No UAV is capable of fighting a mannned air craft and winning.
Given there's 1:100 ratio in cost when compared to an F-22, do you suppose say... 30 predators could take down a fancy aircraft like that? The military would still be ahead in the $$$ wars and no human lives would in danger...
Did Nokia have a multitouch screen 3 years ago? Did they have an app store? Does the N90 have a video accelerator? Does it have this.. that.. blah blah?
Do you have a point? It's pretty easy to spin you argument around.
As far as being 'expensive', $199 -- hell, $99 -- with a contract too much for you? I didn't realize the N90 was a free phone... Of course it isn't, even though its from 2005, refurbished and used, it's selling north of $200... STILL. The Nokia N90 MSRP was $799.
Windows is a 32-bit extension to a 16-bit graphical
shell for an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.
Out of billions of computers, 6000 sounds infinitesimally tiny. It's a fraction of a fraction of a percent at best... I understand prevention is important, but I mean, can we blow this up anymore? Yeeesh...
This is honestly insightful, because the more they work on it, the more it will suffer from the heavy weight of feature creep. I hope their claim of 'modular' is still in the plans.
It's theorized that the gravitational pull of a blackhole -- although incredibly strong immediately near it -- is severely limited in range. (comparatively speaking). It isn't unlike our own solar orbit. Sure, we gravitate around the sun, but we're slowly moving away from it. Granted, there are other reasons for that, but it shows you what little influence gravity has to 'pull' something toward it.

Obama's "ZuneGate"
·
· Score: 0, Redundant
Understand that isn't the issue here. The issue is that Obama is a Mac user and Zune requires proprietary software to load it with music. That software is not Mac compatible.
Just to be fair, there ARE some people who can't upgrade to FF3. I'm thinking of Mac OS users. FF3 only works with 10.4 or higher. So many of those with G4 Macs are left in the dust.
I'm unsure of Windows compatibility, but Windows XP *is* over 7 years old, so users of older PCs are probably in good shape, at least.
MoonSecure has an on-access scanner and is based on the ClamAV project.
As much as I want to toot the horn for ClamAV, the fact is, it just isn't 'good' compared to the other Windows AV players. I've used it at least a few dozen times over the span of a few years and it just doesn't find as much (harmful) stuff as the other big AVs. (Scanning infected client systems).
Yes, I have heard about a plan to directly address home owners who cannot pay their mortgages. It may not be a 'bailout' in a sense, but I'll share what I know.
I only heard a blurb about it on the news a week ago or so, but I remember hearing something about $300 billion, more affordable loans and that it applies to those who have consecutively missed 3 or more mortgage payments and something about extending loans from 30 to 40 years in some cases, with lower interest. Eligibility supposedly depends on income in proportion to mortgage payments as well as some other fine print. I also remember hearing that people who HAVE been making timely payments but are still struggling are upset (obviously). And lastly, I don't know if it was a proposal or something that was actually passed, but maybe you can find more information about it -- if it peaks your interest.
I did a quick search, but couldn't find what I'm talking about, at least not apart from all the usual mortgage and bailout nonsense in the news. Otherwise I'd provide a link. I may be completely wrong too.;)
After his panel at the New York Times' 6th Annual Arts & Leisure Weekend, EW sat down with Mission: Impossible III helmer and Lost creator J.J. Abrams to get an inside look at his new enterprise: a Star Trek movie. While it isn't clear when we can expect to see the film, which will be the 11th in the series, he confirmed a draft of the script is done, and it will be trimmed sometime soon.
So what, exactly, will be the plot? Early reports (like this one in Variety) said that it will focus on the young, post-Starfleet Academy days of James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock, but Abrams wouldn't specify. Still, he assured us it's a story that even non-Trekkers can enjoy. ''On the one hand, for people who love Star Trek, the fix that they will get will be really satisfying,'' he says. ''For people who've never seen it or know it vaguely, I think they will enjoy it equally, because the movie does not require you to know anything about Star Trek. I would actually prefer [that] people don't know the series, because I feel like they will come to it with an open mind.''
This video (which is in english, so who knows if it is right) pronounces it something like this:
Chan - 'an' as in 'wand'
dra - 'dra' as in 'drain', but the 'r' sounds like a soft d
yan - 'yan' as 'yawn', but without the 'w' and perhaps held a little longer.
Again, this is based on an British-English speaking video I found, but it sounds like he makes an attempt to pronounce it outside of his own language. Maybe someone who actually speaks the language will respond.
If a person moves to a different state can the state they left behind still enforce their laws on that person? Can the state of New York force the state of California to enforce actions that are illegal in the state of California?
Maybe that was rhetorical, but yes; well, the things agreed to in that state, at least. Contractual obligations transcend state lines according to the constitution (for what it's worth).
And about the promises.. I'm all for people upholding their promises. We could definitely use more of that.:)
However, I feel like this is thought-crime territory. The whole purpose of the non-compete is to stop you from divulging company secrets - But the method which they employ makes you promise not to work for another company in your area of expertise... or don't work at all. If it were just one company doing this, it wouldn't be so bad. But I'm betting all the big corporations do, as well as many upstarts and smaller companies because it has become the industry norm.
I happen to think you can very much keep a promise of non-disclosure and still work for a competitor, but the way this is rigged means your employer preemptively punishes you by capping your career to prevent something that may or may not happen.
Basically, your employer doesn't trust you at all. You get nothing from the employer except a job, but that job may be your last one for a few years. Heh... The sole beneficiary here is the company and something seems unfair about it, IMO.
Slashdot Mirror
but if you do you automaticly lose your license... just the lose of license... is not acurate to what definds drunk driving which is blood achol level
Good thing typing while intoxicated isn't illegal. ;)
In all seriousness though, losing your license for 6 months without actually being unequivocally guilty of anything is pretty harsh.
Much like Edison Electric didn't fold when he died. Or Ford Motor Company hasn't rolled over and died.
Exactly, and his last name isn't even "Apple", for Jobs sakes!

No royalties?
Death is the natural state of an organize that is "no longer functioning", maybe... I'm not so sure about "no longer functioning correctly". ;)
If that were the case, I think about 99.9999% of our population would be dead, inside and out.
As we all know, mammals respect political borders.

Yours sounds much more delicious though.

I'm inclined to believe it'll be cold and lonely.

An astute observation.
Considering Chrome will be in beta for the next two decades, I would like to believe that would complicate OEM deals.
"She doesn't want to be an engineer..."
"...not too nerdy professions"
... and 'engineer' or 'technical manager at NASA' is what you come up with? Really???? :O

instead of having to rewrite cannon, you can create new cannon
So, are we talking photon cannons or did you mean the kind of canon that doesn't blow things up? ;)

I don't like playing Grammar Gestapo, but you used it twice and while it probably won't impact your life in any significant way... you never know.
