Older versions of Debian supported floppy installs. The last time I tried it (with etch I think) I had some issues that annoyed me and the response I got is that nobody on the dev. team wanted to suffer with a kernel image that doesn't have the kitchen sink loaded so they crippled/dropped floppy install support. Still once you have an older system running it is trivial to upgrade if you have some connectivity.
As many have pointed out there is no comparison between the flexibility offered by a hand held GPS and the limitations of using a GPS enabled cell phone. The significant threat for the big GPS players is the development of OEM in-car GPS by the auto industry. In 10-20 years this will be commonplace in all but the cheapest vehicles. If Garmin and Tom Tom don't work to have their expertise incorporated into those products they will be relegated to the handheld niche.
What is telling here is how the stupidity and short sightedness of the average day trader can cause gross changes in stock valuation for a company that hasn't done anything wrong and doesn't face a real threat from competition for the foreseeable future. This is the mentality that took our economy down. It's sad that no one in the press coming out about this has the clarity of thought to bring this issue to the forefront.
There is no way to make an automatic translator that will work decently with Japanese. Maybe the simplest short phrases will work out okay but anything with any complexity is going to produce nonsense most of the time. This is especially so when translating speech from J to E due to the large amount of homophones and the required contextual understanding to figure out what word is being used. This is just marketing vaporware.
Adobe reader helps you by inserting itself into the startup processes so it will launch faster when you need it. This retards system responsiveness when you want to get going after a reboot. Most users aren't going to know how to stop that. It wouldn't be necessary at all if it wasn't such a bloated monolith with unnecessary features like 3D and Javascript tacked on.
Would it have killed them to use a cross platform library and provide support for OS X and Linux as well? It's not like this is a legacy app or anything.
This is more a matter of dialectical usage. In North America it is typical to refer to companies in the singular whereas the plural interpretation is more typical for British English and those regions it has influence over. It is interesting to note that the term "company" is itself a plural word but "corporation" refers to a plurality of parts (share holders in this case) forming a single body. Then throw in that, in the US at least, companies are legally regarded as individuals and you have a recipe for confusion regarding proper pluralization for corporate entities.
AAC+ uses ABR encoding as the default. The 48Kbps is not the peak bit rate and the difficult sections of the music are going to be compressed at a higher rate. More so if there are a lot of quiet passages that can offset the average. If the Vorbis audio was encoded with CBR the comparison in terms of bit rates isn't exactly valid.
Because it has the best connectivity built into the OS
Riiiight. And any other flavor of Linux is only able to connect at the equivalent level of a coffee can and string telephone. I think the real reason is because Android is a new shiny thing with lots of hype and a comforting corporate mother figure we can all snuggle up to and suckle on.
The product was not sold as a computer or development platform.
Reverse engineering is always allowed unless a contract is place to restrict some activities. It doesn't matter if the device in question was designed for accessibility or not. The only potential issue is with patent violations for disseminating information gleaned from reverse engineering. In this case that won't happen since the only thing being shared are the crypto. keys which can't be protected as a form of IP.
Lucas has a good track record of allowing non-parody derivative works that aren't made for profit. Remember he is a film nerd who once was a part of the group of young Turks who rose up against the corporate mediocrity of the big studios in the 70's. I'm sure he will be amused by it more than anything else.
One general issue with wormholes between two atmospheres is dealing with unbalanced air pressure on either side of the portal. Measures have to be taken to prevent the higher pressure side from flowing into the other end. Presumably the gate technology incorporates some manner of force field to prevent air flow.
You're probably of the LCD generation but go and set up a CRT with interlaced scanning and get back to us when you figure out that viewing 540-line fields is inferior to a progressive scanned image.
Palm has no standing to sue Apple for its games. The industry association is within its rights to sanction Palm for violating its terms and Palm is within its rights to keep reverse engineering Apple's "fixes". The most Palm can do is lodge a complaint with the FTC for anti-competetive practices.
What's up with all the decorative crap that goes into video card housings these days? It would be nice to be able to get high end hardware that isn't burdened with fluff designed to appeal to the minimally sapient crowd.
Rio is no SLC. Here is an example of one of that city's big little problems. The politicians and developers are foaming at the mouth now that they have a more legitimate reason to try and push the people out of these shanty towns. The Chinese did the same thing to some extent but the poverty and related crime are a far bigger issue with Brazil.
Lots of Lotus-using companies already pay IBM for off-site management of their data. I would view this as more of a stopgap measure to keep their current user base from fleeing to the competition.
FWIW I've only seen reports of documents marked as high as "confidential" found floating around. That classification is used for disclosures that result in little damage to national secrets.
You unfortunately got hit with the double whammy of buying an unreliable color laser and experiencing the results of Carly's efforts to lock down consumables. Regardless of manufacturer, color laser is four times more complicated than B&W. It is best to steer clear of unless you really need it. You should know that all of HPs consumer grade and "small office" printers are crap. They are designed to minimize component costs and maximize profit. There is a huge increase in quality with the better office grade printers and they are priced accordingly. Trying to go cheap on a color laser is the wrong way to go with them since it is a guarantee that you'll be stung. The issue with the cartridges dying prematurely because of their "smart" chips is only a factor for the printers designed during Fiorina's tenure. The pre-Carly printers don't pull that crap and will serve dependably for a long long time.
Basically, the the easy way to determine the good printers from the bad ones is to look for those that have a 500-sheet tray or better (or two 250's on some models). These are the good workgroup printers from HP. Because of this reliability you can get a 10-year old HP for a great price and be confident that it will work well for many years to come.
If you get a used one, the most important thing to watch for is the number of pages on the print path, and try to find one with less than 10k.
Caveat emptor. I can't speak for the newer models but for the early HP 4000 series it is possible to reset the page count to any value by using the service menu. I suspect many of the eBay dealers are using this to produce unrealistically low page counts on older printers.

This means Spricket24 is going to have to give back her Emmy.

think linux on Intel hardware
God forbid anyone ever try to do the same to install the anointed MacOS (Praise Be Jobs) on a vanilla PC.
If it snows a lot where you live the wipers can be a godsend... or a frustration as you have to be more careful chipping ice off the headlights.
Come on, they're TWINS.
And one of them is a lesbian right? Maybe more up Hustler's alley.
