How about a touch screen that senses different levels of pressure? Moving one's finger around using light pressure simply moves the cursor and engages mouseovers; applying greater pressure equals a click. There is an inherent difference between a touchscreen and a laptop touchpad: when you lift your finger off of a touchpad and put it back down in a different place, it leaves the cursor where it was and resumes movement relative to the new starting point.
I've seen where ISPs tack on charges for additional ips. But this seems to be going away. Now I'm seeing that most ISP provided routers will nat - sometimes even allow port forwarding and dmz.
I thought they were trying to formulate a compound that could be applied with a trowel by the Canadian robot arm to fill in where a tile had fallen off during takeoff.
fans to blow off the sand Fans? Even in Earth's atmosphere it would probably be better to just tilt the panels inverted and maybe agitate them. From the article: "Dead in its tracks, Spirit cannot shake off the Martian dust"; shaking seems to work but only if the rover is mobile.
I'm not big on updates - especially from some of the big software companies: Microsoft, Adobe, Apple. They seem to consistently slow a system down over time, and occasionally cause serious problems. But if I want to get more mileage out of a Windows box by turning off auto updates, I at least apply service packs. If you are going to go no-updates you should not only be behind a firewall, but have an up-to-date antimalware app. Even then, an unupdated Windows system is significantly further from "perfectly safe" than an updated one.
Talk about memory problems. I just tested with Chrome and a 1680 pixel-wide screen; once I got to 22 tabs of iGoogle the only thing showing on the label was "i...". Who could ever remember what tab is what? Good thing for MrNemesis 64-bit is finaly becoming mainstream for OSs and apps (IE9 will be 64-bit only). The price of memory is on the rise but that won't last.
While supporting 100+ Xp machines for a period of about two years, I noticed that machines that were set to accept all updates typically suffered a gradual but steady drop in performance over time. My guess is registry bloat is the biggest culprit. The machines that didn't update automatically, but had service packs installed when available maintained noticeably better performance. The downside of playing russian roulette with security also showed with the non-updated machines hit by malware - rarely, but more often than the updated set - despite a good effort to keep third party security software (MacAfee, Symantec, or Kaspersky) on and updated.
Pressure from iPhone owners and Apple, pending FCC action, and competition from Androids on Verizon all seem likely factors influencing the ATT move, but there is also a story on Reuters about a new Vonage mobile app for iPhone and BlackBerry.
I have been unimpressed with network speeds for web browsing on 3G most of the time. I don't think the major 3G carriers will allow voip packets deliver voice to match the quality of traditional cell phone calls any time soon.
I just don't see what this "violation" has to do with immigration or customs. Have they always had this or only since Cheney/Bush turned a blind eye to allow an atrocious act of terrorism so they could, among other thing things, create a new uber-powerful cabinet-level agency?

Working example: I have been running four lightly loaded VMs in production using VMWare Server for 24+ months now with fewer problems than with bare metal os servers. Hardware: Gigabyte GIGABYTE GA-M61PME-S2P board, AMD X2 2.6GHz, 500Gb hd, and 8 gigs of ram - DDR2 800. The whole kit including shipping can be had for $250 from NewEgg today. You'll still need a case, power supply and optical drive, but if you are just "experimenting" you can just use whatever you may have lying around. Performance has been fine. Like many are saying memory is the deciding factor, but memory is cheap. VMWare Server seems to do an adequate job of utilizing a dual core cpu to run five operating systems (four VMs plus the host). The "load" includes Win 2003 Server 64-bit host, (1) W2K Srv, IIS and several web sites (2) 2003 Web Ed., IIS with several web sites, (3)2003 Stand., Sharepoint with a few web sites (4) 2003 Stand. with SQL Serv (Sharepoint performs better with the SQL Sever in a different vm but on the same host along with two other vms than it did with just sharepoint and SQL on the same bare metal os??)
of an old SNL skit (original cast). As I recall: a man walks into an FBI office and asks for the information they have on him. The agent (I think it was Akroyd) haphazardly looks through some files, and asks for help in the form of further details of what illegal activities he might be involved in. The man offers up several types of minor crime he has engaged in. The agent still finds nothing, then sends him away after getting contact info and assuring him they would let him know if they find anything.
As soon as the man leaves, the agent makes an urgent call requesting follow-up on the man and the crimes he mentioned.
I have used Dreamweaver for years and it has served me well. I do like Expressions Web v2 also. (I am using a trial copy, and am awaiting a full licence through my Action Pack subscription after passing a simple online course/marketing propaganda session.) However, its getting hard to justify not using a CMS. Setting up one has become increasingly easy. Adding a new page does not require updating other pages. And I have found a tool that automates creating decent quality custom templates. Its called Artisteer. My only connection is that I bought it and use it, and I just thought some readers here would be interested.
Of course, if too many people start relying on apps that interact directly with the net rather than through a web browser, google's business is threatened.
Maybe thats why google is doing this: to intentionally make it not work.

Not exactly lossless compression.

Isn't the purpose of some of these overhead items error correction? Will this lead to more unrecoverable read errors?

I have tried LKGC dozens of times when it seemed plausible it would help. I think it worked twice. My experience with System Restore is similar.

I like a plausible conspiracy theory as much as the next guy, but what's the rationale for saying the BSA is corrupt? Or greedy?
From the headline I really thought it was a feed from The Register.

Roaches have lived among humans for long enough that their natural eviroment is our home.
I was just saying today: "I don't think anyone hates Apple.

Don't look at me. I just deleted mine.
I don't think it will be costly to reproduce a vacuum balloon, once materials and a method are devised.

The product you are referring to is called Accurint. It was developed by Seisint, which was aquired by LexisNexis. It is restricted to US law enforcement. More here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A50577-2004Jul14.html
