What? Sarcasm? Most people I know love their outdated android phones. I run a Symbian Nokia, but I made the mistake of buying an iPad. It good hardware, but the app store is hopelessly crippled in my country. All the interesting stuff requires me to be be in America with an American credit card. I would never buy an iPhone for that reason alone. Bottom line; consumers will only tolerate lockin if they can get what they want, and apple is in the business of screwing their non US customers. Also the ui sucks. I think based on this, outside of the US, apple will lose a lot of ground.
I think most people do. Heck if I could pirate avernum for the iPad (not available in my region and nobody has ripped it), I'd send Jeff Vogel the cash....
I believe we get the 4 core version.:) If it there is nothing better, it will be my next phone when my contract expires in September, though there will no doubt be something better by then...
Depends. Industrial 3 phase motors depend on frequency not voltage. In all probability the motors here are scaled down versions and driven by electronically varying the frequency. It is very common on small systems since 3 phase inverters are easy.
Might I suggest everyone go to my clean pc and lodge complaints with the better business bureau. Read http://thebloodysiteabove.com/privacy-policy.html , and look down to the relevant paragraph. Either that or spam their emails with goatse....
I am an industrial engineer, and I would like to point out to you you are talking rubbish. Very few processes I have seen lend themselves to that sort of thing. Heck even the food industry here uses steam/coal/electricity at about the same rate 24/7. Almost all heavy industry runs 24/7 simply because it would be too expensive to shut down. At best places like this (normally on a notified maximum demand tariff) can barely avoid exceeding their NMD, let alone reducing it. Demand control on any significant power user affects the bottom line in a very real way, and from experience is bypassed 9 times out of 10 after it is implemented.
When you have businesses that struggle even in the slightest, and you screw the bottom line, they will fail. China is bloody hard to compete with.
Offtopic - mydirtypc: If you go to the Privacy Policy link on their site, they give you a link to the Better Business Bureau. Here I guess many many people could lodge many many complaints. I was honestly just looking for the support email so I could sign them up for bestiality pr0n....
Ontopic: I don't care much what people do with the data I post online. It is worth $0.00 to me, and not all of it is accurate anyway. If it did have value, I would not post it. Why the fuss? If someone can make money out of it, well, good for them. But I never click on adverts...
This. Also, I ran huge volumes of pages through opera turbo. It was invaluable back when I lived in a country with expensive and slow internet. I did use it back when it was add supported a lot too, and would have paid if I could have. Opera is probably the best browser I have ever used. I like the interface and I like the way everything works. I would very much regret it's death or mismanagement by some overrated social networking site.
I get a tab in windows labeled alternative configuration. Not sure why you don't? I use windows xp or 7 pro, though, and I do this a fair amount for work. I have never tried to use both network configs at once, since I normally put the ip addresses on separate networks. There is a way to do this under Linux too. Not sure how from the GUI though. This feature is really useful for me since I often have to connect my laptop to the clients networks in order to test/reprogram firmware.
The point you and most other sibling posters have missed about this is that back then we had a high tolerance for error. If the boat was late because of the weather, it was late. By the time we had commercial flight there were enough radio beacons to keep things relatively on time. Take away that technology and a lot of modern business falls apart. If we have to wait for a clear day to fly, how will you make your meeting? Attend to that breakdown 2000km away?
Like it or not, technology is useful. I'm not saying pilots/ship captains should not be able to operate without it in emergency conditions, but I am saying that technology is an integral and important part of our modern world. And believe it or not, it can save lives.
Well, lets assume that there is no GPS. You navigate by ground based radio beacons. Guess what anyone with a big transmitter can do to those? So, whats left? Visual navigation? Only works if you can see your reference point(so, at night or in fog, you're screwed). That leaves for ships, what? Stars? If you can see them.
Like it or not, the issue is not the technology. It is the fact that you have some asshole country who wants to mess with it. A political problem, which has no genuine technical solution.
Hmm.. slashdot lost half my comment. Weird... In summary, chown and chmod would permanently fix needing root to copy or move files (unless those files were not supposed to be messed with by a normal user). The arrow keys and the backspace key work on my keyboard so I can correct errors on the console. The tab (autocomplete) key works better than windows... Not sure what your problem is there.
For every little file move or copying of files, I HAD to get root access and type in a command. There was no GUI way to do some things (as far as I know). And there's really no way to correct a typing mistake in command line. That got to really be annoying. *
Wait... What?
I use vmware player (virtual box is OK too) to run all my windows software in a virtual environment. Wine may be better than it was, but I haven't used it in years. I can't ditch windows because I need software for industrial controllers that is windows only, but fine in a virtual environment. Is running linux a bit more work than running windows? Sure. But it is worth it for me. Perhaps not for you if you struggle with the file permissions concepts. Still, eventually when windows catches up to linux (they've been making slow but steady progress on the issue), you will have to learn anyway.
Possibly a wooden floor and she bent it downwards, causing the angle of the mantel to change slightly(just enough to destabilize it). Combined with the air movement from her passing, and gravity, it could be enough...

You Sir are a gentleman and a Scholar.
Anything from spiderweb software. Most games. A couple of utilities. Thankfully iSSH works.

South Africa? I am here now. Sure there is poverty and chaos, but it is far from hell. Try our northern neighbour...
Replying to correct myself. They depend on frequency for speed. Current for torque, and voltage for not blowing up spectacularly.

I hope not. I actually like Opera.

Yes. I have done so several times.
Precisely.

Welcome to planet earth. The above is politics. Enjoy your stay. :)
Fine for an emergency. Not ok for normal operations.
That's politics.
Political. You can't just fire that for no reason. Basically you're saying "invade them." are you American? :P
