vicki, I think the ipad is a perfect solution for 95%+ of your needs, if not more.

Fucking moron with computer source question......

So assume that everyone here cares as much as you do, did as much critical listening and thinking as you would, and just didn't bother to write a fucking peer fucking reviewed fucking article for some fucking scholarly fucking journal that no fucking body would fucking read, ok fuckbag? -

We're not a stringent scientific comparison forum. We're friends having conversations. If you continue to treat it like a debating society for geeks, you're gonna have trouble. -

No one else called it lowly either, no one is attacking the position that it's possible to have other paths to success. You're inventing a strawman and being a jackass about it. The people that I know who use amarra didn't buy it because some salesman or forum told them to. Saying that Al, Jeff, and John are suckers (which is what you're doing) is insulting my friends with baseless criticism. You're talking out of your ass, and being a condescending prick. It's people like you that discourage less technical people from even considering the free solutions, because so many high profile jackasses espouse your position. So go over to the computer as source forum at headfi, or to hardocp, or to whatever other place you want, and be a snobbish jerk there. If you stay here, get over yourself and act like you would in someone else's living room. -

No one is telling you to buy amarra. I don't give a fuck if you even listen to music. It's not retarded to spend money instead of time. It's not retarded to spend money for a better user experience. It's not retarded to think do or want something different than you do. And really, "harden the hell up?" Get over yourself. -

I'd say my software is set up properly as is. And software like foobar is so esthetically displeasing that I can't imagine it ever being something I'd want to use. The big point in question tho is you're being a condescending jag bag. Take that shit elsewhere, prick. -

Free software is only free if your time is worthless. If given unlimited time to make something else, sure maybe you could improve on what something else commercial does out of the box. If you don't want to spend your money that way, don't, but it doesn't make the people who can afford it and choose that lesser being than you. -
38mm is I believe the size of the classic rolex.

But it's not supposed to warm up again until next weekend, and is supposed to snow off and on all week.

I think vastly superior might be overstating things, but hey, more power to you. -

The reason people spend money on a different playback method even tho it's still "just bit perfect" is that they hear a difference, and believe that something else must be involved. Bit perfect just accounts for the data, not the timing, so there could very well be something else involved. The human brain is an interesting thing. It is capable of perceiving things we don't yet know how to quantify. -

First, all the cloud computing companies promise to safeguard your data, so it's not like your codes are equally available to all, any more than they would be on any other networked system. Second, there is nothing about the ipad that would prevent you from connecting to a private system on your internal network that would then tell you how to execute your trades via a separate system.

The last episode felt rushed, but otherwise, the show got REALLY interesting once they announced it was done.

Ok, so the way it seems to me, the ipad opens options. You can use it with your windows or linux box running vnc. You can use it with your mac server. You can use it with amazon's cloud, you can use it with google's cloud. You can use it with apple's cloud. You have the ability to pick where your data resides, and it doesn't have to be on the device you bring with you. It's not limiting, it's freeing. Using a computer that's somewhere else means you're not tied to a location. As to the OMG GOOGLE AND APPAL WANT MY BITS, honestly, I really don't get the objection. Instead of seeing ads about chevy malibus, I get ads for german sportswagons. Instead of getting ads about bose, I get ads about Audio Technica, etc. They don't want your specific data, individual data points are boring. Macro-data is what's interesting. The weather modelling systems don't report what the weather is like in sector (1112552124,126233623,774213266), they just use that as part of the model that says "It's gonna snow like a bitch in raleigh".

Now take into account the new apple datacenter in nc.

The way supercomputing works is you have a large remote system where the work is done, and a small client system where you manipulate the results. This is just taking that cocept home. The future isn't less powerful computers, it's easier access to more powerful computers. You pick your interface, with the features you find important.

It's what netbooks were intended to be. It's a toy for people who want a toy. It's a simple computer for people that want a simple computer. It's a very flexible, easy to program, light computer that can do almost anything, given a little creativity. It's just a new direction, not a rehashing of things that didn't work in the past.
