Stargate and Star Trek both talk about plotting courses to destinations;
I don't find it unreasonable to use "navigate" to mean "dead reckoning" or the like.
one would assume that they're doing this to avoid obstacles.
In the episode "Fail Safe", SG-1 extends a cargo ship's hyperspace window around an asteroid that is approaching Earth and drag it through the planet. It would seem that carefully choosing your exit point is more important than what is in your way.
JustinOpinion is simply noting that if some Ancient equipment can check the user for a particular gene, more should be able to make sure that the user isn't a flying piece of shrapnel.
They can charge whatever they want. Vendor lock-in only works by being cheaper than switching.
If they get too greedy, even Macs would become more cost-effective than continuing with MS.
If there aren't enough people with builds like yours (32-bit but still decently powerful), it just wouldn't be worth the cost of maintaining a separate architecture.
Must all computers sold at retail with a MS OS be certified to run it?
i.e. If MS hadn't lowered the hardware requirements for Intel, would OEMs have been prevented from using that chipset in computers sold with Vista?
The batteries are removable in the same way a gas tank is removable (well probably not that difficult....)
For now, anyways.
But I agree that is isn't going to happen.
Batteries degrade with use and time. I don't like the idea of having to go somewhere on short notice and run out of juice halfway there because at the last switching station I was handed an old battery. Unless we come up with a battery technology that won't degrade (super-capacitors?), it won't be viable.
Yep. That's why it'll never pass - expect large amounts of money to flow into key campaign coffers to put an end to this nonsense before it gets started.
I wasn't aware that the book publishing industry was swimming in as much cash as Hollywood or Microsoft...
At some point we need to have congressmen who aren't bought and paid for by special interests.
A normal electrical socket provides only ~1% of that value, they need to solve that too.
Not really. Assuming your formula is roughly equivalent to a full tank, and using the OP's two minutes estimate, it just means that charging from a wall socket would take 100x longer than filling at the pump; i.e., ~3 hours, 20 minutes. If you don't normally exceed 500 miles between outlets, you shouldn't need quick-charging for anything other than road trips.

Tomboy can be completely removed, and a C++ port of Tomboy (gnote) is in unstable.

After spending $4.7 trillion, not billion, they will have a light rail between San Diego and Santa Barbara that travels at 50 MPH.
Fixed that for you.
Why would Microsoft turn down that money?
If there aren't enough people with builds like yours (32-bit but still decently powerful), it just wouldn't be worth the cost of maintaining a separate architecture.
64-bit Windows has moved so slowly that OpenOffice and Firefox still don't have stable win64 builds.
Or MS Office 2007, AFAICT.

I'd like to know why an "informed P2P users act" doesn't do anything to inform the downloader if the material is ok to download.
It just has to make sure that you know you are sharing files, not the legal status of those files.
To lean on a broken model, this sounds like Layer 7 legislation trying to solve a Layer 2 problem.
Whats wrong at Layer 2?
Are you saying that an Apple a day doesn't keep the doctor away?

He reminds me of a certain patent troll that just won't die.
Psychiatrists disagree. He's "the only officially certified sane lawyer in the entire state of Florida."
I don't. When I have to buy something, I know what I want and which sites will probably have it.

So why aren't you voting for one?
I realize you're joking, but Can != Should.
Thanks.

The battery pack doesn't have to charge that fast.
Especially if it can go 500 miles on a single charge. The further it goes, the more likely it is that you won't need to charge it 'til evening.
Since I don't lie, you must be wrong.
What world do you live in, that fact and truthfulness are the same thing?
...most pre-finished wood flooring uses aluminum oxide as a protective coating.
So... I can stop worrying about the gophers leeching my WiFi?
Correct.
It also is easy to tell when it is unhappy thanks to a well designed and simple system tray icon.
Of all the things Microsoft software doesn't do well, failing to let you know that it's unhappy is pretty low on the list.
