I have a mytouch 4g, it had flash installed with android 2.2, it works ok on the tmobile network and in my own wifi. Not awesome but way better than my powerbook g4 with 10.4.11.
Operated by remote control, the robot spotlights trespassers on property down the street from his bar, O'Terrill's. Using a walkie-talkie, Terrill belts out through the robot's loudspeaker, 'That's private property. You guys need to get out of here.'" This is not a robot.
I've seen this at boing boing and here and no one changed the headline to remote controlled water hose with a speaker. Robots need to have a computer in them or at least some circuits, so they can be programmed. Also when those drug dealers get an idea that the fat guy with the remote control is the guy behind the barbecue on wheels, I imagine a few bullets will fly his way.
It's not the kids, not the teachers, not the public, its the security camera company. And its not only a contract to put the cameras in schools, they are sprouting up at many corners of the city, to make more revenue since the city is pretty much broke, yet they spend money in this camera system. So far this system gave me two tickets for "moving violations" that a cop would have not cared about. The damage? 100 dollars each. Some one is making sure to get a nice contract to this company.
My son is 3 and 4 months and he loves ri-li , supertux and childsplay as well as other debian games, I set up a imac g3 for him and told him "this is your computer", it dual boot OS X tiger and when ever I boot mac he tell's me that he don't like that and to put his computer on! It helps since he wanted my computer all the time (just to push buttons), also it will play his dvd's as well!, its teaching him coordination with the mouse and also the letters and numbers on the keyboard. Also keeps him away from the tv.
The only thing that might drop the accident rate is the near-gridlock in Bangalore will extend to total gridlock, preventing any motorized movement at all. mod this guy up!
If the components inside were the same you find in a regular box, things that you can replace just like any desktop, then Dell is in the right track. If your Imac has a problem you go to apple and pray they can fix it, that is if you got apple care, if not good luck on ebay. If dell makes a machine that can take little space and look good, on top of being able to replace any part of it (including the flat screen), at your local Microcenter, Tigerdirect, or Fry's, then you got something there. Who cares what OS they have on them when you buy them, they both can take linux!
I installed Debian Lenny on my imac g3 and put all kinds of kids games and learning tools, I then told my 3 year old son it was his computer, he looked at me with shinny eyes and jumped to the computer at once. Since then he learned how to turn it on (i have to put in the user and password), with KDE he can find his favorite games and tuxpaint and such, its hard to get him off of it, he also watches his movies there which I ripped for him. Lots of good games for toddlers in Debian, he has not tried the internet yet and am glad. I also have a mac osx partition in this machine, he usually tells me that he don't like that and to turn "his computer" on instead.
I agree, its true that some people will try to abuse of the freedom of the software, but the manufacturers are realizing that in fact they can sell their machines with a free OS or with out one at all. Making them free as well from the monopoly. I imagine that at some point that will be the conventional way to sell machines and that microsoft will be the optional install for an extra fee. It just makes sense. But maybe am too optimist.
And other freedoms as well, we have seen in the last few weeks that any kind of different thinking or opinions or even in this case, fashion, is a cause for reaction of the worst kind, we can get tasered, shot, arrested, and even in forums like this, called names for trying to make a statement of any kind. Its a sad day when the reaction to fee thought & speech are guns. The USA is out of control. And don't tell me that they are keeping me safe, they are keeping everyone afraid that's it!.
Why moderate parent as troll, he is giving a good excuse to use ipods and none apple software, I think there are some macfanboy troll moderators around .
I use Bittorrent to download bicycle races, they are almost imposible to watch on tv in the USA and on directv they suck, directv puts so much advertisement that is anoying to watch anything. I can download 21 days worth of a tour (italy, france, spain) and watch with out comercials thanx to the uploaders work. I use demonoid and even if you are not a suscriber you can download 3 torrents a week (they have to be fresh uploads), since the mayority of the torrents are from european television, Bittorrent is a superb alternative to watch other nations tv.
This "news article" had no info no links to who or what this person did, the hyperlink leads to a site that has nothing to do with the article. The blog just boasts that the kid (no age) broke a "filter" but not which or where, I imagine that it was in Australia, since the page is from there. All around very unprofessional and suspect. Any other links?
When people revolt against this real id thing or any other of the patriot acts, weather they are American citizens with all the rights or legal immigrants with green cards, they are going to be considered terrorist. That is the next step and its already into law . At this point, anything can be considered to be "threatening" the security or integrity of Irak, as this law is so open an vague, this is the first real fascist way to "control" people. People will be subject to arrest with no legal recourse, no charges, no limit of jail time, no trial. Their assets and property will be taken away, and they will end up in a gitmo type of place. Be a politician, legislator, mechanic, news person, secretary, CEO, or anything.
The reason the U.S.A. changed from paper voting to electronic voting (without paper trail), was one of logistics, you see, when you have a computer do the work its easier to rig and corrupt (and cheaper) the election. Having people do the work is expensive, since you have to pay off too much money so they keep quiet about the cheating, (or keep them scared for life if they don't want the money). So having machines do the cheating you only have to pay off the developers and a few key people that will do the actual rigging of the votes. Its also faster in the delivery of fake results.
How about putting those tiles, (or others of better quality), all over the space ship?, it seems as if you put them on the top side as well as the under side there is an option at re entry to flip to the undamaged side (and its more likely to be undamaged since that side won't get ice projectiles from the main tanks). Just a thought.
So if I happened to have an internet radio station that does not make any money, then 10% is 0, correct?, now, what if am an artist and I broadcast my own music on this station, do I have to pay this people to transmit my own work?, that sounds like MAFIAA tactics to me.
I never needed automatix to install codecs, for the most part they were available in external repositories that just had to be either downloaded (when it was possible) or just included in the apt sources.list, get the key and that is it, apt-get install. I'm an average user with just the minimal knowledge to do things and set up systems, when i don't know how to do things I use google, go to forums etc.., I believe that if you are going to use a particular system be it windows, linux or mac, there is the need to learn to use it, not just turn on the computer and everything will work automatically, for the most part americans like their remote controls, but computers are not televisions, so please take the time to learn how to use what ever system you want to use, including how to install codecs, the illegality part of some of them, well, its an other issue.
As I understand it, in Australia its a civic obligation to vote, not a right, punishable with fines if one does not participate?, am not sure of the fines thing, but it seems to me that its an obligation to be part of the democratic process, maybe we should take the same measures here in the U.S.
Talk radio is Ok right?, like the linux radio programs made in the US, I hope that is not going to be harm with this stupid laws. Maybe no more music between words but everything else is not RIAA sanctioned correct?.

Then the people could see how they (people in irak and afganistan) are living in a house with contaminated water, air and soil pretty much north south east west and all around Baghdag (remember Rumsfeld btw), because of the depleted uranium (and plutonium) that the the government of countries like the USA, the UK and other organizations like NATO or Black Water (mercenary army) use to bomb people all over the world.

Parent's links are way more informative than the apple.com links from the original post. To bad i runned out of mod points.
Why moderate parent as troll, he is giving a good excuse to use ipods and none apple software, I think there are some macfanboy troll moderators around .

You mean scam people, steal elections, lie and run correct?...

I guess this phone is not for the blind, with no buttons there is no way to know what you are doing, on top of not needing to watch youtube.
Talk radio is Ok right?, like the linux radio programs made in the US, I hope that is not going to be harm with this stupid laws. Maybe no more music between words but everything else is not RIAA sanctioned correct?.
