If little magnets were going to affect your brain, wouldn't anyone who'd had a brain scan end up a vegetable?Of course it pays to sell idiots little magnets and claim all sorts of health benefits. Some may even benefit from a placebo effect. (It doesn't pay to try to sell them MRI machines...there are so few idiots THAT rich).I think i'll remain skeptical unless more solid evidence turns up.

So why is it shenaningans when the copyright holder wants to protect their information but legitimate when a file sharer wants to protect his or her information?
Depends on the format, too, though.I did some totally subjective comparisons a while back, and found that:On my computer, with my horrible onboard sound... these formats and bitrates sound the same:3GPP AAC+ encoded @ 28kbitogg vorbis encoded @ 32kbitlame mp3 encoded @ 72kbit abrMP3 has great fidelity at high bitrates, but it just wasn't made to scale well to lower bitrates, often employed in streaming.44kbit AAC(3GPP AAC+ doesn't seem to go beyond that?) sounds very good to my ear. My results are completel
There are a lot more issues than just getting used to a new set of tools.
I recently set up a new small startup company. We have 4 staff, but 3 of us work a lot from home, coming into the office only once or twice a week. As an experiment I set us all up on Google Apps Premium. The email is great - no complaints. Gmail has always been my webmail of choice, and with POP/IMAP support my 2 Mac guys can use mail.app to their hearts content.
Calendar is so-so. Sharing calendars, particularly more than one seems a bit erratic, but it's just about good enough for us to use (we really need shared calendars do the the business we operate).
Docs is the main weakness. The office suite just doesn't have the feature set of any of the offline suites. Offline support is lacking. It frustrates me that Google make a huge thing of this being a set of "collaboration" tools and yet leave out (or don't implement) a really simple and obvious feature like folder-level sharing. If you want to share a folder containing sub-folders with other people in your group, you have to meticulously go through the directory structure and share all the bloody files in each sub-folder individually. Why the hell can't I just share the top folder and have it apply sharing to the rest of the tree?
What worries me more, is that when you go into the requested features forum, you can see that people have been asking for this for a long time now and it's not happened. Which makes me think that Google simply aren't putting a lot of resource into developing it. I don't like entrusting the future of my business into something that they might just drop like a stone if they feel like it. And without more feedback from the devs, and noticeable improvements over time, it certainly feels like they could.
The docs file manager tool itself seems completely brain-damaged at times. You can drag a file from one folder to another, and it disappears. The folder displays (2 items) but only 1 is visible. Where the **** did it go, and why should I have to kill my browser window and re-launch to see it? I could go on, but I think a couple of examples are enough to suggest that there are what I would suggest are basic areas of functionality that simply aren't ready for prime-time yet.
Eventually we gave up and went back to an offline office suite. Google Apps is a nice idea, and I'm sure that when it's anywhere near fully functional it'll be a very handy for us. But right now it's not even close.
I apologize for the rather disorganized rant. If I'd had more time I'd have written a more organized critique, but given that I was on my way to bed, I banged out this comment in a quick 5 minute brain splurge.
Amazing what an expensive lunch and some funny numbers on the back of a napkin can result in. Do you get points for posts like the above and get to redeem them for MS software ?
Does it have to be expelled out the genitals in public to count as public urination, or can it be saved up and discarded like dumping a bucket of melted ice into a parking lot? Laws on the books in my state define the severity of the penalty for littering as dependent on volume and weight; does the entire solution count as the pollutant, or just the solvent after the water solute has evaporated?I'm sure somewhere out there is a lawyer eager to attack this, not for anything against the family's actions or an

I must say that as a British citizen I was amazed at the power unions have in America. Prior to dealing with them, my perception had always been that labour laws in America were much more lax than ours, and that people got screwed by their employers left, right and centre. What I didn't expect was that the unions, where present, would more than make up for this by being chokingly overbearing.I was working for a company who were developing systems for guiding US Marine mechanics through repair procedures.
You may have noticed that some hard drives are marketed as being designed for RAID use. These work slightly differently to most consumer disks. Typically, a small region of a disk is hidden. If the disk discovers a bad sector then it will use one from the hidden region to replace it, so every write to the bad sector goes to one of the spare ones instead. This is very bad for RAID, because two drives writing to the same sector may be writing to two different physical locations (if one is remapped), with the

I wholeheartedly agree. This is the best cinematic trailer I've seen since the 1990's. They should totally hire this guy

No, that's something like http://www.amazon.com/Canon-600mm-Super-Telephoto-Cameras/dp/B00009R6X9 which is an order of magnitude cheaper :)

Once you install these on your roof you will only need to wear your tinfoil hat when you are outdoors.
