Hey BadAnalogyGuy, you're slipping - this analogy is pretty accurate: You forgot the one time the amount of boat under the water can be effected by tide - when too much water goes out and the boat gets stuck on a sandbar.
No trial period, but with "in app purchasing" for free (as in beer) software they can now, for example, give you a cut down version for free which you can upgrade to a "paid" version.
UK Citizens have protection under the European Convention on Human Rights, which was to some extent enshrined directly into UK law with the Human Rights Act. This offers freedom of expression as Article 10, but this does allow the state to restrict speech "for the protection of the reputation or rights of others".
It's not about the end users. It's about the admins who are *stuck* forcing IE6 on their users because it's the only thing that supports the crappy customised intranet software they can't afford to migrate away from. It's about providing a migration path where these admins can provide a way for those users to transparently start using modern software in their browser *now*, while still letting them stick with a browser that works with their existing tools
Imagine as a business you're locked into IE because you have an internal intranet tool that only runs on IE. You, as a business, also want to make use of some cool new google app, or maybe you're building a new intranet tool etc, and you want to code to standards because it's quicker and easier to develop. What you don't want to do is roll out another browser and have to train your staff to use a different web browser for different tasks. That's madness.
What this plugin will let you (or google) switch rendering modes in IE between the normal IE standard and the google standard. Which is just what you want.
It's not clear from the website how this info is transmitted. I'm curious if anyone actually knows... If it's talking up to the GPS then you could remove the watch anywhere there's no line of sight to a GPS satellite. Likewise, you could do the same anywhere there's no cell signal where the watch is...
ll that to say, if the person saying/writing it believes it to be the truth, then it is not slander or libel and therefor not defamation. Slander and Libel, and therefore defamation, are notoriously difficult to prove. Else we would not have the political system we have.
I'd just like to point out that while that might be true in your country, it's not the same everywhere. In the UK you have to be able to stand up and prove what you say (the burden of proof is on the statement issuer).
Being "dense" traditionally refers to the bone in your skull being thicker, which precludes the brain taking up that space, resulting in you having a smaller brain and therefore, so the theory goes, less intelligence.
I'd really like to see it brought to North America and specifically Canada, where I can use it. It's really spectacular and more of the revolution in music listening than anything we've seen in a long while.
I think you're confused. A iPhone 3G / iPhone 3GS certainly does have GPS signal receiving hardware in it. It was, along with the new look and 3G, the main differences between the iPhone "Classic" and the new model.
I was using the term "government" in the broader sense - all MPs can vote on a bill, and have a certain amount of power, no matter what party they belong to.
The "clean their private moat" was just one ergregous example of the expense scandal that I used for its resonance. Not many parties emerged unscathed from the whole debacle, so I could have equally picked any number other stupid choices made by our elected servants.
I'm only casual because I see a tendency for hyperbole on slashdot, whereby people jump straight to extremes, comparing anything to a much more extreme regime (typically, Hitler's Germany, China or North Korea). This, while causing the sensation a sensational comment it meant to provoke, doesn't actually leave much room for reasoned discussion.
This is not to say I've not been deeply concerned by actions of our government and I'm casual to the real dangers if left to linger, and the danger of not keeping a watchful eye on the watchers.
Actually, the Pirate Party, putting all issues about copyright infringement aside, has one proper issue that I think is interesting. It's to do with encryption and privacy.
The concern is about how much the media owners and government have the "right" to monitor what you're doing. If you stipulate that the government should prevent copyright infridgement, it's not a big leap to say that they should monitor people to check that they're not breaking the law and punish those that do. Which is fine, until you realise that you've just said that the government should monitor all your communications, and the public shouldn't have the right to have private communications that the Powers In Charge don't read.
Now, I'm not overly worried about this in the UK right now with our current government (who, let's face it, are under the thumb of the press and more likely to try and waste taxpayers money to clean their private moats than oppress the masses), but if history has shown us anything preventing citizens from being able to privately critique government bodies without those bodies being able to read all the criticisms is not a good thing...
I'm not really sure where the line between upholding the law and curtailing the citizen is drawn - and it's not just on this issue that it's worth thinking about, but it is, at least, worth thinking about. So I welcome the discussion.
Move the test to a lab environment, and use a pair of stereo headphones and a computer to control (and log) which ear is being talked to unbeknownst to the person doing the talking.
This article suggests that the experiments were conducted by the very people who were proposing the hypothesis. That's not very scientific - this should have been double blind. Any number of factors can effect the success rate of getting the cigarettes - including if the researchers believed they were likely to be more successful.

No.
The law specifically does not apply to police officers. Details here
So now we have drivers waving their cell phone cameras around trying to take photos of other drivers talking on their cell phones?

You charge the watch after 100 hours according to the FAQ
Yes, with an iPod model you have the choice of whatever Apple choose to approve....

I'd recommend reading the relevant section of the ars technica review of mac os x 10.6

Can't you just get premium membership to use spotify anywhere in the world?
The iPhone app can cache up to 2000 songs for offline play. See http://www.spotify.com/blog/archives/2009/07/27/spotify-for-iphone/

The IPhone 3GS does gesture stuff without visual feedback (you can turn the screen off) - see http://www.apple.com/accessibility/iphone/vision.html for more details
I have a better plan. I say we take off, and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
He is; It's detailed on the info for the app in iTunes. Since you need iTunes to read that, I'll simply post a screenshot: http://img.skitch.com/20090703-e7kkm8i7f4wdq9ir92td898wr3.jpg (skitch may eventually delete that image after a while...)
