Fennecs are small, and adorable, foxes that live in deserts(which tend to be warm).
It's a pretty fitting name for Mozilla's moble(small) browser.
It's also not the first mobile Mozilla based mobile browser. At the very least it is predated by the Maemo Browser, found on Nokia's n800 family of products.
Pretty sure that only applies to Netbook processors that are not x86 to start with anyway(ARM). Not really hugely compatible with a normal 32 bit version of windows.
Atom sure seems to support 64 bit. AMD's netbook offering "Turion 64" also sounds like it may support 64 bit as well.
It probably has a lot to do with many of the third party Windows developers being retards who are incapable of creating 64 bit compatibly software and drivers.
Does anyone know an effective cutting agent for printer toner? I've been using graphite, but it's not quite the right texture and I'd like something cheaper.
The n810 technically has GPS, but it takes a very long time to connect and isn't very accurate. It should in no way be a deciding factor for anyone to purchase an 810 over a 800.
You can pick up Holux bluetooth GPS unit for about $50 which will preform a lot better. The n810's built in mapping software is pretty weak, and you have to pay for navigation. Doubt many folks here would want to use it anyway.
I'm not from the US, the thing that grabbed my attention in TFS was "the pile of contracts your doctor dumps on your lap". Why is there a pile of contracts in the first place?
Because privatized systems are more efficient than their government provided counterparts.
Maybe I'd like to be judged by a competent person, not a group of Joe Blows from the street, thank you very much. Just because it's YOUR "right" doesn't make it the universal "right" (as in right/wrong) for everybody. Whether SOME other countries besides the US have the same "right" or not.
Sweden is not the US.
You can pretty much have it whichever way you want in the US. You have the right to a jury trial, but you don't have to exercise it. If you think the subject matter is too complicated or prejudicial, or if you just don't want a jury, you can elect to have a bench trial(where the judge determines guilt/culpability).
1) They've allowed documents stating their support for the republican party to become public knowledge. 2) They produce closed source software. 2a) They have made statement against open source competition. 3) They produce buggy software and hardware that are not well secured or designed. 4) They create technological 'solutions' for social problems. 5) They are the industry leader in their field, and they produce a flawed product. They maintain their position through marketing and lobbying. 6) They program in languages owned by Microsoft.
Any one of those would get them hated by at least some slashdotters. They do all of those things. Most of them multiple times. Their infamy here isn't surprising.
1) Good for you Creationism is not science. You can't discover anything with it. It is religion. That's ok. We let people practice religion. We don't teach it as science in our public schools.
2) Yes, it is correct science to ask how chemicals enabled evolution. As a result of such questions we know how fairly complicated chemicals can form from simple situations.
The other of this is our understanding of the various nucleic acids. This has benefited everything from forensics to biological science to medicine.
It is a great question to ask. Asking it has improved our lives and created the groundwork for the next thousand years of biological and medical sciences.
Compare this to "Did god create the universe?" That's a bad question. We can't do anything with the answers. It doesn't lead to new interesting question. It's just a question that we can't answer. If we manage to answer it, we get nothing.
3) Yeah, I don't like people who misuse terminology either.
This is all correct. For instance, we know that ID in the Dover case is creationism dressed up as science, because the textbook originally advocated by the IDers was about Creationism in it's early drafts and was changed after the earlier court cases banning Creationism from being taught in schools. The diff was the cornerstone of the complaint's case.
We know that this is being done to introduce Chrisitanity into public schools, because those supporting ID, the Discovery Institute, said as much in the Wedge Document.
I think atraintocry is suffering from a bit of hubris. This is an ongoing fight that has not yet been won. While circuit and district courts have ruled on the issue, there has been no recent supreme court ruling and ID advocates have found their ways into School Boards across the nation. They have not given up, and this is no time to sit back just because we've won some small victories.
They are liars. They know it. The swarms of selectively ignorant religious folks that support them don't know they are liars or really understand the evolution 'debate'. So long as we are a democracy, we won't have won until we convince the public, not the courts.
So, would a KJ have to pay several hundred dollars for a cd because it is intended for use in public performances? That's somewhat different than the market for consumer CDs. It's also less defensible(morally and legally) because they are using to make money.
I don't mind Adobe going after companies for pirating their product. I think it's retarded(though more or less within their right) for them to do the same with individual end users. I'm not sure if that would be analogous.
Otherwise, what's to stop _any_ government agent from simply stating that he saw this or that on _any_ device, and, voila, you must now produce whatever documents the government wants?
Judges, either those issuing the warrants or those overseeing the appeals, are our only line of defense against that.
Which is why things like corrupt judges, such as those family court judges in Pennsylvania, can't be tolerated by a just society.
The civil sanction for contempt (which is typically incarceration in the custody of the sheriff or similar court officer) is limited in its imposition for so long as the disobedience to the court's order continues: once the party complies with the court's order, the sanction is lifted. The imposed party is said to "hold the keys" to his or her own cell, thus conventional due process is not required.
Read the whole thing before you quote it. That only applies to civil contempt charges.
Criminal contempt charges are punitive, not coercive. You don't know what you are talking about.
You know. That could create a pretty intresting situation, if you didn't mind body cavity searches and had a few free months.
Just create a massive file of random data. Never say it is anything else. Obviously, you can't decrypt it, but they can never prove it one way or another.
There is a slight possibility of being held in contempt indefinitely, but if you are a citizen with the current administration you will probably at the very least be detained without trial in-country.
At the very least, it's a lot of extra information to be taking in. Once someone is adjusted to it, it's absence could, in some cases, be uncomfortable.
I don't really know about the "Nothing will be satisfying enough unless it has an overlay on it", I figure I'd treat them like horrible webpages and run RealityMonkey(tm). The bigger issue is at some point I'm going to have to take them off. If you think crackberries are bad, good AR is going to be about a hundred times worse(obviously they'd be used for all sorts of communication in addition to just the AR role and bring the web closer than your fingertips).
Now everyone stop complaining about Chrome having no extension! If Chrome is really that good for everything else except has no add-ons, and if you really so sick of getting that noscript/adblock add-on, why not develop one yourself and contribute back to the project?
It's very simple. That would take a lot of work. Chrome is slightly better than firefox at a few things.
It's not worth it.
Unless the changes make it back into the main fork, not a whole heck of a lot of people are going to make extensions anyway, so it is mostly pointless unless it supports firefox plug-ins(which is pretty close to not being feasible).
Now, Google pays people to do that sort of work. When we complain, they hear about it, however indirectly. Bitching about it can do something that a more hands on approach would do less well, and it's a heck of a lot easier.
Diesel also requires less energy to produce than gas(though extra taxes increase at pump costs, and refineries are geared to produce as little diesel, and as much gasoline, as possible suppressing supply).
Honestly, I think a lot of our energy problems could be helped by a nation wide effort to encourage diesel production and use. In the short term, with less taxes and more production, it will help with energy costs. In the long term, bio diesel would be more attractive because of a large fleet of vehicles that can use it with little modification.
Demand for diesel is pretty inelastic and already meets supply. It would take effort from manufactures, refiners and the federal government. I don't expect it to happen, but can't help but think it would save a lot of money and energy.
itunes+appstore has pretty good market penetration. Unless something similar and equally useful comes out to compete, Apple is probably going to have to start worrying about appearing anti-competitive.
They definitely have an advantage over other digital distribution networks, based on OS and Accessory tie-in. The EU will probably start looking down on that eventually.
The EU's decisions are fairly political. Most of this stuff is based off lobbying technologically ignorant politicians. If enough of the right people start complaining, it can happen.

It's just you. Have you actually tried more than one adapter? They cost a few cents to make, so I could see quality control not being a huge issue.
Right. Nokia has only tested 8gb cards. I have a 16 which works just fine.
Why do our senators have elderly interns and clerks?
I have nothing against ask.com, but why involve another company?
Because it takes time and money to develop software and sometime people want to get some of that back.
Ask.com gives them money.
