This only works for media that's been stamped by a glass master such as production software and CD's, which, more often than not, could be "re-purchased" through bit torrent. Ink-based systems such as CDR's and DVD-R's would be screwed because the laser-sensitive ink is on the coating.

This makes sense in theory - no one wants to pay for someone's lunch if they aren't willing to work for it themselves. The "tough love" attitude can feel good to say... "I did it, and we're helping them by making them help themselves"... but it does not reflect the reality of widespread poverty and despair at the…

They didn't notice because instead of mirroring their glass, they just blocked it off.

Sprint was also the only telecom company to come out in defense of net neutrality, and against many of these backwards and archaic data metering plans.

What's a good resource to use when trying to root/install custom firmware for the Epic? The standard install I have is so ridiculously slow and clunky that I can't even believe it was released to the public.

Several browsers on Android (including the stock one if you set it right, I think) can report themselves as Firefox or Chrome. I don't know if this factors in at all.

I got a Palm Centro several years ago on Sprint, back before the Android Revolution hit. I remember one of the best things about it was that since pretty much nobody had Sprint, their data network was never congested. I was regularly getting speeds of 600k-1.2mbps (incredible by 2007-08 standards) over tether with…

But those bastards bombed all my toys! The least I can do is play in a burned up, toxic tank.

Elementally, technically, no. However, it is ridiculously heavy, toxic to children, and useful in munitions, so I guess it's "the same" enough to count for something.

As we speak, some of their handhelds can already do 1200fps... though at a reduced resolution.

Not all girls...

Two years from now, 90% of its features will be available on Casio's latest point and shoot.

Many phone still impose an artificial limit on the amount of texts or addresses you can have. It must be an engineering mindset holdover from those ancient 32Kb "personal organizers" which could store 'up to 500 phone numbers and memos!"

I'm sure it wouldn't stop you from trying, though it may be less than comfortable.

"Many other scientists" did not fudge numbers. In fact, pretty much any and every qualified scientist that has analyzed the data has come to the conclusion that humans are accelerating climate change and warming. Scientists hired by critics found the same result, even as they collected their paychecks from the…

Actually, you can use lasers to isolate photons, and that's one less photon to bounce off of something and make it "light."

You'd be all pissed off too if you always felt like crap due to malnutrition. I went to a college that was full of vegans, and the militancy with which they acted was alarming. I found it ironic, and also amusing, that several of the most militant ones actually had to start eating animal products again after they…

And the answer to that question is very easy: "Yes, the greenhouse gases produced by acts of humans (energy, industry, transportation, agriculture) are making a difference."

The GoPro is cool, but seems even more like a niche product than the Flip. For instance, you can actually pick up a Flip, and reasonably expect to be able to frame an image with it. From what I remember, there's not even a screen on the GoPro.
