most everybody does it, even if its for 20 seconds to say i'll call you back. you need to outlaw eating food, tending to a child and being drowsy as well if you're going to push for a law against talking on the phone. those are all on par distraction and safety wise.
i'd say that makes them better. that and not requiring a bunch of other similarly equipped cars on the road and local sensor infrastructure to make them work properly.
now tune the up and down thresholds to your liking in the/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/* "files" and you're good to go.
Also, for Athlon64 and Opteron CPUs you really should enable clock divide in halt to save even more. For instructions on that read opteron-powersave.txt.
(some BIOSes enable it by default, others do not)
i've been using a yahoo login on flickr for years. i receive -zero- marketing from yahoo and the login process is hidden anyways since a cookie stored in my browser keeps me logged in. theres no reason to dislike this change. get over it.
enable POP3 access, script a nightly download of all your email.
problem solved.
restoring it is another matter. gmail doesn't have a way to repopulate a mailbox with a set of existing backed up emails that will properly preserve the date stamp (the date it lists is the received on date so just bouncing them to your hosted gmail address shows the date you restored them).
people who store their email locally on their machine using random mail reader often lose it due to software, OS or hard drive crashes. they don't go post whining about it to a public forum blaming someone else when that happens because its their own fault for not backing up, just like existing gmail users who don't backup.
good thing to note... i haven't seen any problems on our systems so far but i am keeping my eyes open.
i'll check our kernel sources later to see if they include the code from the referenced lkml post or already default to not preferring the tsc for timekeeping.
All AMD K8 (Opteron and Athlon 64) CPUs have the ability to run the clock and an extra slow speed when in HLT (idle) mode saving a bunch more power. Many (most?) BIOSes are not smart enough to enable this. A simple setpci command will turn it on under linux.
find out if its on:
setpci -d 1022:1103 87.b
If that returns 00, its off. To turn on clock-divide-in-hlt to div by 512 mode use:
setpci -d 1022:1103 87.b=61
(see the above URL for links to the AMD documentation on the PMM7 register; other values can work).
You must talk over four hours per month -every- month for a monthly plan to make sense at all. Cell phone companies are extreemly happy to push plans on everyone because most people don't use their phone that much or when they do they charge them 4x the prepaid rate for in overages.
$100 gets you 1000 minutes that do not expire for a year. (less money gets you less minutes and they expire in 90 days). Very hard to beat that deal. The unfortunate thing is that they don't have any pre-paid mobile internet access. not sure if anyone does. sad. i'd pay the regular per-minute call rate for prepaid use of GPRS.
They get to follow the whim of the current crop of politicians who decide on crazy wasteful goals. The cold war is over, there is no opponent to outrace to get somewhere in space using the most resources humanly possible. They need to refocus on practical stuff but what politician cares about that?
anyone complaining about data privacy at google should also be laughing at how there are no big complaints about Apple's.Mac service for backing up personal data on apple computers. both google desktop and.Mac are voluntary. quit whining.
it can not generate enough power during a sunny day to charge the large batteries in any hybrid a useful amount. sure it might charge your cell phone or electric razor but try powering your car off one of those.
anyone who uses an MD5 published on a ftp server or website for that is being seriously misled. a secure hash would have to be signed using DSA or RSA in order for it be meaningful (md5 hasn't counted as a secure hash in eons for that purpose) verified by its public key signed by trustworthy-to-you roots of trust. the.pub files you see on linux kernel downloads for example are exactly this pk signed secure hash.
the fact that you see people post md5s of things or do stupid things like include md5sum files in torrents (hello! bittorrent data is all identified and guaranteed by its SHA1s already) doesn't mean those people have a clue.
the md5sum file of a download is only useful as a final integrity check to make sure no bits were messed up going over the wire or more likely by your own cheap ass non-ecc ram, overclocked cpu, unstable kernel or lousy hard drive.
you think either of them -really- wanted to make a device that lived up to the total technical potential that we all know is possible? nope. they're both gorillas and doing so would conflict with each of their own existing works-very-well-so-we'll-make-sure-it-can't-change business models. memory expansion for cheap storage sizes? apple won't go for that. download arbitrary music over the phones data connection to the phone (purchased from itunes or otherwise)? nope, that'd cost cell phone providers bandwidth. they really want to charge a commission for that. a ringtone sells for a lot of money, why shouldn't someone pay 10-20x that for an actual song on a phone?
thats just for starters.. doomed from the outset. someone not an existing player can do it better and either get squashed, bought or both.

determine your use case. purchase accordingly.

your ipod -is- encrypted if you're stupid enough to buy all of your music from the apple itunes music store with DRM.
its a webpage that someone hit print to PDF on and decided to call it a paper.
regardless of the lame format, its point is correct.
its easy, get a second laptop.

good luck!

try calling 911 on a POTS line or cell phone in any major city and see for yourself.

creative labs clearly believes in intelligent design since they believe something can be created out of nothing.
only the anxious people will think "oh my god! i've got to get tested" and go and voluntarily get poked for a test. ;)

vnc isn't idea. you should try windows remote desktop with the open source rdesktop client. it works better.
