Inhabitat.com has some conceptual illustrations and a map showing EV infrastructure, such as battery exchange stations, stretching from Sacramento to San Diego â" though this is far more extensive than the Bay Area program actually announced, which alone is estimated to cost $1 billion.
I always thought that was how EVs could be viable for long trips.
I simply don't like the music produced right now, and I don't think I'm alone. In the 60's through the 90's, the defining part of each piece of music was typically the melody. We listened to things that had beautiful sounds and chords. We had thought provoking lyrics that read like poetry, or lyrics that one could simply associate with.
Oh, that music is still being produced, just (mostly) not by the big recording companies.
On one hand, it isn't right to steal. On the other hand, nothing is being stolen. On one hand you have a bunch of jerks suing grandmothers. On the same hand you have a bunch of jerks suing college kids.
Fixed that for you.
I just wonder. I sometimes wonder if pirates leveled the playing field so that people got almost no monetary value from what they're making, would people stop making things altogether. And I think the amount being made would be reduced, but it wouldn't be gone completely.
I listen to music that people make and release for free. Creative Commons music is great. There are quite a few artists I enjoy, and if I like them enough, I donate money to them.
I think stuff would have to be funded from governments and foundations instead of trying to find a profit.
Well, I think some of the arts would return to commission work, like it was in the past. Some good musicians could make worthwhile profits by releasing their music online with a donation page or a fill-in-the-box-with-what-you-want-to-pay scheme. That is the system I want to see for music. One where I am able to hear an artist's music before I spend money, and then vote with my dollars who I think is the best. Software would be funded by gov't/bussinesses that benefit from said software.
Oh the fantastical imaginary worlds I create with my mind!
I agree, though. Society could benefit from more public domain and less copyrighted works. Too bad this is going to end in draconian laws.:(
I'm not avoiding HDMI, but I am avoiding everything else on your list. If I can't use media like I want to, I'm not going to buy it. Just because my display and gaming cards are HDCP compliant doesn't mean I'm going to buy any content I have to use a specific player for or that can't be used in linux.
This is the same reason I haven't bought music through iTunes. I'm not going to utilize an mp3 store that sells a majority of its songs with DRM.
Well, for starters, my university is not even in the 3G coverage area in my state. The dorm network (which is what this law effects) is only used with personal computers. The university not providing computer labs would prevent certain classes from being taught and would deny access to computers for a significant population of the student body. Computers are "real scientific equipment" for a lot of departments here. Students all use university-provided email, as every instructor has their class's mailing list the day classes begin. Many students here utilize the library and the student union for study environments. All of the popular computer labs are full from 10am to 3pm, and even at 3am they are 1/5th full.
Well, according to Engadget, ARM is getting into the netbook game. Think of it, a small laptop that is only used for document editing, web surfing, and other small tasks, with a very long battery life and a phenomenal standby time.
Of course the camera itself is about 65k, but then you need a lens for it which bumps it up especially if you need multiple different types of lenses since they all have to be custom made.
I don't think you need completely custom-made lenses.

Most of the reasons for complaining about Fallout 3's first-person perspective had to do with the idea that Fallout 3 would become more of a first-person shooter than an RPG, and those complaints appear to be correct.
I don't know about that... The VATS system really pulls me away from the FPS feel. My gameplay style actually allows me to rarely have to kill enemies without using VATS.
I'm just glad that Ubuntu can install without me unplugging one of my monitors, then setting up for dual-screen (at least with my system setup).

Sabayon has had that since at least 3.4, and it makes installing so much nicer.

Their next phone, the GTA03, which is currently in development will have EDGE, a camera, a 3.5mm jack, no compromised glamo chip, and a completely new case design.
I use Google services. I really enjoy the functionality.
I also have a Facebook account. As a college student, and a leader of a school organization, it is all but impossible to stay away from Facebook. I just keep my account as professional as possible. I sometimes post funny links and a few political links. I stray away from uploading many photos and make sure that I remove embarrassing tags from friends' photos.
Wait, aren't we already paying the social costs of drug use? The prison system isn't cheap. Neither are the ER overdose visits, the police enforcement, the lack of a tax on illicit drugs, etc. etc.
People who commit copyright violation are for the most part people who won't pay any price whatsoever for digital goods of any type.
I don't see this as true. I know many people that infringe copyrights by downloading, and they still legitimately buy digital media as well. Only a small percentage don't purchase any at all (think 2 of 15).
I support artists I like by buying media off their site, if they are unaffiliated with the RIAA. If they are with the RIAA, and they happen to have a concert in the area, I'll go and buy the album from them there.
Saying that, I still consume more than I spend at the moment...
People don't see why they should spend $400 on a player and $30 on a disc when they can spend $40 on an upconverting player and $5 to $15 on a DVD.
Past that, why are we upgrading to another optical media? I hate how easily discs can be broken and/or scratched. I have a USB key that has been dropped countless times and has gone through the wash twice with no corrupted data. Why would I want to spend a large amount of money on a medium that is prone to scratching and has to be handled every time I want to watch a movie?
7zip is screwed up in Linux. I installed a wine version, AND a native version, only the wine version will start and it flickers and won't let me select a package to extract. Making it unusable.
I've never had to use 7zip to extract anything in Linux. The default extractor in most distros has been sufficient.
Random crashes. I mean, probably as many or more as I get regularly in Windows, with the added inconvenience of ctrl+alt+bckspce not being near as good as ctrl+alt+delete, which brings up a handy task menu for me to clean up (usually).
Yet again, I experience just the opposite. Linux on my computer has crashed twice, and that was when I was messing with config files.
I like how Windows arranges it's GUI, start button, quicklaunch, then task list, then systray and clock. Less real estate, all the same functionality, but without a top AND bottom bar.
Stop using Gnome then. I have the "Windows" look on KDE3, and it was really easy to do. I'm assuming you are using Ubuntu. Just download Kubuntu and install it or, better yet, just 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop'.
Zsnes. Does not work in any way shape or form, or under wine.
Then try installing it natively. ZSNES has a linux version. You could also try SNEmul or Snes9x, which also have linux versions.

Atlantic Records is one of the most common plaintiffs in the RIAA cases. As far as I'm concerned they should rot in hell.
I think you say that for most of us, sir. Not only that, you actively take part in protecting innocents while fighting against them. Thank you.

How about you wish for an ARMv7-based netbook and an Ubuntu port instead.

Don't longer lines mean that more people are being treated? This is bad? Or is it that medical personnel are just not doing their job efficiently?

I refuse to believe this. I believe that most people when presented with facts will change their minds.
Well, OpenMoko itself is sold out currently. Other distributors are the only way to purchase the FreeRunner currently.
The screen is VGA (640x480) and you can actually plug in a keyboard as the USB connection can be used in host mode.
Yes, because we all expect reliability with a product in its alpha stages.
If they ever compile it for ARMv4 instead of ARMv5.

People argue that choice is good.
If nothing else KDE 4 would drive me away... yuck.
Uhm, there is definitely a reason people say choice is good.
KDE3 or e17 are my window managers of choice. I avoid Gnome like the plague.
