Except you have to pay a hefty price to be allowed to put things in the deb repository, and your submission can be rejected for silly crap such as," the color of the background of one of your icons is "ooky" REJECTED!
Then buy an ibook and have Wozniacs company turn it into a tablet. Less than $1800.00 and you have a killer dual core OSX tablet that "just works"(tm)(r)
Microsoft would KILL to do this. Honestly, they would literally go out and kill puppies, kittens and baby seals all day long if it would allow them to control everything you install.
If apple get's away with it, you know they will follow in their footsteps.
Yet the daily show on comedy central has higher ratings and is where MORE people turn to for unbiased news.....
Frightening, that Jon Stewart is america's most honest newscaster in a lot of people's eyes. This says volumes about how worthless all the news outlets are.
I carry around my 17" laptop AND a 13" tablet. In meetings I use the tablet, plus I can do easy markup of a customers blueprints with them looking on and making their own notes directly to the screen, then email off a copy to them and the engineer.
I tend to steal a lot of contracts from the dweebs that only carry around a tiny light laptop.
it's all about putting productivity over whining about carrying a little more weight around.
The problem is that newpapers are completely dead, the body simply has not stopped moving.
I can get my news HOURS after it has happened or get it from my various RSS feeds seconds to minutes afterwards. Plus I get to filter it to have only what I want.
Short of puppy training, wrapping dishes, and for poop paper for a bird cage, a newspaper has ZERO value. Even web based they are slow to react and usually are only repeating what I have already read from the various feeds I have.
There is no way to save the newspaper business. Ebooks might if the media companies get off their asses and not only publish a daily release but also update it's contents every 15 minutes.
If you Ignore that Commodore mismanaged it. Also Ignore the IBM-PC clones dropped the price of a PC to lower than an Amiga. Even the loathed PC-jr was cheaper and had more business software available for it.
The number of dealers to go and buy an Amiga from were very low. Even if you wanted to have them in your business it was easier to get a IBM or apple.
So if the 5% effect of Piracy killed the Amiga, you stacked it on the top of the list and pointed at it as the cause......
But this is a trend even in Xbox360 games. The new Mass Effect 2 does this. in order to even play the game you have to register with easports.com (in game they link to your xbox live account info) and it sends a lot of info there as you play. Plus the game has turned from a great cinematic experience to a "you have to buy all this crap" in order to have the good gear fest.
It's down loadable content whore out to the extreme. $60.00 for the game and another $240.00 to actually have the whole game after you buy all the crap that the game should have came with.
Non-standard bit rates up to 640 kbit/s can be achieved with the LAME encoder and the freeformat option, although few MP3 players can play those files.
My alpine digital media car stereo plays them just fine. as well as my Crestron AAS up to 480kbps
my rip did NOT come from the audio layer it came from the data stream out the Toslink into the PC from the SACD player, The great part is that linux ignores the stupid copyright bit.
Just because you have no clue how to rip SACD or DVD-A audio directly does not mean everyone else does.
He should know to ignore the phone call and focus on the situation when the need arises. If the driver is incapable of doing this simple thing, they shouldn't have a radio or a passenger either, or better translated, they shouldn't be driving.
Sorry but from the thousands of miles I drive every month, I can tell you this.....
MOST DRIVERS have no business driving a car. The ratio is over 50% of people that really should not have a license.... but here in the USA it's a god given right! We have greyhairs that are blind and have a reaction time of a snail in a jar of molasses that the govt is AFRAID of taking their drivers license away.
Soccer moms spraying hairspray and doing their nails. I love the whackjobs that drive with a foot out the window, yes the driver has a foot out the window or on the dashboard... I even saw a guy playing a trumpet while driving....
I answer it, but I also am not the typical nimrod. I had installed a car stereo with Bluetooth phone integration. It rings, I see the number on the display and either hit answer or hangup. every car made can have this, It's less than $300.00 installed. Or if you want, get a bluetooth headset for $20.00 and simply tap your head and say "hello?" works great and I keep both hands on the wheel and eyes on the road...
I cant understand the idiots that hold a phone to their head while driving, or the ones that look extra dorky, they hold the phone sideways and at an angle away from their head.
On the other hand, most people out there driving are looking down their hood at the pretty lines, instead of 3-4 cars ahead of them.
Let's see.... stand in line for 4 hours, check. Get herded like cattle for 1 hour, check. Sit in tiny seats crammed in next to a sweaty fat guy, or a fratboy that wont shut the hell up, check. now spend the convert standing and not being ableto see the stage, check.
Get beer spilled on you, check.
I'll rip my buddy's dvd of the bands concert and watch it in my home theater on a 150" screen with a better sound system than the band has.
Only thing I'm missing is getting assaulted by drunks, and seeing some ugly chicks show their boobs.
Slashdot Mirror
Exactly, that is why nobody writes apps for Nokia, Windows Mobile, and Android.
all three of those failed platforms have no apps at all.
How is it there at the BSA? is fred still working in accounting?

google tablet?
You can have one now. Grab Android-X86 and install it on a tablet PC of your choice. if it uses the right hardware it'll be nearly ready to go.
That's what happens when the OS is Open sourced.
Then buy an ibook and have Wozniacs company turn it into a tablet. Less than $1800.00 and you have a killer dual core OSX tablet that "just works"(tm)(r)
You've been able to do this for 2 years now.
they have, jailbreak your phone install what apps you want from wher you want.
Microsoft would KILL to do this. Honestly, they would literally go out and kill puppies, kittens and baby seals all day long if it would allow them to control everything you install.
If apple get's away with it, you know they will follow in their footsteps.
Exactly, and it is very sad that the "serious" news companies and journalists dont have the guts to ask the hard questions.
Journalists are supposed to offend people that are hiding something.
Yet the daily show on comedy central has higher ratings and is where MORE people turn to for unbiased news.....
Frightening, that Jon Stewart is america's most honest newscaster in a lot of people's eyes. This says volumes about how worthless all the news outlets are.
yet most americans know who is winning on American Idol...
Sorry, but it's not personalized news that is making people dumb.....
I do.

Plus several other sites that have been talking about the huge mass of DLC they will be releasing for Mass Effect 2.
Have you not read about the game at all over the past year?
Dang slashdot. It ate this and I did not see it as a response for 10 minutes so I figured it did not post... Sorry about the dupe.

and It's only going to get worse.
Because they hate their customers, or their management are a bunch of incompetent idiots.
Make it harder to get a license. far more education in getting that license plus required classes for every renewal.
you take your classes when 16, then never EVER get more education.
incorrect....

No but the last Rammstien concert I went to shot something all over the audience....
What were those big things they were wearing in front of them?
