Adding keyword hints like "site:wikipedia.org" or "tesla -nikola" (if you are looking for the car, not the person) can be useful. But not necessarily in the same context as the examples given.

assuming anything about fahrenheit 451 to be true. if your computer gets upwards of 80C you're going to have a bad time (need better cooling anyway). 100C is 212F. Which is less than half of 451F. So we know a hot computer is noticeably less than half of the combustion point of paper.

Makes enough sense, except that they've already agreed that someone can pay 22,500$ per song. That's already far above the actual price of the song.

Yeah. the official samsung name is usually "galaxy s 2" and sprint turns it into the galaxy s 2 epic 4g touch

iphone, iphone 3g, iphone 3gs, iphone 4, iphone 4s.

Its a cross between advantage and danger. In a highly competitive situation, you need to be on par with your opponents. It's not the ability becomes so amazingly great... its that the other opponents are now (essentially) forced into doing steroids themselves if they want to stay in the game. Give it a few years and…

I need not know mythbusters did that test! Though arguably that would be somewhat the same concept. High pressure inside, structural weakness causes the container to fall apart. (just the size of the weakness is what it in debate here)

Good to know!

awesome! I was mostly thinking of snakes on a plane. Even though I'm aware movies are usually wrong, the physics behind a highly pressurized plane causing all the air to try to rush out through one point seemed to make sense, although I was not fully aware of specifics.

"The boy was probably unlucky in that when he opened the can, it was the exact moment the pressure inside the can was too much for the can to handle—thus the explosion and thus, the sharp aluminum edge slicing his cheek."

as a nerd, I like my devices clean. not a super fan of the "8.0 mp" sticker next to the camera where the speaker is on the s3. although I DO like the sleeker looking speaker on the bottom.

perhaps that is explained by the * after supported in the "avoid" list.

My bad, I for some reason i was thinking A) next was 1999 when I read it. B) was thinking about how in windows 3.11 my computer always had the program manager sized so there was always a strip across the bottom so you could access all programs... but that wasn't an official windows feature/dock. I was thinking the…

arguably a dock is just the same thing as the windows start bar with pinnable stuff that stays there when closed, using just icons instead of a full bar for each. So the concept was not entirely original. The design was, yes. The dock in OSX is very beautiful. But the functional concept, no.

because there are far cheaper options that do the mp3 functionality just as good. if i had to carry around a bag of gadgets to replace my high tech phone, and I dont get to benefit from all the other perks of an iPod (its going to be used as an mp3 player only), then I'd go for smaller/cheaper.

an ipod? am i not allowed to use other mp3 players to replace my android phone?

It does mess up innovators too. If a cool new innovation has 5 parts and 1 of those is a simple thing (like a multi-touch gesture) whereas the other 4 parts are something completely new and unthought of before, then yes, it has hampered innovation.

So basically this is everything I've said with more insight as to why they are smash talking it. It would be Steam insisting that having EA Origins would be bad for PC gaming and making windows into a mess.

unless it was an EXburglar who told you those things.
