I think it's most useful for those who spend a lot of time at home during the day from time to time. They just put their cellphone on it, then they receive cell calls through their home line while their cellphone charges.
It supports 3 devices so that others can use it if you don't happen to be home.
Of course, if you spend a lot of time at home, you should probably just have them call you on your home number to begin with:)
I've seen Matrix, Reloaded, Animatrix and am probably going to watch Revolutions anyway, regardless of the reviews. People do say that some things weren't resolved (big surprise?). I'm just curious as to whether some things that people are wondering about may have been resolved in the video game (since I'm sure there are many Matrix fans like me who haven't played it)? I've only briefly seen some of my younger relatives play it, so I have no idea. I'm surprised that nobody has recorded themselves playing the game to the end including all the scenes and put it up on Bit Torrent or something (hint, hint:)).
Also, where would the video game fit in the chronology? I know Animatrix fits in right before Reloaded. Would the video game fit in between Animatrix & Reloaded, or after Reloaded?
The attacker needs an account on the system to exploit these unless the system has been deliberately made insecure, as in the case of enabling core files. So if your passwords are secure and not known to untrusted folks, you are OK.
What it is saying is that a non-admin account can overwrite the executable in the Applications folder in some instances (dragging the app off a disk image, or the app shipped with permissions set to allow non-admins to overwrite). Then when the real user executes the altered executable, it executes the attacker's code with admin privileges. It would still need for the real Admin to enter his/her password for the attacker's code to get root. Good ol' OS X.

MacDailyNewsTake:These "security issues" are quite a lot of todo about virtually nothing. Something smells bad @Stake. You might remember that in late September of this year, Dan Geer, computer security researcher, was dismissed from @Stake for calling "the ubiquity of Microsoft software a hazard to the economy and to national security." The problem for Geer was that @Stake is "a consulting company that works closely with the software giant [Microsoft]," as John Borland reported for CNET News.com.
Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V doesn't work in all Windows programs. In many terminal type programs Ctrl-C is obviously used for other purposes. I'm sure there are several other examples as well.
IIRC, the real universal copy/paste in windows is Ctrl-Ins and Shift-Ins. But what do I know? I switched to OS X:)
It's gotta be from those butterflies in China. If we could control those butterflies in China, perhaps then, and only then, can we control the climate here in the US. =)
What I hated was buying readers. Absolutely no resale value. It's like paying for phonebooks.
Almost every other book I needed was available in one of the main library stacks or departmental stacks. And if I couldn't find it in one of those places, I'd often find it in one of the public libraries that I'd frequent.
"The driving force behind this trend has been the fans themselves, who now have a more educated ear and can tell if something is off-key, industry experts said."
Which is why, in a lot of cases, I'd rather listen to some of the people in the audience sing instead.
... then as you get home, you see your neighbor wobbling, staring at you in a drunken stupor as he exits your car, which he managed to transform into a total wreck: "Oh, hi neighbor, I couldn't find my car, so I thought I'd borrow yours for a few minutes. Hope you don't mind. Thanks!"
Three years? Surely you're joking. The plot arc of both "LOTR" and "The Hobbit" is one calendar year: "The Hobbit" begins one spring & finishes the following spring, while LOTR begins & ends in the fall. By stretching it out over 3 years, you're effectively making it three times slower than molasses. Sounds like a blast...:-)
This is basically what I say to everyone who watches "24":)
as far as i remember, there was someone working on a new msn transport called msn-tng or something, but i guess that won't be relevant anymore. it's been a long time since i've used msn-t. the servers i normally connected to for msn-t before stopped working awhile back it seemed.
you can take this with a grain of salt though because i don't have too many people on my msn list to begin with:) i basically just used it for testing purposes.
if you use jabber now anyways, why not just see if you can have your friends switch over to jabber instead of worrying about msn transports?
After getting a new 15" Powerbook I found I had problems playing a lot of files of mine whether it was through QT or (ugh) MSPlayer. Once I downloaded VLC I noticed that I was not only able to play all the files I had on my Powerbook that I couldn't play, but also all the files I transferred from my PC that I previously was never able to find the correct codec for.
My only complaint about VLC is that silly icon, but that's easily changeable:)
Why are people complaining about the questions for the interview?
Who is to blame?
The people who submitted the questions? Those who modded?
My question is: Did you bother to think up a question that was either Insightful or Interesting?
Plain and simple, the questions were a product of the Slashdot community. What were you expecting?/me ducks.
Perhaps you should make a push for not having Funny +5 questions sent to the interviewee if you don't want to know whether s/he prefers boxers over briefs or vi over emacs.
I'm willing to bet that a very good percentage of the people who are for the recall didn't even vote.
If you don't participate, don't complain.
You must play to win. (Oh wait, that's something else)
Ok, I'll bite. For those who are familiar with P. D. Q. Bach, but don't know the story behind him, he's really a guy named Peter Schickele. You can also read about P. D. Q. Bach's "bio."
His music is even funnier than his bio. I still remember the first time I saw one of his works and his years were listed as (1807-1742?). Hah!
... using this new "keyboard," I wonder if someone who learns with the combos set in a "Dvorak layout" can "type" faster.
If this new keyboard doesn't work out, I'm sure they could use it as an input device for some new game or something. Perhaps they can call it: "Boob Boob Revolution."

Personally, I've preferred that good ol' piano tune that Yosemite Sam had Bugs Bunny play: e d c d c c e g f a C# C# a a. (... no silly, rabbit! like this!)
When (clueless) people ask if it's a wrong note in there I just tell them, "No! I just don't want my phone to explode:P"
"It's those Nancy boys writing spreadsheet macros that are wasting their time. Rookies.;-)"
I resemble that remark (and am ever so slightly proud of it) =). Some of the work I end up doing in the course of a workweek is exactly that: taking a bunch of figures, putting it into excel, and running macros on it to make it all nice and pretty.
I do this because:
1. MS VB is the only programming tool I have access to.
2. The managers I do this for can't seem to do any of this stuff on their own.
3. Gives me a little bit of job security.
4. It breaks the monotony of the other dull tasks I'd be doing instead.

What can we do?
:)
It sounds like there's a ton of people who agree with this lawsuit but don't believe it'll succeed.
I'm sure there are people out there who do read the EULAs and can site many specific examples that could possibly help in this case.
What about a way to help with attorney fees?
Perhaps an even better question to encourage people to help is:
How do we get in on this class-action lawsuit?
Is there a website where we can sign up like many already have for the CD price-fixing settlement?
