Buy and return. Buy something from Sony, like PS2 or a camera, and then return it the day after. AFAIK, return items go pretty high up in the supply chain. Tell why you are returning it. Any problems with this?
If you're like Einstein, you respond to some e-mails immediately and let others wait. And, of course, some you never answer.
And every now and then, you find an old one in your inbox that you didn't even realize you had, and you reply.
Wow!!!! That is some deep journalism, right there!
It has been done. I recall a case in USA where people's properites were seized for a private development. Is that case a similar enough? Of course, that were just a bunch of nobody's and the benefitter was a million dollar company...
Ever see advertiser hunt? It goes like this: Bring tons of ammo, preferably something that scatters all over the place, like shotgun or machine gun. Put on a blindfold. Then shoot, shoot and shoot until you run out of ammo, and then take off the blindfold and see if you have hit something.
Sounds pretty stupid doesn't it? I'm running a light-traffic website about cameras, and I (currently) only have Google AdSense, and am trying out Amazon ads. I tested some other adbroker, and they bombarded my audience with stupid loans and mortage ads, they got pulled within days. Google Ads pay for hosting and leave a few extra dollars each month, and that is enough for me, as a publisher.
I think the next step is even more focused ads, why can't I tell the adbrokers what I am interest in, right now I'm looking for a new computer, where are my super offers? I actually have to go out and compare prices and features myself! Advertising should be a service, not an annoyance.
I haven't bothered to read the documents, but could this change the way sensors are designed? Currently, the sensor basically turn photons into electric current. If we could we simple mesure the wavelength and intensity, this could open the way up for radical new designs/implementations, right? Or am I just talking out of my ass here?
Somebody must have posted this but... As reported, an A4 sized page takes only 3 to 5 seconds to scan, and it is causing copyright concerns.
Obviously, these people have not heard of companies named Xerox, Canon or Konica. These companies make machines that can copy documents at lightning speed!
The Ipod family is a proof that design matters. Now if I only could convince my boss that we should write our software the same way. It isn't like industrial designers are paid less than software developers, right?
You have been such a geeks friend through the years. I guess my Palm Tungsten E will be my last Palm. GPRS/EDGE connections are coming down in price, and affordable for mortal people like us. I'm betting on Symbian, it has some neat features.
Good idea, and I don't think it would be too complex. w3.org validation does most of that already (sort of) you would "only" have to add specific browser problems...
But this "patent everything" is getting out of hand, and guess who will be the one to suffer? The patient applicants. Why? I'll tell you why: Because of all the stupid patents claims, people will lose respect for the patent process. Just wait until some random country (Ch*cough*ina) has the engineering knowledge to duplicate whatever patent they want, do they think they will think twice, especially since they can just shrug off any arguments, by pointing at those stupid patents? I think not.
I'm just glad to see BeFS 'instant-search' reappear in Tiger (Apple hired the brain behind BeFS) and copied in Longhorn, it really revolutionizes the way you organize your work. Now, if only somebody would come up with a replacement of those stupid, annoying little file save/open dialog boxes!
Hitachi will actually come out with drives that employ perpendicular-recording techniques toward the end of this year... So, it looks like it is finally happening for real...

A complementary pint of beer to start the day...
They better not hire me, I'm really depressed/grumpy/whatever until noon...

I have no idea how this relates to the story....
Science fiction? More like Science gibberish.
And I will STFU and never use Photoshop again...
I am amazed!
Seconded. Webhostingtalk really helped me.
Good idea, and I don't think it would be too complex. w3.org validation does most of that already (sort of) you would "only" have to add specific browser problems...
...what about text entry? One way PDA/Phones are ok, but with gadgets like these, I want to be able to enter data fairly quickly...
How about finishing Rendevouz with RAMA first? /love your acting, though.

Can't wait to see it. The Tibet (or wherever it is supposed to be) scenes were filmed few hundred km away from where I live.
Make sure TigerDirect knows of your decision.
So, since I have not seen the series, should I rent them, or see the movie first?
Are we now reporting Google news from the future?
