What 18.5" do you have? I want one. And yes, 21" would be great. I just started working at a new company where everyone has laptops instead of desktops. I'm a developer. I came from having a quad core xeon desktop with 4 monitors, 3 22" and one 26" They didn't know that. I was hired along with 5 other people. We all were issued this *lovely* hp core i3 with a 15"wide that does 1376x200 or or something.
So far from parts I've bought myself I've expanded it with two more monitors and am soon going to get another DisplayLink card to add a 3rd. These aren't nearly as big as what I had before, but it's something.
Hey hey, thanks neighbor! That's exciting, but kinda frustrating. I've called them 3 times trying to find someone that would do that for me, each time they said they couldn't do it. I wonder if it's because I have a USB Modem, that link I think was talking about phones + tethering...
Maybe I'll go to a verizon store and see if I can find a salesperson willing to do it.
The market will bear this out. I'm currently in Alabama, not even in a particularly rural area (western Mobile), but there's not cable or DSL on my road. Very frustrating to use 3G internet for internet, but I don't think it's the goverment's job to drop me a line, or for them to force comcast or ATT to do it. I'll wait. 4G is available, but I'm grandfathered in a 3G unlimited plan which I will loose if I get a 4G card. I'm currently using 7GB/month on 3G, as soon as we get 4G we'll start streaming like crazy and probably do 10GB every 5 days.
Do I want better internet? Yes. Do I want someone else to have to pay for it? No.
since you're using apple products, imagine if we take it a little farther on the notifications... Once a hack attempt is made, your airport starts injecting 'hacking attempt' audio into your music streams.
Your iTV puts a ticker at the bottom of the screen... iphone/powermac have warning popups
Those are all great things, and I'd love to have one, but I can't imagine tell my parents to periodically check their syslog for intrusions or mac spoofing attempts:)
Unfortunately, the ony way I can see securing wireless right now is to replace it with a wire.
or do it the way chrome does it... put less emphasis on version. Sure, they have version numbers, but chrome auto-updates. Ask me at any time what version I'm using and I'll have to go hit chrome:about to tell you.
I can tell you that I use the dev-channel build. And I keep canary running as well so I can test session stuff on the same website without them crashing over each other.
And for the curious, I'm running 14.0.803.0 dev-m and canary is only slightly further along at 14.0.804.0 canary
Hmm, I'm going to make a really high tech scanner that chops people up into little manageable pieces (after molesting them first) and then it will scan them for metal, liquids and explosives. Wonder how much they'll pay for that.
It wouldn't be the OS causing hardware failures. The article is implying that in all cases android phones have more hardware failures. WE know they are not caused by the OS, but the unwashed masses don't.
No kidding. I think they should just make some full body bathing suits outta that stuff, and just let people swim in the river. It wont take long for the pool to be nastier than the river itself. Does it's filter work both ways?;)
Ok, look I'm an iphone user. Love it. Have the original and waiting to get the next one. But I'm not putting too much into this little survey.
I need to see the manufacturer listed here before I believe this is any more than propoganda. If it turns out that each manuf. has about the same average fault rate, then ok, there's a problem. But if it turns out that HTC comes out to 2% and Moto is at 25% then I'd say that it's not the OS, but the manuf. that's the problem.
And then going further, how does a manufacturer's android parts compare to their non android part. What if LG has a average fail of 15% on android smartphones but only 5% on dumbphones.
Then what about those who make win7 and android phones? How does THAT compare? Samsung? HTC? LG?
I agree with you. We don't need to worry about deportation and the like. Once the funds stop they'll go back home. Once THAT is done, then the ones still coming are probably doing so for drugs... then we can crack down on those.
And you assume a level of service that includes the company doing their backups. Many hosting providers offer this as an option. Particularly when it's not shared hosting. When I was using offsite dedicated hosting, I didn't use their backups. I backed it up myself to my office.
My suggestion, stay away from corn. It's actually one of the harder plants to grow on a small scale. Their root system sucks. If you live anywhere with lots of rain the erosion will be bad and every time it rains you have to go prop them up with new dirt. Unless you know your pesticides already, you're going to get worms. Use seven, it will help. When the stalks are 0-6" you need to watch for cutter worms, deer and rabbits. When they're a little taller, less worms, still deer and rabbits.
If you want something that's just GOING to grow, and you can't do wrong, try okra. Also, cucumber and squash are nearly impossible to do wrong. Oh, and green onions.
Don't get me started on grass right now. Ours is nearly dead. We're having drought conditions this year. I've cut my grass exactly twice so far this year. Normally in Mobile you'd start sometime and march and cut weekly until September.
It's funny, the grass is wanting water so bad, I put a sprinkler out in one spot for about an hour. The next day I had a perfectly round green spot in a brown dead yard. In a week, it had grown as was a tall spot needing cutting. Looks like aliens were making really bad crop circles. I put out one of those drip hoses in a spiral, and now I have a green spiral growing in the yard.
It's not just a choice based on how it's manufactured... I'd dare to argue that we don't have as much area to grow sugar cane as brazil. It's a tropical plant. It needs somewhere north of 125cm/year of rainfall to grow, high humidity and lots of sun. Unfortunately most of our agriculture land does not support those conditions. Brazil is MADE for cane. Where we grow stuff, it's made for corn, and maybe switchgrass? Compare Iowa/nebraska, indiana, illinois, where corn is grown, to Louisiana, Florida and Hawaii, where we can grow cane. Add to that, hawaii is tiny, florida and Louisiana have a lot of unaccessable swamp, and that florida land prices are at a premium.
At 261 comments, it obviously didn't generate enough page views. We have to monetize these stories damnit. We're going to keep posting it until it meets the minimum ppc requirements!
Dreamweaver was never homesite. At one point they even shipped together, along with another css Editor. I think this was around DW MX. They didn't have CSS support or very good color coding or ASP/PHP/CF support, so they bundled a CSS editor, TopStyle, and Homesite.
But anyway, yeah, I'm still using dreamweaver too. I spend a lot of time in code view, but I don't see any point in hand writing a bunch of CSS or tables, or hrefs or whatever.
Plus I love the templates. It's a great solution for a low page site as opposed to using a template engine like smarty, or a CMS.
I hate to say this, but it's not a bad program (compared to frontpage) and lord has it been around for a long time. I first used Dreamweaver 2.
If long haul, you mean by, it lasts a long time, I think it fits the bill. Version 1 came out in 97 We're at 11.5 right now, so yeah, I'd say we're pretty much at long haul status here.
And yeah, the gui has been modified a lot in 14 years, but the concept is the same.

Yes, this is another sign of the apocalypse. One more, and it's all over!
It's measured in some odd recursive binary.
10 in binary is 2
and so it's' recursive like PHP, 10 *2 = 20.
So 20 this is a recursive binary decade.

Looking at the article, the hardware is a collection of I/O ports
minijack
3pin servo connector
slider
speaker

etc....
USB is just the computer interface. Dummy programming via dope & drop, upload to board, watch your little toy do something.
