Maybe. When explaining things to laymen I tend to give them the whole story. When I'll be asked about this photo in the future, I'll put it like you said: I'll mention that they scan the underside but I won't mention under what circumstances the practice started. Thanks for the idea.
KDE's Dolphin file manager, coupled with Akonadi and Strigi (built-in, and seamlessly integrated) does everything that you are asking for. It runs best on Linux, but there are KDE Windows and Mac ports. Of course, that means that you must install all of KDE on that Winbox or Mac.
Note that in the past there was much criticism of Akonadi due to resource usage, but that has been taken care of for at least two major version numbers (KDE 4.5 and 4.6). Let us know how it works out for you, you are really going to enjoy the tools that KDE and Dolphin offer for file management and organization.
They should have folded up the robotic arm for the shot. The arm is extended it that position to check the tiles underneath the spacecraft, this has been done on every flight since Colombia was lost. Now everyone who sees these photos will be reminded of the Colombia disaster, when the thoughts should instead be centered on what an achievement is the docking of a space station and a reusable spacecraft.
Whether it is dealer policy or Ford policy for not giving the user the code I don't know. But in my case the result is the same. Maybe Ford should make it a policy or requiring their dealers to give out the codes.
If the facts regarding the case of my 2007 Ford Focus impress fear, uncertainty, and doubt upon those who read them, then complain to your friendly Ford engineer, not to me. There is no reason for me to not tell what happened.
The truth is full of caveats, but if it gets low enough to warrant replacement and one does not use jumper cables to wire in another battery (dangerous with the positive terminal being very short and near much metal) then the answer is yes. A simple jump start won't require dealer service.
I don't know if the dealer would charge for resetting the radio, because i found out about it when getting a quote from the dealer before changing the battery myself. I was lucky. As for the codes, they are not in the user's possession as that would defeat the purpose of having a code in the first place (the dealer's argument when I asked where the codes are). And in any case, even if the codes were in the user's possession, how many would even think to open the fine manual?
Also, I bet there will be a big handful of mechanics who get a nice 10A buzz when they remove the panels without properly discharging the capacitors first.
That's a feature, not a bug. Only authorized dealers can work on the thing -> monopoly on service. We already see this in the cars' computers, as well. Did you know that if a non-authorized dealer changes the battery in a modern Ford the radio won't work until the owner brings it in to an authorized dealer for service? Because only authorized dealers (and those who have been burned) know that the "anti-theft" radios disable themselves if they do not get continuous power. Protip: jumper cables to a third batters at the time of battery change prevents this situation.
That's, uh, not exactly all that out there, these days.
GP mentioned Windows. The Windows Server license that runs on 16 cores is really, really "out there" for home users. So we can assume that he is talking about a home OS, and for a home PC 16 cores really is "out there".
There are lots of changes under the hood. Thunderbird Conversations [1] was almost useless on Tbird 2.x, 3.0 and 3.1. For about a year now the extension has been developed with the next generation Tbird in mind (I think that it was called 3.4 internally, until yesterday). You are going to like Conversations!
software in the 90's followed the KISS mentality and all was good. you had tons of little executables to do little tasks. can we bring those days back? i dont need 1 app that does everything. i need 1 app that does 1 thing and only 1 thing very well and very cleanly and does it very lightly.
Software in the 90's was written by people who grew up with computers, not with people who entered the field for the lucrative opportunities (mostly). The "do one thing and do it well" mentality is the unix mentality. You might like Linux, in fact the current Firefox 4 on Linux has separate address and search fields.
Researchers from the California Institute of Technology have built [abstract] what they claim is the world's largest computational circuit based on DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
Thanks for the clarification. I had no ideas what the acronym DNA means, but of course I'm familiar with the term deoxyribonucleic acid.
I worked in a semiconductor fab for a long time and we used AMAT SEM machines that were manufactured in israel. The direct factory reps were all israeli as well. A lot of people think of israel as this war-torn middle east wasteland but that's just not the case. It's a very wealthy and prosperous country, even if they are expanding and displacing the native populace. They are bringing a lot of non-oil money into the region.
Don't forget, the reason that the French tried to block Israel's acceptance to CERN was to protect French tenders. It was nothing political, only business.

What is "strange-ass"? Is "-ass" some now-valid modifier, and what does it mean?
And Americans = terrorist supporters.

How many countries has the USA invaded recently? Whether you are better or worse than someone else is irrelevant. This is what you are.

Here's the relevant bug:

Then I won't bother convincing you. Have a nice week.

I don't know. Nice one!
It might be dealer policy, then, rather than corporate policy. I'll ask the dealer, thanks.

It would certainly be a no-go on any vehicle with any sort of secondary, fueled motor, be it gas, hydrogen, etc.
Why? Even if the vehicle in question lacks an ICE and liquid fuel, it has potential to crash into another vehicle so equipped.
yea, totally.

Tbird 3.0 has terrific search feature? What's missing for you, I'll point you to the right extension or file an RFE.
