intermediary layer (like the Java VM for Java programs). ARM processors cannot directly run x86-64 binary code. The…

The only proper explanation I see: ARM does not support x86-64 binaries.

Unless your house has solar cells on the roof and you schedule the nodes in your cluster to autoboot after sunrise and shutdown before sunset, you'll end up losing way more real-world money on the power consumption than you'll gain mining for bitcoins. The bitcoin "gold rush" is over.

Multiple chargers, best thing to have. One for on your desk, one for on the go. You could try sticking to the same notebook manufacturer or at least manufacturers that use the same plugs and voltages to slowly build up an arsenal of chargers. I'm currently using a charger from my sister's previous Asus notebook on my…

No problem, ubuntu Server is surprisingly light. I'm using a core2duo E7300 which is total overkill with 2 gigs of DDR2, again total overkill. You can easily use it with a pentium4-system. What I do with it: Samba file sharing, IRC bouncer (znc), torrent downloader (transmission), http downloader (rapidshare and the…

Firmware modifications can circumvent that. The real problem is heat. But most standard photo cameras have the 20min limitation either due to FAT32-limitations or because they could be classified as video cameras which means different taxes in some countries.

Nah, the HTC clock widget was awesome. Lockinfo 5 does provide a functionally similar clock out of the box with time, date, visual weather and temperature indication.

Yeah, it essentially ditches add-ons in favor of notification center widgets. I love it though.

Remove Intelliscreen from that list in favor of lockinfo. I bought both IntelliscreenX and Lockinfo and I honestly feel ripped off by Intelliborn.

Love my D5100. Combine it with a 18-105 and a battery grip and it just feels "right".
