No comparison. Going 70-75mph instead of 65 is no great stretch and doesn't change situation on road much.
How does texting compare to a 10mph bump? I don't see your logic.
This is my take...public cameras are fine as long as the public has access.
And...if you are putting up cameras they need to be "the right kind" (enough mpixels for forensics) and archived for a decent period of time.
I only mention this 2nd fact after hearing that San Francisco's cameras aren't high-res nor are being archived (due to lack of $$ apparently).
I'm doing same as you. An N800 as remote for MythTV, XBMC, etc. and trying to use PP3 for custom IR stuff.
The N800 is also great for custom web pages to control sprinklers, lighting and security system.
The PP3 I think has the most potential due to builtin CIR (a/v infrared). I wish they'd put CIR on more devices.
Why do you need higher resolution than what's on N800 or PP3 if you're using them as "dumb" remotes though?
Spend as much time as you can on your current job trying to improve your skill set in valuable areas and this will improve your lot at current employ in addition to making you stronger for your next gig.
Read and do as much technical stuff offline from your job as you can (setup linux, dns, etc.).
You may find that your lot at your current gig has improved and you don't need to leave. Then again it may be time to go and you'll be in a better position to do it.
In S.F. on KMEL they didn't bleep "smokin' endo, sippin" for several years and then all of a sudden when the powers that be figured out what "endo" was they DID begin bleeping this word.
What should convince you is the bible's promotion of violence, degradation of women (promotion of polygamy) and children and anybody not a "neighbor" (foreigners).
The bible/religion has done absolutely nothing to promote love and understanding of the world we live in (i.e. kill all scientists and thinkers...meaning heretics and blasphemers and infidels).
Morals existed before the bible (long before) and will continue to exist long after it's demise. The long history of violence in "the name of god" has mostly been whitewashed by those in power...witness the continual censorship and revision of history (let's omit the ugly stuff).
It is a tool to keep the masses in line...learn your history and read the bible man.
Sick and tired of people switching to asshole mode at the drop of a hat...
Ok...now that that's done with.
I have to google for many things...whether Linux OR Windows. Google is a tool much like the calculator used to be (but 1 bazilliion times more powerful).
I use it to back up what I "think I know" with what others are seeing/doing...whether you're smart, mediocre, or dumb as a brick...use google and you're better off period. Trying now to get my mom to do the same (you can lead a horse...er mom to water, but...).
With Google even 'stupid' people can be 'smart'....but they have to be 'open-minded' and willing to learn. THIS IS THE HURDLE FOR MOST PEOPLE. Just go into 'open book' mode with your brain and people w/be amazed at what they will learn. This is what has got me past racial/sexist/etc. thinking as a kid (I'm 42 now...sigh).
After stopping Linux installs after RH9 (didn't get into the whole Fedora thing) I went to Ubuntu (like a year ago). RH9 although slightly less friendly at install time (but not by much) really and truly worked without crashing EVER (ok it did once and shoutcast would cause cpu choke causing reboot...but this is due to my not googling probably).
Only issues I had with ubuntu were standby/hibernate and Automatix issues (for dvd, mp3, etc.). Yes I always break out into a sweat when repartng...but I do this whether I'm using PartnMagic (which has hosed my machine several times) or diskdruid/etc. With linux repartn tools I have 100% faith they will work correctly (unlike Windows)...but I worry about my own mistakes with disk/partn sizes...but a simple scan of disk partns in Windows (and writing crap down on paper) fixes this...or googling.
Other posters brought up fact that Windows is NO more friendly when doing what original poster said but in reverse (I have linux on laptop and want to add in Windows).
As coder for 20+ years (started with Apple ][) and user of MOST operating systems (cept' mac)...it is my honest belief that Windows...although 'easier' to install (if nuttin' else is on your machine)...is detrimental in long run due to crapware, security/stability issues and closed-source/legacy nature of OS.
I'm happy Windows has A2DP (bluetooth stereo), OneNote/Office, etc. But when you really pound the thing...it fails flat on it's ass and you have to reboot. Windows still requires reboots even when installing application-level software (like Adobe).
Linux (in general) doesn't fall flat on it's ass (but I've had bad ubuntu experiences though)...but does require some 'learning' at various places...like wanting to dual-boot, install mp3/dvd, etc.
Windows does 'hide' things from average joe...but this is often what ends up causing problems...like slow booting, etc.
If you're not an asshat (not directed at u)...all you need to do is go on an appropriate forum (read ESR posting notes first!) and succinctly state your problem and there are like 1M people willing to help you...
take care.
You're making me laugh pimpimpim...and that isn't good as I just had surgery.
I just dropped 50lbs and no longer fit into this category thankfully. Couldn't say this for past 10 years though...
Siyavash...you need some meds pronto. You are at a minimum anti-social and paranoid and may have psychotic tendencies. Funny how many lose all sense of social decorum when on forums...or do you act like an ass on the street too?
He didn't 'dictate' how anyone should use their computer...merely that if you are incapable of googling and attempting 'compsci 110' skills...you're better off having somebody else do the 'heavy lifting' for you.
Take some deep breaths dude.
If I were the seller I would've offered the (lower $ but winning buyer) a check for $10K and pocket the extra $90K after completion of higher 'transaction'.
When I ordered some crap from china ($5) I noticed the shipping was $70! (and this was for item size of deck of cards and same weight!).
What I did was send check to seller for amount of item and told them to "keep it and resell" a win-win on both sides...but boy were they PISSED!
We need 'portable' radios...and I'm not talking GSM. We need programmable radios capable of working on any frequency.
Phones are too coupled to their carrier for things like 3G...and NOT upgradable (in perpetuity) like a PC is.
I could conceivable stay with my 8525/Hermes for many years...but at some point it will be deemed a "dead" device and I will no longer be able to upgrade to WM7, etc. And at some point many sites will be using the new flash/etc. technologies which I won't be able to put on my phone.
My phone is locked to ATTs network in more ways than one. I could quit service with them...but which carrier could I then switch to with my phone? None.
I don't even want a phone-sized form factor...I would rather have phone capabilities via an add-in card on my UMPC or TabletPC...but these cards are for data only. This would let me strip out all unnecessary phone/vendor crap and just have basic voice/data via some other 'master' device.
When this day arrives (and when I can strip out voice service too...I make like 5mins calls/mo!) I will be quite happy...and wallet will be fatter.
I thought it was frequent/same messages sent that caused Enigma to be cracked?
Something about goering's bday hello on same time as prior year? I read this in Enigma book my grandpappy gave me.
Interesting stuff about American and English workers on crypto project too...they were told they would be killed if they mentioned anything to anybody.
And the gov't actually checks codecs on your machines during an audit?
This seems highly doubtful. Audits are generally done against security measures setup by company.
I have been thru sox and pci audits and this is all they care about...not media players.
I mention because we had u-verse rep in our neighborhood trying to get easement for "box" they need to install.
He indicated cat6 to homes.
When I found out no FO...I politely declined.
The two major advantages that Blu-ray has right now is ...
2. Studio support. HD-DVD just doesn't have the support to turn out enough titles. Warner and Universal alone just aren't going to cut it.
Point #2 is not true.
In case you haven't heard...porn is major driver/seller in industry...and b-ray requires millions in startup costs to mint discs...hddvd only requires 200K. Smaller porn productions may only gross several million, so costs are out of line w/profits.
With sony's public stance on revoking keys of xxx publishers/etc...hddvd w/be used almost exclusively by vivid/etc. There are supposedly a handful of b-ray porn titles...but this doesn't exclude fact 99% of hd porn w/be hddvd.
Everybody who watches porn...will opt for the porn-approved player...and that's hddvd.
You don't know squat...wrt54gl is incredible peoduct that finally solved connectivity issues for various wifi products in my home...from desktop to laptop to pda/embedded.
The wrt-dd distro just works...you are an idiot for making such statements...w/no facts to back them up.
How's suspend/resume working on that laptop? Or usb web cameras....or bluetooth...or ?!?
I thought so....linux has a ways to go for seamless desktop/laptop install.
Progress in this area is at a snail's pace....and I am a linux user.

What about xul (xml, css, js)?
C'mon man...who do you think proposed the bill? Not the congressman...rather a lobbyist for business who's in his pocket.

I think they were referring to a "Slave Leia" starwars poster on thinkgeek's home page.
