"Otherwise you might as well say that Ferrari should only hire race drivers who have no real interest in driving"
Computer programmers are not F1 drivers. They are taxi drivers. Would you consider it odd if you had a brother, who was a taxi driver, who avoided driving during his time off? I wouldn't...
Not owning a car and REFUSING to drive, maybe odd, but preferring not to would be normal.
iiNet passes along ALL infringement notices directly to the police. The police then have the authority to follow them up, issuing a subpoena... or not.
Vista, you mean. Windows 7 is the first windows I've used (at work, I'm OSX and Ubuntu at home) which is faster than the previous version. I'd put it up with XP for speed, if not quicker on the same hardware.
Quick, dirty, and conceptually correct but "exact numbers" wrong explanation:
Say that a zune costs $100, and an ipod touch costs $100. You buy one of each Q1 2008.
Q1 2008: -MS posts a $25 sale to their earnings -Apple posts a $100 sale to their earnings
Q2 2008: -MS posts a $25 sale to their earnings -Apple posts $0
Q3 2008: -MS posts a $25 sale to their earnings -Apple posts $0
Q4 2008: -MS posts a $25 sale to their earnings -Apple posts $0
So if MS now SPENDS $25 developing a new feature in Q3, they can offset the profit with that cost and have a $0 net without any funky business.
For Apple they have to put it against a different set of rules that are a lot more complex (if you don't want to get sued by your shareholders, which they were!!), and thus they instead charge you to offset it.
What apple does for profit recording is how *I* think it "should" be (claiming income that isn't really there is cooking the books at its finest!) but it turns out it's the "wrong" way as far as the SEC is concerned.
This has been proven to be false mumbo jumbo... How do you measure these magnetic fields, and how do you know how they are partitioned without the drive controller doing the work?
It COULD theretically be possibly with an electron microscope, but that is TOO close in. It's just not doable.
How did this get a +5? The ENTIRE POINT OF THIS ARTICLE is that apple is adding the ability to allow or disallow adult apps in 3.0. The same as you can currently do with itunes.
MS needs to kill backwards compatibility and start over on windows.
Windows 8 should (IMO) only run managed code. All apps would be written in.net (be it C# or C++.NET) and have only the.net API to work with. Anything that needs to be added to that API could be added quickly.
Backwards compat would be handled like this, with a W7 (or maybe even just XP) VM with a seamless mode on.
-No more registry -no more unmanaged code (and thus security issues, which MS will NEVER solve) -no more 15 versions of the 20 year old API to support
Every provider has a website with that data. MOST offer an API, so you can have a dashboard/system tray/iphone/whatever widget that shows you in realtime.
With internode mine gives me: -gb left -days left -whehter my current average download rate will run me out of transfer or not
Most PS3s cannot play PS2 games, and of the ones that can there are inconsistancies that depend on exactly which model you got (software vs hardware emulation).
Also, most of the end-of-cycle (read "great") ps2 games won't play.
Are you saying you just changed "intrepid" to "Jaunty" in your sources.list and did a dist-upgrade?
If so: You are an idiot.
Ubuntu understands that there are fundamental system changes that can cause an unbootable computer when you swap out core system libraries, and thus give you their upgrade manager. It handholds the system while it's in an unstable state.
Do patent trolls: -disclose their patents ahead of time in the working group -agree to let their patents be used in the standard as long as compensation is paid -contact the infringing companies immediatly after the standard was formed, continuing for 10 years, getting the cold shoulder, before FINALLY suing them
Oh.. wait... you mean you couldn't even RTFA, let alone do 2 minutes of googling about the situation?
You don't have it right. The patents were mentioned in the process, and CSIRO has been contacting companies for YEARS. They only filed the lawsuits when they finally realized these companies were never going to pay up.

The heater core allows the engine to dissapate more head than with the radiator alone. It's basically another radiator. When your engine is at running temp on a hot day the thermostat is open full time, and your engine would run better if you got a 3 foot high radiator and put it on your root.
I can't think of a single car with a computer controller thermostat, but I could be wrong.

Seinfeld. Jerry makes good but not great money, and has a good but not great apartment.
Elaine starts off poorish, but becomes and exec and her apartment goes up with her.
Kramer is on a trust fund or the like, and lives oddly.
George is either in a mid level apartment or living with his parents.

If you're such a primadonna that you think you're above what everyone else in the dept has had to do then they're probably better off without you.

3/4 ton refers to towing capacity, just as "1 ton pickup" does. Not vehicle weight.
Police forces do not recover data from overwritten disks.
"Formatted" (quick format, destroying partitoin table) yes. Overwritten, no.

Well we'll certainly miss whatever the fuck it is you were maybe going to write but didn't due to this.
Do you have a link to what you've written for mobile phones thus far (android I'm guessing?)?

Did you install both of those firefoxes from official debs from ubuntu, debs you "found" somewhere, or just from the dfault firefox installer?
ALL that ubuntu knows about is what's in dpkg. If you roll your own you should roll a deb so that it at least knows which files are effected.
No, most of the western world is "better" than North Korea. That is not a criticism of their citizens, as they are just along for the ride.

The iphone is 850/1900/2100 for 3g, so it depends on where they are. In a 2100 area they should be fine for 3g.
The site linked in the slashvertisement sells them with usb connectors.

In addition to what others have said, have you heard of WEBKIT?
Was it a legal update you got from MS or your phone provider? OR did you get a gray-market build from xda-dev ?
