Personal computers and Casio watches both keep time using a 32.768 kHz quartz crystal.
The difference is one of oscillator stability. The Casio crystal is not typically a better grade of crystal,
but it has the advantage of being kept at a pretty constant 89 degrees F by virtue of being strapped to your wrist,
a factor that the Casio engineers design for, while the general practice among PC motherboard makers is, "Who cares, Windows will set the clock anyway."
Netflix Watch Instantly is like the CrapWare bin at the big box store; you paw through it hoping to find a gem, but it really is mostly just crap.
The new interface didn't bother me, because I usually know what I want to put in the queue or watch before I log in.
They sprayed herbicide, not insecticide.
Open-field testing of GM plants is an inconceivably bad idea. Fifty cops can't stop cross-pollination with unmodified crops.
We can stream Netflix using either our Wii or our Sony Blu-Ray player.
I use the Sony, because I think the picture quality is better. They use the Wii because the UI is simpler and a lot easier to read.
Actually, MS got DOS by buying QDOS from Seattle Computer Products. At the time, Digital Research's CP/M was the leading OS.
It was a failure to negotiate a contract with DR that sent IBM to MS, who licensed them an OS they didn't have, but bought QDOS and created
DOS 1.0 from that.
Yah, I have the Pre Plus, and the home button location is now a swipe area. The only thing I've found that takes two hands on the Pre Plus is sliding open the keypad.

Changing the password would not have helped, VZ has access to the ActionTec via port 4567, which can't be blocked using the ActionTec's firewall.
just outside of Kenmore Square in Boston.
They had an unbelievable assortment of used equipment (in 1977 I saw a prototype Shell gas pump with a credit card reader in it).
The owner, Sonny Monosson, used to walk around outside computer conventions wearing a sandwich board pitching used IBM 360s.
I'm assuming this is either an 8088 or 8086 chip. Many people learned embedded programming on these chips, and there are probably millions of them in use in embedded systems around the world.
Actually, I'm pretty sure the Equity I has an NEC V20 chip.
In the original Polaroid Land cameras, the film came in a roll, not a cassette. The photo had to be manually separated from its negative. Polaroid supplied a hardening agent (for scratch resistance), which was a wet, waxy stick that the user would wipe across the photo. It was common to wave the photo to dry the hardener.
During the SX-70 development, the chemists had to adjust the reaction rates to accommodate peoples' habit of waving (and cooling) the photos. Polaroid also supplied a "warming clip", which was shaped like a broad money clip. The intention was to place the photo in the clip, then place it under your arm for warmth.

My only regret is that I have no mod points to offer you for a superb pop culture Cold War reference...
I run Ampache on a little underpowered Ubuntu box, and regularly stream to my Palm Pre phone.
There appear to be several Ampache clients for Android.

..and according to http://it.slashdot.org/story/11/04/29/0254215/Amazon-EC2-Crash-Caused-Data-Loss, the DPW mistakenly pushed some of the cars into the old abandoned quarry.
If you'd like to give me a portable, sunlight-readable billboard for free, that's just fine.

or is that too obvious?

The Palm Pre simply requires an upward flick to return from an app.

Sounds like a design defect in the card, not the game.
You really should be using petacorns or teracorns for something this big. ..and a spell checker.
It launched 1-April. Did it really take the Mods two days to post this?

Cut apart a rectangular 9V battery, and inside you will find 6 AAAA cells, which will serve as AAAs in a pinch...
