What about businesses that provide phones to their employees? They are allowed by a recent court decision to read the contents of the texts sent by the phone that they pay for.
Sometimes the every day user of the phone is not the owner of the device or the data/phone plan. In those cases I think they have a pretty clear right to do whatever they want.
I don't know much about the Andorid market place, but when I have seen people install apps on their iPhone they have to put in a username and password, even if the application is free.
Doesn't Andorid do the same thing? If so, you would have to be an authorized user to install the application via the Marketplace. Of course since you can install on an Andorid phone directly one could get around this I suppose but then not having it in the marketplace is actually a disadvantage.
Other than the fact that the word "Watashi" is longer than the word "I" it really isn't any more difficult it is in english. You type the word and you hit space, everything else is taken care of for you.
So you cite Keith Richards and Ozzy Osborne and just ignore any of the wealthy musicians who have access to high quality drugs who have still managed to kill themselves?
Do we really need to list all of the super rich musicians who have died from putting really dangerous stuff in their blood streams?
Being rich does not save you from an overdose. It might improve your odds of not ODing but it still happens to plenty of wealthy people. The ones that it doesn't happen to are lucky... or perhaps they actually have some pre-disposition to surviving heavy drug use.
I dont think anyone is going to go through every tag of John Smith to find the person they are looking for. Facial recognition software is a pretty big problem though.
Which is a problem in and of itself, but its only really a problem if you have a unique name. Sure, thats John Smith in that album but how do you know which John Smith.
Ive been enjoying SGU myself. I find the arc much more engaging than the more episodic content. Episodes like the one I watched last night I find kind of disappointing because they don't advance the arc that much (though, in the end most episodes have something relevant happen in them).
SG1 was pretty much dead. It did pretty well once the brought on the cast from Farscape but the writing was on the wall, it had a great run but it was time. I do think they canceled SGA a little early but its not like it didn't have a pretty good run itself.
And to play baseball all you need is the hand eye coordination of an ace fighter pilot (plus fast legs and a strong arm are nice).
I see what you mean though. If someone the size of Dustin Pedroia can win an MVP then at least the game isn't contingent upon a particular extreme body type.
by the time the ball has gotten through the gap, the player should already be part of the way to first base. If you started curving out before it actually gets through the gap then you are subject to ichiro flying out of right field, grabbing the ball and throwing it to first behind you while you are making your wide turn.
That said, sometimes you really do know that the ball is a double right off the bat, like when its on a line into the gap. Maybe in those cases players could take a slightly different route, my guess is that they already do, but it might not be as extreme as it could be in the optimal case.
Yea, but if the ball doesn't get past the outfielders, which would pretty much assure a double anyway, it will be in the hands of the second baseman very quickly, likely before the runner reaches second base.
taking a wide swing at first is a gamble. If the right fielder cuts off that ball in the gap they can throw the ball behind the runner making a big turn at first base and get them out. You are only allowed to over run first base if you are going straight, if you make the turn you are considered to be heading to second and can be thrown out at first. It doesn't happen much, but then runner usually don't gamble on a double until they are sure.
The difference in run expectancy for a man on second vs a man on first is at best about a quarter of a run so you would have to make it to second fairly often vs the number of times you get thrown out for this to be worth while. I figure it would be pretty close to the success rates calculated for stealing second.
Still, it is possible that slightly wider paths are used by the best base runners without getting quite to this extreme case of going for a double on every ball out of the infield. Maybe some of the faster players who hit a lot of doubles are already employing some of these tactics when the are "Thinking double right out of the box."
My suspicion would be that apple will be pretty selective about what goes in the mac app store. Frankly, I'm ok with them being more selective than they are with the iPhone store as long as I can continue to install applications from other sources.
I think Apple would do well to make sure that everything in the app store was best of breed and works properly and gives a positive user experience. Restricting the store only becomes an issue if you cant install applications downloaded from other sources.
I enjoy being able to see my friends who live in distant countries when I am chatting with them. Sure its not necessary, and I would probably never use it with someone I see every day, but in some ways, it is kind of nice.

We managed to do it all that with the same teachers and books and paper that the grandparent was talking about though.
Since we all, presumably, made it through school and got jobs why should we ever have to change anything about the way we teach kids?
I can understand no liking Caprica, but how can it not be Sci Fi? AI, robots, and virtual reality, that sounds like Science Fiction to me.
I think for some people here Sci Fi just means action adventure with space ships and lasers and explosions.

yea, 18 feet away the second baseman would just have to have the ball in hand for you to be called out.
